2:48 pm
although, especially the second half performance was something that was quite similar to the performances i see currently. arsenal are currently second in the table, and arteta admit they need a new striker. he is struggling in this transfer window to find the right one. they are very short of attacking options. but he says he won't buy for the sake of it. ~ .,, ., , he won't buy for the sake of it. we lost two very important -la ers. it. we lost two very important players- so — it. we lost two very important players- so we _ it. we lost two very important players. so we like _ it. we lost two very important players. so we like goals, - players. so we like goals, people, options in the front line. we can't get the right players, that is why we are actively looking at it. any player now, someone who makes us better and has an impact on the team. the period that we lost them, ideally, we need some help. we are very short already and we are even shorter. already and we are even shorter-— already and we are even shorter. . , ., ., shorter. finally, how about this from — shorter. finally, how about this from the _ shorter. finally, how about this from the nba. - shorter. finally, how about this from the nba. he - shorter. finally, how about. this from the nba. he threw shorter. finally, how about - this from the nba. he threw the ball from 66 feet away at the

end of the third quarter. and somehow managed to beat sacramento. definitely worth another look. not a surprise that he is in the running for the most valuable player with skills like that. that is all your support for now. back to you. let's bring you up—to—date with the latest news from the us. in the last few minutes donald trump has boarded air force one to head to north carolina and then north angeles. he spoke to reporters outside the white house and this is what he said.- this is what he said. hello, everybody- _ this is what he said. hello, everybody. thank - this is what he said. hello, everybody. thank you - this is what he said. hello, everybody. thank you very| this is what he said. hello, - everybody. thank you very much. north carolina has been a horrible thing. we are going to get it fixed up. it is going to be done —— it should have been done months ago from the harry kane that took place almost four months ago. north carolina has been treated very badly so we are stopping there and then
2:50 pm
down to los angeles. we will take a look at a fire that could have been put out if they let the water flow, but they didn't let the water flow. they still haven't for whatever reason so i think we are going to have an interesting time. i think many of you are down with us, if you would like to have a right in the plane, we would love to give it to you. donald trump there _ love to give it to you. donald trump there with _ love to give it to you. donald trump there with milani - trump there with milani alongside him. he was heading to north carolina and la. then we will keep you up to date. on monday, the world will mark the 80th anniversary of the liberation of auschwitz—birkenau. opened by the nazis in occupied poland in 19110 as a concentration and labour camp, it ulimately became the most notorious extermination camp. more than one million people were murdered there, the majority of them jews. the 27th january also marks holocaust memorial day to remember the six million jews killed during the second world war. lucy hockings has been speaking to tova friedman, an american author and therapist, and one of the youngest auschwitz survivors. tova survived the german extermination camp at the age
2:51 pm
of just six—years—old. originally from poland, she moved to the us with her parents. lucy started by asking tova about her feelings as the 80th anniversary approaches. what i want the world to do is to please remember. remember us and let it be a lesson to the world. what can happen if we're not careful, and how we can easily destroy each other if we don't stop this horrible, terrible, fury that is around the world right now. so i want the world to remember us and to learn from it. so many of us struggle to remember things from when we were small. how much do you remember of your time there? i remember an awful lot because, as i mentioned before,
2:52 pm
i think that my mother would tell me, yes, she said, that smoke, yes. burning bodies. she never covered up anything. and she said yes, those dogs, those german shepherds, they are trained to kill, but only if you run. so you're not going to run. you're going to stay. you're going to stay very still. she taught me survival skills. that is an incredible gift over those survival skills that your mother gave you. but there were other things that happened in auschwitz that meant you survived when others didn't. can you tell us your story from there? at one time, i was beaten terribly because i couldn't stand, you know, stand still at roll call. these roll calls were three hours, four hours. i was five and a half.
2:53 pm
i wasn't even six. and i was beaten by this gestapo. a woman, in fact, because she didn't like that i was moving around and not standing still. and i remember my mother's eyes said to me, hold on, don't cry. and she says something else. years, maybe months earlier. don't have eye contact. so i remember as this woman was beating me, i did not look at her eyes. i looked at her forehead. i didn't make a sound because my mother had once told me, the more you show that they hurt you, the more pleasure they get. that was the mantra in auschwitz. don't show. don't give them the satisfaction. suffer in silence. beatings. hunger. freezing weather. barefoot.
2:54 pm
being barefoot, that's a survival skill. don't let them know who you are. eye contact is something that people recognise. don't look into anybody�*s eyes. that is an incredible survival skill for such a little girl, as well, to have learnt and been taught by your mother. i understand that there was a trip for you to the gas extermination chamber, and itjust happened to be that one day that it malfunctioned. we really don't know what happened because we don't have the exact date. but i remember going there and i remember, i thought to myself, why are people unhappy? because i was, i and my whole group, my whole barrack of children, were going to the gas chamber together.
2:55 pm
we were like win pairs. and when we got there and we were addressed, you know, one of the ways that the humanity, ties us is, addressed us. people without clothing have much less identity. we had no hair, no clothes, tattooed, and here we stood waiting for the shower door to open. we knew what it was. everybody knew, except they gave us some kind of a small towel and said, ok, here are your clothes. make sure you find your clothes when you come out. were we going to come out? i don't know.
2:56 pm
it's very hard to... your own death. but i remember standing there shivering, very, very hungry. and yet i was waiting for the door to open so we could go in, because i thought, that's life. that's how it is. american author and therapist and one of the youngest auschwitz survivors. stay with us here on bbc news. thank you for being with us. matthew is up next. hello there. good afternoon. storm eowyn is a very powerful windstorm indeed. and it's moving very slowly northwards and eastwards for the rest of the day. we've seen two red warnings for the strength of the winds expire in the isle of man and across northern ireland. but there's still another met office red warning in place for southern and central areas of scotland, including the central belt. it's the highest level of alert, a danger to life
2:57 pm
within that red warning area. and here is the storm, the strongest gusts of wind, tight squeeze on the isobars, towards the southern flank of that low. this is the red warning area. this is in place until 5:00 later on this afternoon. widespread gusts of 80—90 miles an hour, with isolated gusts, particularly towards western coasts and across these islands in the west of up to 100 miles an hour, and it's been extended further south into dumfries and galloway. there's a wider amber warning in place, too, with gusts of 60 to 70 miles an hour. higher gusts of 80 to 90 always possible towards the south. the amber is in place until 9:00 this evening, but across northern scotland, the northern isles until saturday morning at 6:00. so, this is the rest of the day, wintry showers over 300m in scotland — there will be blizzard like conditions here. further south there will be some sunshine but it remains very windy throughout the day. wherever you are, with gusts of wind of a0 to 80 miles an hour, possibly higher than that towards the coast and the hills. you see in these
2:58 pm
black circles here, these will be the temperatures despite the sunshine. they will be slipping through the day behind the cold front. so it is quite chilly by the end of the afternoon and it will stay cold overnight. tonight, an area of rainjust pushing west to east here. still some wintry showers across parts of scotland. strongest gusts of wind, northern scotland, the northern isles and there could be some icy stretches with those winds lighten across wales, southwest england and into central southern england, with those dropping temperatures there. saturday, you can see how well the isobars are now spaced across the southern half of the uk, so the winds are falling a lot lighter here. it will be largely dry and there will be some sunshine around, but still the gales continue across northern and western scotland. still very blustery here. with another band of rain just pushing into northern ireland by the time we get to the end of the afternoon, and still feeling rather chilly despite the sunshine. as we head through sunday, for many it is largely dry during the daylight hours, heavy rain and again strong gusty winds by the evening.
3:00 pm
