6:32 pm
bradford have all fallen by the way. yeovil town are a league club now, but they are the lowest ranked team left in the competition. and the side that knocked them out all those years ago at the end of their greatest cu p years ago at the end of their greatest cup run was, would you believe it, manchester united. they will not find it comfortable here, that yeovil have to call on that spirit of 49. no matter what the result, we yeovil shall have a rattling good day out. good evening. i am ollie foster and we are live at huish park, home of yeovil town, for tonight's fa cup sports day. it could be a rattling good night tonight. they will pay
6:33 pm
him over half £1 million a week, so they are not giving him the week off. we are expecting manchester united's alexis sanchez to be making his debut tonight. the yeovil town manager can only dream of such riches, but his outlook may be slightly different did jose mourinho's. he isjust glad to be in the game. did you think you were going to die? yes, it is a scary feeling, that is for sure. and i am lizzie greenwood—hughes at the bbc sport centre with the rest of today's stories. there'll be no whitewash for england in their one day series against australia after losing the 4th game in adelaide. and roger federer is through to a record 7th australian open final after after his semifinal opponent had to retire due to blisters. good evening, welcome along to an
6:34 pm
already raucous huish park. we are about an hourand already raucous huish park. we are about an hour and 20 minutes away from the kick—off here. yeovil town inlaid two against the mighty manchester united again. we will get into the history between the two teams. yeovil town, the glovers, because this little corner of somerset became famous for making gloves. at the moment it is a pretty sorry state for this team because you can count on one gloved hand just how many places they are above the bottom of league two. they are the bottom of league two. they are the lowest ranked team in the competition. manchester united are second in the premier league, 12 times winners of this competition. they were here a few years ago, manchester united, so no real novelty. this is a jose mourinho
6:35 pm
manchester united and this could see the start of alexis sanchez‘s manchester united career as well. he has travelled with the squad. no tea m has travelled with the squad. no team news yet, but we expect him to be involved at some point. the kick—off is at five minutes to eight. let's bring in martin keown and three—time fa cup winner with arsenal. just talking about alexis sanchez. it could all start for him here tonight. who would have thought it would be at yeovil that he would have started for manchester united? they are paying him an enormous amount of money. i think the pitch will cut up a lot. we have got muggy feet here, it could cut up over there. there have been 49 matches on it already, the ladies were a team plays here. jose mourinho has only w011 plays here. jose mourinho has only won this competition once and he
6:36 pm
wa nts to won this competition once and he wants to win it again. i fear for yeovil a little bit, but who knows? there may be another giant—killing. you mentioned the money, alexis sanchez, and that is what everyone has been talking about all week. it is eye watering. you feel that might have led him from a better path in his career? it looked as if he was going to manchester city once he made up his mind to leave arsenal. he was going after the money, he was being a bit mercenary. you go to manchester united for different reasons. for him to have manchester city chasing him for months and then to go to manchester united, it has to go to manchester united, it has to be the money. the premier league 110w to be the money. the premier league now is all about manchester city, an outstanding team. for me i do not understand why he did not go to the best tea m understand why he did not go to the best team and manchester city are at the moment. what a night for yeovil. they had them here three years ago
6:37 pm
with louis van gaal, his first taste of the fa cup. but for them to see these best players in the land, it could be a special night. over the yea rs could be a special night. over the years yeovil town have had that giant—killing tied to their name. i do not think it will happen now in the modern—day game, such is the strength of manchester united. let's hope they give a good account of themselves. stay with us. the crowds are already coming in. the yeovil manager darren way was a stalwart in midfield, part of the yeovil team that got them into the football league for the first time in 15 yea rs league for the first time in 15 years ago, but not so long ago he thought that was it for him. not just his playing career, but his life as well. he was involved in a terrible accident. he has been speaking to mark clemmit. terrible accident. he has been speaking to mark clemmitlj terrible accident. he has been speaking to mark clemmit. i have been at a stage where it was life or death. i am very thankful for the
6:38 pm
fa ct death. i am very thankful for the fact that i am here today. i have had 21 operations. against all odds, to get into this position is what dreams are made of. you have a very unique perspective on football because of what you have been through. it has probably helped me with football management and i wake up with football management and i wake up early every morning with the willpower to succeed. do you mind sharing the events of a few years ago? it is still clear to be now. a vehicle hit me head—on at a combined speed of nearly 140 miles an hour. i had to hold on for dear life. the noise still lives with me to this day now. when it is life or death,
6:39 pm
what is the words you want to use? i told kelley that i love her and the kids. did you think you were going to die? yes, i cannot describe what it feels like, but knowing in your mind that you could be out of here soon. . . mind that you could be out of here soon... when an occasion like this comes along, do you take time to reflect on the fact that you nearly we re reflect on the fact that you nearly were not here to enjoy it? it is a magical moment going up against manchester united to have the opportunity to manage a game against probably the best manager in the world. it shows all the hard work has paid off. it is amazing it is manchester united. i was at the lowest point in my life and sir alex broadstone manchester united to play at my testimonial. after such a
6:40 pm
horrendous event, nothing else can be anywhere near as serious or as important? football is very important? football is very important to me. i was not doubting that, but you nearly lost your life, so losing four games in a row in comparison does not matter.m so losing four games in a row in comparison does not matter. it stars because i am a winner. i have got to where i am because on all fronts i like to think i am winning. are you proud of yourself? yes, i am proud of my wife more importantly and i am proud of my children and that makes me do what i do. it is an incredible story house in an accident he was involved in that it ended his career and he is in the dugout tonight. i was speaking to darren way a bit earlier and he said he may onlyjust be able to get a full bench tonight. the club is in financial straits and he has lost is loaned players. you
6:41 pm
could not ask press at a difference between the two managers? that accident has given him the strength and resolve to go on to be a manager. he has carried the expectations of this club for many yea rs expectations of this club for many years as expectations of this club for many yea rs as a expectations of this club for many years as a player, coach and manager. they are only two points out of the relegation zone. tonight will be an opportunity to take that pressure off himself and enjoy himself. he can put his wits against thoseit himself. he can put his wits against those it were he has talked about a dream for his players and why not. he wrote headline on the whiteboard, yeovil causes amazing cup upset. he is getting into his players big brother: minds. look at the other dugout. 55 today, and also his 100th game in charge. does he want to win the fa cup? manchester united played here a couple of years ago at yeovil
6:42 pm
and they know the difficulties they felt, so we have to go with a very strong team. we are going to rest a couple of players and we have also got a couple with little problems that we want to try to resolve, to have them without problems for the next matches coming in february in the premier league, but also the champions league. but apart from that we go with a very strong team. he seems a little bit downbeat, but the atmosphere is building by the second. it will be a cracking start to the fourth round, 16 ties across the weekend. one word of warning is manchester united have flown up here on the day and they were training in a car park down the road. have they been professional enough? maybe yeovil will take advantage of that. but manchester united have got the quality and we are happy to see them
6:43 pm
in this part of the world. you will be on bbc one for the tv coverage. we will be back a bit later on. it isa we will be back a bit later on. it is a very busy day of sport. and lizzie greenwood hughes has been right across it. and lizzie greenwood hughes has been right across it. they lost by three wickets, although it could have been worse after australia had been five down after just eight runs. having already won this series, english cricket could once again stand proud. still, they say pride comes before a fall. this fall was more like an extraordinary collapse. jason roy out second ball, and neitherjonny bairstow nor alex hales lasted much longer. surelyjoe root could steady the stumble? well, no, england four down for just six runs. jos buttler was the next to go, 8—5.
6:44 pm
england in desperate need of something to cling on to and they found it in chris woa kes. his 78 stopped it from being truly embarrassing, but a total of 196 never seemed enough. a point fully emphasised by the australian opener travis head. a few quick wickets made it feel like a contest, including taking one just four short of a century. but that was the only australian disappointment. victory was comfortable and after three defeats, it was very welcome. still with cricket and a dangerous pitch injohannesburg caused play to be abandoned late on day three of the test between south africa and india. chasing 241 to win the match in the final innings, south african batsman dean elgar was hit on the grille of his helmet by a short ball from india's jasprit bumrah. discussions took place between the umpires at the wanderers before play was stopped.
6:45 pm
a decision will be made about the rest of the test either tonight or tomorrow morning. roger federer is going for a record 7th australian open title. not quite in the fashion he would have wanted to though, as his south korean opponent, hyeon chung, was forced to retire in their semifinal with severe blisters. nick parrott reports. even ina even in a tournament full of upsets, few would forecast a downturn in fortu nes few would forecast a downturn in fortunes for roger federer. with the roof closed in melbourne the atmosphere amplified for his semifinal with hyeon chung. but few things can distract the greatest. the swiss won the toss, elected to receive and showed his intense to break the outsider at his first attempt. an early on the south korean got an inkling that luck would not be on his side. at 36 there are cracks appearing in federer‘s game, but at 21 hyeon chung lacked the experience to exploit them. it was made harderfor
6:46 pm
him with his mobility hampered. federer was blistering as well, but with brilliance. it proved too much and trailing 5—2 in the second set the pain was so much that hyeon chung could not continue.|j the pain was so much that hyeon chung could not continue. i have played with blisters in the past and it hurt a lot and you cannot take it any more and when you realise there is no way you can come back, if you make things worse, it is better to stop. that is why this feels bittersweet. i am happy to be in the finals, but not quite like this. and he has played such an incredible tournament. despite the pain of his defeat hyeon chung can leave australia with his head held high, optimistic that his future is bright. for federer a much tougher time lies in wait with marin cilic standing between him and his 20th grand slam title. standing between him and his 20th grand slam title. elsewhere at the australian open, british pairing gordon reid and alfie hewett have lost their wheelchair doubles final. the reigning us open and wimbledon champions lost to the french rivals stephane houdet and nicolas peifer.
6:47 pm
reid and hewett were left ruing a number unforced errors as they were beaten 6—4 6—2 at melbourne park. the women's final takes place tomorrow and there'll be a new name on the trophy as simona halep and caroline wozniacki try to win their first grand slam title. the top two seeds also take to court with the world number one ranking at stake. wozniacki will go above halep if she wins. we asked former british number one sue barker who she thinks will triumph. iam going i am going with simona halep, but i think it will be long and tough. somehow i feel after that french open when she lost to step ankle and it hurt her so much, i think somehow she will dig deeper. they have had match point against them, both of them, coming through, so they are such great fighters, but for me simona halep might edge it.
6:48 pm
but for me simona halep might edge it. now, sophie hahn is a paralympic gold medallist and a five—time world champion. she has cerebral palsy, a condition caused by problems with the brain before, during orjust after birth. it affects movement and co—ordination. in october at a parliamentary hearing into paralympic classification, the father of one of her team—mates claimed the athlete was benefiting from competing in the wrong category. but now in her first interview since the accusations, she told our reporter kate grey the claims were heart—breaking. sophie hahn is normally a private person. hi. hello. but after being named in a row over classification in paralympic sport, she's invited me to herfamily home to give her side of the story. it's just really heartbreaking for me, and it doesn't do the sport any good. we want to inspire people, we want people with disability to come and try it out. in october, while giving evidence to a committee of mps, michael breen, the father of olivia breen, who competes in the same category as sophie, appeared to call into question sophie's classification.
6:49 pm
ms hahn didn't have cerebral palsy, but she had learning difficulties. but she'd ended up with a cerebral palsy classification. claiming she has an unfair advantage over her competitors, by having less of an impairment. i was really angry and upset. i never imagined seeing my face all over the internet, the newspaper, the tv. i think with me, ijust work unbelievably hard. i put in hours of training on the track. it was interesting, we were told you'd never go to a sports day... sophie is a twin and following a complicated birth was diagnosed with brain damage, which affected her growth and development as a child. over the first two, three years, she couldn't sit, couldn't walk until she was three. she didn't stand until she was two. she spent most of her life in the children's centre. in the four years since she's been
6:50 pm
competing, her family have felt her achievements have been undermined by behind—the—scenes accusations that sophie is in the wrong category. no two athletes are the same, so there will be groups. we've questioned whether or not we should, you know, carry on. yeah. and so has sophie, to be honest. there are times when sophie has said, that's it. i'm quitting. it's not worth it. in the next few months, sophie will have to go through the classification process again, along with many other athletes, in accordance with the changes made by the paralympic committee. but for now, she's fully focused on her training ahead of competing in the commonwealth games for the first time. if i could add the commonwealth title, then i would have had all titles at 21. and just keep going, keep striding, getting better, really. and that's how sophie wants to be remembered, for her success on the track rather than what goes on of it. go! kate grey, bbc news, loughborough. now, just before we go back
6:51 pm
to olly for the build up to tonight's fa cup 4th round, let's just talk about the fa people's cup. it's the biggest five—a—side competition in the country and this year has 18 categories, aiming to encourage people of all ages and ability to get involved with the sport and the winners will get to lift their trophy at wembley during the fa cup final. bbc radio1 extra's and fa people's cup presenter nick bright was in the studio earlier speaking to some of last year's participants. nobody expected us to win, we actually play hockey normally, so football is not our primary sport. it was a shock and we had a great time. one of your team members got to live the trophy on the pitch. an amazing experience. and tell me about that cogs. we started a few years agojust learning about that cogs. we started a few years ago just learning to play foot ball years ago just learning to play football and we entered for fun. we make a bit of a social thing of it
6:52 pm
as well. so it isjust a fun for us. we do try to win obviously, but we do not sometimes get quite so far. you entered this as a bit of fun, but now it is still fun and it has snowballed into something a bit bigger. this team we have got eight teams entered already and hopefully another two. it is one of the highlights of the year. that is how we look at it. you have got all these teams entering which gives you a higher chance of getting to wembley, so don't write yourself off! we will be going to win, we will give it our best shot and we will give it our best shot and we will have fun doing it at the same time. there are 18 categories, so you will know people of all different shapes, sizes and ages who can enter. the sign up closes on the 18th of february and i am looking forward to seeing you both there. we are looking forward to being there. we are looking forward to being there. so, from the people's cup back to the fa cup.
6:53 pm
it's 4th round weekend and we're live at yeovil town. take it away olly. many thanks. we are under an hour to kick—off. you know what that means. just over an hour actually, but the tea m just over an hour actually, but the team news has come through and would you believe it... and she starts for manchester united tonight. half £1 million a week and all that, but jose mourinho has thrown him straight in from the start here against yeovil town. it is not the strongest team for manchester united. marcus rashford is playing. carrick captains the side. parreira scored a fantastic goal three years ago against yeovil in the third round. juan mata is playing and alexis sanchez, the £500,000 a week man. that is the breaking news in
6:54 pm
the last couple of minutes. it is just one of 16 ties across the weekend. no non—league sides even made it through to the third round, so we are looking for those upsets elsewhere. here tonight perhaps and perhaps a rodney parade. newport cou nty perhaps a rodney parade. newport county knocked out leads in the third round and they have got totte n ha m third round and they have got tottenham hotspur from the third round and they have got tottenham hotspurfrom the premier league visiting tomorrow. spurs have had a little wobble in the league, dropped out of the top four and they would certainly love to win the fa cup again. hopefully we will win. we try to do all we can to win one trophy this season. i think we have a very good squad and i believe in this team and we will achieve something. i am this team and we will achieve something. iam here this team and we will achieve something. i am here in london only to play football and to play for totte n ha m to play football and to play for tottenham hotspur. iam to play football and to play for tottenham hotspur. i am away from a country, it is hard for me to be
6:55 pm
here alone. i need to respect the times, i have had an injury, and now iam back times, i have had an injury, and now i am back again and i am enjoying it. spurs go to newport county. go to the bbc sport website for all the ties. let's get a bit more from our pundits on television this evening. alan shearer, sorry that is not alan shearer! you have to improve, there is no doubt about that and alexis sanchez will improve that manchester united team. he will put pressure on those guys as well and as a footballer that is what you need, you need someone footballer that is what you need, you need someone behind you to keep pushing you to make you better. where do you stand on the eye watering amount of money, the contract that he has reportedly signed? we will not change that, we will have to accept it. it is only
6:56 pm
going to get bigger. the name ideas increased transfer fees and wages for everyone. it is an incredible amount of money. believe it or not, it isa amount of money. believe it or not, it is a good dealfor amount of money. believe it or not, it is a good deal for manchester united to get a player of his ability in. it was a swap for mkhitaryan, so we are not sure what the transfer fee would have been. mkhitaryan, so we are not sure what the transferfee would have been. i know if he had had some years left on his contract, you would have been talking about 90 or1 million for a player like that. if he wanted to make more money, he could have sat tight for three or four months and waited until the end of his contract. he has gone to a big football clu b contract. he has gone to a big football club to win trophies, albeit that he will get a lot of money. but that is what happens with football. we will see whether or not alexis sanchez is worth his weight in gold or more perhaps. you can keep across all the ties on bbc tv,
6:57 pm
radio and online. sheffield wednesday play reading this evening as well at 7:45 p:m.. but what could be one of the great shocks is on at five minutes to wait here tonight. from huish park and lizzie and the spore state team, whatever sport you are watching this weekend, have a great weekend. good night. —— five minutes to eight. good evening. today was probably the cold est good evening. today was probably the coldest day of the week. milder air is arriving this weekend and it comes is arriving this weekend and it co m es after is arriving this weekend and it comes after rain. the real wet weather is still to arrive as we head into the early hours of the morning into many western areas. ahead of that there are some clear skies and it could be chilly for a while. those temperatures recover
