that this context, we will see. that is all i can say. we will see. we have so many games in january and that is all we are focussed on now. that is all there is. talking about the market is not easy for me at the moment. tennis and poland are on course for a second successive appearance in the final of the united cup. they've reached the final four of the tournament — after beating great britain in the quarter finals. hubert hurkacz got them off to a winning start — beating billy harris in straight sets. and iga swiatek secured the victory, beating katie boulter in the second singles match. swiatek lost the opening set, but fought back to win in three — and set poland up for a semi final tie against kazakhstan. i don't know, i'm just exhausted, you know? i'm happy i won, so i don't need the play mixed doubles. but this night was crazy, like so many changes of momentum, like i thought i

had it under control in the first set, but for sure i got tight and i didn't work on it. but then i didn't want to repeat the same mistake in the third. you know, like i had also like a lot hurt. but i'm happy that we won. for sure i'm going to use the day off tomorrow. it's been a good day for the two number one seeds at the brisbane international. aryna sabelenka is through to the quarter finals after beating yulia putin—seva in straight sets and will face marie bouzkova next. whilst in the men's draw, novak djokovic is also into the last eight. he beat the frenchman gael monfils in straight sets — and will now play america's reilly opelka next. the brisbane international is one of the few titles djokovic has never won. ahead of their must—win final test against australia, india's head coach gautam gambhir has denied that the squad is divided. india trail the 5—match series 2—1, and defeat would mean they lose

the border—gavaskar trophy — something they've held since 2018. following their most recent defeat, gambhiradmitted harsh words were spoken in the dressing room but says it was all for the good of the team. those are just reports, that is not the truth. and i don't think i need to answer to any reports to be honest. there are some honest words, that is all i can say and honesty is very important. honesty is extremely important if you want to go on and achieve great things. and it starts from all of us, but only from the players, the coaches as well. and i said indian cricket, the talent there is in indian cricket, i think we will always be in safe hands. yes, there will be times when we are not getting the results, there are times when we will have to be patient and more importantly, rather than only criticising the young players, we have to give them time to develop as well. 17—year—old luke littler remains on course to become the youngest winner of the world darts championship. he's in the semi finals after easing past nathan aspinall 5—2.

littler — who finished runner—up 12 months ago — finished with an average of over 101 — as he set up a finalfourtie against stephen bunting. and we finish with some sad news — as agnes keleti, the oldest living olympic medal winner, has died. she was 103. keleti passed away after going into hospital with pneumonia a week ago. she won a total of 10 olympic medals in gymnastics, including five golds, for hungary at the 1952 helsinki games and the 1956 melbourne games. and that's all the sport for now. some news coming into us. a man among four people hurt when a car hit pedestrians in the west end of london on christmas day has died in hospital and has been named as a 25—year—old aidan chapman. that is the latest from the metropolitan police. a man among the four

people injured when a car hit pedestrians in london on christmas day, has died in hospital and he was 25—year—old aidan chapman. we will have more details on that as they come into us. let's talk about bradford. it will be the uk city of culture. a year long programme of events will feature the likes of artist david hockney and magician dynamo, who are both from the city, and aims to challenge perceptions — as our media and arts correspondent, david sillito has been finding out. joining me now is shanaz gulzar, creative director of bradford 2025 uk city of culture and ravinder dharni, chariman of

bradford hindu council. let's just talk about the moment you heard you had got this and i think we can see pictures of it. what did it mean to you and what does it mean, amazing celebrations there, everyonejumping up and down with delight, what did it mean to you and what does it mean to you and what does it mean to you and what does it mean to bradford?— mean to bradford? well, i remember— mean to bradford? well, i remember that _ mean to bradford? well, i remember that moment i mean to bradford? well, i - remember that moment clearly, it is a moment that keeps me awake at night. that is what you're delivering to and just that hope, thatjoy, it is our time finally it is our time. that is what you can hear and you can see when youlike at those images, it is huge for bradford to win the city of culture. i'm a local girl, i was born and brought up here in keighley and to be able to win the uk city of culture and win it as one of the youngest

hgppy a fantastic year of culture. happy new year to both of you and good luck with your hard work. good luck to both of you. thank you for watching. you have been watching bbc news. matthew is “p watching bbc news. matthew is up next. hello. well, we didn�*t have to wait very long in the new year to see a sharp, cold snap of weather. and for many of us, that will bring plenty of blue skies and sunshine today. others will see a bit of snow, like here in aberdeenshire. either way, we�*ve got these bitterly cold arctic winds spreading their way across the uk, bringing temperatures that are barely getting above freezing, most of us having dry weather and sunshine with a few showers draped around coastal areas. there will be a few more snow showers coming

in across northern areas of scotland, and temperatures barely getting above freezing factor in that brisk north westerly wind. it feels bitter outside overnight tonight, probably some showers merging to give some longer spells of snow in inland parts of scotland. so a few more centimetres here. around coastal areas of scotland, probably a bit more of a wintry mix. there�*ll probably be a bit of rain and sleet mixed in there as well. a widespread frost. lowest temperatures down to about minus six and tomorrow expect another day of blue skies and sunshine after a cold and frosty start for many. there will be further showers, though, again around coastal districts, some of these coming in as rain and sleet in towards some of our irish sea coasts. now heading into this weekend, we�*ve got a cold and a frosty start to the day on saturday. then a shield of cloud is going to spread across england and wales, so it will feel very cold, with very little in the way of sunshine through the afternoon, just 2 or 3 c. a bit of brighter weather further north, but again some showers around and temperatures

not getting much above freezing. it�*s heading through saturday night, sunday and into monday that some areas of the uk are looking at big trouble from this area of low pressure. the low pressure, though, will have a sharp dividing line in air mass. to the north, it�*s cold enough to see snow down to sea level. to the south, any snow turns back to rain. you�*d have to be up a mountain 2,500m high to see snowfall through the afternoon on sunday. we don�*t have any of those, so expect the weather to turn pretty wet. could be a bit of freezing rain bringing icy conditions across north wales for a time, but it�*s this zone where the snow becomes really slow moving and persistent that we need to really pay attention to because through sunday and into monday, some areas could see around 20 to 40cm of snow over the hills, drifting around in the strong winds that would likely cut off communities and bring some severe disruption. this boundary could change a little over the next few days.

yeah yeah live from london. this is bbc news: the us authorities believe the suspect behind the deadly new orleans attack was not �*solely responsible�*. the fbi search the home of the main suspect — a us army veteran.

this is the scene in new orleans — president biden says — the attacker was inspired by the islamic state group. amongst the victims — a princeton university football star, a father of two — and an aspiring nurse. today�*s other main headlines... new cancer figures from the health service in england and wales shows more people than ever are being diagnosed in the early stages. and a new discovery of dinosaur footprints in oxfordshire — the largest ever uncovered. hello, i�*m matthew amroliwala. president biden has said, the former us army veteran — who drove into crowds of people in new orleans — was inspired by so—called islamic state. 15 people were killed, when the pick—up truck drove

around a police barrier, and sped down burbon street,
