good evening. i'm tulsen toilet, and this is your sports news where we start with football and david moyes will take his west ham side to face his former club manchester united in the fifth round of the fa cup. west ham made it through with a 2—0 win at league one derby county. jarrod bowen and michail antonio were on target in either half as the london club put their premier league struggles to one side. along with manchester united being drawn at home to west ham, manchester city will travel to championship bristol city, while brighton's reward for knocking holders liverpool out is a trip to stoke city. the five remaining ties all contain at least one fourth round game that

needs to replayed before moving onto the last 16 with the ffth round set to start on the week of wednesday he 1st of march. for the full draw head to the bbc sport website. holders chelsea will host 14—time winners arsenal in the fifth round of the women's fa cup. chelsea beat liverpool 3—2 on sunday with a hat—trick from sam kerr. another game sees women's super league leaders manchester united taking on durham of the championship. other ties see last year's beaten finalists manchester city, just like the men's team, having to travel to bristol city. aston villa will take on fellow wsl side west ham and tottenham will host reading, but for the full draw which will see ties played form sunday february the 26th head to the bbc sport website. everton have confirmed sean dyche as their new manager. the former burnley boss replaces frank lampard who was sacked last week with the side joint bottom of the premier league as jane dougall reports.
11:32 pm
it will be a bit of stability which i imagine most fans would welcome at this stage. it was widely expected over the last few days that he would be confirmed, and this morning he came to training, came to everton�*s training ground and took training this afternoon and in a statement, their next match is here at goodison park against the league leaders, that is this saturday, and then following that, the merseyside derby on the 13th of february, so it's a baptism of fire fire sean dyche. his first official act as manager made to be getting a player or two in the door because tomorrow is transfer deadline day. many everton fans would argue that they would need fresh blood at the club that they are to stay up. the question is will he be given any resources to buy new players? it is no secret that there are real financial issues at everton. the owner might not be willing to part with any cash for transfers. already, he's spent an estimated £700 million for players
11:33 pm
since he bought the club in 2016, and despite that, the results haven't been forthcoming. they think dyche can make something of an impact on those results. we will find out very quickly if he can or not. things are getting busy ahead of the football transfer window closing tomorrow. chelsea have tabled a bid of over £105 million for benfica's argentina midfielder enzo fernandez, in a move that would make him the british transfer record signing. if the deal goes through, it would eclipse the £100 million manchester city paid aston villa forjack grealish last year. fernandez was named young player of the tournament during argentina's world cup win in qatar. arsenal have made a late world—record bid for england international alessia russo on the eve of transfer window deadline day. the 23—year—old manchester united striker turned down an offer to sign a contract extension at her current club injune. arsenal, currently three points behind wsl leaders united
11:34 pm
with a game in hand, have been monitoring russo�*s contract situation throughout january. the fee is understood to be more than the £a00,000 barcelona paid for england midfielder keira walsh in september. leeds united have confirmed their third signing of the january transfer window, with juventus midfielder weston mckennie joining on loan until the end of the season. the usa international had attracted interest from elsewhere in the premier league but has opted for leeds, where fellow countrymen tyler adams and brenden aaronson already play. the deal incldues the option to be made permanent come the end of the season. wolves have confirmed this afternoon that they've agreed a 15 million pound fee with flamengo for midfielderjoao gomes. the 21—year—old only made his debut in 2020 but has become a regular in the brazilian league, winning the copa libertadores last season. brighton have rejected a second bid from arsenal for midfielder moises caicedo and say he is not for sale. the ecuador international has told
11:35 pm
brighton he wants to leave the club and in turn caicedo has been instructed to remain away from training until the transfer window closes tomorrow night. arsenal as well as chelsea had offers for caicedo turned down last week. the latest offer from mikael aretea's side is thought to be in the region of £70 million, but brighton remain adamant he will not be sold. one man who could be moving before tomorrow's transfer deadline is manchester city full backjoao cancelo. he was seen as a key player in the city squad, but has started just two games since the world cup — which both ended in defeat. the emergence of teenager rico lewis and nathan ake's form have improved pep guardiola's defence. bayern munich are understood to be looking for a loan deal with the option to buy. rory mcilroy admits it was mentally tough but was happy he didn't let his emotions get in the way as he beat his rival patrick reed to win the dubai desert classic today. the american, seen here, is part of the rebel liv golf tour
11:36 pm
which mcilroy has repeatedly spoken out against. reed called the northern irishman an "immature little child," mcilroy says reed "isn't living in reality." it all added to the drama on the final day. mcilroy began it with a three—shot lead, but reed found himself level heading into the 18th. mcilroy needed this to win it, and made the putt, describing the victory as "emotional". i knew that i had the chances coming up, ten, 13, 17, 18, but when you see the person right in front of you birdie those holes or eagles or whatever it is, so i felt the pressure of having to answer and for the most part i did answer but i always felt like it with the way the back nine is here, my legs would give me a bit of an advantage with the par fives and driving the parfour. that's all the sport for now.
11:37 pm
11:38 pm
england's world cup is over. the aftermath of england's quarterfinal defeat to france at last year's world cup in qatar. manager gareth southgate admitted afterwards he felt conflicted over his future. a week later, the fa announced he would continue. but now for the first time, he's explained his decision. meeting me at the team's training base, st george's park to reveal why he remained in charge. gareth, great to see you here today. i must ask, first of all, how close did you come to walking away from the job and how difficult a decision was it to stay? no, not difficult. 0bviously, i'm contracted to 202k. my only concern after last summer, really, was that when there feels like there might be division
11:39 pm
between what the fans want and where my position might have been, that that can affect the team. and i was conscious of that leading into the world cup, and ifelt we had great support going into the world cup. but i was conscious how would things be during and after the world cup? because i never want to be in a position where my presence is affecting the team in a negative way. and i didn't believe that was the case, but ijust wanted a period after the world cup to reflect and make sure that was that was still how it felt, really. how much soul searching did the decision involve, gareth? did you fluctuate at all between deciding to stay and leave? no, not after the world cup. in the lead in, that was a little bit different. i wasn't quite sure how things would play out and i think it's
11:40 pm
always right tojudge an international manager on their tournaments. so, did i think that we overachieved? no. do i think we underachieved? no, i don't. i think our performances were good. i think the game with france going into it is a 50—50 game, which i think everybody would consider france to be one of the best teams in the world with the depth of talent they have. but, of course, across the flow of that game, that's the game we should win. but small margins make a difference, and we've got to make sure now that those small margins are turned in our favour. so, going into the world cup was that night at molineux injune when england lost to hungary and you received criticism from some fans. was that playing a major role in your thought process going into the world cup? and if so, why? because i was worried after that game that the team would be affected by the narrative being constantly
11:41 pm
about should the manager stay or go. and i felt when we went into the games in september we were a little bit anxious, i thought at wembley against germany the crowd weren't against the team, but they were waiting to see what happened. and i've been around teams where that can inhibit performance, and the last thing you want as a manager is that your presence is divisive and inhibits performance. so, i knew i had support with the players and how they were responding to things and i knew i had support of the organisation. so, those things are calm, but i think there are bigger things at stake with england than just having the support of those people at certain times. so, at that stage, before the world cup, would you say that you were feeling you were more likely to leave than stay before the tournament? no, i was i was totally focused on the tournament and determined to enjoy it, determined that we wanted to give it the best possible shot,
11:42 pm
and let's see where it goes and make a decision after, because you need to give yourself time in these situations to make good decisions. i think it's easy to rush things when emotions are high, and very often you've got to sleep a little bit more and come to the right conclusions. most people agree that you have breathed new life into the england team. you've reinvigorated it during your time in charge. so, did it come as a major disappointment, maybe even shock, that you received the criticism that you did after that result against hungary? no, football is as it is. and you can't lose a game 4—0 at home with england and expect people to be happy about the outcome. so, yeah, i've been in the game long enough to know how fans will react at certain times, and i'm comfortable with that from a personal perspective.
11:43 pm
my thinking is always around, how does this affect the team? is this going to give the team the best chance going into the world cup, for example? do we need to free that narrative up so that the support is behind the team and notjust debating whether the manager should be there or not? but i think we came through that period. we've started to score goals again and reminded ourselves of what we could be at our best. and that was very much the mindset we went into the tournament with. and was there a real sense after the world cup of unfinished business? that it would be painful, perhaps, to see somebody else come and take over the role and perhaps benefit from all the hard work that you'd been putting into it for some time? again, i don't have a problem with whatever the succession might be and england doing well once i've gone because no manager is going to be around forever.
11:44 pm
you would have missed it, right? 0h, iwould have. i mean, it's a privilege to do the role and i feel the team are still in the process of improving. we've got some exciting players who are getting better, where we're able to play closer to our best level in these knockout games now. we're playing with a lot more freedom in those moments. and, you know, that's a good thing. we're getting more experience of those latter stages of tournaments, which for the next generations is going to be important. the expectations are higher, and that's a good thing. but i'm never worried about somebody else taking over and benefiting. that's how it should work. we're talking about building a future for england for now, for the next few months, for the next tournament. but also beyond that, that's always been the body of work here. so, if you can identify one single thing that proved decisive in your decision to stay, what would it be? um, that i think we're continuing
11:45 pm
to improve as a team. and i think people could see the quality of the performances and the progress that we're making. um, you know, ifeel confident. i've been to three tournaments now. were, outside of france, and you could argue croatia, have had two good world cups, but if you put euros in that, we've probably been as consistent as any team in terms of our finishes and where we are. and i think people have enjoyed that journey with us and i feel that we can still go into the euros and we've got to qualify first. so, we can't just talk about winning a tournament until you've qualified, but i feel very confident about our chances in that tournament. gareth, were there ever times when you felt in the aftermath of the france defeat that you had perhaps taken the team as far as you could, and that change may be good for the side as well as yourself?
11:46 pm
no, i didn't feel that. i think that if anything, the opposite, you know, i think that we're much closer now to really having that belief to win. we've still got a small step to take. the margins of that game were really fine, but in the end games are won and lost in those key moments. and we didn't defend well enough in the goals they scored, and we had opportunities to score at the other end that we have to take to win those games. but across the tournament, the level of the performances were good. so, i saw progress in the team from our performances in the euros, even though in the euros we got to a final. and in this tournament, if you'rejustjudging on where we finished in terms of the round, not quite as successful. there will inevitably be some fans, however, who would have liked a change, who would have perhaps felt that
11:47 pm
you've taken it as far as you can, but to get over the line and get this generation of england players the silverware that many feel they deserve, it would have been perhaps good to have a change. if our performances weren't at the level they had been, then i think that that would have a little bit more of a legitimacy in that argument. i think we're all gaining belief in what we're doing. any regrets? looking back now with the benefit of a few weeks, there was some who said maybe you could have brought on the likes of marcus rashford a little earlier in that final reckoning against france. his form since perhaps supports that view. and do you think that's fair? any regrets? i don't really, you know, the flow of the game. france scored their goal in a period where we were having probably one of our best periods in the game. and, we'd got the equaliser. we were progressing well. we were in the process of bringing those players on when they scored. when we made changes, we obviously won the penalty within a few minutes as well.
11:48 pm
so, what i've learned in this job, whenever the result doesn't go as you hope, then the solution is always the things you didn't do, because of course nobody knows what they might look like. so, i'm comfortable with that. i think we've got good depth. i think we used the squad well. there can always be an argument for a different player providing something at a different time. were you ever tempted by the prospect of a return to club management and were there any offers for you to do so? i think people have known i'm under contract, firstly. so, the question for me was more, you know, what's the situation here with england and is it the right thing to to keep taking this project on? because it's notjust the six years i've been with the seniors. i've been here ten years with developing everything as well. so i wanted to make sure i'm still fresh and hungry for that similar challenge.
11:49 pm
and has it taken a toll the last six years? because like never before in this role, you've been asked to notjust manage but also comment on issues beyond the game, especially in the build up to this tournament. did that take its toll on you at all? no, there are there are moments where life would be more straightforward for me if it was just focusing on football. and you are very conscious of the impact of your words and you've got to be representing your country on a global stage. so, there might be a view in our country of certain things, but you've also got to be an ambassador when you travel and when you're dealing with other people. so, it is complex, but it's also been the greatest privilege of my life to lead my country. and i'm very conscious of that honour and it's allowed me to have life experiences i could never have expected, really. win or lose the euros, realistically, have you managed england at a world cup for the last
11:50 pm
time, do you think? oh, i've not even thought about that really. i think it's fair to bejudged, as i said before, on the tournament, and maybe we're sitting in two years' time thinking about what's next here. it's very difficult to say. i think fortunately my contract is built in until the december, so the fa and everybody has time to review the next tournament, and to make decisions at the pace that we believe are the right ones. who's impressed you from the squad and beyond since the world cup? i mean, several of your players are in very good form, the likes of rashford and saka, of course, as well. harry kane, obviously, despite what happened equalling the spurs goal—scoring record. how pleased for them and him in particular? yeah, yeah. well, i guess harry will have felt things more acutely than anybody coming out of the tournament because of having the captaincy
11:51 pm
of the team as well, as the way things ended with the penalty. but, you know, he has to be assured that firstly, he's our best penalty taker and he's one of the best penalty takers in the world, but even the best are hitting about 85%. so, at some point you're going to have one that doesn't get over the line. and equally, you know, the team didn't lose the game because of that moment. there are moments at both ends of the pitch around that 90 minutes that could have changed the outcome. and also, had he scored that we're still only 2—2 and there's still a lot of the game to be played out. it's the first time, of course, players have had to go back from a major tournament straight into club football. and all of their circumstances are different at clubs. and it's a never ending roller—coaster, really, for the players. there are moments where they're really in—form, and the next few
11:52 pm
weeks are important for us to monitor probably more of the players that perhaps haven't been with us as regularly. but then of course, as we go in towards march, then it's really key on who's in form and who can help us to win. what's the crucial game going to naples, and then with ukraine as well. and of course this is fa cup weekend, fourth round. how important is that competition to you, gareth? and i guess it also gives you an invaluable chance to check out how your players are performing. yeah, well, the first thing is that the fa cup is still an incredible competition. we still get those brilliant upsets that we see. equally, from my perspective, a lot of the teams of play have been playing young english players, and for a lot of young english players it's their first experience of competitive football. so that's also great to see young players breaking through. gareth, thanks so much for your time. appreciate it. pleasure. best of luck this coming campaign. thank you.
11:53 pm
hello there. we started the new week off on a fine note. up and down the country on monday, we saw plenty of sunshine. however, as we continue to move into the middle parts of the week, we're likely to see a spell of gales for a time. some rain in the north, too, but things will settle down towards the end of the week again, and pretty much all areas will be on the mild side for the time of year. now, this weather front will continue to churn its way southwards on tuesday, eventually clearing southern britain. there'll be barely anything on it, just some spots of rain, a bit of cloud. so, it brightens up for much of england and wales. but things are turning a lot windierfor the northern half of the country, with gales developing, particularly across northern and western scotland. and it'll be a day of sunshine and scattered, blustery showers, some heavy wintry on the hills,. double figure values in the south, single figures in the north. now, as we move through tuesday night, things turn even windier across scotland. there's a swathe of very strong
11:54 pm
winds which could affect the far north, the highlands and in towards the northern isles. certainly during the early hours of wednesday, spell of severe gales here, up to 80 mile an hour gusts. areas of wet weather as well pushing in from the west. a bit of snow on the hill. so quite an unsettled, stormy night to come across the far north of the country tuesday night. furthersouth, it'll be a lot quieter. and the reason it's quieter towards the south, always closer to this area of high pressure. now, as we head into wednesday, we'll have low pressure moving away into the norwegian sea, taking a strong winds with it from northeast scotland. this weather front will bring some showery rain to northern ireland, south west scotland in towards northern england. but there will be a lot of dry weather again towards the south where it'll be mild. further north, a coolerfeel blustery with sunshine and showers. as we move into thursday, again, there's another weather front that could bring outbreaks of rain across the northern half of the country. eventually, that rain, some of it heavy, will clear away from scotland later in the day. but further south, certainly for much of the midlands, well, southern england,
11:55 pm
it's going to be dry again with some sunny spells around close to that area of high pressure, and a mild feel to things for most certainly for early february. and then as we move into friday, you can see the influence this area of high pressure has on the country, trying to keep these weather fronts at bay, which will flirt with the north of the uk at times. we're all into fairly mild air as we head into friday, even northern parts of scotland. i think there could be quite a bit of cloud around on friday because this moisture laden air from the southwest, which will be mild, will contain quite a lot of cloud in it, certainly across western areas. probably best the brightness towards the southeast where we could be up to 12 or 13 degrees, with double figure values there for the north of scotland. there'll be further rain at times across the north of the uk as we head into the weekend, as weather fronts continue to skirt pass the north of the uk still again on the mild side for many, something a little bit colderjust pushing into the very far north of scotland into the northern isles. and then as we move through sunday and into the new working week,
11:56 pm
it looks like high pressure dominates the scene, but there will be low pressure systems trying to push into the north and the west of the uk, turning things briefly unsettled here and the temperatures will be generally up and down. i think for the best part for england and wales we stay in the milder air, some slightly colder influxes pushing into the northern half of the country as these areas of low pressure and ridges of high pressure move through. so generally you can see as we head into next week, it's fine across much of england and wales. northern areas will see some rain at times, and for most it will stay on the mild side with things still a bit cooler at times in the north.
