a grand slam quarter—final, now hopes to go one better a grand slam quarter—final, at the australian open. a country mourns a lost star — kobe bryant is remembered from one side of the usa to the other. and13—time winners arsenal are through to the last 16 of the fa cup after a 2—1 win over bournemouth. hello and welcome to programme, where we start with tennis news. the quarter—finals are under way at the australian open in melbourne. the year's first grand slam has some big matches on court on day 9 and we havejohn watson in place to bring us all the latest. ons jabour struggling, history is going to be made either way. how are things going at the moment. cannon is through against ons jabour. she's

had a brilliant tournament. she's produced unbelievable results, knocking out caroline garcia, caroline wozniacki, and johanna konta, the great british hope the opening round. a great result from sophia kenin. she knocked out the seeded 15—year—old player coco gauffe. she came through in straight sets. ons jabour is the furthest an african player has been in the women's singles. a remarkable story for her but sophia kenin is through, and herfirst for her but sophia kenin is through, and her first grand for her but sophia kenin is through, and herfirst grand slam semifinal. so much look forward to and in the next 20 minutes, an absolute belter. they talk about the barty party. how big is it going to be? it is all

about the barty party. we have seen loads of people storming in here in preparation for that match to come little bit later on. it will not be easy for her against petra kvitova. a two—time grand slam champion. remember ash barty has only won one. it isa remember ash barty has only won one. it is a different story playing in melbourne. ash barty, the home favourite, there's been huge support for her, and she has carried that on his shoulders impressively. she had one warble in the second set, but she is thriving off the support, playing on the main show courts, and that will certainly benefit her, when she takes to the court later. a huge amount of respect between these two. let's hear from huge amount of respect between these two. let's hearfrom ash huge amount of respect between these two. let's hear from ash barty first then petra kvitova, who has a huge amount of respect for the way that she is shouldering expectations. tactically, we've had small adjustments, small changes. it is

never an easy match. all but one of them have gone to three sets. i'm looking forward to another battle against a quality opponent. ash is great. she has such a big pressure on her. like probably no one else. and that is probably why she is aiming to be number one and one day at grand slam. it will be a great match anyway. sharing the court with her, it is always a pleasure, so it doesn't matter what the school will be, but it will be nice. we saw rafa nadal go through against nick kyrgios yesterday. what chance of someone kyrgios yesterday. what chance of someone knocking any of the big three out, djokovic or roger federer? it is looking unlikely. i don't want to write off their respective opponents but such is

their dominance, know that djokovic is up against milos raonic, a former grand slam semifinalist, but when you consider that djokovic has a 9—0 record against him, itjust feels like there is no one really he was going to knock know that djokovic off his stride apart from the likes off his stride apart from the likes of roger federer or rafa nadal. we know how dominant he is on these courts. we saw it last year in the final when he beat rafa nadal. and an interesting test for roger federer against a player ranked 100 on the road. way down the rankings compared to roger federer. we know that roger federer, when tested has to dig deep. we saw that against john millman of australia a couple of matches ago. he looks a lot more co mforta ble, of matches ago. he looks a lot more comfortable, roger federer, he still has the ability to go through the gears and close out a match when he wa nts to, gears and close out a match when he wants to, even at the age of 38, i think you will do that later as we

head towards the semifinals and final, you just knew that novak djokovic has been flying under the radar. we haven't spoken much about his performances at bar that one steady drop in his first game. and when you are not talking about know that djokovic that is when he's at his most dangerous. he is serving very well and you feel that he is peaking at the right time. we will check back in with you to find out what is happening with ash barty up against petra kvitova. thank you very much. new york may be almost 4,500km away from los angeles but the big apple lit up for kobe bryant on monday. the 41 year old former la laker who was killed when the helicopter he was travelling in with his 13— year—old daughter and seven others crashed on sunday was remembered in times square as the country continues to grieve the former five—time nba champion. "the los angeles lakers would like to thank all of you for the tremendous outpouring of support and condolences," the team statement said.

"this is a very difficult time for all of us. we continue to support the bryant family and will share more information as it is available." 13—time winners arsenal are through to the last 16 of the fa cup after a 2—1win at bournemouth and watching was craig templeton. as the youth put their faith in arsenal, arsenal put their faith in youth for the oldest cup competition in the world. it didn't take long for that faith to be repaid, just five minutes in fact. 18—year—old martinelli to 18—year—old saka. commentator: what a goal with real power from bukayo sa ka. "1—0 to the arsenal" was the chant from the fans, but not for long as saka turned provider and eddie nketiah had the easiest of tasks. improvement needed. eddie howe did get that, but a goal in reply was proving elusive.

the second half was more a story of injuries than it was goalmouth action. mustafi appearing to suffer the worst of them. when chances did arrive it was bournemouth creating them. jack simpson with one of the best. then there was another collision, but both sokratis and steve cook were able to continue. all of these stoppages meant an extra eight minutes. sam sturridge took full advantage and gave his side hope with his first bournemouth goal. bournemouth‘s lewis cook at the chance to equalise with the last kick of the game but he blazed over and it is the young gunners who go into the fifth round. yes, very pleased. it is a way is tough to come here and get a win. we have done it with a very young team, as well. so i'm pleased. i have a lot of faith in them. i think they are developing really well. they need senior players around them as well, and guidance, but they are willing and hungry, so they will only get better.

the draw for the 5th round was made before that match and mikel arteta's side will now travel to third—tier portsmouth. wayne rooney may be in line to face former club manchester united if his championship derby side can beat fourth tier northampton town while what could be the tie of the round sees chelsea play the winner of the replay between shrewsbury and liverpool. all eight ties will be played across three midweek nights from the 3rd to 5th of march, with no replays. england have completed a memorable 3—1 series victory against south africa injohannesburg. they won the fourth and final test by 191 runs in what is only their second test win away from home infour years and the first time they've won three matches in south africa for over 100 years. we've had a lot to deal with on and off the field. as a group we stay tight, as a unit, and we showed great courage, for young players to

ta ke great courage, for young players to take opportunities like they have and senior players to provide an environment where they felt co mforta ble environment where they felt comfortable to do that is the sign ofa comfortable to do that is the sign of a growing team and a team that, for me, the sky is the limit. i know that i am sitting here extremely disappointed. the coaching staff is very disappointed. i know that you guys will be disappointed and the fans will be as well. but, every team goes through this. unfortunately we are at the stage where it is happening right now. and i have no doubt that two years from 110w i have no doubt that two years from now we will look back at this moment, that was not the turning point, but this is where it started for us. in the australian open sophia kenin is through to the semifinals, a straight sets win over 0ns jabour. and next up is petra kvitova against the top seed and home favourite, ash barty. that's

all for now, goodbye. hello there. if you are travelling through the first part of the morning, bear in mind wintry weather could cause one or two problems. a combination of snow and ice from wintry showers that have been falling over recent hours, particularly over the north and west of the uk. your bbc local radio station will, of course, keep you up—to—date with travel updates where you are. more of those wintry showers to come, then, through the first part of the day and some more persistent snowfall for some parts of southern and eastern scotland, and not only over the highest hills. through the morning showers continue to pass across the south—west of england, giving a covering of snow over some of the highest ground of dartmoor and bodmin moor, and also for wales, snow mixing in over the hills and mountains with snow over higher ground in northern england, maybe some to lower levels. certainly some icy stretches for

northern ireland and for scotland. through the central belt, for example, there could be a covering of snow at lower levels. 0ver higher ground there could be ten centimetres or more of snow lying by this stage. so it could be tricky out there on some of the roads and pavements. as we go through the day it is a mixture of sunshine and showers. much of the wintriness becoming increasingly confined to higher ground but more like rain, i think, at lower levels through the afternoon. eastern areas not seeing as many showers. there will be some sunshine but it's going to be windy, and it's going to feel cold. your thermometer will read between 4—8 degrees. when we factor in the strength of the wind, particularly brisk across southern areas, this is what it is going to feel like. it will feel like it has barely got above freezing. now, as we go through the night, we will continue to see some showers, especially across northern and western areas. the snow will continue to pile up across higher ground in the north and west of scotland. not as many showers

by the end of the night, down towards the south and east, and overnight lows between 1 and 4 degrees. it is a rather chilly night, and there could be some icy stretches around, again, on wednesday morning. for wednesday, this little bump in the isobars is a ridge of high pressure, trying to settle things down. it will be a drier day for many of us, but this frontal system bringing some outbreaks of rain into scotland. you can see the cloud and rain gathering to the west, sliding its way in, some heavy and persistent rain for the hills in the west and inland over the mountains, yes, some further significant snowfall. further south, much of northern ireland and certainly england and wales should be dry with some sunshine. turning a little bit milder by this stage. that's a process that continues as we head towards the end of the week. with that you will see some outbreaks of rain at times. that's all from me.
