more cloud for wales, western—most parts of england lifting temperatures, the midlands, eastern england seeing some sunshine. but there will be that fog in the morning. one or two patches may linger into the afternoon, making it feel particularly cold. but even when the sunshine comes out, certainly could be about 3 or 4 degrees. could make double figures, though, in northern ireland and the far west of scotland. this is bbc news. the headlines. the chair of the conservative party nadim zahawi has confirmed that he made a payment to the tax

office to settle a disagreement about his tax affairs. it's understood the dispute over mr zahawi's taxes was resolved while he was serving as chancellor of the exchequer. president zelensky says he'll keep asking western allies to send modern tanks to ukraine, after a meeting of more than 50 countries ended without agreement. hundreds of people have been protesting for the right to wild camp in dartmoor national park in the uk. last week the uk's high court ruled that the permission of landowners was required before camping on dartmoor. (00v)millions of people around the world are preparing for the start of the lunar new year. now on bbc news its time for sportsday. hello and welcome to sportsday —

i'm hugh ferris. our headlines this evening. more boos and second from bottom. everton lose again. with their owner and board in the stands to see the protests. at the minute we are in a tough time it upsets everyone at the club and everyone is to try and stick together and move forward. mid table. and mediocre. dsepite the debut of mudryk. liverpool and chelsea's 0—0 draw doesn't help either team. goals not a problem for celtic. they hit five to reach the scottish cup fifth round. also coming up in the programme. he's played enough tennis for a whole tournament. but andy murray's australian open is over in the first week. and a 350th appearance marked with a try and a win. and danny care's harlequins have their first victory in more than a month.

hello again. the day's premier league storylines focused mostly on those teamswho have fallen below expecations so far this season to an unusually mid table meeting at anfield in a moment. but first to a game billed as a possible last chance saloon for the two managers between west ham and everton. and it's frank lampard who's feeling the intensified heat afterjarrod bowen scored both goals for west ham for a 2—0 win at the london stadium. david moyes�* side climb out of the relegation zone. leaving everton. and their disgruntled fans. second from bottom of the table. i think they are realists as they have watch the team and they have watch

the history and grew up on the history. i also am aware of it and nothing keeps you in this league with the right to do anything. we have seen huge football clubs go down come back up and stay in the league and is all but the moment and how you move forward as a club and if you do not do that then you will come into tough times in the minute we are in a tough time it upsets everyone at the club. and everyone has to try and secure and move forward. it was a difficult day for me because obviously i'm keen that everton it away from their position, i had a great time at everton and today was a hard game for me to do that. i want to say we needed a win, west ham it was desperate for us but behind all feelings for frank it for everton. the everton owner farhad moshiri was at the london stadium to watch his team play for the first time in m months. he and the rest of the club's board are the main target of the fans�* displeasure. and the directors who missed last week's home defeat to southampton because of what everton said

was a �*real and credible�* threat to their safety were all there to see the continuing protests. it's not often that a game between liverpool and chelsea starts with the teams languishing in mid table. but with one league win between them since the turn of the year. both teams were desperate for points to boost their champoins league push. but as dan ogunshakin reports. neither left anfield satisfied on that count. it came down to the numbers at anfield. 1,000 games forjurgen klopp. chelsea flush with 178 million pounds of new signage injanuary into team starting the day at ninth and tenth desperate for three points in the race for the top four.

two minutes in and chelsea fall behind in frustrated with the first half konate took six matters into his own hands for all 45 yards. sensing a liverpool surge chelsea call for mudryk and the £62 milliion man almost made an impact. a similar story for the subs but the number 66 was unable to find the route to goal. 0—0 at finish with no real help to either side. so the points shared. and so too perhaps a sense of relief from both managers. given how damaging a defeat might have been. let me say like this if all 1000 had been like today i'm not sure i would have reached the 1000 but now it is special and i was happy with parts of the game. solid in the first half. i thought the second half

was especially good and we have an extend these periods that is the planet what we have to do and that's what we are working on. happy with the overall performance, it is never easy coming here it is a huge challenge but i think we played well. better side first half. i agree they came out and started the second half better and had a couple of big chances in the second—half but overall it is a good point for us, wanted to end but we take the point and move forward. the premier league's early game finished 0—0 as did the late game. newcastle have gone back up to third with their point against crystal palace at selhurst park. that was due in part to this sensational save from nick pope in the second half denying jean—philippe mateta and ensuring that the magpies kept a 12th clean sheet in the premier league this season. southampton remain bottom of the premier league after losing 1—0 to aston villa at st mary's villa's good form under unai emery has continued. they've now won five out

of their seven league games under the new boss. 0llie watkins scored the game's only goal after southampton had two goals ruled out by the officials. the first because of offside. and the second after a foul in the build up to james ward prowse�*s goal. we had the best chance of the game with armstrong we scored a goal that was overturned. and if we just defend better, but defensively we were good, we change to make sure we could be aggressive and we were. just really frustrated. i felt we just definitely should learned something from the game. bournemouth complete the bottom three after conceding an equaliser to nottingham forest with five minutes of normal time left. sam surridge�*s goal against his former club cancelled out jaidon anthony's opener in the first half. a point takes steve cooper's side to 13th in the table.

and brighton salvaged a point at leicester with an even later equaliser. teenager evan ferguson scored in the 88th minute to give them a 2—2 draw at the king power which takes them up to sixth. with a game in hand on both the team above and below them. we have been singing for a long time it is frightening so especially at this level, but what we had was a real spurt today and a mentality and i think the reporters love that so in terms of that aspect, we put a marker down for the rest the season and that is what we have to do in terms of our fight. some tottenham fans have been protesting against owners enic. and chairman daniel levy. outside the club's training ground. a group of spurs supporters gathered to show their displeasure with the club's hierarchy. which they claim don't invest enough into the club. haven't backed managers. and are dismayed at the lack of communication with fans.

they say the new stadium and high season ticket prices aren't benefitting the club. just the owners. when you look at this it is now a business that has taken away our identity and history and he is ripping us off with the high season ticket prices, highest merchandise, everything is just all about the business. have a skywalk, skyscraper, cinema, enough is enough. the man is a businessman, a good one, but football is in identity and we need and i with our club and we do not have one. pack your bags and go thank you for the stadium, it the training ground they are architectural masterpieces but i want that to be on the pitch. football has change not and there is a lot of money in it. get someone in

that will spend it. celtic are through to the last 16 of the scottish cup with a comfortable 5—0 win over second—tier morton. both kyogo furuhashi and aaron mooy scored twice. mooy started and finished the rout. as celtic attempt to win the trophy for the first time since 2020. i thought we were really professional and started our principles and worked really hard which sometimes gets powers like this you fall into the trap of, you don't have to work hard but i think we worked hard the whole game and _ scored good goals.

rangers are also through to the next round of the scottish cup.. they beat stjohnstone 1—0 at mcdiarmid park, fashion sikala hit the post and then borja barisic scored this, which was the only goal. it was frantic last 10 minutes but michael beale�*s side held on to go through. that's nine games unbeaten for the new boss. in the other fixtures, three games went to extra time and then penalties.. with hamilton. partick thistle and st mirren all winning after the shootout. kilmarnock needed a late goal to beat league two dumbarton... while stirling univeristy of the lowland league lost at dundee united. mancheser city missed the chance to move level on points with the two teams above them in the women's super league after a 1—1 draw with aston villa. deyna castellanos gave city the lead in the first half as they chase a champions league spot. but a player on loan from manchester united. kirsty hanson. got the equaliser just two minutes later as villa moved up a place to fifth in the table. andy murray's australian open. dramatic while it lasted. has come to an end. he couldn't repeat the comebacks from his first two rounds. as he lost in four sets to roberto bautista—agut in melbourne. joe lynskey was watching.

cheering he spent 1a hours on court in three extraordinary matches but for andy murray, the bravest stand has come to an end. roberto bautista agut was one opponent too far, the spaniard breezed through the first set and won it 6—1. the frustration was familiar. murray lost to him here four years ago, the last match before his metal hip, yet still he goes on. commentator: got it! and the melbourne night brings the best from him. his second round match went past aam, now here he had a breakthrough. 1—1, but it had come at a cost — murray was tiring, bautista agut was brutal — he found the gaps on the way to the third set and although murray threatened, this match had slipped away. fourth set brought match point. commentator: that will do it. roberto bautista—agut goes on but for it andy murray history ends. i gave everything i had to this event.

bautista agut goes on but for murray this time no tears. with metal hip and iron resolve, this week has proved at grand slams he'll be back. joe lynskey, bbc news. so murray has had plenty of emotional exits in melbourne before. but not this time. instead he says this australian open showed he still has the ability. at 35 years old and with a new hip. to be relevant in grand slams. obviously you never know exactly when the and is going to be but i would like to go out playing tennis like this, competing with the best players in the world and the biggest events and doing myselfjustice. and there may be times in the last year or so where it did not feel like i was playing well and i was not enjoying the way that i was playing. the sacrifices and that effort that i put in allowed me to get through those matches and play at a high level that i think was entertaining for the people watching and, i felt good about the way that

i was playing was more enjoyable for me when i'm playing like that, when i am coming into a major event and believing that i can do some damage. but yeah. i could have a deeper run, there is no question about that. there are no more british players in the singles draw... as dan evans was also knocked out... in straight sets by fifth seed andrey rublev. evans had won half of their previous encounters, but the russian hit 60 winners to win in just over two hours... with evans admitting he would have liked his game to have a bit more power. rublev will face danish ninth seed holger rune for a place in the quarterfinals. nine—time champion novak djokovic has reached the last 16. where he's battling with his own fitness as much as his opponents. a straight sets win over

grigor dimitrov required the serb to survive more hamstring problems. djokovic won the opening set with a tie—break but needed a medical timeout on the injury he's been carrying. he was in visible pain throughout the third set... but despite that he still managed to impress, winning the match 7—6, 6—3, 6—4. he'll next face the australian 22nd seed alex de minaur... as he hopes to win a record—equalling 22nd grand slam title. you're watching sportsday. here are some of our other headlines. juventus manager massimiliano allegri has urged his team to "do their duty" on the pitch after they were given a 15 points deduction, following an investigation into the club's past transfer dealings. the club will appeal the decision which drops them down from third to 10th in the table. they play atalanta in serie a tomorrow. shane lowry is in a three way tie for the lead at the abu dhabi championship ahead of the final day tomorrow. this eagle on the sixth. one of the harder holes on the course. helping him move towards the top

has this is the 350th appearance for the harlequin. this already reaching the final 16th had a strong score in open the scorning. their lead lasted all of four minutes before the special date was marked again. it did not take long for him to make his mark. once again they did not relinquish their lead and merely cross for the club before half—time and england coach will have been happy with marcus smith's second appearance since recovering from a ankle injury — the fly half contributing more than a third of the points in the victory. that result meant that gloucester needed to win. their positive start was not replicating the score liners despite being able to qualify for an early lead. it is been showed why he has been

called up to the england squad saw them to win 26—17. high tackles have been in the headlines with the r a few ——rfu banning them above the waist. they cannot change the rules at the elite level although this tackle will continue the debate. the northampton player was sent off but in their hopes of a with the french club a man down exter one insecurity home tie in the stages. scarlets maintained their 100% record in this season's challenge cup. the welsh region beat french side bayonne 20 points to 17. that secures top spot in their pool

but rarely do they get as personal as this one. chris eubankjunior and liam smith had to apologise for their part in an ugly press conference this week ahead of their middleweight contest in manchester. with eubank the subject of homophobic insults and smith on the receiving end of taunts about social class. many, even before the fight begins. have said it was a week that boxing crossed a line. he disrespected and hurt and alienated a whole group of people. and that is unacceptable, we do not want that in boxing. this is a huge fight for me. there is a lot on the line, a lot at stake. and now it is a personal

affair, it's notjust business. i think i will go in there and assert my dominance and take this guy out. not one homophobic word has come out of my mouth and people who think it is i can only apologise but homophobic nothing has come out of my mouth. i regret the way the situation is played out things that i said the things that do not have should have been but important for my career going forward that we fight and become a big moment for both of them - and when you settle these things you have to go out and prove it. it is not easy for. anyone i think the first round will bei very tight and how chris eubank junior goes about_ them could determine - the middle and late rounds. i have chris eubankjunior as a favourite, i think the best chris eubankjunior beats the best liam smith. i think size will be the defining factor. i think he is too big and too many attributes to stack up in chris

eubankjunior�*s favour. i think eubank might stop him late. the winner will be the boxer with a big fight mentality in the ability to lift themselves above everything in all the time today, nationalism, foul language. if the boxers can lift themselves above that and control his head and heart he might very well be the winner. ijust fancy chris eubankjunior but i do think that what we have seen in this manchester will have an effect on the fight. it's pretty rare to find a more dominant woman in motorsport than emma bristow. who is the 8 time world motor trials champion. despite growing up in the famously flat county of lincolnshire. she and her motorbike., now takes on mountainous challenges all over the globe. mike bushell went to see emma in training just outside barcelona. defying gravity wherever she goes,

stuck between a rock and a hard place in an uphill battle for that is never a barrierfor emma bristow who is defining what is possible on a motorbike. these are the skills that have made her a global superstar in a sport of motorcycle trials already and eight time world champion. yeah, pretty incredible. the first one was probably the hardest but then it is carrying on every year because you are never satisfied with that one, it was always, let's go for another one. it is unlike any other motorsport as it is not about speed instead it is the skill balance and technique to overcome any obstacle that is thrown at you and cross the most hostile terrain. putting your feet down or crashing will cost you penalty points. the winner is the writer who can hold their nerve and complete multiple laps of the course with the least amount of points. there have been times where i would have been

scared, jumping off of a cliff face and you don't want to look left because there is a really big drop but that is all part of competition and just feeling out what with the bike. ——at one with the bike. i do put hard work in and there is a lot of training. dark nights in the garage that people do not see. you have to put the hours in, the dedication the sacrifices. emma started out riding on the family farm when she was litter bully little. vast difference to the rocky terrain of barcelona. going up rock faces many climbers would be worried about living alone doing it on a 300 cc motorbike. with all of that power in your hands. advising emma on those angles and lines to take is her tea minder who is there if she falls off as well and it helps that james is also her husband.

that's how we met. it is nice that we have created a life around what started as a hobby and is now her career. she is a trailblazer in the sport and one of few that is now a full—time rider. the new season starts next week with an indoor competition in spain then it is to the great outdoors again and another chance to relish the rocky road ahead. that's all from sportsday. thanks for your company could for now. hello there. it's been cold again today across england and wales,

even if you did have the sunshine. some areas, though, it's been a real struggle with this mist and fog — across parts of northern england, east wales, the west midlands and the west country. towards the north—west of the uk, things are looking very different. we're getting atlantic air and a lot of cloud coming in, bringing in some milder conditions. still going to be quite windy for scotland and northern ireland into the night. some more rain coming in from the atlantic as well. some of that cloud just could edge into western—most parts of england and wales. but on the whole, we've got clearer skies. that's going to lead to some more fog, particularly across some eastern parts of england. it'll be dense, it'll be freezing as well. there'll be a widespread frost for england and wales. could be as low as —7. bit chilly, i think, for south—east scotland. the rest of scotland, northern ireland should see temperatures above freezing. we've got milder atlantic air here, but that's really, really struggling to arrive across south—eastern parts of the uk, where we've got this blocking area of high pressure keeping it cold, but keeping us with some sunshine as well. there will be some fog around, then, as we move into tomorrow morning, especially for eastern england,

only very slowly lifting. one or two patches could linger into the afternoon. western parts of england and into wales will see more clouds, slightly higher temperatures. we've got cloud for scotland and northern ireland, a bit of rain and drizzle from time to time. could get some sunshine, though, around the moray firth — temperatures making 10 degrees in western scotland and northern ireland. but across the midlands, eastern england, could be only 3 or 4 degrees — and if the fog does linger, it'll be even colder than that. the weather front in the north—west weakens as high pressure builds across it in time for monday, keeping it cold for much of england and wales. some morning fog across eastern parts of england, again slowly lifting. some sunshine. we've still got cloudier skies across western parts of england and wales, and more especially in scotland and northern ireland, where it's still mild — temperatures again 9 or 10 degrees. but quite a contrast across the uk. we're still in that colder, generally sunny air through the midlands, towards the south—east and east anglia. we have to see this weather front actually coming in from the northwest to give us

more of a definite change around the middle part of the week. but tuesday still looks cold across south—eastern areas, some sunshine and some fog. it's not until wednesday we see milder air pushing down across the whole of the country. and with that milder air, looks like there's going to be a lot of cloud.

this is bbc news with the headlines. uk conservative party chairman nadhim zahawi says an error in his tax affairs was accepted by authorities as having been "careless and not deliberate" thousands of israelis take to the streets against benjamin netanyahu's right wing coalition in what could be the biggest anti—government protests in a decade. hello and welcome to bbc world news. the chair of the conservative party nadim zahawi has confirmed that he made a payment to the tax office to settle a disagreement
