laura muir proves she's ready to win more medals as she breaks the national indoor record for the mile in birmingham and we'll meet the sprinter who's determined to compete at next year's olympics just two years after a serious motorbike accident. we start with football newport county's dream run in the fa cup is over, beaten 4—1 by manchester city tonight. it was good while it lasted... having defeated leicester and middlesbrough in previous rounds, manager mike flynn said it would be the biggest upset in cup history if they could pull off the unthinkable. and as patrick gearey reports there were moments when you thought they mightjust do it. a bare pitch in a bear pit, newport isa a bare pitch in a bear pit, newport is a long way off the beaten track

for manchester city, this is the fa cup at its purest. dragging millionaires into the mud, and then hurling things at them. not subtle, but sensational. this is the momentary reek moment, brutally snatched from him by edison in manchester city. his colleagues weren't moving as well as struggling fire them on a pitch by hosting by, fire them on a pitch by hosting rugby, unfortunately in this game you get nothing. the city got nothing for the first half, but minutes into the second half, he adjusted his aim. the new particle became famous when his wife gave birth to twins during the last round. unfortunately, he missed this delivery too. there is no shame in conceding to the city team after all chelsea did it six times last weekend, that threats are everywhere. this is the right back, and this is fail, they are great young english help, a goal that seems to suck the suspense from the south allows air, but newport don't go away that hazy. hammond scored in

every round of the cup, but that's on the stand out. newport had done many of what england's best sides have not managed. and scored a goal against mighty manchester city. of course they go get another of their own, city is third, finally settled the question. they added the! for the question. they added the! for the next 4—1 city. patrick airy, bbc news. certainly great while it lasted, a fantastic cup for newport. afc wimbledon are a club who've been through it all — former winners of the fa cup before the club split — their cup run this year was ended by millwall at kingsmeadow. murray wallace with an early goal that put them through to the quarterfinals. leaving them one win away from a spot at wembley in the semi—finals. john pakey reports after seeing off premier league west ham in the last i see windows and fa ncy ham in the last i see windows and fancy the chance to grab more wins in the fa cup. they were ahead of

the tie aside millwall. the last goal in the master round meant he lost a bet and had to die his beard and the club colours. ligue one hosts, and it proved to be a frustrating mess, as the championship side took the lead. he was unmarked as he headed the visitors ahead. wimbledon were not ready to let their opponents walk away though. they shall bear up for away though. they shall bear up for a battle and kept piling on the pressure. it was more of the same as the second half started, this time andy asking questions of the m illwa ll andy asking questions of the millwall defence. well the spirit was there, the chances were lacking. their hopes for a penalty in this case were ruled out for offsides. it was millwall who made a late around to try and steal the win, but gregory stopped just before he can apply the finish. roads to the back at wimbledon in the match, but they couldn't find a chance they needed to force the game to extra time. the journey is over for to force the game to extra time. the journey is overfor them, to force the game to extra time. the journey is over for them, but for millwall, the quarterfinals awaits.

john pa key, pakey, bbc news. while not heartfelt compline, ugly at times, good quality at times, if we would've gotten another second we would've got three or four today. went wimbledon made it very tough for us. all the cliches. perhaps mentality today as well as physical battle, i thought today my boys showed a real great character. the columnist they showed at times, we could've been better with the ball definitely, but they were all about getting through that next round, and for us to be there for the second time in three years, that's a great achievement for us. you know, the boys have been tremendous. today can only congratulate them on their performance and be disappointed for them that you know, that we let ourselves down on the set play. it's an encouragement that they can take into the next league game, which is tuesday. so there's a quick turnaround, let's hope we can keep the momentum going of the performance. brighton are in the draw for the quarterfinals after they beat championship side

derby county 2—1 at the amex stadium. they might be struggling in the premier league but brighton went ahead in the first half thanks to a great finish from anthony knockhaert. they were two up by the break when yves' bissouma's shot was followed up byjurgen locadia, but derby got back into it thanks to a familiar name...38 —year—old ashley cole heading in his first goal in england since 2012. brighton held off the fightback though and are into the last eight. it's a year when of course a lot of the premier league teams are out of the premier league teams are out of the competition, and i think probably the likes of ourselves and others that are still in there, you know, have that opportunity to progress one step further, and i think ultimately, it's you know, it's generally a premier league, a top six team that wins it. it opens the door a little bit more this season. we have had a nice run, and to

really good games against southhampton, difficult but interesting game against southhampton, and today we've shown ourselves in the second half. it sets us up quite nicely now for the lead. the cops are down, we've had a decent run, we have to keep reproducing that form in the league to push a promotion. no major upsets in effect round today then, will he see some tomorrow? this is the full list of fixtures to come. three more matches on sunday. don castor taking on crystal palace in swansea against bra nford on crystal palace in swansea against branford at four o'clock. manchester united making the trip to stamford bridge to face chelsea on monday. that match is live on bbc one. let's look at that championship, there has been a lot of switching units. norwich city have gone top of the championship after a comprehensive 4—0 win at second from bottom bolton. teemu pooki scored twice in the win that puts norwich clear. they're two points ahead of sheffield united who also won

4—0, and leeds who have a game in hand. they are in third place. elsewhere west brom won 2—0 at aston villa — they remain fourth, while the other matches ended in draws rangers missed out on the chance to narrow the gap between themselves and celtic at the top of the premier league down to three points. rangers had to settle for a 0—0 draw at home to stjohnstone. that means celtic could go 8 points clear with a win at kilmarnock tomorrow. third place aberdeen were also held at home by st mirren.. elsewhere there were wins for hibernian and dundee. the funeral of emiliano sala, the argentinian footballer killed in a plane crash in the channel, is taking place in his home town of progreso, with cardiff manager neil warnock in attendance. sala had just signed for the club when his plane went missing. a wake was held at the club he played for as a youth — where he was described as a celebrity. his body was repatriated on friday after a privately funded search found the wreckage of the flight.

he was my player you know? the feelings i had, i chased him, i wa nted feelings i had, i chased him, i wanted him, and he said to me i will get you the goals that keep you up in the premier league, and i said i know you well. yes, neil making the trip for that funeral to argentina. non league altrincham town showed their support for the lgbt community by wearing rainbow shirts in their league game against bradford park avenue this afternoon. the club claims to be the first senior side to do so as they showed their support for the ongoing initiative against homophobia in football which has previously seen players wearing rainbow laces. jo currie was with the club before kick off. the football club is looking a little more colourful than usual this afternoon. it was a scene also reflected in the changing room. within the specially designed one off at rainbow shirts taking the

place of the teams usual kits, and place of the teams usual kits, and place of the buffer against homophobia. the club seen it go viral. alan i canjust shows how much work we've got to do, something being done at this level and our club, it's resonated around the round. the club has sold over 250 shirts with proceeds going to charity. and they've gone down well with fans. i'm part of the lgbt community, i'm bisexual, and i've come to games at my cell partner for years, so come to games at my cell partner for years, so homophobia still exists in football. anything we can do to stand out as a great idea. grey grey and football especially it's one of those subjects that's not approached much, so i think it's really great to support it. they believe they are senior football club and you're in the world to have a macro two based on the lgbt flag, they help us move a macro two based on the lgbt flag, they help us move will help encourage other teams to promote the football against homophobia message. this may only be one small gesture by one club, but it raised a bigger eye deck ideology. at the ball is

world record, which has been here since 1997. it was an incredible performance. i'm not sure he even knew when he did it what he'd actually done. 33104, actually 20 yea rs actually done. 33104, actually 20 years ago, i was sitting right there and watched a world record be broken. it's lovely to be back, but arguably, the performance of the day was laura and her british record. now next she's got a british record. this might have been one of the past, on her own solo runs. superb form. she's in the form of her life, and will now head to the european doors with two gold medals inside. it's a great record today. and that european championships is the first of third right here on the bbc. we will stay with athletics for the moment, because the interest may have come a little too soon for james ellington as he continues his recovery after a near career ending accident two years ago. injuries suffered in the motorbike crash left the 33—year—old fearing the worst. but he's been through an incredible recovery and says he has no doubt he'll be on the start line at the tokyo olympics next year.

have to say that's very impressive. it's worth having another look i think, because he's trying really ha rd think, because he's trying really hard for this. he's put in some serious mileage away from the track. he's trying to get his time as low as possible. i think he got a dead reception from the cloud as well. it's worth pointing out that not the best start, but look how much he accelerates into the line. at the end. he is still going, isn't he? it's the distance between them, you have no idea do you how good a professional athletes are until you see them. well done make top staff, type style. that is that from us, we are off to do a bit of training ourselves, we will see you next time, that's all for my son's birthday. that by. —— goodbye. hello if you are hoping present saturday sunshine, there wasn't as much of that on offer compared with the past couple of

days. some about had unbroken blue sky. this was at the view from wheelchair, not just sky. this was at the view from wheelchair, notjust cloudy, but misty and murky. more encouraging, spring like that stuff from derbyshire, we will get to see some sunshine at some stage of our sunday, but there is also a chance of rain, because there is a weather system that will be moving to the uk. we look at the big picture in the atlantic, this area of low pressure has that's ribbon of cloud around it, it's got rained with that. that's going to be moving eastward through our sunday. in northern ireland and western scotland, you are closing after that to be in the clouds already. seeing patchy rain here and there, that ta ps patchy rain here and there, that taps up later in the night, the wind will start to strengthen too was not elsewhere we have got cloud, it will clear away, and called overnight, some of us are starting sunday and double figures. the cloudiness and rain around belfast, let's take a look at these at nine o'clock in the money. blue skies to start the day, there is a hint of rain moving into western areas of england and wales. it's a very narrow line of that. mel
