10:30 pm
at clevedon's marine lake in north somerset, the dip is proving more popular than ever, attracting regulars, new people and a few onlookers. very, very invigorating, but so good. it's a shock to the system, but so good. it didn't seem as good an idea as it did on christmas day, when i thought it was a good idea! glad i did it, though. the first time we came, it was shocking, wasn't it? but once you get into it and come out, you just feel great. bagpipes in east yorkshire, as close to 200 swimmers continued their tradition of diving into the north sea at hornsea with money raised going to the local in—shore rescue. absolutely fantastic, the weather has been brilliant the crowds have been fantastic. and we have had the best turnout we've had
10:31 pm
for our new year's day swim. further along the east coast, crowds gathered at whitley bay, dressed up and ready to go and despite the dip no longer having an official organiser. the time—honoured tradition continued on the isle of man this morning. in penzance, it was the first new year's day dip at the jubilee pool. fabulous to see so many people down, getting cold, getting rid of the hangover and having a splash and some fun. it's really special, the start of the new year, everyone swimming and enjoying themselves, and let's hope it goes on like this with the pool because it's a fabulous iconic pool. a chance to reboot, shake off the cobwebs and get those endorphins pumping. for many, a new year's day dip is a perfect start to the new decade. we'll be taking an in—depth look at the papers with our reviewers dawn foster from the guardian and katherine forster from the sunday times — that's coming up after sportsday.
10:32 pm
hello i'm olly foster — here's what's coming up on sportsday tonight. the foxes are still on the hunt, but there's no title talk after their big win at newcastle. arsenal win for the first time under mikel arteta, they beat manchester united and are into the top half of the table. and wright on top of the world, snakebite is pdc champion for the first time after beating mighty mike. hello there. the football has been nonstop today. liverpool may have had a breather from their title charge but we had lots of subplots in the nine premier league matches. happy new year for mikel arteta
10:33 pm
and david moyes back in the dugout, lots of missed opportunities too in the race for a top—four finish. adam wild has been keeping across all the results. adam, those top four teams the same as they were at the start of the day. they are. liverpool of course, not in action until tomorrow when they take on sheffield united. so, chance to make up some ground for those around them. chiefly, leicester city. no problems at all for them today. a very convincing 3—0 victory over newcastle united. some terrific goals as well. the first came from ayoze perez, before james maddison scored this absolute cracker for the second. with just a few minutes to go, they got a third, hamza choudhury
10:34 pm
with a lovely finish, almost passing the ball into the top corner. leicester then reducing the gap at the top to ten points, but they have played two games more than liverpool. brendan rodgers insists, the title race isn't in his thoughts. we are not thinking about it, to be honest, i think probably everyone else is thinking about it more than ourselves. we just concentrate on developing our game, increasing our performance level, increasing how we play and the ability to play and improving our game idea. and for that, that's my only focus. so that's brendan rodgers. two of europe's most revered managers were up against each other at the etihad. pep guardiola's manchester city and carlo ancelotti's everton. it was guardiola's side though, that had the edge, 2—1winners. it took until the second half for city to find a way through, two goals in quick succession from gabrieljesus helped them just about keep in touch at the top. they are, this evening, just a point behind leicester — still 11 points behind liverpool.
10:35 pm
richarlison did pull a goal back for everton but not enough. the late game this evening, arsenal taking on manchester united. that one finished in the last hour. it's ended, as you can see there, 2—0, a first victory for mikel arteta as the gunners boss. arsenal took the lead through nicolas pepe. just eight minutes gone when he found the net to open the scoring. they were 2—0 up by half—time, pepe‘s corner eventually falling for sokratis to smash in. manchester united were really very poor. no goals in the second half so that's the way it stayed. arteta clearly delighted with the resulted. with the result. now, just down the road, it's been quite some festive period for this man, david moyes, and he has ended it today in perfect style. back as west ham boss and back with a very impressive victory. he replaced manuel pellegrini this week and his side looked very comfortable as they beat comfortable as they
10:36 pm
beat bournemouth 4—0. two goals from captain mark noble and this terrific goal from sebatian haller. that helps them pull away from the relegation zone. two players in particular were singled out for praise after the match by the new boss. in truth, i've not had any time to work with the players, we have been in a day and a bit, you know, we have not been able to do set pieces, really, just because of the time, but we had a little bit to organise the team and give them an idea of what we wanted, so the credit goes to the players for their attitude, their determination, and nobody epitomised that more than mark noble, and declan rice as well, the two of them were really good today. elsewhere, aanother distinctly average performance from jose mourinho's spurs side as they went down to a 1—0 defeat to southampton. contrast that with the brilliant form of saints striker danny ings. nine goals in the past ten games for him as he continues his brilliant run.
10:37 pm
a really well ta ken goal this afternoon. shades of gazza at euro 96, as he flicks the ball over toby alderweireld. a couple of other lines from that game, harry kane was forced off with a leg injury in the second half, no indication how serious that is. also, a very curious incident where jose mourinho was booked on the touchline, after appearing to approach the southampton dugout. he admits he was rude, but says he had his resaons, have a listen to this. i think the yellow card is fair, because i was rude, but i was rude to an idiot. and for some reason, for some reason i was rude, and because of that i deserved a yellow card. so, new year, new decade, same old combativejose mourinho. one of his former clubs chelsea, they were held to a 1—1 draw
10:38 pm
with brighton today. brighton poor for much of the game but their equaliser is perhaps one of the best goals you'll see today. it came with just seven minutes to go — the iranian alireza jahanbakhsh with a fantastic overhead kick. it looked like he couldn't quite believe what he had just done. so, brighton earning what was really a pretty unlikely point against frank lampard's side. so, there are the results from a very busy day in the premier league today, just a few other games to mention. aston villa are out of the relegation zone after a 2—1 win over burnley. jack grealish setting one up and scoring one there. watford's revival continues — 2—1 they beat wolves, that's ten points from a possible 12 for nigel pearson since he took over. and crystal palace sub connor wickham scored a late equaliser awarded by var to get a draw against norwich.
10:39 pm
it wasn't the only var intervention today but — match of the day on bbc one shortly for the rest. a quick look at the table. liverpool can extend their advantage once again tomorrow. down at the bottom, norwich could really have done with hanging on for that win today. watford, though, their fortune looks to be changing. they have got a good run of form, they have had a fantastic christmas. adam wild, thank you very much indeed. we are going to stay with the football. there was a huge game in the championship, leeds are still top of the table on goal difference from west bromwich albion after a 1—1 draw at the hawthornes. and it was a bittersweet afternoon for west brom's semi ajayi, he scored both goals. he gave the baggies the lead in the second minute of the match after some head—tennis in the leeds box, the ball just crossing the line. and it was ajayi's own—goal after the break that saw leeds come away with a point, he unwittingly deflected patrick bamford's header
10:40 pm
past his own keeper. leeds stay top then, and both sides are nine points clear of brentford and nottingham forest, who are third and fourth. millwall are into the playoffs after beating bottom club luton. they were actually a goal down at half—time but three goals in the space of 12 minutes saw them win 3—1. in the other championship matches, wigan stay in the bottom three despite their win at birmingham. brentford are up to third after a big win at bristol city. they've moved above fulham who lost at home to reading. huge win for stoke, 5—2 at huddersfield. wins for forest, boro and hull and the result of the day 6—1 for qpr at home to cardiff. blowing hot and cold this season. and away from the football. england's cricketers are having a tough time of it on tour in south africa. jofra archer is a doubt for the second test which starts in cape town on friday. the fast bowler bowler has soreness in his right elbow. he was also one of the 11 players
10:41 pm
affected by a sickness bug. that swept through the camp. the rest of the squad trained this morning. archer was there but didn't bowl. he took six wickets in the first test which england lost, so he would be missed. i don't think it changes anything. for me at least. you know, i think, the difference betweenjofra archer, there were bring in mark wood or something who also bowls 145 so it doesn't change much. it depends, we just have to see what happens. but it doesn't change much for you personally at least. peter ‘snakebite' wright has become pdc world darts champion for the first time. he beat the reigning champion michael van gerwen at alexandra palace this evening. it was a very one—sided final. a bit ofa a bit of a surprise really. the dutchman, who was chasing a fourth world title,
10:42 pm
was always on the back foot as wright closed out the match 7-3. the scot lost to van gerwen in the 2014 final but the 49—year—old is finally world champ, and £500,000 richer. well done to him. that's all from sportsday. from the end of the rest of the team, goodbye. —— from me and the rest of the team. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. tonight we have foster and forster with us. with me are the writer and broadcaster dawn foster,
10:43 pm
and sunday times journalist katherine forster. it is like we organise it! i'm very sorry. it is great, i love it, it's like foster and forster investigate. i look a bit drab in contrast. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. the metro goes with protests to be held nationwide as railfare rises come into force that will see some commuters paying more than £100 extra this year. the ft leads with a warning from economists that any bounce to the uk economy following borisjohnson‘s decisive election victory could swiftly fizzle out as uncertainties from brexit continue to curb business investment. the guardian goes with the australian bushfires, saying the devastating fires have prompted new questions on whether the current government in australia has done enough to tackle climate change. the daily express says people in their 60s will deliver more than half of all employment growth in the next ten years. the paper says employers are being urged to end age discrimination against those who still have more to offer.
10:44 pm
the daily mail leads with a warning that the number of teenagers and young children admitted to hospitalfor eating disorders has soared in the past decade, according to new figures. and the times says sales of red meat fell more by value than any other category in supermarkets last year, down by £185 million, as more people move towards a vegan diet. let's begin with the guardian and this extraordinary and devastating photograph on the front. it was taken by matthew abbott from the new york times of this fire in a town. the thing that tells you it is australia is that silhouette of the kangaroo. you just do not know how this country will get on top of this. no, it's the worst fires they have ever had. the sheer volume it cove rs have ever had. the sheer volume it covers is incredible. covering some
10:45 pm
we re covers is incredible. covering some were almost the size of england at the moment. it is absolutely devastating. there are multiple people dead, thousands homeless, and it is so out of control that, for instance, there are lightning strikes that are causing even more fires. because it is tinder dry. australia have had a drought for three years and the fires are so enormous they can be seen thousands of miles away. in the south of new zealand they can see the smoke and the fires have turned the sky orange at this point. and obviously australians are up in arms but the prime ministerjust doesn't seem to be taking it seriously at all. this is scott morrison who keeps saying things like previous generations have had to deal with stuff of this and we will get on top of it. we have to remember australia is still a big exporter of coal. yes, exactly, and there is a lot of money in australia being made through minerals and fossil
