that's all from me. now on bbc one it's time for the news where you are. have a very good night.

hello, you're watching bbc news. the time is 10.30. here's what's coming up on sportsday tonight. it's an fa cup knockout for klopp's liverpool. chelsea are through to the quarterfinals. let the games begin...on time. the ioc president says it's business as usual for the tokyo olympics despite the coronavirus fears. and as the virus continues impact sport across the world, we go inside the hotel where four elite cycling teams have been quarantined.

people are starting to lose their minds now. i saw some people throwing some bags around the core door, not from our team but some of the guests. there also unfortunately caught up in this mess at the moment. good evening. two weeks ago, liverpool were all conquering the best team in europe, invincible. the league title will surely come but they have lost 3 matches in their last 4 and tonight they were knocked out of the fa cup. chelsea winning 2—nil to reach the quarterfinals. nick parrott reports. the last time these two met in the fa cup was the final eight years ago. chelsea triumphed on that

occasion and a repeat would keep alive their hopes this season. liverpool's focus is on the league. juergen koppel runs the cages from the cup. —— jurgen juergen koppel runs the cages from the cup. ——jurgen klopp. he would have been pleased until recently until the 13th minute chelsea were sloppy in the black two —— back to. the world's most expensive goalkeeper was saving everything liverpool could throw at him. and another one! and another one! his effo rts another one! and another one! his efforts weren't the only spectacular ones of the evening. ross barkley had extra motivation against liverpool. the former midfielder left the reds trailing in his wake as he powered chelsea into the quarterfinals. it could and should have been more, but after he and

mudd deemed himself by —— redeemed himself. for a second match in a row, liverpool couldn't offer anything in response. just their congratulations to a chelsea side who will be dreaming of wimbley. nick parent, bbc news. —— nick favourite. -- nick favourite. what they're doing in the league is incredible. for us to put in there the effort, the focus, the determination, the quality that we put into the game was something special. a lot of parts of the performance i really like, but the result overall and we respect that. we know we have to respond improve but we know is not destiny. it's all about us and we

have to take it in the right way. newcastle are through to the quarters for the first time in 11! years, they beat the championship leaders west bromwich albion 3—2. miguel almiron opened the scoring just after the half—hour mark with a really well taken goal. he made it twojust before the break afterjoe linton found him with a brilliant back—heel. valentino lazzaro added a third before the baggies staged a late comeback. this from kenneth zohore made it 3—2 in stoppage time, but it's newcastle who go through. we're in the quarterfinal for the first time in years and a big well done to the support for thousands to come. for a good hour anyway, we enjoyed ourselves, but we wouldn't be new counsel if we didn't do something that. —— newcastle. for a good hour or so, i something that. —— newcastle. for a good hour orso, iwas something that. —— newcastle. for a good hour or so, i was very pleased. it looked as though it would be an easy night for sheffield united at reading. they scored after a couple

of minutes through david mcgoldrick, his first goal in 11 months. but the championship side equalised in the second half, george puscas with a penalty just before the break. no replays at this stage so extra time it was, and substitute billy sharp headed the winner, 2—1 the final score. there was a huge win for hearts in the scottish premiership, they are off the bottom of the tabel after a 3—1 win in the edinburgh derby against hibs. it was goaless at halftime but a penalty and then this beatty but a penalty and then this beauty from oliver bozanic saw hearts go two up. conor washington added a third inside the last 10 minutes before hibs pulled one back. hearts beat rangers over the weekend and this is the first time they've had back—to—back wins since daniel stendel took over as manager three months ago. let's take a look at some of the other stories

making the headlines. england have been drawn against iceland, denmark and belgium in the nations league this autumn. wales are in with the republic of ireland, bulgaria and finland. scotland have drawn israel, slovakia and czech republic. northern ireland will play austria, romania and norway. dillian whyte will face alexander povetkin, in manchester on may 2nd. whyte is the mandatory challenger for tyson fury‘s wbc heavweight title, but defends his interim belt. and england prop mako vunipola is likely to miss the rest of the six nations championship. he's in self—isolation as a coronavirus precaution after returning to the uk via hong kong, although he has displayed no symptoms. the virus continues to have a huge impact on sport across the world, but the ioc president thomas bach says it's business as usual for the olympics in tokyo and that all the competitors should prepare for the scheduled start ofjuly 24th. he was speaking at an executive committee meeting in

switzerland on tuesday. 12 people have died injapan with almost a thousand cases of the virus identified. japan's olympics minister acknowledged today that the terms of their contract would allow for a postponement until later in the year. let's get more on this story from our sports editor, dan roan in lausanne. such as the cost with billions of pounds being spent by the japanese authorities and the scale of the olympics. around 11,000 competitors are taking place, as well as the fa ct are taking place, as well as the fact that we are in a very crowded supporting calendar. the ramifications of a delay to tokyo 2020 are almost impossible to imagine. they are colossal. i think that's why perhaps today here at the ioc headquarters they seem so relu cta nt to ioc headquarters they seem so reluctant to even contemplate that possibility. president thomas bock himself gave an unscheduled statement this afternoon in which he

made clear they were committed to games as scheduled. —— thomas bach. he is known for being a man who can be defined that time and hard to waiver, and he very much wanted to get that across today. in truth, he been bounced into that to a certain extent by the comments of the japanese olympics minister earlier in the day who said that under the contract that tokyo's authorities have with the ioc, it is possible for those going to be delayed by several months towards the end of this year if required. bach didn't ta ke this year if required. bach didn't take any questions today so we couldn't learned what the potential plan b might be. or how late they could make a decision. a senior ioc member did say a decision can be left until as late as the end of

may. but i think it gives you an insight into the difficulty that the ioc's insight into the difficulty that the ioc‘s leadership faces given the scale of the event that they are in charge of. well, let's hear from an athlete who is in quarantine at the moment remember cycling's uae tour was cancelled last week because of two cases of coronavirus. six more people have been diagnosed today. four teams have been unable to leave their abu dhabi hotel. cofidis rider nathan haas has been speaking to my colleague gavin ra mjaun. you know as a professional athlete, you're always kind of a type a person to kinda go out there with plans to keep working out and keep moving. being locked in a small room overlooking a formula 1 track everything will day, it feels like a little bit of a mental test to say the least. it's quite a weird situation because we're all sharing the same buffet rooms and shared

spaces during these first three days of coin team, so if there was any further doubt —— days of quarantine. it's safe to say the organisation has left 500 people slip away. what's the information that you're getting from authorities there. what are they telling you is yellow u nfortu nately, are they telling you is yellow unfortunately, it's very poor. we've been hearing more from the media at oui’ been hearing more from the media at our own embassies from anyone at the hotel here. what are you doing to keep yourself fit, i've seen you said that you're missing training time. what are you doing in your room to keep the fitness levels of? you might have seen my video. i've taken that up a notch now. it's part of life. you always have to make the best of any situation you have and as an athlete, you only have the environment that you're in. i've been able to adopt a good work—out

plan, but it can only be strength were. i'm doing a lot better than others. i seem to be keeping quite calm. there is a general public on this floor who have started to lose their minds. the group of people at risk have sorta been roped into the situation as well which is terrible luck for them. we all had secondary test done and they all came out negative which is quite strange because we were under the assumption that as soon as the test would come back negative, we would all be out to leave. we been here up for a few days since those tests have come back. it's not the hotel, it is not the race organisation, it'sjust back. it's not the hotel, it is not the race organisation, it's just the government. at the moment, we seem

to be the victims of whatever the kind of bureaucratic system that they're trying to perform is. reminder of our top stories, liverpool knocked out of the f fa cup. newcastle also winning in the fa cup. that's it from sort say. —— sportsday. coming up next on bbc news, the papers. bye— bye. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are madeline grant from the telegraph and sonia sodha from the observer.

many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. the guardian goes with the coronavirus, reporting government contingency plans to pull police officers off investigations in order to deal with the epidemic. the times says patients may need to be seen by video to free up doctors time to deal with the virus the financial times focuses of the economic cost of the crisis, leading with the emergency rate cut by the us federal reserve the metro has a picture of the queen wearing white gloves while presenting a medal as a precaution against spreading the illness. the mail carries the same picture and says that people may have to put their social and work lives on hold for three months as a result of the outbreak. the i also reports on the government's plans, saying that in a worst case senario there could be half a million extra deaths in the uk and the mirror says the crown prosecution service deaths in the uk. and the mirror says the crown prosecution service is reviewing its decision to pursue a prosecution against caroline flack. let's take a look at some of those stories in more detail.

let's kick off with the mail. sonia, this picture of the queen, which has been pretty popular on the papers and their headline life on hold for three months. the picture of the queen, she's giving honours at buckingham palace and apparently it's the first time she's ever worn gloves to do this. she wears gloves a lot, doesn't she? usually not indoors i suppose. i guess it's sort ofa indoors i suppose. i guess it's sort of a striking image of how it's affecting —— coronavirus doesn't affecting —— coronavirus doesn't affect everyone. we saw in iran where we saw the deputy health minister fall where we saw the deputy health ministerfall ill. no one is com pletely ministerfall ill. no one is completely immune to it. it shows that even the queen is taking public health measures, so it perhaps it set a good example for the rest of us. the key story really on the front of the mail and a lot of the papers tonight is about the government's action plan. there's been a lot of criticism of the prime minister in recent days
