remarkable! finally, football, in the fa cup manchester city are through to the fifth round after a narrow victory against arsenal. nathan ake broke the deadlockjust after the hour mark with an accurate finish into the bottom corner to secure a 1—0 victory had put city through. that takes us to look at the weather prospects. ben rich has joined me. we are getting the weekend off to a calm, tranquil start in most places. something livelier on the way particularly in the north of the country as we move into sunday but right now we've got some areas of cloud. most spots are dry but this band of cloud is bringing some outbreaks of rain southwards across scotland, northern ireland, into the far north of england, where it stays cloudy temperatures will stay above freezing, any clear spells will allow for a touch of frost and we could see fog patches towards the south first thing tomorrow morning.

for tomorrow, still this band of cloud bringing a little bit of rain but not very much, across northern england, down into north wales, the north midlands. to the south of that a lot of low cloud cover is the mist, some fog, a little bit of sunshine. the best of the sunshine further north and west for northern ireland and for scotland with a few showers in the north—west. temperatures 6—8. here comes the lively bit of the weekend forecast. sunday this area of low pressure passing to the north of scotland and the frontal system which will bring some outbreaks rain. a breezy day generally. it stays mainly fine to the south. early cloud giving way to spells of sunshine. but the winds picking up through the afternoon, to the eastern side of the pennines we could see gusty conditions for a time. also very windy for coasts of northern ireland, more broadly across scotland, in exposed spots in the north of scotland gusts of 65 mph or more with a band of rain pushing southwards and eastwards but ahead of that wedge of mail their lifting temperatures for some up to

12 degrees. let me show you what could happen with the weather early next week. it could turn livelier still. this looks like a really deep low passing close to the north of scotland perhaps on tuesday, may be into wednesday, so that could bring stormy conditions for some in the far north. it is likely to stay a bit, further south. that's the bbc news at ten on friday the 27th of january. there is that's the bbc news at ten on friday the 27th ofjanuary. there is more analysis on newsnight getting under way with mark urban on bbc two. the news continues on bbc one because it's time tojoin news continues on bbc one because it's time to join our colleagues across the nations and regions for the news wherever you are. from the hello, i'm tulsen tollet, and here's your latest sports news. a big weekend of fa cup fourth round action has kicked off, with manchester city beating premier league leaders arsenal 1—0 at the etihad. the gunners had the better

of the first half hour, with new signing leandro trossard foiled by stefan ortega. city weren't without chances though, and kevin de bruyne came as close as they got before the break. in the second half, city found a way through. julian alvarez hit the post, and in the same move, nathan ake sealed his side's place in the fifth round. we were better in the second half with the goal that i made a step forward. in that game you realise how good i say they are. we respect the approach from them it was difficult to build up. yes, we beat the team at the top of the leak. the way they approach a game in the

way we _ the way they approach a game in the way we competed in the game was really— way we competed in the game was really good which is tough to do against — really good which is tough to do against this incredible team. and we played _ against this incredible team. and we played face—to—face against them. sean dyche looks set to be named as everton�*s new manager, after frank lampard was sacked this week. he's a familiarface to the premier league. in a decade at burnley, dyche guided them to two promotions from the championship, and two top—half premier league finishes. and faces the task of saving everton�*s season. they're second from bottom, after picking up just 15 points from 20 games. well one man who could be leaving goodison is anthony gordon. newcastle are close to signing the 21 year from everton. after the clubs agreed a deal that could eventually be worth £a5 million. while that deal has yet to be finalised, newcastle vice—captain kieran trippier has signed a new contract with the magpies that will keep him at st james' park until 2025. trippierjoined newcastle last january from atletico madrid and was the first signing made following the club's saudi takeover novak djokovic has defended his father, saying he didn't intend to pose for pictures with supporters of vladimir putin at

the australian open. sorjan djokovic was filmed standing next to a russian flag with putin's face on it, and chose to miss novak�*s semifinal win over american tommy paul earlier. jane dougall reports. he's never lost a semifinal at the australian open, but in novak djokovic's way, the surprising american tommy paul — unseeded but with a large following. support for the defending champion was down by one, his father staying away after criticism for posing with fans of russian president vladimir putin — perhaps why djokovic started slowly. watching on, bill gates, who should have suggested a reboot. djokovic then seemed rattled, needlessly arguing with the umpire. tell me how it works if it's not working. he then lost nine points in a row, and suddenly paul had levelled at five games all. would you believe it? but the champion�*s reserves are deep. he fought back.

who's cheering now? there were moments of brilliance from paul in the second, but experience shone through. it didn't take the serb long to get to match point, and djokovic was through to his 33rd grand slam final. afterwards, when asked about his father being photograph with russian fans, djokovic admitted it had affected him but that it had not been deliberate. there was no intention, and now you're basically asking me a question like he did it intentionally and like he is not being careful about what he is doing. it can happen to many people, what happened to him. he was passing through, a photo. it has escalated. he was misused. it has got to me as well, and i was not aware of it until last night, and then of course i was not pleased to see that.

djokovic will play stefanos tsitsipas after the greek beat karen khachanov in four sets. and didn't he do it well? and there was a british victory overnight — with a trophy to boot — alfie hewett and gordon reid winning their fourth australian open wheelchair doubles title. but on sunday, in a tournament he says he loves, djokovic will have the chance to become world number one again. jane dougall, bbc news. england's cricketers were on course for victory — but a batting collapse when they looked in their stride, saw south africa win the first of their one—day matches. they lost by 27 runs, despite a century from jason roy — and the return ofjofra archer after nearly two years failed to inspire. alex fletcher reports. it's been a wild since the barmy army had seenjoe archer in an english church. they descended on

the city of roses there was a thorn in the side of south africa. strachan twice before archer marked his return with a wicket. it took three wickets with some some verb fielding. the crowd with a clear message as england begun their turn. they responded by bringing their first half—century. quick fire wickets put south africa back in the context. roi it reaches century as england looked in control but a collapse was eminence. the final broke as england were all out for 271. alex lesher bbc news. matt weston has become great britain's first men's skeleton world champion in 15 years after winning in st moritz. weston finished an astonishing 1.79 seconds ahead of italy's amedeo bagnis in switzerland. the 25—year—old becomes the second british man to win

a world skeleton title. the rfu, rugby union's governing body in england, has apologised after their announcement last week, that leagues below the championship, would adopt tackling from the waist—down from next season. the goal was to help prevent concussions, but the news was poorly received at grassroots level. the rugby football union said in their statement that they accept that the rugby community has other concerns that this change may bring and we need to listen, understand and respond to those concerns. to action on the rugby field now, and sale snatched victory from the jaws of defeat with a last—gasp try to overcome bath at the aj bell stadium. having led by 19 points moments before half—time, sale found themselves staring at a 25—27 loss . as the clock ticked into the red, but arron reed's late try was enough to secure the bonus point win, which solidifies their position in second place. four points behind leaders saracens.

that's all the sport for now. 50 years ago, astronauts would regularly go to the moon. back then, many thought it wouldn't be long before people lived there. now, finally, that could be happening. we're notjust settling for doing the same old, same old. we want to push further. and rocket launches are now commonplace, sending up spacecraft for the benefit of life on earth.

space is an integral part of society. our way of working only functions with satellites for telecom, for navigation, for earth observation, for weather forecasting, for many things. so, we need the satellites for our daily life. the country that first sent a person into space is crashing back to earth, because of its war in ukraine. if russia doesn't partner up with another nation l or field its own space station, which given the current - circumstances and sanctions is quite unlikely, it might not have any- crewed space flight. what became a story of collaboration is now once again one of competition and conflict. china has its own space station. india wants one. and private companies are getting in on the act, too, sending up their own rockets.

i'm pallavi ghosh, the bbc�*s science correspondent. come with me on a journey into the future of human exploration, and the new space race. long before man had mastered the earth, he lifted _ up his eyes and began to dream of conquering space. _ through the centuries, he nursed the dream. i until today, the dream has substance. - man has crossed the threshold. the first great frontier of the universe. - man has entered space. that man was yuri gagarin of the soviet union. he was the first person in space. an achievement that stunned the world, and was a huge triumph for the soviets.

it's obviously a moment of huge pride. a huge amount of national pride, as we can see the crowds here on red square, and obviously yuri gagarin story also lent itself to this. he was almost the perfect hero. juliana suess is an expert from the think tank rusi, the royal united services institute. she looks at how international relations shapes space policy. it was a huge moment, of course. yuri gagarin became the most known person on the planet almost instantly when he completed that flight,when he returned safely down to earth, especially since the us was actually very close to launching their own first human into space just shortly afterwards. so, there was a bit of a race for sure. it was a huge moment in the sense that it was a tremendous achievement that had barely been dreamed aboutjust years beforehand. obviously, we saw the launch of sputnik, the first artificial satellite into space in 1957. so, only four years after,

there was a tremendous quick development into launching a satellite, to actually launching a human and returning him safely back down to earth. all eyes were now on a world that lay beyond earth. the soviet union and the united states each wanted to show that they could get to the moon first. it became known as the space race. russia had put the first person in space. american prestige was taking a beating. and on the ground, us president, john f kennedy, was losing the so called cuban missile crisis. he had threatened the soviets with nuclear war if they went ahead and built a military base right on america's doorstep. in september 1962, president kennedy delivered a speech in houston, texas, designed to rouse spirits

and change the dynamic. we choose to go to the moon. we choose to go to the moon in this decade, and do the other things. not because they are easy, but because they are hard. but it wasn't an easy journey. space exploration is expensive and dangerous. there were many setbacks on the way. in just a few years, in 1969, the world watched in awe as us astronaut neil armstrong set foot on the moon, uttering the immortal words. it's one small step for man. one giant leap for mankind. they've got the flag up

now, and you can see the stars and stripes... for that brief moment, the entire world was as one. just beautiful. but it was an american flag that was planted on the lunar surface. the underlying tensions were still there. that competition was broken in 1975, when spacecraft from both sides docked high above the earth. a technical and diplomatic triumph. the hatch opened. there was an historic handshake between a russian cosmonaut and a us astronaut, and a new understanding in space that many hoped would change things on the ground. i was a teenager at the time. and yes, for me, that was the herald of all things that were going to create world peace.

absolutely. and astronauts and cosmonauts, we've always had this connection and we've worked closely. and the scientists will be the same, when you work really closely with a group of people, whatever their nationality. you do learn to trust. i still trust some of those russian people with my life. helen sharman was the uk's first astronaut. she flew with the soviet cosmonauts. the handshake in orbit led to her mission on the space station mir in 1991. seven years later, the soviets launched the first stage of the international space station. an american module, called unity docked onto it, paving the way for a golden era of cooperation between the two superpowers. it was a symbol of what humanity could achieve if nations put aside their differences

and work together. the world and space were changing. demand for better communications, environmental monitoring and technology was driving a renewed interest in sending satellites into orbit. space we're so dependent on it without even noticing it. everyday bank transactions. you know, the gps that you use to check when the next bus is running, those kind of things that we perhaps don't even notice. but it's there. and lift off. there's lots of money to be made in space now. it's becoming very busy. in 2021 around 5000 satellites were launched. 20 years ago it was just 800. more than 70 countries now have space programmes of their own. china has built its own space station, and others like india,

south korea, japan and the uae are well advanced in launching rockets of their own. how do you see it developing? josef aschbacher is head of the european space agency and is determined to keep europe in the new space race. he's had a £2 billion increase in funding, despite the financial squeeze facing governments. space is an integral part of society. our way of working only functions with satellites for telecom, for navigation, for earth observation, for weather forecasting, for many things. so, we need the satellites for our daily life. but on the other side, there's also an economic growth sector which is extremely large. and space is one of those which is expanding, as you, as everyone knows, very fast and, actually, much faster now than in the last two decades. so, yes, we cannot lose out. and therefore, we need to really participate strongly in this sector because i want to create

opportunities for our companies in our member states to really participate in this, and also find new business opportunities, create new services, new information, new technology, which we are developing. and yes, this is money very well invested. the international space station has been part of that growth in activity. it's a partnership of 15 countries and is seen as a beacon of international collaboration and is seen as a beacon but the war in ukraine has damaged that relationship. western nations have stopped working with russia. conflict on earth has led once again to conflict in space. the international space station is now the focal point for this renewed tension.

the west has no choice but to continue to collaborate with russia here because the iss is not owned by any one nation. each depends on the other for it to operate. it was a symbol of peace 20 years ago, when its construction began with the us and the soviet union leading the way. but when it was cut out of space projects with the west, the russians threatened to pull out of the space station but chose not to go through with it in the end. helen sharman believes that if the ambitious missions to other worlds are to succeed, space agencies will have to come together once again. ultimately i can see us absolutely collaborating again, very openly and fully internationally is my hope. to go to mars. i mean, that's the dream. in the shorter term future there are other possibilities too, but i think we're going to have

to learn to trust again. so i think there's a lot of ground work that needs to be rebuilt with the russians. but keeping together with the russians on iss, it provides us with at least a starting point. in fact, since war broke out, a us rocket sent up a russian cosmonaut to the space station. anna kikina, seen here in the middle with long flowing hair. she was greeted by others on board during a recent crew change. international collaboration continues among the astronauts and cosmonauts. and that cooperation is still continuing on the ground, in the very heart of moscow at russian space hq. it was here at star city that britain's second astronaut, tim peake, on the left, trained for his 2016 mission to the space station.

star city is a sort of international hub for space flight. it's where a lot of the astronauts go for training. and it really is the place that brings us all together. this would still be happening. so astronauts and cosmonauts in training haven't been recalled despite the war. russia's soyuz rocket is a reliable workhorse of the space age. it was a taxi service that took astronauts to the iss when safety concerns grounded america's shuttle. but the russian technology is old and now is of less use to its former international partners. so once a space station is decommissioned, could russia the first nation into space, be the first one out? if the russians haven't figured out an alternative by then, and obviously we know that especially european and american space agencies are looking towards the potential of commercial space stations if russia doesn't partner up with another nation or field its own space station,

which, given the current circumstances and sanctions, is quite unlikely, it might not have any crewed space flight. and there's no shortage of others to fill russia's place. china's space programme is advancing and pretty much to schedule too. in the last ten years, it's launched more than 200 rockets. like the west, china's satellites are both vital for everyday communications and military purposes. its technical achievements bring with it much sought after international prestige. and its new space station called tiangong, is now occupied. china has invited other nations on board and made a call for proposals for scientific experiments mirroring and rivalling the west's international space station. and its ambitions don't end there.

like america, china also has plans to put an astronaut on the moon. so, is this the new space race? three to one boosters, indication. and liftoff of artemis i. we rise together back. to the moon and beyond. currently, america's space spending still dwarfs china's. nasa's latest mission, artemis, has begun and is ambitious. it's a long term commitment. the eventual aim is to have a human outpost on the moon by 2030. and it comes at a colossal price. $93 billion, with the american taxpayer footing the bill. the budget of nassau is increasing every year by 6%, 7%, 8%. if i take china, the missions to the moon, the missions to mars, the human space flight capability, the satellites in earth, observation and telecommunication

and navigation it's enormous. and i'm pretty sure that the growth rates of the chinese space budget is much higher than that of nasa or esa. so as china grows as a space power. could russia work with them? so it almost seems the natural step that after the iss cooperation will end, which it definitely will after 2030, because the space station will be decommissioned, that russia would turn to china because it's already working with china on a couple of other missions. that being said, i don't think china would be the preferred partner and i think vice versa. i'm not sure russia would be the preferred partner for china either. china has already launched tiangong, its current space station. it's currently building it, it's currently fully developing it, in which case russia would join this partnership on a new space station as a junior partner. whereas as part of the iss, russia was very much an equal partner to nasa's to jaxa, the japanese space agency and esa. but with china, that

wouldn't happen. it's an expensive business. no one country can do it alone. new partnerships are being forged. notably with the new brash billionaires on the block. elon musk and his company, spacex, is already taking passengers into orbit, and now his sights are set on building rockets to go to mars. and not to be outdone, amazon'sjeff bezos wants to build a commercial orbiting station. he even paid for the actor who played star trek�*s captain kirk to boldly go where he's always wanted to go before. what you have given me is the most profound experience i can have. i'm so filled with emotion about what just happened.

i just... it's extraordinary. it's going to be that commercialisation and it's going to be that that brings companies together worldwide. and then we really won't care where those companies are registered. what matters is that we're doing stuff together and we're doing stuff for the benefit of the rest of the world. there is boring soil. well, don't move it till i see it. it's now 50 years since astronauts were last on the lunar surface. it's all over. all right. hey, it is. i can see it from here. soon they'll be back in large numbers and from many different countries. i think maybe to look. this image from the early days of human space flight was seen across a world riven

with strife and conflict. it showed that from space there were no borders, just one beautiful planet. humanity is poised for its next big leap into the cosmos. the question is whether the new space race will be driven by conflict or usher in a new era of peace and collaboration.

this is bbc news with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. israeli police say that at least seven people have been killed in a mass shooting at a synagogue in eastjerusalem. the us is bracing for the release of police video of an arrest that led to the death of the black man tyre nichols in memphis. his mother spoke ahead of the public release of that controversial video in an hour's time. i've never seen the video. but what i've heard is very horrific — very horrific. here in the uk, the chancellor jeremy hunt has set out his plan to boost economic growth, prioritising reducing inflation and stabilising the economy.
