from live music to the iconic turner prize, there's a spectacle of creativity coming to the city in 2025. and british rapper stormzy is banned from driving for nine months, after pleading guilty to using his mobile phone behind the wheel. hello from the bbc sport centre. rangers have thumped celtic 3—0 in the old firm derby, but still trail them by 11 points in the premiership. rangers made a bright start when yanis hagi drove in past kasper schmeichel. celtic never gained any mometum as rangers dominated. robin propper squeezed in a second after half—time before substitute danilo swept in the third. it's the first old firm victory for rangers manager philippe clement, and celtic�*s first loss of the domestic season. here are the rest of todays results — third placed aberdeen lost two one

to ross county who are third placed aberdeen lost 2—1 to ross county who are tenth in the league. bottom side stjohnstone picked up a point against hibernian, and the dundee derby is just underway. you can get all the details on the bbc sport website and app. real madrid head coach carlo ancelotti has refused to deny his club are trying to sign trent alexander—arnold from liverpool. we understand the spanish side had made an approach — which liverpool pushed back on. spanish media also reported real are willing to buy the england international this month — but ancelotti wouldn't be drawn on the situation. translation: it is very difficult to talk about it in this _ context, we will see. that is all i can say. we will see. we have so many games injanuary 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. the semi—finals of the world darts gets under way in a couple of hours�* time.

last years runner—up, luke littler, takes on stephen bunting in the second match but first up it's the three time former champion, michael van gerwin, against chris dobey, whose through to the last four for the first time. i fourfor the first time. i four for the first time. feel confident. i i fourfor the first time. feel confident. i have beatei on ifeel confident. i have beaten him on the big stage before, i have beaten him plenty of times, i think and i have getting rid of the thought i cannot beat him and i now know i can so i won a couple of years back in the cup final and that will be in the back of my mind and i feel confident going into tonight. great britain are out of the united cup, beaten by poland in the quarterfinals. billy harris put up a vailiant fight in the first match but was eventually beaten in straight sets by hubert hurcatch 7—6, 7—5. katie boulter took the opening set against the world number two, iga swiantek. but the five time grand slam winner fought back to win the match in three sets. poland will now face kazakhstan for a place in the final.

i don't know, i'm just exhausted, you know? i'm happy that 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. i took like four painkillers because a lot hurt, but i am happy that we won and for sure i am going to use a 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 bozekova 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. the brisbane international is one of the very few titles djokovic has never won.

it is great competitors from long time and two veterans at this point. we have been playing for many years and it is the first time for me to have my family and it is a very long trip, but they came here to be with me and support me and we are spending a lot of great quality time together off of the court so my heart is full and it allows me to play my best. and that's all the sport for now. let's recap offence in new orleans because we've had that briefing from the fbi and the last little while and these are the live pictures because bourbon street is going to because bourbon street is going to be reopened to the public and to businesses there in about three hours from now. but heavy police activity still in the area. the fbi seen the last hour or so that this was an act of terrorism, it was

premeditated and evil, but crucially saying the attacker had acted alone. he had been 100% inspired by the islamic state and they gave more of the details of what they have uncovered so far. of course, they have been going through some of the phones and laptops they have seized in telling us about the videos that he posted whilst he was en route to new orleans before he made that attack. 14 people killed, over 35 injured in that attack. 15 killed including of course the main suspect. we are also told that president biden is meeting with his homeland security team in the situation room around now. so we await any additional bits of information coming from the white house. so these are the keys lines after the significant news briefings of today. we will have more later on

in this half—hour but for the next two minutes turn to some of today's other important stories. the proportion of patients in here in england being diagnosed with cancer at an early stage has risen to its highest ever level, according to new nhs figures. the latest data on 13 of the most common cancers, such as breast, prostate and lung cancer, shows that nearly three in five patients are now being diagnosed at the earliest stages of the disease, when it is far easier to treat. our health correspondent dominic hughes reports: in a bradford city centre car park this van represents the latest front in the battle against cancer. this is trevor. the use of mobile scanners like this is just one way the nhs is trying to catch more cases of liver and lung cancers earlier, when they're much more treatable. this liver scanner is open to anyone who's passing. no appointment needed, just walk in. the vans that house the scanners are sent to places where they can catch the attention

of the most people — shopping centres, football grounds, supermarkets. you've got a nice healthy liver there. and for oluwuasina, it's been a positive experience. it's convenient for me because it'sjust right here in a car park. and also, it's always good to have a medical check if you have the opportunity. sometimes we are always busy with whatever we are doing in our day to day lives and we forget about our health. it's very, very important to have a medical check. so it's an opportunity, which i grab with my two hands. the latest data on early cancer diagnosis suggests that over the past year, nearly 60% of the most common cancers were diagnosed at an early stage. that's an increase in detection rates that corresponds to an estimated 7,000 more patients. and in total, more than three million people were seen for urgent cancer checks over the last year, a big increase when compared to before the pandemic.

liver scanning vans are especially important, as cancer can develop long before symptoms become obvious. the problem with liver disease is that it is asymptomatic for a really long time, so people, even with quite advanced disease, may have no idea that they have liver disease. the purpose of this scan is to allow us to detect that before it becomes symptomatic. liver disease becomes symptomatic at a really advanced stage, by which time it's really too late to offer many treatments. we don't want to meet people at that stage. we want to meet people at a much earlier stage, where we can offer them as many treatments as possible. spotting cancers early is a big step towards successful treatment. but in october, just 68% of cancer patients were seen within 62 days of an urgent referral, well below the target of 85%. so the challenge facing the nhs this coming year is to improve treatment times for those who are diagnosed. dominic hughes, bbc news.

people smuggling subjects could face crackdowns coming after figure showing migrants crossing the english channel was up by a quarter in 2024 compared to people—smuggling suspects could face travel bans and social media blackouts under new laws aimed at cracking down on organised immigration crime. it comes after new figures showed the number of migrants who crossed the english channel in small boats to arrive in the uk was up by a quarter in 2024 compared to the previous year. our home editor mark easton has more. 2024 was the deadliest year for those migrants trying to cross the channel in small boats. the french authorities say around a third of the 77 who lost their lives last year were children, including a 17—month—old baby. now, the refugee council is calling on the home office to make saving lives a priority for its border security command. alongside the measures to disrupt the smuggling gangs, the agency wants the uk to support improved search and rescue operations along the french coast. our message is very clear. there is a role for enforcement, but enforcement and disrupting the gangs and the people smugglers will not, in and of itself,

stop people taking dangerous journeys and will stop people losing their lives. there also need to be far more legal routes for people from the likes of sudan, fleeing a brutal civil war or tyrannical rule in afghanistan, don't have to get into boats, don't have to dice with death crossing the channel. the home office accepts that efforts to disrupt the smuggling gangs have resulted in flimsier and more overcrowded dinghies taking to the water, but insists the department is focused on saving lives, as well as protecting britain's borders. these interim orders are about being able to act much more quickly against potential people smugglers. these are criminal gangs that are undermining our border security and putting lives at risk, and they must be stopped. police. yes? this week, three members of an organised crime group involved in smuggling thousands of migrants into europe and across the channel were arrested in the uk, following a joint operation between the national crime agency and belgian authorities.

they now face extradition to belgium, where they've already been convicted in their absence. just the kind of international cooperation and tough policing the government sees as key to defeating the criminal gangs. the home office has announced new court orders will be available in england and wales to limit the activities of those suspected, but not convicted of serious criminality in the channel. but the desperation of those determined to seek asylum in the uk means stopping the boats is both difficult and dangerous. mark easton, bbc news. the uk health security agency has issued an amber cold weather health alert across england as temperatures continue to drop. freezing conditions are also hampering some clean—up efforts in parts of north—west england after heavy rain and flooding hit on new year's day. in greater manchester, hundreds of people were forced to leave their homes. from stockport, jessica lane sent this report. the mess and destruction left behind

after yesterday's flooding. you can see that, in some places, the water in here came to head height and has caused damage to this converted mill, which is home to around 400 people. yesterday it had to be evacuated after everyone became trapped inside with no power and no running water. thought it was just because of the storm. couldn't see outside. got dressed, went downstairs and then i was met with knee—deep water on the ground floor, just covered. and so, yeah, that was a big, big shock in the morning. but fire and rescue were already there. the mill became an island and the cars in the car park here were covered. this morning, many came home to see how bad the damage is. 0k, won't even come undone. like, it's completely out of your control. the good news is nobody�*s flats are damaged. like, a car is a car. your belongings are obviously more important to you than a car. i suppose at least everyone has a home to come back to. we're justjust up there and looked

out about four in the morning and, yeah, saw the car floating. yeah, we were just gutted. looking out, sort of watching helpless, really. this building here is one of six that was flooded so badly it led the fire service to declare a major incident yesterday. it's thought nearly a month's worth of rain fell in just 48 towers, just overwhelming the waterways, like the river, which isjust here. some were taken to rescue centres locally, but most went to friends and family. it's a fabulous story. it's sort of signifies the sort of manchester bee and the mentality of the greater manchester communities, and i'm so proud to work on their behalf. there was flooding across the north west yesterday, including these houses in lymm and the bridgewater canal, which breached its banks. and everyone affected will now be focusing on cleaning up and getting things back in order after a disappointing start to the new year.

ajudge has branded rapper and songwriter, stormzy, a "dangerous and irresponsible" driver — and banned him for nine months — after he admitted using a mobile phone while behind the wheel of his rolls royce. here's our reporter steve knibbs. he did not appear at the magistrate court this morning much as a disappointing bully disappointment of the photographer is because he was initially due to plead not guilty but in court today the judge was told that he had sent a letter to the court admitting to the offence last year he was driving his rolls was when he was spotted by an off—duty police officer who saw the wrapper using his mobile phone and he tapped on the window and told him to stop. also in the year before in 2020 32 police officers stopped stormzy as he was driving a lamborghini and was concerned there was too much tent on the car they

used a device showing the amount of life coming through the window showing only 4% of light was coming through when the legal requirement was a minimum of at least 70%. the court was also told that storms stormzy had six points on his licence and the districtjudge said in sentencing him that his actions were irresponsible and dangerous behind the wheel and ordered him to pay fines of over £2000 behind the wheel and ordered him to pay fines of over e2000 and also endorsed licence with another six points which thejudge endorsed licence with another six points which the judge said in need stormzy what is known as a totter where you have taught it up at least 12 points on your licence over the last three years which triggers an automatic driving bands of the singers also drive bully banned from driving today for the next nine months. the lawyer

fossilised bones aren't the only way of studying dinosaurs. preserved footprints can also offer an insight into their lives. now some of the biggest trackways everfound in the uk have been discovered in oxfordshire and scientists are hoping it'll help them understand even more about how dinosaurs moved around. our science editor rebecca morelle has more. following in the footsteps of a jurassic giant. this is where a dinosaur walked 166 million years ago, its footprints revealing the comings and goings of a prehistoric world. but it wasn't alone. different trackways crisscross this entire site. they were discovered on the floor of a limestone quarry in oxfordshire by one of the workers. so i was basically clearing the clay and i was hitting a hump. so, like this here? yeah, yeah. as it turned out, it was this front bit i was hitting

and i thought it was just an abnormality in the ground. but then it got to another about three metres long, it was hump again. and then another three metres, hump again. and when i got out and examined it, it looked like footprints. and the weird thing about it was, when you sit there, it was like, i'm the first person to see them. yeah, it was a bit... yeah, a bit of a tingling moment, really. over the summer, scientists, students and volunteers joined the dig. they discovered about 200 footprints, some stretching for 150 metres, making it the largest tracksite everfound in the uk and one of the biggest in the world. this is the first trackway that was discovered here. it was made by a sauropod, a huge long—necked dinosaur, but the team quickly realised it wasn't the only one, and they found footprints from two more sauropods, as well as from a smaller, meat—eating two—legged dinosaur called a megalosaur, and they think that there are plenty more of these waiting to be discovered here. the area was once a tropical lagoon,

and the tracks were made as the dinosaurs walked across the mud. but something happened that stopped the footprints from being washed away, possibly a storm that covered them up with sediment, perfectly preserving them. so the really lovely thing about a dinosaur footprint, particularly if you have a trackway, is that it is a snapshot in the life of the animal. you can learn things about how that animal moved. you can learn how fast it was moving. you can learn exactly what the environment that it was living in was like. so, tracks give us a whole different set of information that you can't get from the bone fossil record. we're coming up to a dinosaur crossroads. what you have here are footprints from a sauropod, and you can actually see as it pressed down into the mud how it created this ridge here. there is also a footprint from a smaller, two—legged, meat—eating dinosaur called

a megalosaur. and it was moving in this direction. the question is, which one walked through here first? and scientists think it was the sauropod, because you can see how the smaller megalosaur footprints slightly crushed down this ridge as it was walking through. at the oxford university museum of natural history, a megalosaurus specimen is one of the world's most important fossils. megalosaurus was the first dinosaur ever named anywhere in the world. so this exact fossil, this is the real one in my hands, this fossil started all of the last 200 years of dinosaur science. the whole animal would have been between six and nine metres in length. and in life, this animal would have had these impressive serrated teeth all the way along its jaw bone. these were agile, carnivorous predators. they were the largest predatory dinosaurs in thejurassic period in britain. the future fate of the trackways hasn't yet been decided. the quarrying will go

on here for several years. but palaeontologists think there are more footprints. echoes of our prehistoric past just waiting to be discovered. rebecca morelle, bbc news, oxfordshire. from art, to magic and music too, bradford will take centre stage this year as the uk's 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 david sillito has been finding out. thanks for that. making a show of me! well, it's your own fault. we don't want no negative talk. any road up, who else is it gonna be? bradford's city of culture, beginning with this — a radio play extolling the virtues of a city that's had its knocks over the years. the people that designed and built these buildings

looked at places like, you know, florence. i don't think people realise you can compare bradford with florence, but that vista. .. oh, it's fantastic, yeah. bradford 2025 is a chance to show a different side, such as its architecture. tim smith is a local photographer, keen to show off what he feels is its overlooked splendour. a splendour that's... well, let's just say they aren't london prices. top floor, views across the city. that staircase. 25 grand. 25 grand? nuts, isn't it? you'll be in a place and itjust look like a book shop. or you'll walk down the street and it'll look like any other street. but the trick is, is to look up, and then you see the splendour of the victorian architecture that bradford's all about. and for actor and writer natalie davies, here in rehearsal, this feels like a moment. you seem to be quite excited by this.

right now we're on the right platform. you know, outsiders are seeing this and seeing, actually, this is actually a great place. and the thing about bradford is anybody from anywhere can come to bradford and feel like they belong. and you can see that here, in the kitchen of akbar�*s. it's like the united nations here. and of course, if you're going to be talking about bradford culture, something that's gone around the world, we've got to talk about this. the naan tree. the giant hanging naan, a very yorkshire approach to mopping up a curry. the idea behind it was to save space. and as you know, in the restaurant industry, especially in akbar�*s, space is money. you seem proud of bradford? i am very proud of bradford. i was born and bred here. it's a fantastic place to live in. fantastic place to eat in. and, you know, you get to meet fantastic people. it shows the true spirit of bradford, you know,

and shows us in a good light. and for actor and screenwriter kat rose—martin, a hope that this might be a turning point. city of culture. what would you say is the main ambition they should have? i think it's about growing what is here. growing the talent that is here. you've got ambitions for bradford, haven't you? huge ambitions. this is my home. but i want to make my career here too. i want to build shondaland in bradford, a tv studio, theatre plays. and i would love if bradford 2025 can support those artists so that i've got people to employ, so that we make emmy—winning television in 10 or 20 years' time. bradford's given us david hockney, jb priestley, the brontes and this music... it's delius, also from bradford. it has quite a past. this year, it has hopes for the future. david sillito, bbc news, bradford. less and the programme where we began. let's take you back to new orleans and show you the live pictures this of course is the

entrance to bourbon street and officials in the news conference we were listening to told us they will be reopening bourbon street in about two and a half hours�* time, ahead of that huge sugar bowl event, a couege that huge sugar bowl event, a college football game that was postponed from yesterday. it is happening at three o�*clock local time and they plan to reopen bourbon street ahead of that. in that news conference we were hearing the fbi say it was an act of terrorism, it was premeditated and an evil act. apologies for the pictures flying around. but these are live pictures coming in from the scene. crucially saying the attacker had worked alone and had been inspired by islamic state. interest lang, authorities revealing that there was no credible threat to the new orleans new year�*s event prior to the attack. —— interestingly. importantly they said interestingly. importantly they said in the news briefing that there was no definitive link with the

explosion we saw outside of the trump hotel in las vegas, those are the live pictures from there because that was one of the lines that they were investigating. so those, the crucial lines coming from that news briefing that we were watching. there will be more from the authorities in new orleans. that is it from the programme today. thank you for watching and hopefully i will see you next time. goodbye for now. 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 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 two or 3c. 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 and that would likely cut off communities and bring some severe disruption. this boundary could change a little over the next few days.

at six — the fbi now says they believe this man — a us citizen and army veteran — acted alone in the new year�*s eve attack in new orleans which killed 14 people. they say shamsud—din jabbar had also planted two homemade bombs at the scene but they hadn�*t gone off. so far, no connection has been found with the tesla that exploded outside a trump hotel in las vegas. also tonight — cold weather health alerts as temperatures plummet across the uk. the rapper stormzy is banned from driving after he was caught using his mobile behind the wheel

in his rolls royce. and the long trail of dinosaur footprints, 166 million years old, that have been found in oxfordshire. and coming up on sportsday on bbc news, rangers take their first old firm derby win since 2023, but celtic still have a healthy 11—point lead at the top of the scottish premiership. the fbi says it now believes a 42—year—old us army veteran acted alone in the attack on new year�*s eve in new orleans that killed 14 people and wounded dozens more. shamsud—dinjabbar hired a pick—up truck and drove it at high sped into large crowds in the city�*s french quarter before he was shot dead. an islamic state flag was found on the back seat.

these are the faces of some of those who were killed —
