w, but will they stay in formula 1, well lewis hamilton stay with the you're watching team, well the team boss stay? what beyond one hundred days. democrats used to attack trump — this does is another piece of the now they're going after each other. on the eve of the all—important jigsaw at that point in the new hampshire primary, is that a winning strategy? direction that suggests they will all stay together for the foreseeable future. andrew benson finishing that report. stay with us on sportsday. the iowa caucus lots to come, including... was a fiasco, now democrats hope a look at ireland's hockey team — tomorrow's vote will help them six months out from their choose a nominee to take on donald trump. first olympic games. i want some fire and fury. i want we are there to compete, we are not a team just they are to make up the numbers so stay tuned and see what some real good... to attack trump. happens! we've got a bit of an olympic flavour to finish sportsday today. four new cases of coronavirus in the uk. two of them healthworkers. it was a weekend for all of them connected to a ‘super great britain's women that spreader‘ who had returned started with optimism that they could qualify from a business trip to singapore. for an olympics for the first time. also on the programme... one win would likely have done it. irish politics turned on its head, the opening defeat to china was not the ideal start, but the real blow came saturday when they lost to south korea on saturday.

a 79—69 defeat to spain yesterday ended their chances of qualifying. after months and years of toiljust to make it that part following at the final hurdle has left the squad crestfallen. very proud of my team. we fought until the very end but we did not get a ticket. i'm sorry. but i am proudly fought every game, we play ha rd proudly fought every game, we play hard together and we tried and, you know, some people look at us and think we should be here but we are here and we've made a statement for gb basketball and i'm proud of my team. i'm the kind of person who thinks it's an opportunity missed. it's great to be here but i expect great things of myself and i am never satisfied with that. for me it is a missed opportunity and i am super disappointed and frustrated at the end of the day i feel like i give everything i had, i'm exhausted, yeah, we just messed up. an uncertain future

for the squad, then. they lost lottery funding after london 2012 and both mens and women's teams have been scraping by on minimalfunding for the last few years. failing to reach the olympics leaves big question marks for the future. to put these figures into context, cycling receives nearly £30 million from uk sport, rowing receives even more than that, at 30.5 million. basketball sits outside their world class programme as they weren't predicted to win medals in tokyo and have received £830,500 in tokyo funding — 75,000 was just for the women last year to compete in the eurobasket competition — where they finished fourth — pushing them into the qualifiers. the money they get is similar to sports like archery, karate, and climbing. journalist benny bonsu joins us live on sportsday now. benny, just what does the future hold for british basketball do you think?

this is extremely hard, especially for the girls before many —— for many years they've been flying the flag so high for british basketball. every single one of the women on the tea m every single one of the women on the team have worked extremely hard with practically nothing, these girls come out every single time and fight. looking at the statistics with the money they gets and the participation level of basketball in the uk it really does not make sense by uk sport does not fund them. talking of the years of toil, from london 2012 up until now, tellers the ups and downs this team have had. from london 2012 they lost their funding, into the commonwealth and came back with a silver, they go from being 18th to 11th in europe, they go to the semifinals in the

euro basket and then come to qualify for tokyo. these girls are running on nothing. lots of them are representing their country and doing lots to give back to the community, getting involved with the sports england's programme to inspire the next generation. they are doing so much and when it comes to the disappointment it's because of lack of investment that they have within these teams. you look at the men's tea m these teams. you look at the men's team where we had nba players part of the team, look at the women's tea m of the team, look at the women's team you have four who play in the wnba and the rest play in europe. some play in the uk with no money because we don't have a professional league. grassroots participation is so league. grassroots participation is so high so how uk sports decide not to fund these girls is beyond me because they're doing so well. look at the journey they've travelled and yet still no funding, it does not make sense. thank you forjoining us

this evening. from a team mi'ssing out on tokyo to another very much planning for a busy summer injapan. the ireland hockey team stunned the world two years ago by reaching the world cup final as amateurs. zoe wilson is on the squad and she isjuggling preparing for tokyo with training to be a teacher. lydia campbell went to ballyclare high school in northern ireland to meet her and to find outjust what has changed with irish hockey. irish women's hockey is in the midst ofa irish women's hockey is in the midst of a golden age, a silver medal at the world cup in london was followed up the world cup in london was followed up by the world cup in london was followed up by qualification to the olympics in tokyo for the first time in the history of the women's game in ireland. it is there, ireland have done it! we had to shoot out and we were a 3-1 we had to shoot out and we were a 3—1 down, we said, we've got this, and when we won it was just an eruption of tears and happiness and

relief. at just relief. atjust 22, relief. at just 22, zoe relief. atjust 22, zoe wilson already has over 100 senior caps. for most athletes in the build—up to an olympic games training has to go alongside work, for a survey that means spending time at ballyclare high school, where she gained her own education in hockey. she is back training to be a teacher but when she walked these holes as a people the ireland team she looked up people the ireland team she looked up to was not reaching the heights they are now. something has changed within irish hockey but what is it? i suppose when i was younger i was being coached by a male hockey players and ex male hockey players which was brilliant and gave me good insight but as i got older more female role models came on board and i was coached by sherry mccabe. after i finished one of her camps and said to my mum, i want to be a hockey player. funding is hugely important, two

months away from the world cup in 2018 ireland did not have a sponsor, it took just 2018 ireland did not have a sponsor, it tookjust one to come on board to make a big difference. they've been crucial in allowing us to go more semiprofessional is what we're calling it. we are allowed to train for half the week in dublin the other half you can work and coach, is building the sponsors of come on board but we want to get to the point where all we have to think about is hockey. together funding and female role models help bring success to irish hockey and the hope is it can pave the way for more in the future. nobody expected the world cup silver medal last year but going into the olympics after that we are not seen as the underdogs any more, the fact they are on the world's bigger stage puts it into proportion how big it is but also how achievable it is. our generation want to be like them as well and carry on what they've

achieved and just make irish hockey so achieved and just make irish hockey so much bigger and better than what people see it as. the focus for now is on tokyo and what this team can achieve at the olympics. we've made a promise to each other we will have no regrets for the next six months, wejust need we will have no regrets for the next six months, we just need to get on that plane to tokyo and we are there to compete, we will not be making up the numbers. stay tuned and see what happens! it will be good to follow their journey. before we go, our top story this evening, england women butting scotla nd this evening, england women butting scotland 53—0 in their rearranged women's six nations at a snowy murrayfield. that's all we got time for. katie will have more throughout the evening. for all of here, goodbye.

bernie sanders has announced he's making an attempt to get the iowa democratic party to reach candice last week's caucus. these caucuses may turn up to a local school or a house and it physically declared by moving around in the room who they support. the problem is that there was a problem with the celtic last week and the results were delayed several days and when they emerged bernie sanders was around the top with pete buttigieg. —— there was a problem with the counting. a representative said this is the first step but unnecessary part of making sure people can trust the

final result. the background to this is the bernie sanders campaign does not trust the democratic party and believes it campaigned against sanders from winning the nomination four years ago against hillary clinton. there's been an outpouring ofjoy in south korea following the success of parasite at the oscars. south korean television channels interactive programming to announce the result and the president of the country said the result had moved the hearts of people around the world with a unique korean story. this report contains quite a lot of flash photography. director bong joon—ho was not the only one overwhelmed by the scale of parasite's success. as he grappled with his four oscars, including one for best picture, south koreans in seoul could not hide their pride. translation: this kind of thing is a huge national celebration.

i want to thank the director and all the actors and actresses. this is wonderful. parasite tells the story of a poor family living in a squalid basement flat and a rich family who reside in a modernist mansion. and while the film is a work of fiction the apartment life is not. this is just one of thousands who battle unbearable humidity and rapidly growing mould in the city basement flats. i'm sad about it. i heard it can survive in the desert but it can't survive in my house. the pizza place featured in the film is also real. it's been here for 17 years and it was the owner who taught the cast how to fold the boxes. translation: when i saw it won today i got emotional.

it felt like i won. when i heard it won four oscars i thought this was the most historic moment in korea. the closest place i could find that was related to the film was here so i thought it was symbolic to come to this pizza shop. the president of south korea, moonjae—in, started his cabinet meeting with applause, as the country erupted in a wave of congratulatory joy. one south korean film critic described these wins as a miracle, but it's not come from nowhere. for the last decade the south korean government has ploughed money into what it calls the korean wave — k—pop, k—drama and korean cinema. these wins at the oscars prove that that korean wave has come crashing down on hollywood. laura bicker, bbc news, seoul. we will be talking to an oscar winner, one of the make up winners for bombshell about the living pm,

but now a look at that weather prospects. hello. in the afternoon we had heavy showers that drop temperatures .5 celsius injust one hour and the rain turned to snow in north wales and the north midlands but notjust over a fire ground. we also had snow at lower levels. across the northern half of the country there is a risk of icy stretches of the night and there will be further snow showers, especially over modest hills above 100 metres or so. towns and cities arejust 100 metres or so. towns and cities are just about escape the frost but feeling cold given the winds and the greatest chance for the snow on tuesday will be across the hills of northern england, northern ireland and scottish, the scottish hills could see ten centimetres or so. risk of some disruption. similar day tomorrow, strong winds and blustery showers, more showers turning to snow across northern areas because it will be colder. that is your 00:14:00,747 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 latest weather.
