things that you actually rely on like fires and central heating and all of the rest of it. it's extraordinary that we are hit by floods every year, and if you think of the dutch who a lot of them are very low level above the sea, have dealt with this, i can't believe there is not a way that we can't deal with that probably cost a lot of money but i'm sure that's got to be worth it to people's lives, and in the end i imagine a lot of people will be claiming a vast amount of insurance, a lot of people lose their livelihoods for a bit, this is a terrible upturn in your life, i can't imagine anything more horrible, really.— can't imagine anything more horrible, really. can't imagine anything more horrible, reall. �* ~ ., horrible, really. and the metro has not the horrible, really. and the metro has got the image _ horrible, really. and the metro has got the image of— horrible, really. and the metro has got the image of people _ horrible, really. and the metro has got the image of people being - got the image of people being transported away from a care home, but it's come of the devastation and yes it keeps happening as well as eve picked up on it, and we were speaking to someone a little bit

all put things upstairs right now. you think about all the things you actually need and love, and cannot be replaced. quite apart from the fact that all of your machines, washing machines may be on the ground floor, your oven is the ground floor, your oven is the ground floor, your oven is the ground floor, all the think that cost money and without which you will not be able to live in the future. i can imagine a lot of water going in the oven will probably destroy it. i can't imagine anything worse. very interesting that someone mentions the smell, but i've talked to people who have had flooding and they say that's the worst thing in they say that's the worst thing in the last thing to go. whatever you do and what if you put down to whatever you clean it up with. and then be taken to somewhere strange, having to sleep some more strange, and going back. feeling that you look awful and you have none of your things and women we are quite attached to our stuff, i'd wake up i mean your hairand attached to our stuff, i'd wake up i mean your hair and things like that. it's just horrendous. and this

good evening. i'm austin halewood with your latest sports news. we're going to start with football because liverpool's poor run of form in the premier league has continued. they were beaten 1—0 at home to burnley this evening. it's the first time the reds have lost at anfield in the league, in 69 games — that's a run stretching back almost four years. well the match was decided by this moment in the second half. ashley barnes brought down by liverpool goalkeeper alisson for a penalty. and then barnes made no mistake from the spot. that's burnley�*s first win at anfield for 46 years — but a disappointing night for the champions — that's four league games without a goal. a massive punch in the face, or whatever~ — a massive punch in the face, or whatever. of course it's... it's my responsibility. the izzy sex ctinician— responsibility. the izzy sex clinician as we had the ball a lot,

over aston villa last night. and cardiff city have sacked their manager neil harris. after six defeats in a row, they're 15th in the championship table — and only nine points above the bottom three. now the company that tests all 12 premiership rugby clubs for coronavirus — has admitted to an error which meant that players were falsely told they'd tested positive. it even resulted in bath, now needlessly, closing their training ground. 18 out of their 19 positive tests were false. well, the company, "randox" admitted an "operating error" and confirmed there had only been two positive tests out of 989 players and management, at 12 clubs. rory mcilroy says he's felt "as sharp as he's ever felt" coming into any previous season and it showed as he got his year under way in abu dhabi. he leads after the opening round — and having started last year in brilliant form with a—straight top five finishes — he does look well placed to replicate that sort of run again

this year, as he chases that elusive career grand slam. here's sarah mulkerrins. after the fog comes clarity and for rory mcilroy that meant easy to read greetings. he admitted to struggling on the surface here in the past but not today after a fast start with four birdies on his opening nine holes. four times a runner up here, surely at the turn they were wandering the possibilities. a new dawn after seeing through 2020 without knowing, what better way to start buying his elect around in abu dhabi. a bogey free 64 to by one. i knew 65 is the best i shot here. let's try to at least go on better ensure another one on the next nine. i was able to do that and played better on ourfront line and i had some really nice ones coming in for birdies and it was a lovely way to start the year.

he was on his heels, the feisty competitor pretties two eagles and his round of 65 as he looks to cement his place in the top ten. with a delayed start, justin rose will be back early on friday to finish their opening round but there is room for a shot of the day and that on or fail on thursday to match what i submit this at the first. no crowd so no reaction and out came the putter until he was informed it definitely was not needed. european golf may be back but they are still waiting on the findings. england have made one change for the second and final test against sri lanka, which starts early tomorrow morning. james anderson replaces stuart broad who's being rested. the tourists won the first test, but after a woeful start, sri lanka did improve as the game went on.

there's commenatry on five live sport extra, play starts at a50. former british number one laura robson says she's "not sure" where a third hip surgery leaves her tennis career. robson, who turned 27 today, posted this picture on social media saying "for my birthday this year i got crutches". she added that: "following the advice of the surgeon and other doctors, a decision has been made to prioritise the long—term health of my hip." and that's all the sport for now. have a good night. hello there. flooding continues to be of concern but the weather certainly isn't going to make things any worse over the next few days. the current situation — well, the number of flood and severe flood warnings has just started to edged down. so, things are slowly improving for some communities. other rivers though taking longer to respond. for example, the ouse in york. well, that's not going to peak until later in the day on friday.

so, for some, it could still get worse before it gets better. lots of snow around of course. that snow still with us at the moment across the high ground in scotland. still some strong winds and further accumulations. otherwise, it's a cold night with the frost. the showers, there is a risk of icy stretches dotted around the country. so, it will be another cold start to the day as we edge into friday. cold north—westerly winds with us pulling in this chilly air. it will be a day of sunshine and showers for sure, but some of the showers could be quite interesting. one of those particular showers that i've got my beady eye on is this clump of cloud you can see here just west of ireland. that's, i think, likely to push across ireland and then work into wales through the afternoon, and probably into the midlands as we head towards the evening. more about that in a moment. i think broadly speaking though for most of us on friday, it's going to be a fine day with sunshine. again, there will be showers around — wintry at times, a bit of snow makes things still cross the north—west but conditions improving

compared with recent days, i think it's fair to say. then, that clump of showers, well, i think it might go in across parts of wales as we head through the afternoon. could be heavy showers. if they're heavy enough, we might well see some sleet and some snow mixed in with that, and that that clump of showers if it's still there may well edge into parts of the midlands for the evening time. there is a bit of uncertainty about that but that might be something that you see during the day on friday. now, saturday's weather, again it's a showery kind of set up. showers wintry again, most frequent across the north—west but we do have a low pressure system just going in close to the south coast of england. that has rain and snow mixed in with it and it's not far away from south east england. so, we'll have to keep a close eye on developments there — if there are any. for most of the weekend, though, it is just going to be a sunshine and showers kind of set—up. on into saturday evening and night—time though, we've got another trough that's going to be moving in. and that pushes in across england and wales and is more likely to bring a bit of snow even down to low levels. there could be some changes in the position of that feature. but nevertheless, a few of you will

be seeing some snow at some point during the weekend.

this is bbc news and i'm kasia madera, with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. president biden lays out his strategy to tackle coronavirus on his first full day in office, warning it'll require a wartime undertaking to defeat the disease: there are moments in history where more is asked of a particular generation, more is asked of us as americans than other times. we are in that moment now. almost five million britons have now had their first coronavirus vaccination but there's still no date for the uk lockdown being lifted. i think it's too early to say when we'll be able to lift some of the restrictions. and wuhan — where it all started. a year after china's first

coronavirus lockdown — normality has returned.
