hello and welcome to sportsday. plenty on the way for you. we start with england in sri lanka, where they're still in contention after day two of the second test. six wickets from james anderson and an unbeaten half century from captainjoe root means england trail by 283 runs, after they finished the day 98—2 in galle. joe wilson reports. another day, another year, and who's grinning? well, england without anderson is still unthinkable. he wasn't sure about this wicket — nobody was. it took a review and replays before the spikes seemed to reveal the faint sound of bat on ball, the batsman trudging away. the next up was building his score for sri lanka.

——best score. england's spin bowlers failed to take a single wicket, send for you—know—who. the batsman on 92, caught by leach. five wickets for anderson and what a way to make it six. anderson once more outstanding. but sri lanka were still going. by the time they had finished their fun, the total was 381, that is solid batting. the match perspective now depended on england's response. lbw, sibley gone for none. crikey, now crawley. easy for the sri lanka spinner. batting demands concentration, improvisation — joe root showed how. choose when to attack. jonny bairstow was capable. england are starting to put pressure back on sri lanka, still 283 behind, but two yorkshiremen are showing nerve. well, anderson just continues to impress for england.

his superb spell in getting sri lanka out saw him achieve his 30th five—wicket haul in test matches. he's feeling confident that england can deliver with the bat on day three. it was a really good effort to keep them under 400 and we know now we have to bat big, we have to bat a long time to try and win this game, but that's what you have to do. we got off to a decent start with the bat, just need a couple of guys to go big. eight ties in the fa cup fourth round today — in the first one of the day, holders arsenal were knocked out after a 1—0 defeat at southampton. it's the first time they've beaten the gunners in an fa cup game in their history. a first—half own goal by gabriel all that separated the two sides at st mary's. craig templeton reports. premier league opponents once again for the holders. arsenal's third—round win against newcastle was a replay of the 1998 final. this trip to st mary's mirrored their win

coming up next, it's click. hey, welcome. hope you're you doing 0k, and, wow, what a momentous week in world politics this has been. whether or not you're in the united states, what's happened there will affect us all. i, joseph robinette bidenjr, do solemnly swear... lara lewington: joe biden's become the 46th president. of the united states. lots about the last few weeks has broken with convention and almost broken

democracy in the process. it reminded everyone just how fragile democratic systems are, even at the heart of the free world. and at the grand finale of this election, the spotlight is now firmly on big tech and their practices, having shown the world the havoc, the mistruths and conspiracy theories that fake news can bring. let's begin to listen to one another again, show respect to one another. and we must reject the culture in which facts themselves are manipulated and even manufactured. applause as president biden takes office, many, including the tech giants themselves, know that change is inevitable. but how much and what that change is going to be is still unclear.

james clayton has been investigating what may be in store for them in the era of biden. here's a striking thing about many who broke into the capitol hill complex. take it back! let's go! armed with phones, many live—streamed their actions or took selfies showing off their entry into the inner sanctum of american democracy — theatre designed for social media. big tech�*s role in what happened onjanuary 6th cannot be underplayed. sure, donald trump used social media to stoke up the mob. sure, smaller players like parler and gab egged on the crowd. but conspiracy theories and extremism on mainstream social media is how many people wound up here. many companies, like twitter, for years have been protected by a tiny piece of legislation known as section 230. section 230 was written in the mid �*90s. it's been instrumental in the development of many of the services we know and love.

the internet really wouldn't be the same without it. it's the reason we can upload any video we like on youtube or post freely on places like facebook and twitter. here's the crucial sentence. "no provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider." or, in other words, big tech can't get sued for what you and me do on their platforms. january 6 was a watershed moment, notjust for the us, but for big tech, too — the likes of twitter and facebook — because it now seems likely, if not inevitable, that section 230 is going to be replaced. the case of ashli babbitt is why many politicians now feel it's time to act. she was shot and killed as she broke into the capitol complex — a wild thing to do with a tragic outcome.

but what had driven her to do such a thing?
