this is bbc news, i'm lukwesa burak. the headlines at 5: lawyers representing president donald trump, set out their defence of the us leader, in his impeachment trial. they're asking you to do something that no senate has ever done and they're asking you to do it with no evidence — and that's wrong, and i ask you to keep that in mind. the death toll from the coronavirus rises to 41, with authorities in china struggling to contain the outbreak, as millions travel for the lunar new year. there are now known cases of the virus in france and australia, and a state of emergency has been declared in hong kong. the search for survivors continues after a powerful earthquake hit turkey —

at least 22 people have been killed and more than 1200 injured. a charity offering mental health support to military veterans it can't take on any new cases due to a funding crisis. south africa end the second day of the fourth test on 88—6, after england posted a commanding total of 400. lawyers representing us president donald trump have begun outlining their defence in his impeachment trial in the us senate in washington. democrats — acting as prosecutors — have accused mr trump of abusing his power and of obstructing congress. in his opening remarks.

..the president's lead defence attorney, pat cipollone, said there was no evidence for the charges. he said the democrats were trying to overturn the result of the last election — and prevent mr trump from standing again later this year. they're asking you, not only to overturn the results of the last election, but, as i've said before, they're asking you to remove president trump from the ballot in an election that's occurring in approximately nine months. they're asking you to tear up all of the ballots across this country, on your own initiative. take that decision away from the american people. and i don't think they spent one minute of their 2a hours talking to you about the consequences of that for our country.

live now to washington and our correspondent chris buckler. the session has been adjourned. what did we see and hear today? just two hours four president trump's defence tea m hours four president trump's defence team to essentially make their case this morning. they will continue on monday and tuesday. they have been allocated up to 24—hour is to basically defend their client and the same amount of time that was given to the prosecution, the prosecution, the democrats. but actually, they have already said they don't think they are going to need it. you got a sense from that clip of what their argument is going to be. they will say that this isn't about the president's conducting office. the democrats are really concerned with the votes that put him there in the first place at the election that is to come in november, when president trump stands for re—election. and, to some

extent, you actually did get this methodical attack on all of the arguments that had been made by the democrats up to this point. it was pretty forensic in detail. we had documents, clips of interviews, it was a forensic legal argument being played out. but at the same time, you also get the impression that they are going to attack the democrats and raise concerns during some of this about potential corruption, essentially put president trump as the good guy in all of this argument. it is worth just reminding people exactly what the allegations against him are. they essentially are accusing president trump of abusing his position of being president by trying to force ukraine into forcing investigations into his political opponent and they said he did that by threatening to withhold vital military aid to the country. 0k, chris, thank you very much. at least 41 people are now known to have died from

the coronavirus in china. the number of confirmed cases has risen to almost 1,400. the virus has spread to europe for the first time, with three cases confirmed in france. there've also been three more people identified as having the virus in australia — bringing the total to 4. in the uk, 31 people have now been tested for coronavirus — all of which were confirmed as negative. 0ur correspondent, stephen mcdonnell, has gone to the chinese province of hubei, where the outbreak began. the authorities are starting to lock down this entire province of nearly 60 million people, where the coronavirus emergency began. hospitals in wuhan have been overwhelmed with the sick. state media has reported that one doctor treating people with the virus has died. military medics have been flown in to help with the crisis, as have specialist doctors from shanghai. but the challenge remains considerable, with the infection rate ever on the increase.

this is hubei province, where this virus emergency started. as you can see, it is pretty quiet, on the first day of the year of the rat. all these shops are closed. there's pretty much nobody on the street here. those who are out on the streets are wearing masks. and you can understand why. people are very worried, and people just don't know for how long it's going to be like this, for how long they have to stay indoors or risk being infected with this potentially deadly coronavirus, which causes pneumonia. the leader of hong kong, carrie lam, has declared the virus an emergency. she held a news conference earlier this morning. translation: the level has been raised to serious. today, i would like to announce that we are going to escalate it

to the topmost level — that is emergency. in other words, when our response level is reached at emergency level, the interdepartmental coordinating committee will be chaired by myself, the chief executive, and we have a command centre, so that we can get the views from the experts and we can come up with the strategies, as well as the initiatives and, then with this public health event, i think you will understand that sometimes we need to be very quick in making decisions. therefore, having it coming under the chief executive, we can then make the decisions for the society of hong kong. that was hong kong's carrie lam. rescue workers in eastern turkey are continuing to search for survivors, after an earthquake killed at least 22 people and left more than 1200 injured. the 6.8 magnitude quake centred on the town of sivrice in elazig

province, which is over 300 miles east of turkey's capital, ankara. footage is emerging showing emergency services frantically searching for survivors, including a woman being recovered from a collapsed building after 17 hours under rubble. officials say about a0 people have been rescued so far, with more than 20 feared to remain trapped. gareth barlow reports. rescuers carry sui’vivoi’s out from the rubble. the 6.8 magnitude quake sent buildings crashing to the ground and residents rushing into the streets. the exact moment the earthquake struck, captured live on turkish tv. amid the inky darkness, among ruined buildings, screams rang out as more than 400 rescue teams rushed to help survivors.

dozens of aftershocks followed the main tremor, which was also felt in neighbouring syria, lebanon and iran. the region, 550 kilometres east of the capital ankara, is remote and sparsely populated so the true extent of the damage and fatalities could be slow to emerge. turkey lies on major fault lines and is prone to frequent earthquakes — around 17,000 people died in a massive quake in 1999. gareth barlow, bbc news. iraqi security forces have fired tear gas to disperse protesters in the centre of baghdad. police moved against the main anti—government protest site, near the capital's tahrir square, removing concrete barriers. several people are reported to have been injured. the violence comes just a day after huge crowds took to the streets of baghdad, to demand the expulsion of us troops from iraq. two people have died

in a house fire in hull, including a young girl. humberside fire and rescue were called to wensley avenue this morning. a man was pronounced dead at the scene, while the child died in hospital. the cause of the fire is unknown. a royal marine who was injured in a training incident, earlier this week, has died. the marine was part of a group that had been practising an assault from a landing craft on tregantle beach in cornwall. the recruit had been wearing full kit — and had "gone under water" — during the exercise on tuesday evening. the royal navy said its "thoughts and sympathies" were with the recruit‘s family and friends. the uk's leading mental health charity for military veterans, combat stress, has said it is unable to deal with new cases, because of cuts in funding. from monday, former service personnel in england and wales will be re—directed to the nhs for treatment.

the nhs said in a statement its "number one priority is providing the best ca re for vetera ns". but veterans‘ minister johnny mercer said he will hold an "urgent meeting" over the charity's problems. 0ur correspondent, chi chi izundu reports. they're known as tough and resilient, but being in the military can be an incredibly stressful job. reports after reports have shown the impact it can have on the mental health of personnel, but now one of the leading charities for veterans‘ mental health is warning, from monday, thanks to funding cuts, it will now have to stop taking on new referrals. combat stress says it receives around 2,000 referrals for treatment every year, but its income has fallen from £16 million to £10 million in this current financial year. very, very reluctantly — i think this is the only time

the organisation has ever considered doing this — we have decided that we need to make sure we can meet the needs of everyone who is currently in our system and we are not going to take referrals in england and wales, where we have the greatest risks of safety, if you like, for the near future. the charity says it still receives more than £1 million from nhs scotland, so can still take referrals from there, but 90% of its income comes from public donations, and with nhs england and nhs wales cutting their funding, they've had to make tough decisions. all new referrals will now be redirected to the nhs, but a number of groups and charities have warned of a spike in the number of veterans taking their own lives. earlier, i spoke to paul smith, a former royal navy engineer who served in the falklands war. he then became a police officer. he didn't get help for ptsd for 30 years after the initial trauma,

which had devastating consequences on him and his family. he told me how he finally got help. when i retired, i had more time to think about what was going on. and i didn't know i was that ill. i didn't realise i was that ill, although my wife says she felt that i needed help. but it wasn't until i'd actually retired that it came to a crescendo, and my wife said "you've got to get help", and she actually took me to my own gp. my wife spoke for me most of the time, because i was in the corner, crying my eyes out. i was a mess. i was then referred by my gp to a local mental health authority, who then referred me to a specialist for ptsd, post—traumatic stress disorder, and he, over a ten week period, diagnosed me with severe

post—traumatic stress disorder from serving in the falklands in 1982, as a 17—year—old boy. i wanted to go to the falklands, i think every boy does. every boy wants to stand up and say "i fought for my country", but it's a whole different ball game when you actually get there, and the fear sets in, and the sights you see. i was then put forward to go to combat stress, and combat stress saved my life. i would be drinking now, i would be lying in a ditch, or i may have committed suicide. now, i'm happy, i've got lots of friends, i help other veterans. my family, i get a chance to show my family that that wasn't the real me, that i actually do care for them, and it wasn't me that was there. i can't turn the clock back.

i can say sorry, but i can't turn the clock back, but now i can affect the future, and combat stress have basically given me my life back. they've been there, they've understood me. the clinicians there are specialists, to dealing with military veterans. the veterans‘ language at times isn't perfect, but the clinicians at combat stress are aware of that. they are also aware of the way that the military act and react. the clinicians there are dealing with people who have been taught to fight, taught to kill, and they, they understand the way a military veteran likes to be spoken to, the way that they like to be treated. but the whole ethos around combat stress is helping, but also having other veterans with you, to go on thatjourney. many people, many members of public are shocked that the military,

ie the government, are not giving that post—service care for their veterans, and it's now a charity that is having to pick up the pieces, quite literally, for lives like yourself. what is your message? well, i have two feelings. i'm angry and i'm disappointed. the military, both men and women, serve this country, and they put their — they are willing to die for this country, and they come back and it's as if the government, all the governments are ignoring them. paul smith talking to me earlier on the programme. the headlines on bbc news... lawyers representing president donald trump, set out their defence of the us leader, in his impeachment trial. the death toll from the coronavirus rises to 41 — with authorities in china struggling to contain the outbreak, as millions travel for the lunar new year. the search for survivors

continues after a powerful earthquake hit turkey — at least 22 people have been killed and more than 1200 injured. last year, nearly seven million of us used buy now pay later companies to help spread the cost of online purchases for clothing and shoes. firms like klarna and clearpay allow people to delay payment, or split the cost over a number of months, but debt charities are warning that people aren't being given enough information about hidden fees. 0ur consumer affairs correspondent colletta smith has more. checking out, but paying nothing. millions of us are now opting to spread the pain of a purchase. some of the biggest online stores now give a choice to delay payment for an extra few weeks — no extra fees, and with next to no checks. unsurprisingly, it's a popular click with shoppers.

so, let's get shopping. i do think this scheme is great, because you could get stuck for money and think, oh, but, i really want this for an event that's coming up, but i know i'm going to get paid at the end of the month, and i've got enough money to stretch. it's making us feel like we're getting more of a deal, and it's bringing them more money. if you're sensible, and you're responsible, and you can keep up with your finances, then why not? we found out that payments through the biggest three companies have nearly doubled over the last year. new zealand firm laybuy have seen a big demand from shops to get the option added to their online checkout. for the retailer, they are seeing an average order value uplift. people are spending more, then, because they can spread the payments? the average order values are significantly higher as a result of paying by laybuy, yes. most of these companies have been operating for a few extra years down under, so the australian regulator has published this big review. and they found that 60% of customers are under 34,

and that some customers can become financially overcommitted because of it. the financial conduct authority here have told me they don't regulate any firms not charging interest, but they are monitoring the markets. debt charities are already concerned customers aren't being given enough information. we want to ensure that the people who are using these products know the terms and conditions they are signing up to. if you don't know when the payment terms are going to kick in, or what charges or fees are going to be associated with it, you can't be making a wise choice. not keeping up with repayments can damage your credit rating, and with customer numbers growing so quickly, it's a problem that could increase. colletta smith, bbc news. trading standards is warning home owners that they could be at risk of losing large amounts of money if they sell their properties using so called "quick sale" estate agents. the organisation says it's seen dozens of examples of people

being exploited and losing tens of thousands of pounds from the market value of their homes. radio 4's money box reporter daniel whitworth has been explaining to my colleague geeta guru—murthy more about what's been happening. they differ from traditional high street estate agents, which normally take much longer to sell your house, four, six, eight weeks, longer, so the big selling point for these quick—sale estate agents is, we will sell it quickly. trading standards is concerned because, if you are a customer, by definition you need a quick sale, you need the money. you might be going through a divorce, your business might have trouble — either way, you need the money from your house. if you are using one of these quick—sale estate agents, trading standards is concerned that some rogue companies might exploit that desperation and might basically hit people for tens of thousands of pounds from their homes. in terms of making them cut the price?

yes, because quick—sale estate agents, like any estate agents, only make their money when you sell your home. if they say, we can lower this by 10,000 or 20,000 or 30,000, they are not bothered about that as long as they get the sale. that's the accusation. the danger is, if you are the homeowner, you don't necessarily want that to happen but, if you are desperate for a sale, you need the money, so you might do things you are not totally behind. is it not obvious, if you need to sell your house quickly, the only way to do that is to cut the price, and that is a calculation you have to make? 100%, and in many cases these quick—sale estate agents provide a service, nothing wrong or illegal about that, and it works for many people. i think trading standards is worried about some of the rogue elements within this part of the estate agent industry. we have spoken to several case studies who have had the offer price of their homes lowered without their permission.

not only is that illegal, that's a potential breach of consumer rights legislation, but it is also... 0ne lady we spoke to, marianne, agreed an offer price for £250,000 for a three—bed semi. the company she used dropped that to 230,000 without her permission. potentially, that is £20,000 and, if somebody looks at the house and says, hold on, it is 230,000, why are you advertising it at 250? have you added double glazing or an extension? why have you increased it back to the normal price of 250? she could have lost £20,000. and it's not herfault. what advice is out there? what are trading standards saying people should be doing? never be rushed into a deal. always go into these things with your eyes open, and, if you can, get independent legal advice. millions around the world will tune in to the grammy awards this sunday. as the recording academy grapples with how to reflect the diversity of the music industry, we turn to the relationship

between race and country music. in 2018, rapper lil nas x released his hit single, old town road. billboard removed the song from its country charts — at first — saying it wasn't "country enough". some critics said race was a factor. we've been to nashville, the heart of country music to find out more. what i love about country music is getting an opportunity to tell your story. the truth is, when you think of country music, you properly don't picture people like jimmy of country music, you properly don't picture people likejimmy allen. of country music, you properly don't picture people like jimmy allenm i'm ina picture people like jimmy allenm i'm in a room of country artists, maybe two or three look like me. i was excited and a little sad to be the first number one in country, just because of the year it is. it's

2020, it was the time and countries stemmed from a black based genre. we are outside the country music hall of fame, and yet only two of the artists featured here are black. those inductees are charlie pride inducted 2000 and george bailey, who was finally inducted into thousand five. while this part of country music history has usually been concealed, now more people are paying attention. country music is itself born in as much african—american history as it is in what we think is sort of white, rural southern history. in a new series, they look at the history and unique roots of country music. leanne is one of the artists featured. she has built her career

working to ensure those roots are not forgotten. the banjo became a well—known plantation instrument. so it was known as a black instrument. how did it get into the white community? in the 1840s and 50s, some entertainers looked at the banjo and thought it was pretty cool banjo and thought it was pretty cool. it was a first cultural american exports. 0ne cool. it was a first cultural american exports. one of the reasons we don't talk about this is because they were doing in blackface as part of the minstrels show. these artists are breaking barriers in country music but the industry still has a long way to go in the area of diversity. for me, it's all about representation. country is the route you want to take, come on in, there's plenty of room for everybody. that was lil nas x there.

today is the first day of the lunar new year, the year of the rat. vincent ni from the bbc chinese service explains what the significance of the lunar new year is, and why is it celebrated on a different date each year. chinese new year is the biggest festival in china and is celebrated in many countries around the world. it is also known as the spring festival or lunar new year because it marks the first new moon in the chinese solar calendar, which is based around the cycles of the moon and the ea rth‘s based around the cycles of the moon and the earth's rotation around the sun. that is why the festival falls ona sun. that is why the festival falls on a different day each year and this year it is on the 25th of january. chinese new year has been celebrated for centuries according to one legend, the festival began when villagers defeated a beast called year. it was said to be afraid of the colour red, bright lights and loud songs, which were used to chase it away. today,

fireworks and music are still central elements of new year celebrations and for many the holiday is also a chance to spend time with your family and friends. with hundreds of millions of people travelling home, chinese new year is thought to be the largest annual human migration in the world. although there is no one standard way to welcome the chinese new year, food is very important. certain ingredients hold special meaning and good wishes for the new year ahead. for example, fish symbolises abundance. noodles represent longevity and dumplings signify wealth. it is also customary to give red envelopes with money to children, family or friends to wish them luck and prosperity. in chinese culture, each year is named after one of 12 zodiac animals which represent different character straits. this year is the year of the rat, associated with wisdom and wit. the rat also marks the beginning of the new 12 year cycle,

which will end with the year of the pig. which will end with the year of the pig, symbolising optimism and fortune in 2031. and that was vincent. now it's time for a look at the weather with ben rich. hello. the first half of the weekend has brought yet more of the cloudy, gloomy weather we've become used to over recent days. having said that, the cloud to break up for a few places to reveal a little bit of sunshine. generally speaking, though, we have been underneath this haze of grey, this layer of low cloud with the odd spot of drizzle. things are, though, about to change because this stripe of bright white cloud on the earlier satellite picture is a frontal system which will bring some outbreaks of rain. you can see that weather front starting to move in during this evening and tonight, getting into western scotland and parts of northern ireland. ahead of that, still large areas of cloud, some mist and murk, the odd drizzly shower here and there. it's going to be becoming increasingly breezy through the night, so not especially cold. most places between 3—7 degrees. so, for tomorrow, it's all about this frontal system. it is a cold front. it's going to bring some outbreaks

of rain but as the name suggests, behind it, it will introduce some colder air. so, here comes our band of rain, staggering eastwards as we go through tomorrow. ahead of that, perhaps a little bit of brightness and certainly east anglia and the south—east will stay dry until mid—afternoon. behind our rain band, the skies become significantly brighter. we see some sunshine but we will also see some showers, wintry over fairly modest hills in scotland because it's going to be, yes, windy but also an increasingly cold day. those temperatures actually coming down through the day across parts of western scotland and northern ireland. stilljust holding on to double digits towards the south and the east. now, as we go through sunday night, we are keeping a close eye on this, a band of showers marching in from the west through northern ireland, northern england and scotland. these showers could give some snow, even to relatively low levels. not necessarily anything too widespread but in some places snow and ice could cause some problems for the monday morning commute. so, that's one worth bearing in mind. through the day on monday, essentially it's a sunshine

and showers day. the showers most plentiful in the west, still wintry up towards the north. some more persistent rain perhaps scooting through the english channel, where it will also be windy. quite a windy day generally, actually, on monday and those temperatures a little bit lower. four degrees in aberdeen, maybe up to eight or nine in cardiff and in london. as we look further ahead, we stick with that chilly sunshine and showers theme on tuesday. a drier day for wednesday. it turns milder but more unsettled for the end of the week.

hello, this is bbc news. the headlines: lawyers representing president donald trump set out their defence of the us leader, in his impeachment trial. the death toll from the coronavirus rises to 41 —

with authorities in china struggling to contain the outbreak, as millions travel for the lunar new year. there are now known cases of the virus in france and australia — and a state of emergency has been declared in hong kong. the search for survivors continues after a powerful earthquake hit turkey — at least 22 people have been killed and more than 1,200 injured. dev patel and hugh laurie star in a reimagining of a classic dickens tale. find out what mark kermode thinks of the personal history of david copperfield and the rest of the week's tops and cinema releases in the film with you. sport, and for a full round—up from the bbc sport centre, here's our reporter. good afternoon. ben stokes has been fined 15% of his match fee and given a demerit

point after swearing at a spectator during england's fourth test against south africa. but it's not affected england's performance — at stumps on day two, south africa are 88—6 and trail by 312 in the final test. patrick geary reports. test cricket is a delicate balancing act, it is important to remember where you are in the wider picture, while keeping your mind clear. 0llie pope has that rare clarity. this is only his sixth test but already he seems to be on top of things. he mopped up the bowling, and this was getting away from south africa fast. then a fightback. thus pope went, then route. sam karen came a cropper. things were starting to swing. this latter batted the attack all around the pitch, but... watch

them go, enjoy the show! england ended up on 400, surely the series beyond south africa now. english batting has not inspired too much confidence of late and a often bowl quicker. the others toppled behind him, these are the shots of beaten men and tired minds. six south africans came and went, three of them to work. england's tour must surely finish on a high. west ham are out of the fa cup after a poor performance against championship side west brom. conor townsend scored early on to send his side through to the fifth round. west ham put up little resistance even when the baggies went down to ten men with shemi ajayi being sent off with 18 minutes remaining. well, i think we had a lot of opportunities there. i think

sometimes you can see that slightly differently, but i think we were in a good position to make it happen. we didn't, and west brom were better. we were better in the second half, but we couldn't quite manufacture a good opportunity, a good cross, a good through pass, so we have to give west brom credit for that. there was no fairy tale for brentford as they played their last ever fa cup game at griffin park before they move to a new stadium in the summer. leicester took the lead just four minutes in against the championship side through kelechi iheanacho. and that goal turned out to be the only difference between the two sides as brendan rodger‘s team secured their place in monday's fifth round draw. it turned out very well, good intent in the game. played with nice control, that fast. had a few chances. i thought it there is 20 or 25 minutes we were very good, and then we just weren't looser in our

passes and didn't have enough precision on the field. else we could have scored more goals. a late goalfor southampton means they'll have a replay against tottenham. sofiane boufal‘s strike in the 87th minute saw the match finish 1—1 at st mary's after son heung—min had put tottenham ahead. here's the day's other results and norwich came out on top in the all—premier league tie — they beat burnley 2—1. it was goalless as the landlords coventry took on their tenants birmingham. sheffield united won 2—nil at millwall. 2—0 at millwall. newcastle were held to a goalless draw at st james's park by league one 0xford. portsmouth beat barnsley 4—2; while reading and cardiff will have to do it all over again. hull city against chelsea is just getting under way. it was a five goal thriller in the women's manchester derby, with city the victors and through to the fifth round of the fa cup. a double from lioness ellen white helped her side to a 3—2 victory, but united were unhappy at a goal

that wasn't, as rhia chohan reports. in the season's third manchester derby, both rivals marched in with a win apiece, but this tie would decide who would be ousted out of the fa cup. it was a first half of m ista kes the fa cup. it was a first half of mistakes and some prove more costly than others. of all players to get it to, ellen white! you can't beat gifting goals like that he won at the top goal—scorers in the league,. ellen white looking for a second! united needed their substitute to make an impact and 18—year—old laurenjames make an impact and 18—year—old lauren james smashed this make an impact and 18—year—old laurenjames smashed this then, unexpectedly shaking up the momentum. and after a scramble in the box, the reds fought they would equalise before it was disallowed as not over the line. and of course, there is no goal like technology to help us out. perhaps time for the ar

in the women's game. at the moment proved pivotal, as they went on to extend their lead just minutes later and the reds continued to put on the pressure, the corners posing problems again. even the own goal that followed didn't get that united the result. it wasn't a celebration from city though, with the coach not failed. we let them back into it at 2-0. i not failed. we let them back into it at 2—0. i thought we played well, some big performances from some big players and we go on to arsenal now. united shows promise, but the game just didn't go their way. their hopes will have to wait to next season. four games in the scottish premiership today. a brace from 0dsonne edouard helped celtic beat ross county 3—0; six goals in the match between hamilton accies and livingston saw livingston climb

to fifth in the table; 0—0 draw between motherwell and hibs,' and stjohnstone beat kilmarnock 2—1. enigmatic australian nick kyrgios has set up a fourth round meeting with rafa nadal at the australian open after an epic five setter this morning in melbourne. with news on their matches and a host of seeds falling in the women's draw — here'sjohn watson. it is never straightforward with nick kyrgios. always one to put on a show, and he certainly did that to the crowds who stayed behind to see him reach the last 16 at this yea r‘s australian open. he took the first two sets against karen khachanov of russia but dropped the next two, as the match went to a fifth and deciding set. settled on a tie—break once again, which nick kyrgios came out on top of and, with each win here at melbourne park, he further endears himself to the australian public, with whom he hasn't always had the easiest relationship. he goes on to face rafa nadal in the last 16, a fascinating match—up.

it's always been something of a frosty relationship between the pair. rafa nadal coming through his match against pablo carreno busta in straight sets. a warning to nick kyrgios, rafa nadal says that is the best match he's played so far in this year's tournament. three of the top five seeds also went out today — karolina pliskova, the second seed was one of them. she was beaten by anastasia pavlyuchenkova. garbine muguruza progresses at the expense of elina svitolina, and belinda bencic, the number six seed, is also out. it was a day of upsets in the women's draw, just as we saw upsets yesterday in the shape of naomi 0saka and serena williams going out, as the 15—year—old coco gauff marches on. as things open up in the women's draw, you perhaps get the feeling that the winds of change are blowing through melbourne park this year. in rugby union's premiership, bristol came out on top in the west country derby against gloucester.

a superb second half display at ashton gate from bristol, after a try—less first half for both sides, secured theirfirst premiership win since november. elsewhere today, tom homer scored both of bath's tries as they edged past leicester 13 points to ten. sale sharks climbed to third in the premiership after surviving a late fightback to beat leaders exeter22—19,' while wasps hung on to claim a narrow 30—26 bonus—point victory over northampton at sixways. football is far too dependant on money from gambling sponsorships, that's according to the sports minister, nigel adams. his warning comes amid mounting scrutiny of the close relationship between the sport and the industry after a deal was struck for some fa cup games to be shown exclusively on betting websites. here's our sports editor, dan roan. the last round of the fa cup was overshadowed by an outcry over a deal that meant some matches were only shown live on bookmakers‘ websites. there‘s since been a climb—down,

but the controversy has reignited concern at how much betting companies use football to advertise. and having committed to reviewing gambling laws, the government says it now wants to see change. there is way too much dependency within football on gambling, for the sponsorship. that‘s plain to see. we have to look at this very, very carefully because problem gambling, you know, addictive gambling leads to serious social problems. and i am sure the football authorities are aware of that but they do need to look at different sources of income. meanwhile, the government has announced the paralympics have been added to the crown jewels list of protected sports events that must be shown on free to air television coverage. it‘s absolutely essential that the paralympics have parity with the olympics. and if you look at the viewing figures over the years at successive games and how interested people are in the paralympic games, it‘s absolutely worth ensuring we level up.

sports like para table tennis have enjoyed free to air coverage of the paralympics on channel 4 since london 2012, but terrestrial tv coverage is now guaranteed. my family are so supportive, family and friends are very supportive and a lot of them are coming out to tokyo. but in the future if they can't, if someone can't afford it or something, it's really nice knowing that they'll actually still be able to watch me back at home. this is the first change to the listed events in 20 years and there may be more to come. the government also now considering adding women‘s events like the world cup and the fa cup final in a sign of their growing popularity. dan roan, bbc news. england are playing jamaica in the netball nations cup. at half—time at the copper box in london, jamaica have an eight goal lead, it‘s 39—31. the winner plays new zealand in tomorrow‘s final.

that‘s all the sport for now, coming up next it‘s the film review. hello and a very warm welcome to the film review on bbc news. to take us through this week‘s cinema releases is, as ever, mark kermode. good to see you, mark, what have you been watching? interesting week. we have the personal history of david copperfield, which is a new interpretation by armando iannucci. we have no fathers in kashmir, which is an ambitious political drama. and the horror franchise is back in the grudge. oh, good. yes, i know. let‘s talk about david copperfield. 0k, fine, so, this is a new adaptation by armando iannucci, which is kind of notable for two reasons, one, for playing up the comedic elements and for finding the kind the modernists, surreal, absurdist comedic

elements in the source. and also for its brilliantly inclusive colourblind ensemble cast. at the centre of it all, we have dev patel as copperfield, who recounts his story from a stage. we see him at the very beginning of the film, he comes on stage and he says "i‘m going to recount my life story." it and then he turns around and walks back into a backdrop, and through it and into his own life story. strides across the field, arrives at the place of his own birth to witness his own birth, we then see his childhood, his nightmarish time in the bottle factory, his adventure with his friends, and, inevitably, his love for dora. here‘s a clip. he's apologising, jip, shall we forgive him? he says we shall. thank you, jip. in deeper voice: think nothing of it, sir. he speaks very well. it was actually me. i like to pretend he speaks. some people think it idiotic. oh, no, i do it myself, all the time. don't i, mr...

..apple tree? in deeper voice: yes, yes. i'm david copperfield. are you still being the tree? no. i'm dora...spenlow. spenlow, dora spenlow? yes. i don't know why i said it like that, dora. ..spenlow. i don't usually stop in the middle. trotwood, mr spenlow! sorry. yes. deeper voice: bye-bye! sorry? what was that? just jip. deeper voice: bye-bye, tree. appletree. ok, you laughed all the way through that. i laughed a lot during this film, actually. i think it has an extraordinary cast, i mean they cast benedict wong, nikki amuka—bird, rosalind eleazar, tilda swinton, hugh laurie, ben wishaw is the most brilliant incarnation. we arrived with that kind of pudding bowl haircut.

what i love about the film is this, firstly, i think it‘s really vibrant, i mean it‘s a really vibrant piece of film—making. it sets up this theatrical motif at the beginning, and all the way through the film, there are these kind of theatrical scene changes, when they will be in one scene, and the backdrop will literally fall away like a tarp falling, which kind of reinforces the idea of a theatrical presentation. it also has, for me, a touch of the terry gilliams about it. there are childhood memories in which you see some fantastical things, like a hand breaking through the ceiling, as memory and fantasy gives way to reality. it deals with all the really tough stuff, like that time in the bottle factory, but the film is always full of life and colour and motion and emotion, and i think it... i mean, i laughed, i‘ve seen this twice now, and i laughed all the way through, but it wasn‘t just laughter because it‘s like a, it‘s a surface adaptation, it‘s laughter because the film is so empathetic. it draws you into this absolutely beautiful broad canvas of characters. not a foot wrong, in terms of the performances, some really great comic moments,

but at the centre of it, dev patel, who i think has some of the pathos of charlie chaplin. i thought he was astonishing, actually. he‘s wonderful, isn‘t he? absolutely wonderful. he is such a versatile actor, he‘s such a brilliant performer. he has his sort of slapstick moments in it, but he has that central thing that, like chaplain, you love his like chaplin, you love his character for all the foibles and all the failings, and you want him to succeed. and you have to love the character to follow the character through this kind of labyrinthine journey. i think that i loved it more, you had some reservations... i think you love it more than me, but that‘s not to say i didn‘t enjoy it, and the colours have really stayed with me. oh, yeah. i mean, really beautiful, and i loved dev patel. i‘m not always a fan of films that just are one famous person after another, i find that sometimes as unimaginative casting, but some of this is superb. i thought hugh laurie was extrodinary! absolutely brilliant, i also thought that although there are a lot of famous names, there were a lot of lesser known names, i mean this is casting

from stage and screen, and there was not one performance in which i thought, that they are the right person for the role." yes, yes, good point. i mean, tilda swinton is a huge name, but she is brilliantly cast as betsy trotwood. she‘s really, really funny. and hugh laurie as mr dick, you completely believe in his character and his obsession with the beheading of the king, i loved it. already one of my favourites of the year. go and see it. i think we would both say that. go and see it. talk us through your second choice. so, no fathers in kashmir, which is an ambitious drama written and directed by ashvin kumar, who was oscar—nominated for a short he made in 2004. nominated in 2005 called little terrors. so zara webb is noor, she is a british kashmir teenager from birmingham, she goes to meet her grandparents in a country that she‘s never been to before. 0nce she‘s there, she befriends majid, who‘s played by shivan raina, and they both discover that their fathers were friends. she always thought, noor always thought that her father had abandoned the home, but it turns out that both their fathers seem to be part of the disappeared. they are people who have been taken

away by the authorities and their fate is unknown. now, the interesting thing about the film is this, it is essentially two separate films intertwined. one of them is a coming of age story, and i think advantage is that , it manages that stuff really brilliantly. i mean, i love a good coming—of—age movie, and i think this has great performances from the two young leads. the other side of it is a much more advertently political drama, which, for me, works less well because it involves a level of dramatic contrivance that i didn‘t buy into. that said, it‘s made for a very restricted budgets, and with an awful lot of, you know, passion by everyone involved. so i think that even the parts that failed, it‘ss worth celebrating the part of it that works, and for me, the part of that that works is the relationship between the two young characters, who i said i think were terrifically well played by zara webb and shivan raina. and because we‘ve had the joy of david copperfield, you had to bring me something to offset that. how many of the grudge films have you seen?

is that a joke question? here‘s the thing, in a way, they‘re all kind of the same. so, short version, there was original versions, j horrorfilms, two straight to videos, than a theatrical release, then a us remake, which spawned two sequels, the third of which, no, the second of which went back to video. everyone had thought this had all gone. no, now it‘s back. this is described not as a sequel but as a side—quel. a side—quel. what, what? is this a thing? that‘s the word they‘re using. apparently it‘s a thing. essentially, story starts where it was before. brings the horror over to america, a whole bunch of creepy stuff going on, all of which appears to be tied to a particular house. here‘s a clip. i see. the lenders, the real estate agents, that thing injapan — they're connected. i'm telling you, you've got to trust me. i get it. i do. i wish i knew how to help you. just take some time off. spend some time with the girls. and then maybe it'll stop.

it's never going to stop. never. let's get out of here. come on. so this is directed by nicolas pesce, who directed eyes of my mother and piercing. both of which were really, really interesting, creepy, strange, inventive films. this is none of those. this is absolutely a return to that mechanical form of horror movie making, in which it goes quiet, quiet, quiet, bang! quiet, quiet, bang! and the visuals are dark, dark, scary face! dark, dark, scary face! that‘s it, it‘s just like all the way through. and you go, are we going to get a cameo? you‘ve got some fine actors, andrea riseborough, you have interesting performances. yes, she is great, what is she doing in this? she is reacting to the fact that every couple of seconds somebody is boo! 0r somebody... and you just think, oh, come on, seriously? this is like kids

entertainment level. this director is a very fine director, unfortunately, this has none of his best traits. 0k, best out, i‘m afraid i didn‘t like this one. i know. i didn‘t like this one, i know i‘m in the minority. this is the last week i‘m going to fly the flag for it. because i‘m just going to use this opportunity to say i think the fact that adam sandler didn‘t get nominated for best performance for his role in uncut gems is really terrible, because i think whether you like the film or not. no, he is very good, i will give you that. he is very, very good. he is better than very good. he‘s astonishing. and, you know, this and his other serious film are the two things that demonstrate that in that strange, you know, comedic exterior, there is a really interesting acting for us struggling to get out. but it is a difficult film. so, let‘s move onto a dvd of the week, because i think we both love it. we both love it, yes! so this is bait, which is the markjenkin and film. it is a really, really only authentic detail of tensions in a cornish fishing village, in which there are in comers who are trying to turn it into a tourist house. it is directed by markjenkins

who shot the whole film on black—and—white film, without sound, post sink afterwards, hand processed in his studio. it is, i think, one of the most remarkable films of the last decade. it‘s been nominated for a couple of baftas for best british film. yes, yes. which, let‘s just say it now, it should win. no question, just forget it, it should win that. he is also nominated, i think, for best debut. i just loved it. i absolutely loved it. you are a fan, right? clever, unusual, inventive. you think, "this is going to be a bit weird." then it completely sucks you in and, again, the visuals, i still remember the visuals. absolutely. and i saw it quite a long time ago. absolutely, and there‘s a film coming out called the lighthouse, which you should see this on a double bill with the lighthouse, because that... the robert pattinson...? with robert pattinson, that is coming up very, very soon, and these two, somehow, they kind of, they weirdly mirror each other in a very strange way, but what a time to be alive when a film like bait is being made this year. it‘s terrific. great stuff, thank you very much. really interesting, a mixed bag for the week, but an interesting one. do go see david copperfield thank. you so much for being with us, enjoy your cinema going, see you next time, bye—bye.

hello. the first half of the weekend has brought yet more of the cloudy, gloomy weather we‘ve become used to over recent days. having said that, the cloud to break up for a few places to reveal a little bit of sunshine. generally speaking, though, we have been underneath this haze of grey, this layer of low cloud with the odd spot of drizzle. things are, though, about to change because this stripe of bright white cloud on the earlier satellite picture is a frontal system which will bring some outbreaks of rain. you can see that weather front starting to move in during this evening and tonight, getting into western scotland and parts of northern ireland. ahead of that, still large areas of cloud, some mist and murk, the odd drizzly shower here and there. it‘s going to be becoming increasingly breezy through the night, so not especially cold. most places between 3—7 degrees. so, for tomorrow, it‘s all about this frontal system. it is a cold front. it‘s going to bring some outbreaks of rain but as the name suggests, behind it, it will introduce some colder air. so, here comes our band of rain, staggering eastwards

as we go through tomorrow. ahead of that, perhaps a little bit of brightness and certainly east anglia and the south—east will stay dry until mid—afternoon. behind our rain band, the skies become significantly brighter. we see some sunshine but we will also see some showers, wintry over fairly modest hills in scotland because it‘s going to be, yes, windy but also an increasingly cold day. those temperatures actually coming down through the day across parts of western scotland and northern ireland. stilljust holding on to double digits towards the south and the east. now, as we go through sunday night, we are keeping a close eye on this, a band of showers marching in from the west through northern ireland, northern england and scotland. these showers could give some snow, even to relatively low levels. not necessarily anything too widespread but in some places snow and ice could cause some problems for the monday morning commute. so, that‘s one worth bearing in mind. through the day on monday, essentially it‘s a sunshine and showers day. the showers most plentiful in the west, still wintry up towards the north. some more persistent rain perhaps scooting

through the english channel, where it will also be windy. quite a windy day generally, actually, on monday and those temperatures a little bit lower. four degrees in aberdeen, maybe up to eight or nine in cardiff and in london. as we look further ahead, we stick with that chilly sunshine and showers theme on tuesday. a drier day for wednesday. it turns milder but more unsettled for the end of the week.

this is bbc news, i‘m lukwesa burak. the headlines at 6: donald trump‘s lawyers have begun their defence of the president in his impeachment trial in the senate — they say he‘s done nothing wrong. they‘re asking you to do something that no senate has ever done and they‘re asking you to do it with no evidence — and that‘s wrong, and i ask you to keep that in mind. the death toll from the coronavirus rises to 41 — with authorities in china struggling to contain the outbreak, as millions travel for the lunar new year. there are now known cases of the virus in france and australia, and a state of emergency has been declared in hong kong. the search for survivors continues after a powerful
