liverpool are knocked out of the fa cup after a 2—1 loss at wolves making it back to back defeats forjurgen klopp's side. iran win 5—0, as they show why they are one of the favorites at the asian cup. and the dakar rally is underway — we'll bring you the latest from the race through the peruvian desert. hello, and welcome to the programme, where we start with football news in england, and the last of the fa cup third—round fixtures has seen wolves knock seven time winners and premier league leaders liverpool out with a 2—1win at molineaux. watching was ben croucher. if you're going out of the fa cup, go out with a bang. molineaux provided the spectacle befitting a final. wolves and liverpool provided a first half befitting the qualifying rounds. plenty of changes and unfamiliar faces from both teams. it started to go wrong for liverpool when dejan lovren‘s night went out with ping — of his

hamstring, it seems. it saw a debut for 16—year—old ki—jana hoever at centre—half, alongside a guy who normally places in midfield. he's dutch, by the way, gareth. still, even the experienced ones are capable of errors. james milner‘s loose touch, fabinho‘s missed tackle, rauljimenez‘s run — and finish. commentator: rauljimenez, 1-0! that was as good as the first half got. it didn't take long for the second half to improve on it. divock origi's powerful strike the best goal of the game — for all of four minutes. commentator: nevez, might have a go — did have a go! scores. rueben nevez for wolverhampton! it moved and it dipped and it beat mignolet! shaqiri's free—kick had the dip, had the swerve, but didn't beat john ruddy, or the wolverhampton woodword — that close to an equaliser. the situation left liverpool needing to send for a couple of theirfamiliarfaces. they even sent their goalkeeper forward in the dying minutes, too. the ball never made it that far. the competition that probably wasn't at the top of liverpool's list this

season isn't even on their list any more. out not so much with a bang, but a bit of a whimper. it was a very good game for us. i think we did well. against a very good team. we played well. that is how we want to play every game. sometimes it's difficult, but we showed again that we are a great group, a great squad and we can do very good thing. we could have played much more football. the boys can play much better. it is always a problem. it is my responsibility, they have no rhythm. it looks like that sometimes. but, of course, you expect a bit more. that is what we did the second half, scored 1—1 shot from long—range nevez — and the ball was in 2—1. that is the story of the game. in spain, athletic bilbao have

climbed out of the relegation zone after a 2—1win away to celta vigo. inaki williams‘s goal after half time proved the difference taking his side 17th, while celta vigo missed the chance to go as high as eighth, leaving them 14th nearing the half—way mark of the season. also in spain, on monday, brahim diaz completed his move from manchester city to real madrid for around $19 million, and was presented to the media and fans. the teenager said he had three options on deciding to leave city, where he had made only 15 appearances, and they were all real madrid. south korea and iran have underlined their status as two of the favourites in the asian cup. both won their opening group games in the uae, though the koreans were nothing like as convincing as iran. richard mcelvanney reports. they had come within minutes of reaching the knockout stages of the world cup last year so an opening group game against asian cup debbie jevans yemen will hold no fears for iran. it didn't take them long to

make their mark either. following up after a fumble here. if the goalkeeper should have done better for the first, there wasn't much he could do about the second — off the post, off his head and into the net. the game was as good as over when teremi got his second and iran's third after 25 minutes. two more in the second half meant it finished 5-0 the second half meant it finished 5—0 and marks to run as serious contenders. we scored some beautiful goals in the first half and in the second half and we are proud of the team. the first game is always hard, but we showed that we are a strong team. south korea had also impression in russia but not so far in the united arab emirates. the tea m in the united arab emirates. the team struggled against the philippines', managed by sven—goran eriksson, but they forced a good save from the keeper. eventually a goal did come and it was the koreans who went in front. this effort was

enough to take all three points, with their one tottenham star killed —— sung min to add the cutting edge. people know his talent, his quality. we know as well the influenced that he has in our way of playing. of course that we need in our style, we need players that, in the last metres create and balance the other teams. in the other group game, china had to come from behind to beat kurdistan — are real howler from the goalkeeper allowing the equaliser. and he didn't do much better for the second — equaliser. and he didn't do much betterfor the second — china finishing the game as 2—1 winners. thailand's newly—appointed head coach sirisak yodyardthai got down to the task of lifting the spirit of the players after they suffered a shock 4—1 defeat at the hands of india in their opening match at the afc asian cup.

serbian milovan rajevac was sacked following the defeat and thailand now face an unenviable task of having to beat bahrain in their next match to keep their hopes of progression in the tournament alive, before taking on hosts united arab emirates in their last group a match. former argentina and barcelona head coach gerardo martino officially took over the mexican national team on monday. he succeeds colombia'sjuan carlos osorio, who's moved to become head coach of paraguay and the 56—year old martino is fresh from claiming the mls cup with atlanta united. he's been given the task of reaching a quarterfinal stage in a world cup after mexico have fallen at the round of 16 at the last seven tournaments on the biggest stage. translation: i don't want to put together an assessment of how to get beyond the fourth game in the world cup. what i want to do is have a

quick assessment of the players that i'm going to be counting on. and to put together a good squad, a squad that really plays well. that assessment, once complete, will get us assessment, once complete, will get us closer to the goals that we're allaiming for. world anti—doping agency experts have been given access to a russian lab to take data that could lead to the prosecution of hundreds of drugs cheats. the original deadline of new year's eve was missed. but an anti—doping team will now be allowed into the moscow facility on wednedsay. our sports editor dan roan has been following the story. last year in september, wada decided to reinstate russia. they have had a suspension lasting several years for state—sponsored doping. there was much outcry from athletes in the west and members of the anti—doping community who believe that wada should have remained tough with russia because they hadn't met two outstanding criteria. wada said we are going to let them back in on the strict condition that they had over this lab data that will enable us to

assume cases against potentially hundreds if not thousands of russian cheats by the end of the year. the problem was that russia failed to deliver. they didn't handover that data on new year's eve and therefore there was another outcry from the critics, who said this time russia have to be suspended again. what has happened now is thatjust ten days before wada's compliance panel meet in montreal, the suggestion is that russia had now come back and said, ok, russia had now come back and said, 0k, your expert panel can come back to moscow. we have overcome the problem that prevented us giving you this information before at the end of the year and now we are in a position to hand over this crucial lab data, so wada's president said this could be a very important breakthrough. to cricket, where new zealand are looking to complete a series whitewash over sri lanka in the third one—day international in nelson. sri lanka won the toss and opted to field first with skipper lasith malinga making a couple of early breakthroughs, but black caps skipper kane williamson and ross taylor led a fightback adding 116 for the third wicket. taylor remains at the crease having his his sixth consecutive half—century in odis,

that's bbc.com/sport. but from me, tulsen tollett, and the rest of the sport today team, goodbye. hello there. northern parts of the uk on monday were particularly blustery. winds gusts in excess of 70 miles an hour for some. but i think its eastern areas that will see the strongest weather through the day ahead. the swirl of cloud, this area of low pressure, is responsible for that very windy weather in the north on monday. sliding its way eastwards towards scandinavia, but on its western flank we are still bringing in some strong winds, brisk northerly winds particularly close to those eastern coastal areas. the winds will feed one or two showers in towards the east of the uk at times through the day, but generally speaking, though, we are generally looking at a lot of dry weather. there will be some spells of sunshine, fairly large areas of cloud floating

around as well. it'll be breezy wherever you are, but if you're spending your day close to the east coast of scotland you can expect wind gusts of 40—45mph, one or two showers drifting through as well. down the east coast of england, wind gusts the same but may be close to 50 miles an hour for some spots around the east anglian coastline. and combine those strong winds with high tides, well, there is the risk of some coastal flooding. temperature between six and nine degrees, but when you factor in the strength of the wind, it will probably feel a bit colder than that. through tuesday night. it stays pretty breezy in eastern areas as we go through tuesday night. still the potential of a couple of showers here. out west, where the wind is lighter and the sky is clear, parts of western scotland and northern england, maybe down into the midlands, we could see a touch of frost, but i think many places will start wednesday morning just above freezing. so, during wednesday it will still be breezy, not quite as windy as it will have been on tuesday, and that wind still feeding some showers in across some eastern parts of england.

we also see cloud thickening for northern ireland and western scotland, a bit of patchy rain here late in the day. in between, some spells of sunshine, those temperatures struggling a little bit — five to seven or eight degrees. but it is set to turn milder as we head towards the end of the week. high pressure builds its way back in, and we start to bring the winds back in from the atlantic. so it is, from the north—west, going to turn a little bit milder. holding onto some chilly air across the south—east on thursday. some places could start off with a touch of frost but i think that is where we will see the best of the sunshine through the day. also, north—east england and eastern scotland will see in some sunshine, generally a lot of cloud, maybe the odd spot of drizzle, but towards the west, things start to turn milder. through friday into the weekend, all of us will get into that milder air. there will always be a lot of cloud and perhaps some rain at times, especially in the north. welcome to bbc news — broadcasting to viewers in north america and around the globe.
