the latest action from the fa cup fifth round ties, along with the highlights from today's winter olympics. good evening. team gb is celebrating its most successful day in winter olympic history. lizzy yarnold won gold in the women's skeleton — becoming the first briton ever to defend a winter olympic title. there was a bronze too in the event for her team—mate laura deas, and a bronze in the ski slopestyle for izzy atkin. but there was disappointment for the medalfavourite elise christie — who crashed in the semi—final of the 1500 metre speed skating — and was taken to hospital. david ornstein reports

from pyeongchang. guiding great britain to unprecedented glory, lizzy yarnold and laura deas turning dreams into reality, rewriting the record books. commentator: lizzy yarnold next, the olympic champion, can she make history and win it again? yarnold went into her final slide in second place, but conjured an imperious display and the fastest time any woman has produced on this track to enter sporting folklore. that is a gold medal winning run, i'm sure of it. so it's gold for lizzy yarnold. she's defended her title and become the most decorated british winter olympian in history. she was joined on the podium by team—mate laura deas. the pair rounding off the most successful day their nation has ever seen at a winter games. as yarnold jumped into the crowd to join the celebrations, how did she feel?

exhausted! now a back—to—back champion, the 29—year—old couldn't hide her delight. i'm just so relieved that i've done the race, been consistent and laura and i are on the podium together. for her parents, judith and clive, another moment to savour. from the mixed season she's had to win the gold medal here today and we have a bronze medal as well through laura, is absolutely mind—boggling. a success story was started by the youngest member of team gb, 19—year—old izzy atkin saving her best until last to take bronze in the slopestyle and become britain's first official olympic skiing medallist. great britain's izzy atkin takes a bronze. i'm still kind of speechless. ican't... i'm really excited, really happy, i'm stoked with how i skied and also stoked to win the bronze. the day was however tinged with disappointment as elise christie crashed out of the 1500 metres short track speed

skating and was later disqualified. commentator: christie has crashed again now in the semifinal. she went to hospital as a precaution but was given the all clear and may yet race in the 1000 metres as she bids to avoid a repeat of her nightmare in sochi four years ago. but that will do little to dampen the british euphoria as they delivered on snow and ice a super saturday to live long in the memory. david ornstein, bbc news, in pyeongchang. simon timson is the former performance director of british skeleton. he joins me via webcam from the austrian ski resort of kaprun. thank you forjoining us. what a day for medals in the skeleton. what was going through your mind?m for medals in the skeleton. what was going through your mind? it is absolutely incredible. i am on a ski

holiday and could hardly sleep this morning, my legs were jelly with anticipation. we were all hanging around the tv in a mountain restau ra nt. around the tv in a mountain restaurant. my wife had to quieten me down with cheering when they secured the medals. the hardest bit was looking up for a's face when lizzie came down, thinking, i going to get squeezed out of a medal? then the austrian made a couple of big m ista kes the austrian made a couple of big mistakes have lost out. we were celebrating gold and bronze, which was incredible. how long ago did the tea m was incredible. how long ago did the team start working and preparing for the kind of success we are now seeing? it all started back in the late 90s with two fantastic athletes. kristin went on to be a world champion, alex won bronze in 2002. that enabled us to put in

place a 10—year strategy to try to win an olympic winter gold medal. lizzie repeated four years later in sochl lizzie repeated four years later in sochi. now the first—ever british winter olympians to defend their title and win a second gold medal. i don't think andy has been —— you has beenin don't think andy has been —— you has been in the programme for 16 years and succeeded me as performance director, would have dreamt we would win half the medals on offer at these games. it truly is something very special. a huge achievement for the athletes, the coaches and all the athletes, the coaches and all the support staff. as don parsons took enough —— took a medal on thursday, let's not forget him. what makes a great skeleton athlete? the formula is quite simple. they need to bea formula is quite simple. they need to be a really good athlete, fast sprinter, and you thought laura and lizzie beat two of the fastest starters in the race. it starts fast

but you have to be calm and cool on the slides, make small adjustments and steers. good hand eye coordination, really good feel for the slide on the ice. the different pressures in the corner, it's quite sensitive piece of equipment. it is highly skilled driving that the difference. it looks like you are just throwing yourself down a slope ona just throwing yourself down a slope on a tea tray, to the untrained eye for top how important are these suits they work? nobody is too disappointed, but the opposition spent a lot of time talking about oui’ spent a lot of time talking about our suits. at the end of the day, you have to run really fast and then it comes down to the drive. the skill of steering the slide through the corners, controlling the pressure, avoiding the little bumps that can shape of hundreds or attem pts that can shape of hundreds or atte m pts of that can shape of hundreds or attempts of a second. the suits help but you still have to start fast and

drive well. and have nerves of steel? absolutely, that really helps. how cool and calm was lizzie on that final run? she put down a track record that meant she had the two fastest times in the race of the first run and fourth run, the biggest pressure runs. the true hallmarks of a champion. let's not forget laura as well. fantastic final run. it gave laura the opportunity to win a bronze. a brilliant day for british winter sports. three medals we probably wouldn't have thought about going into the day. a sensational performance by team gb. into the day. a sensational performance by team gbi into the day. a sensational performance by team gb. i rarely interview anyone who grins as much as you! enjoy the rest of your skiing trip. the british skeleton performance demonstrator. ukip have voted to remove their leader henry bolton after less than six months in the job. 63% of party members supported the motion of no confidence, following the controversy over

racist messages sent by his then partner. the party will now have it's fourth leadership election since 2016. the interim leader is gerard batten, one of the party's mep‘s. this is the moment ukip chairman paul oaken announced that mr bolton was no longer the party leader. we have received back 1,3078 ballot papers. 11 of those ballot papers were spoiled. the number of members in support of the motion of no—confidence, therefore, asking that henry bolton be removed as leader, is 867. applause. that is 63% of the vote. applause. there were 500 votes cast by those wishing to reject the motion,

that is 37% of the vote. therefore, henry bolton has been removed by the democratic decision of the membership. henry bolton has been giving his reaction to our reporter kathryn stanczyszyn. a little bit disappointed, of course. you don't go into something like this without hoping you will be successful. my fear now is that we don't really have a political entity a national entity in this country, that is really going to be effective in delivering the voice of 17.4 million people who voted to leave the eu. and in influencing the trajectory this country comes out of the eu. i think that is a shame. nigel farage suggested that if you were no longer in charge, it is likely that ukip would fade into

irrelevance. i think that's very likely. if you look at the challenging events that they have embarked upon, the agm, interim leadership, then another leadership contest, 30 days down the road, that is just about exactly the same time as the local government elections. in between they still have to hold a national executive committee election, which they have postponed twice for whatever reason. it is a hugely challenging time for the party. a time when it should be on the battlefield, delivering messages on getting out of the eu. why do you think you lost? a range of reasons. the main reason, i think, was that the nec does hold a huge amount of power in the party. one of the things i wanted to do was reduce that and put some checks and balances in, so we could professionalise the party, reorganise it and make it fit

for purpose. change isn't always easy for people to accept. some of your former front bench have suggested that far be it from solely to do with the incident withjo marney, it is actually your leadership wasn't good enough and that's why the nec a motion of no confidence. i hear somebody laughing in the background and i rather agree with that. nobody on the nec voted for me in the leadership election. none of them have supported me since. they have rolled out this idea that i have not been doing anything. in the hall today i described some of the things i have been doing. i have embarked on a nationwide tour of this country on a timescale that has not been equalled by any leader outside a general election. i have introduced a digital transformation strategy to revolutionise our internal communications. i have produced now, all after about three months as leader, a new draft constitution.

i have been in the media quite a lot. for all sorts of reasons. the point being that in that time, the national executive committee, which has all the authority in this party, constitutionally, for all aspects of finance, administration, organisation, personnel and policy, al that rests with the nec and it has met three times in the time i have been in my position. who has not been working? we can now speak to the former deputy chair of ukip, suzanne evans. she's in our birmingham studio. thank you very much forjoining us. how inevitable was it that this was going to be the face of henry bolton? fairly inevitable, although there was a points at which we thought the vote would be slightly closer. once the meeting had got going, once steve crowder, former chairman, had made a quite

passionate and logical, reasoned speech why the nec have thought of the original no—confidence votes but he came across very well. and then bolton went into his speech which was a disaster, frankly. i don't think he could have written a worse speech. he seems to blame everybody else for his troubles. and ended up by saying that if he was ousted, he talked about suing the party. a total disaster from start to finish. no surprise that 63% voted to get rid of him. to what extent were the comments made by his former partner, the racist comments she made, to do with his demise rather than his own leadership? ukip has been criticised for being allegedly racist. i fundamentally disagree. i wouldn't be in it if it were. that was a major issue, but not the only issue. the fact was, listen to henry, the interview he has just done, he's everyone's on a nationwide tour. no,

he went around the country speaking to ukip members about brexit. he was never on the media talking about brexit, never holding the government to the fire brexit. he was a spectacular failure as leader. he spent most of his life as an administrator in the public sector, and that's how he came across today, and that's how he came across today, a backroom boy who isn't really up to thejob of a backroom boy who isn't really up to the job of being a frontrunner in the leadership of the political party. how much does the party need nigel farage to take the reins?|j think nigel farage to take the reins?” think it does. nigel farage has backed the last three utterly useless leaders of ukip. he backed diane james, who lasted less than two weeks. he backs paul nuttall who turned out to be a disaster. he backed henry bolton who turned out to be even worse. idol has got us into this position, and i think he should come back and sort out this mess. “— should come back and sort out this mess. —— nigel has got us. he has had terriblejudgment

mess. —— nigel has got us. he has had terrible judgment but was a very good ukip leader himself. we need somebody in ukip now view is a strong leader, he can really fight for this party and fight for this country and fight for the brexit, the clean brexit, that the people voted for. i want to say to him, come back, i know you at i have had oui’ come back, i know you at i have had our differences but come back, lead this party. if you are not prepared to do that, and you are being paid a huge salary by the european parliament to be a full—time politician, and not an occasional politician, and not an occasional politician as full—time study of celebrity, do your duty by this party and this country. if you don't wa nt party and this country. if you don't want to, then please get out of ukip's way and let them choose a leader without any interference from you, because you have shown such poorjudgment in the past. he is being paid bya poorjudgment in the past. he is being paid by a body he doesn't actually agree with being part of it all. it is hardly a ringing endorsement what you were saying. it is your mess, clearing up! what

direction was he need to be taking the party in? the absolute immediate focus has got to be getting that clea n focus has got to be getting that clean brexit that the people voted for. the slogan, take back control, ta ke for. the slogan, take back control, take back control of our borders, oui’ take back control of our borders, our money, oui’ take back control of our borders, our money, our laws. i'm afraid i like many people, most people in ukip as many in the conservative party, tojury ukip as many in the conservative party, to jury have faith that the current government is giving us the brexit we voted for. i think nigel would be very good at giving ukip some strength back, bringing back some strength back, bringing back some voters, some members, new donors, getting that message out there. even if we did go up in the polls we might get the kind of brexit that britain needs in order to be truly successful. i think he has a duty to do that. we could be here all night if we start discussing the nature of the brexit we might get. but we won't. good to

see you, thank you very much. theresa may has said cooperation on security with the european union after brexit calls for a new "deep and special partnership." in a speech in germany, the prime minister warned that failing to work together would put everyone at risk. in response, the president of the european commission jean—claude juncker said he'd welcome a close security alliance — but it must be negotiated separately from other brexit issues. our political correspondent vicki young reports from munich. in defence and security the uk is a significant player and the prime minister hopes that will get her a special deal. she arrived in munich keen to lay out britain's contribution. generous spending on defence and expertise it wants to share even after brexit. theresa may urged the eu to take a practical approach. this cannot be a time when any of us allow competition between partners, rigid institutional restrictions, or deep—seated ideology, to inhibit our cooperation and jeopardise the security of our citizens. she's calling for a new security

treaty so that the close partnership can continue. failure to agree one would have damaging consequences, she said. we must do whatever is most practical and pragmatic in ensuring our collective security. those who threaten our security would like nothing more than to see us fractured. some listening to this were left bewildered. te brexit decision from the point of view of us inside the eu is extremely regretable. things would be so much easier if you stayed, so here comes the question. applause. mrs may pointed out that brexit was a democratic decision politicians should respect. one senior brussels figure seemed to agree. the commission presidentjean—claude juncker said the eu wasn't at war with the uk and didn't want to take revenge on the british people.

he said the security bridge would be maintained but you couldn't mix it up with other issues. so it's a pretty familiar message from theresa may. the uk is leaving the european union but that doesn't mean that close cooperation needs to end and it's a blunt message too, saying to europe's leaders, don't let your ideology get in the way of the safety of our citizens. the government hopes today's speech will show it's acting responsibly, not wanting to drag the important issue of security into fraught brexit negotiations. how much doubt is there really over cooperation regarding security?”

don't think there is a lot of doubt when it comes to these crucial issues. in recent years, with those devastating attacks by extremist groups, including so—called islamic state, we have seen that there has been an urgent need for intelligence cooperation, data—sharing, countries to talk to each other about these shared threats. that is why when you have this unprecedented announcement ina public have this unprecedented announcement in a public meeting by the head of mi6 and the head of the french and german intelligence agencies here are at the start of the munich security conference, they said we need modern ways to fight modern problems. in other words, to work together, not in silos as we have donein together, not in silos as we have done in the past. but was a signal to say that britain has expertise when it comes to these, security whether it is intelligence sharing or other defence matters. and therefore that should continue no matter what the arrangements or with the eu. to what extent might be you

feel that britain wants to use security as leveraged regarding brexit negotiations, even though the majority of them say it is an entirely different matter? you saw mrjunker‘s comments. he made did excellently clear, don't try to muddy the waters. we have enough on our plate as it is, let's discuss brexit, the procedure is, the process to britain's departure. but security arrangements are not part of it. he was open, he made it clear in his very matter of fact way that this was not on his agenda and it shouldn't be on the minister made's agenda because she has enough to do as it is. i think it would be welcomed by others sitting in the audience come some of whom, a lot of whom, it has to be said by the public reaction to the speeches, would have preferred britain to be

staying in the eu. they would very much want some kind of british presence when it comes to these crucial matters that affect every country that is part of this security conference. thank you very much. and we'll find out how this story — and many others — are covered in tomorrow's front pages at 10:30 and 11:30pm this evening in the papers. our guests joining tonight are nigel nelson, political editor of the sunday mirror and political commentator, jo phillips. two members of the same family — a 15—year—old boy and a 72—year—old man — were killed when the car they were travelling in collided with a train at a level crossing in west sussex .the emergency services were called to barns green near horsham, shortly after half past eight this morning. no—one on the train was hurt. a court in pakistan has sentenced a man to death for the murder and rape of a 6 year old girl. zainub ansari's body was found on a rubbish dump in the city and rape of a 16 year old girl. zainub ansari's body was found on a rubbish dump in the city of kasur injanuary.

2a year old imran ali confessed to the killing and to attacks on other young girls. her murder triggered riots across the country over alleged police incompetence in the investigation into zainub's murder. president trump has met survivors of wednesday's high school shooting in florida, in which 17 people died. it comes as pressure mounts on the fbi over the agency's failure to act on a tip—off that nikolas cruz, the suspected gunman, might carry out an attack. aleem maqbool reports. some survivors of the school attack are still being treated in hospital. as he promised, the president visited here, albeit very briefly. reporter: did you see some victims, mr president? yes, i did, i did indeed and it was very sad, something like that could happen, but the jobs the doctors do, the nurses, the hospital, first responders, law enforcement, really incredible. donald trump also met officials from the emergency services. what he didn't do though was answer any questions about the need

to tighten gun laws. more funerals are being held for the 17 people who died. most of them teenagers shot in their classrooms. this gun show was advertised close to the very school where the shooting took place. we weren't allowed in but spoke to people as they left. is it worth sacrificing guns if it means there will not be any mass shootings or school shootings? i don't think it would make a difference, that's my honest opinion. if it was proven to me, sure, but unfortunately that's not the case. life is delicate, you could kill somebody with a pencil. barking up the wrong tree. and with more than 300 million firearms in circulation in this country, how do you change a gun culture that's become such an integral part of american life? aleem maqbool, bbc news, in florida. the president of haiti has called for an investigation into the activities of aid agencies working in his country, saying that the scandal involving

some oxfam workers was just the tip of the iceberg. he said the charity doctors without borders had repatriated some of its staff from haiti without any explanation. the charity said it takes any reports of staff misconduct seriously and are seeking to clarify the questions raised. an earthquake has shaken wales and parts of west england. you can see the large red lines here from the british geological survey — they show the tremor which was a magnitude of 4.4. the epicentre was around 12 miles outside swansea. tremors of this scale are only felt in the uk every two to three years. let's speak to james murray, who was in swansea city centre when the earthquake happened. and sue bailey, who was at home in birchgrove, just outside the city. thank you very much forjoining us. james, what did you feel when you we re james, what did you feel when you were out in swansea?”

james, what did you feel when you were out in swansea? i was outside a shop with my wife will stop i was kneeling down with my toddler. as i was cracking down, it felt like someone was cracking down, it felt like someone nudged me on the shoulder. there was nobody there. i looked to see if anyone had any reaction, and not really. until a lady came out of the shop and set your husband, edgy feel bad? i said, was that the ground moving? they said yes. it was reassuring to know i haven't gone mad. it felt like a couple of inches, it must have only been millimetres. just like i have been off—balance. millimetres. just like i have been off-balance. does that sound familiar? i was in my kitchen. the first southern start was some birds flying past the window. they must have been on the patio and then they flew up very quickly. i thought, i wonder what would? flew up very quickly. i thought, i wonder what would ? probably flew up very quickly. i thought, i wonder what would? probably just flew up very quickly. i thought, i wonder what would? probablyjust a

millisecond later, everything on the ceiling started to shake. it was really peculiar. we have bock in the kitchen and i could see them shaking. it looks a little bit like you with the in shaky video footage or camcorder footage. at the impression i had. at the same time, there was this rumbling, muffled sound. but it didn't, it wasn't in the house it was somewhere distant. i was trying to work out what was happening because none of it made any sense. i thought something had falle n any sense. i thought something had fallen on the roof. but the sound didn't correlate with that. i have this strange feeling like you used to get occasionally when concorde used to fly over south wales, when it was still flying. it would rattle windows. it was that sort of change of pressure, is the only way i can describe it. that wasjust of pressure, is the only way i can describe it. that was just for a split—second but it very strange. we ran outside to see if anything had

falle n ran outside to see if anything had fallen on the roof. then i went round the house, upstairs, to see if a wardrobe or something had fallen over. it was a strange thing to see the kitchen ceiling shaking. i! james, what did your children think of it? they were quite interested in the doughnuts i havejust of it? they were quite interested in the doughnuts i have just bought them. they didn't realise. normally we have these things every two or three years. i come on facebook and see people talking about it. i a lwa ys see people talking about it. i always missed them. it was quite nice to realise but i wasn't going mad and! nice to realise but i wasn't going mad and i have experienced it. you think earthquake and "i g; in a giants. .. you see in a giants... you see the being in a giants... you see the american footage. it was more of just the earth moving. i woke up this morning, i never thought i would feel that. i never thought i would feel that. i never thought i would be speaking to you either. we are very glad you have. i'm glad

they enjoyed the doughnuts and worked frightened. it's good to be able to tell them when they get older. firstly, yes. they want to believe me, perhaps. it is something to tell them, you have been in an earthquake. nothing happens. my wife came out of the shop and said, the roof tiles were shaking in the shop, did you feel it as well? i said, yes, idid. perhaps did you feel it as well? i said, yes, i did. perhaps that ground level it was last from advising. —— left traumatising. something nice to tell the grandkids. absolutely. 4.4, nowhere near as big as some parts of the world have to suffer regularly. but not what you're blessing in swa nsea. but not what you're blessing in swansea. —— expecting in swansea.
