6:30 pm
to the cost of it, that's only fair. former football coach barry bennell is jailed for 31 years — for abusing 12 young players — a judge calls him the "devil incarnate". as the 19—year—old gunman accused of killing 17 people at a florida high school appears in court — president trump signals he'll support improved background checks for people who buy guns. in a moment it will be time for sportsday but first a look at what else is coming up this evening on bbc news. as the debate on gun controls continues in the us — beyond 100 days will be speaking to the father of a tv reporter shot dead live on air in 2015 about his own personal campaign to tighten the law. also tonight — why did the chicken cross the road? well, it wasn't to go to kfc — hundreds of british branches of the fast—food chain run out of the vital ingredient. we'll be finding out why.
6:31 pm
and at 10.40 a look at tomorrow's front pages. joining me are deborah haynes, defence editor at the times and jim waterson, buzzfeed's outgoing political editor, who's just been announced as the new media editor of the guardian. that's all ahead on bbc news. now on bbc news it's time for sportsday. hello, i'm 0lly foster, welcome to fa cup sportsday, we are live at the dw stadium this evening to see if history will repeat itself. wigan‘s greatest day was in this competition just over 5 years ago, stunning manchester city in that wembley final. wigan flying the flag for league one now, and so too rochdale, a replay for them against spurs — that's the biggest shock from the fifth round so far.
6:32 pm
hello from me hugh ferris at the bbc sport centre. also coming up in the programme. it's getting to the must win stage for the team gb curlers at the winter olympics. and both the men and eve muirhead's women's team get exactly that to keep their semifinal hopes alive. and wayne bennett has been reappointed as england's rugby league head coach on a two—year deal. but with no guarantee he will stay on to lead the side in the 2021 world cup. good evening, an fa cup quarterfinal is at stake tonight and there is no way that manchester city will be taking wigan lightly. they may be romping to the title, in next weekend's league cup final and also looking strong in europe
6:33 pm
but this fixture is one that has defined wigan. 2013... yes the year they were relegated from the premier legaue, but also the year they won the fa cup by beating manchester city. maybe they will be inspired by those memories once again. it was a strange week, quite relaxed in terms of build ups. manchester is a massive club and everyone expected them to beat us in the final. i carries him out like a mascot. he
6:34 pm
camped me down. we got into our huddle. we focused and enjoy the moment and try to make history. the first ten minutes, we had a great save. as the game went on, we got more control of the game. we got a boost going into half—time. they gave us confidence going into the second half knowing that we could create chances. i remember when one player was sent off, i thought we have a great chance. this header has w011 have a great chance. this header has won the fa cup final for wigan athletic! coming back from a broken
6:35 pm
leg, he came off the bench. i remember in slow motion watching the ball go into the back of the net. there are lots of landmarks for me in terms of personal achievement. the impact was outstanding. something that no one can take away from you. not many people win the fa cup, not many people have a medal. not many people win the fa cup, not many people have a medal. 2013 one of the great cup final shocks, as told by the then wigan skipper emmerson boyce. ben watson is now at nottingham forest, signed a few days ago kick off five to 8 tonight, jermaine jenas is part of the bbc sport team tonight. do you smell an upset in the air
6:36 pm
tonight? it will be tough. wigan have a glut of what the team at the bottom of what the team at the bottom of what the team at the bottom of what the team at the bottom of league one can do. —— got a glimpse. i should think that would inspire them and guardiola will put out a very strong side which will make things difficult. but there are a lwa ys make things difficult. but there are always upsets in the fa cup. guardiola just wants to win every game. 2013 was such a special year. 2013 roberto mancini sacked by city a few days later wigan also relegated later in the week and roberto martinez was gone at the end of the season. wigan relegated a few days later as
6:37 pm
well. they are on the rise again. they have been up and down. such a special year, hard to define this club. i am sure if you spoke to fans, there was mixed emotions during that whole month. you can never take that away from them just to the sake of staying in the premier league. it was tough for them since then but that was true fa cup history. it was a massive upset, so cup history. it was a massive upset, so unexpected. you cannot take that away from those players. what a special year that was, you are right. stay with us. we will hear from pep guardiola in a minute and from pep guardiola in a minute and from the top scorer of the fa cup this season, will grigg, whose goals gotten this far. i am why do every week. i said gotten this far. i am why do every week. isaid if gotten this far. i am why do every week. i said if i get a chance, i
6:38 pm
will score goals. we will not be creative, we will have to take the chances when they come. it is an exciting game and we will be preparing properly, fancy our chances. have you dare to dream about scoring against city? 0bviously about scoring against city? obviously it is premier league opposition and this is a difficult task but we will go out there to win the game and to do that you have to score goals. they are going to start so so score goals. they are going to start so so hard because they are so intense. they are so aggressive without the ball and we have to be ready. will grigg is on fire. will grigg has become a cult figure — fa cup top scorer with 6. he has his own song. he is scoring
6:39 pm
goals, not only in the fa cup by his league form has been good. for wigan, it is about taking that one opportunity. if will grigg is on the end of one of the passes, the form he is in, he can stick it away. there have been two matches against bournemouth, west ham as well, they have worked hard to get this far, they deserve it. two premier league sides and there are, they do not concede. pep guardiola is giving his tea m concede. pep guardiola is giving his team upfor concede. pep guardiola is giving his team up for write—offs evening because mike work and rightly so. they won in cardiff in round three and four. we haven't got the news in
6:40 pm
yet but you guess it will be a strong team. definitely, i have watched the teams that pep guardiola has put out, when other sides have rested players, he has gone strong. he wants to win as many games as possible. tonight will be another one of those nights. he will be telling his players, i want this trophy and this is a great opportunity. you mentioned rochdale and we will get onto them. there are five teams definitely through to the quarterfinals. letters have an remainder of the 75th ties we solve the weekend. —— like us. remainder of the 75th ties we solve the weekend. -- like us. what is shots. first goal conceded in this competition. jamie vardy! what a

6:42 pm
in this tie. here is an opportunity. would you believe it? the ball is drilled home by steve davis and rochdale live again, their wembley dream is alive again. there is some natural emotion there from keith hill. it looks like all back to wembley. would you believe it is indeed? rochdale, wembley. would you believe it is indeed ? rochdale, you wembley. would you believe it is indeed? rochdale, you were there?|j was. indeed? rochdale, you were there?” was. drama, that is why we love the fa cup. rochdale, bottom of league one. wiganjust fa cup. rochdale, bottom of league one. wigan just off the top of league one but that was amazing. one. wigan just off the top of league one but that was amazingm was. everyone thought reading the pitch would have —— which helps buyers but those players should that maybe they wanted the new pitch.
6:43 pm
because buyers under pressure. —— because they put spurs under pressure. they were a completely different team the second half. just like newport county in a previous round against buyers. let us look at the quarterfinal draw. weekend march 17/18th leicester v chelsea. man utd v brighton. this year, i am not sure what the fa cup means to you? you major professional debut first forest many yea rs professional debut first forest many years ago, normally things have not gone that well, but we look to the likes of rochdale to perhaps when it
6:44 pm
to bring some drama? they are doing the competition justice and the other teams fighting to get to that position. rochdale have their own many final, an attempt to get to wembley. everybody knows the pressures for the manager to win silverware. the big four teams are still left them so it is going to be a good competition. kick-off here is just before eight o'clock. let's head back to the bbc sport centre and get all the rest of today's sportsnews with hugh ferris. let us return to the winter 0lympics. carling does not seem to get any breaks. the men and their women are back to fight for the
6:45 pm
semifinal place. the women were trailing 7—6 before that crucial final hammer, eve muirhead held her nerve. it was close—run but she held her nerve. the men skipp, carl smith did the same as eve muirhead, bringing it in with the final stone. into the cold for more news from team—mate gb. rowan cheshire. she qualifies for the final of the half pipe. four years since the horrific crash in training prevented her competing out in sochi. she missed out on the final. talking of crashes, another two for snowboarder aimee fuller. this is the pictures she showed off her battle scars
6:46 pm
after another tumble. this is how it happened today. she fell after both her attempts, this is her second. she also crashed on the slope style last week as well so it has been ha rd last week as well so it has been hard going for aimee fuller. her games mac over. gold medals today, two in their two—man bobsleigh. because of a dead heat. the german tea m because of a dead heat. the german team had already gone before the canadian pair recorded exactly the same time after their four runs. the first time the olympic title has been sheared in 20 years. the other gold medals, both went to norway in their men's 500 metre skating and this speed jump. norway have consolidated their position at the top of the medals table. 0ne
6:47 pm
consolidated their position at the top of the medals table. one other story from the winter games involves this woman, penny coombs tweeted today to see this. what is she talking about? this is her in action with her partner. the safely progress to the final day of theice safely progress to the final day of the ice dance competition. finishing tenth in the short programme. the making their third appearance at a winter games, two years after she smashed her kneecap into eight pieces and was told she would never again. it is definitely a different feeling going into the competition, yes that is pressure but ijust feel excited to get back out there again. so thankful to be here. i was going
6:48 pm
round when they read out the scores andi round when they read out the scores and ijust round when they read out the scores and i just smiled, round when they read out the scores and ijust smiled, after everything i have been through, i made it.l big day for them and many more. you can get all the news from the games on our website. next to two cyclists who have become so inseparable they're even making a comeback at the same time. mr and mrs kenny haven't represented their country since the olympics in 2016 when they increased their golden haul to 10 between them. jason's retired. briefly. and laura's had a baby. but they're preparing for their return at this year's world championships. alistair bruce—ball reports. just six months after having her son, laura kenney is back on track for great britain, competing in the world track cycling championships in the netherlands next week. the scene of first win as a freshfaced 18—year—old in 2011. she won gold
6:49 pm
then, she has won six more since then. she is now back as a mother. ifiam then. she is now back as a mother. if i am leaving my son to train, that has to be worth it. i am not coming in pointlessly. i am coming in to doa coming in pointlessly. i am coming in to do a job and do it well and go back home and be mum. bernie that is really important. if i am going to leave him, it has to be borrowed good reason, not just leave him, it has to be borrowed good reason, notjust for the sake of it. he has been contemplated retirement after the rio 0lympics but it was his wife's speedy return that speeded him on. we kind of put things in place. we put things in place to rejuvenate us and it motivated as. if laura was planning on coming back, why can i? laura and jason and the other great traders
6:50 pm
will head out on friday. katie archibald will defend her world title in the 0mnium. helena barker will do the same as the team try to build their gold—medal winning momentum for the tokyo 0lympics build their gold—medal winning momentum for the tokyo olympics in two years. and in rugby league — england have reappointed australian wayne bennett as head coach on a two—year deal. he guided the side to last year's world cup final, where they lost 6—nil to hosts australia. depsite signing the new contract there's no guarantee the 68 year old will lead england into the 2021 tournament. basketball is one of britain's most popular team sports at grassroots level. but its governing body sats the elite game is facing an imminent funding crisis. british basketball may have to withdraw from international competitions. because they could run out of money by the end of march. holly hamilton has been finding out more. played by over 300,000 people every week, it's the second most popular team sport among 11—15—year—olds in the uk. and with more than half from black, asian and minority ethnic
6:51 pm
backgrounds, basketball is also one of the most diverse and most inclusive. you just need a ball and a hoop really to play it. a fun, accessible sport, it's something you can teach yourself. it's something you don't normally think in social life you communicate with or have any association with but basketball isjust a common interest. can't get enough of basketball, love it, it's part of me, part of my life, part of who i am. while there's plenty of support and investment for those who play at grassroots level, in the elite level it's a totally different ball game. four years ago uk sport withdrew its financial support for british basketball, a decision based on the team's lack of olympic success. now the organisation is facing the very real prospect that the cash could be about to run out. it's inconceivable no one has made a step at the moment to enable us to function at least at a level that we could be competitive. if no one stepped up and nothing happens what's the future
6:52 pm
for british basketball? at senior level we would have to withdraw from competitions. and that would be devastating for both senior teams, the women, currently ranked 21st in the world, to play as well, the young players to play and if there's nothing for them to come in after that then what's the point? funding does put a restriction on young players. my parents found it difficult in terms of paying to play for your country, paying to travel, paying for kit. it does make it very difficult, especially when you can't fully afford it. when it comes to investment in sport in britain, this is what matters. uk sport has a no compromise strategy of basing funding on 0lympic medals.
6:53 pm
and while that means sports like basketball miss out, it's a policy that's proven to be hugely successful. the result is we stretch it as far as we possibly can to cover as many athletes and sports as we possibly can, but inevitably we run out at a particular point. basketball in particular is a long way off even qualifying to be at the olympic games, let alone having medal potential. but there's a new generation still hoping to some day represent their country and that will need funding fast. the financial crisis goes now to westminster with politicians due to debate the issue tomorrow. and with £1 million desperately needed to pay for eight teams forjust one year, the ball will be in their court. holly hamilton, bbc news. that's it from me. much more sport throughout the evening. but for now it's back to 0lly foster in wigan. thank you very much, just one hour
6:54 pm
away from their matches starting. 2013, time us best away from their matches starting. 2013, time us be you with their we'll—£512.71 i. i; 3111.1; with their women's 553 5 1:13:5’; with their women‘s fa cup 53311—2— up—to—date with their women's fa cup as well. all the third—round ties we re as well. all the third—round ties were yesterday. here is the draw for the last eight. liverpool and england defender casey stoney has retired from her playing career but willjoin phil neville's coaching team with the lionesses.
6:55 pm
the 35 year old willjoin neville's team at the shebelieves cup in the united states next month. her experience will be much appreciated. let us get more on the match tonight. let us bring in kevin who is working for five live. a former player. they do love playing manchester city, we knocked them out of the quarterfinals in 2014 as well. i have been fortunate to be in a wigan side that beat manchester city here. it was a different side became here then. do i think wigan will win this evening? i would suggest no, given the quality they have no and what has happened since
6:56 pm
2013, the bad very high. they were top of league one but have lost their last two matches. you look at their last two matches. you look at the west ham in bournemouth result in the fa cup, you can switch in many respects. i think the priority is yes, league one but when you have that big game, that takes over the main set. in general i think we will get an entertaining match. pep guardiola is spinning so many plates, going for the quadruple? yes, wigan play open and expansive football. city can destroy sides when you play open against them but in general, look at the quality of theirman in general, look at the quality of their man city players and you start to think it will be a monumental result if wigan can beat this
6:57 pm
brilliant manchester city said this evening. bernado, silver, david silva, fernandinho, daniel and gravel in gaul. and david silva as well, it is paramount for city getting him back. many thanks indeed. you're on five live this evening after seven o'clock. you can catch up and all those fa cup goals on the bbc website. from all of us here at the dw stadium ahead of wigan athletic against manchester city in the fifth round of the fa cup, it is good night from us. some good news and weather front
