the kansas city chiefs remain on course for winning an unprecedented third successive super bowl after coming from behind to beat the buffalo bills 32—29 to win the afc championship in misouri. they become the first back—to—back champions to reach the nfl�*s showpiece. chiefs�* quarterback patrick mahomes came out on top against his bills counterpart, josh allen, to book their place in new orleans on 9th february. mahomes was delighted to do it on home soil. it is just so hard to get to a super bowl and i don't take it for granted. to be able to do it again at harrogate —— at arrowhead was so special. last year we were in a different stadium but to be able to win it at arrowhead and you get that trophy on that stage, you look around and there is not a seat empty. it is a special place and i am glad to be here

because these moments i will have for the rest of my life. we are motivated like crazy to win the — we are motivated like crazy to win the game. you get caught up in the _ win the game. you get caught up in the other stuff, the hype that— in the other stuff, the hype that goes with it, and you forget _ that goes with it, and you forget about third and one and detail— forget about third and one and detail on— forget about third and one and detail on that, you know? either_ detail on that, you know? either side of the ball. you have — either side of the ball. you have to _ either side of the ball. you have to keep everything in perspective and all that confetti is great, nothing like doing — confetti is great, nothing like doing it — confetti is great, nothing like doing it with your home fans, but it— doing it with your home fans, but it is— doing it with your home fans, but it is going to come down to a football— but it is going to come down to a football game. the chiefs will face the philadelphia eagles in super bowl 59 in a repeat of the final two years ago. the eagles ran out 55—23 winners over the washington commanders in philadelphia to clinch the nfc championship. afterwards, eagles coach nick sirianni defended jalen hurts after the quarterback came in for criticism this season. it is amazing how much doubt there is sometimes. i can't quite comprehend it. it doesn't

look like people think it should look like, but the guy has been clutch, he has won a tonne of football games. we don't care how we win, we don't care. the criticism is whatever, hejust care. the criticism is whatever, he just wins. care. the criticism is whatever, hejust wins. i said whatever, hejust wins. i said what i said after the game and thatis what i said after the game and that is how i feel. the future of manchester united's marcus rashford continues to be uncertain. united boss ruben amorim has suggested he'd rather have his 63—year—old goalkeeping coachjorge vital on the bench than the england forward because of a perceived lack of effort. rashford has not been involved in a matchday squad for united in 11 games and was once again missing froom sunday's 1—0 win at fulham in the premier league. it is the same situation for every player. if you do the maximum, if you do the right things we can use every player and you can see today on the bench we missed a little bit of pace to go, to change the game,

to move some pieces. i would put vito on before i would put on a player that doesn't give a maximum of everything so i would not change that part. in the women's super league, tottenham have have signed sweden defender josefine rybrink on a permanent deal until the end of the season. the 27—year—old joins as a free agent having recently made over 100 appearances for swedish side bk hacken, including 14 games in the women's champions league. within the last half—an—hour or so, hobart hurricanes have beaten sydney thunder to win the big bash. the hurricanes won by seven wickets with 35 balls remaining as they chased down a target of 183 in hobart. mitchell owen scored a 39 ball century, the joint—fastest in the competition's history, including an incredible 11 sixes. he was eventually caught on 108. west indies have won their first test in pakistan for 3h years.

jomel warrican ended the match figures of nine for 70 after taking five for 27 in the second innings as pakistan were skittled out forjust 133 on day three in multan. the windies 120 run win means they draw the series 1—1. australian open champion jannick sinner has been basking in his victory in melbourne. the italian cemented his place as the world number one by winning his third grand slam title by beating german alexander zverev in straights sets on sunday. on monday he paraded the trophy in front of the assembled media but sinner is already looking to add to his tally in the future. iam going i am going to enjoy this moment now. then a different storm —— tournament starts. i got to the semifinals last year so let's see what is coming there. it is a different surface where you have to have great confidence with the court, but let's see.

i am happy with this one and we will see in the future what i can achieve. over to rugby where 23—year—old alexander masibaka, who plays for soyaux—angouleme in the second tier of french rugby, has received a shock call—up to scotland's six nations squad. the australia—born forward replaces josh bayliss, who is expected to miss the tournament after being added to the growing list of unavailable players after he injured his groin playing for bath on sunday. masibaka, who's mother's from paisley in scotland and his fatherfrom fiji, was born in perth and played briefly for western force before being signed by french club montpellier in 2022. and that's all the sport for now. we will be back a little bit later. goodbye for now. as we have been reporting all morning, today is the 80th anniversary of the liberation

of the nazi concentration camp at auschwitz—birkenau. more than a million people, most of them jewish, were killed there before the soviet army permitted the camp. further relatives of the town were auschwitz was built, it casts a long shadow. i auschwitz was built, it casts a long shadow— long shadow. i remember the stories about _ long shadow. i remember the stories about the _ long shadow. i remember the stories about the smoke. - long shadow. i remember the stories about the smoke. my | stories about the smoke. my mother said the stench of human flesh. my father didn't know how to explain what was this awful stench. how to explain what was this awfulstench. how how to explain what was this awful stench. how do you answer that question to a small child? funnier than 30 years, miroslav has worked as a tour guide here

at 97 macro state new system —— at 97 macro state new system —— a state museum. he is a historian by trade, but going up historian by trade, but going up neck to the nazis deadliest concentration camp drew him to history much closer to home. i am here from the town. it has a 900—year—old history. now the town lives in the shadow of this history. i remember the main gates, the barix, the barbed wire. i remember asking my father what it means, what happened here and he didn't want to tell me. miroslav says his grandfather often sought the prisoners of auschwitz, some of them were forced to work in local factories as slave labour.— work in local factories as slave labour. they tried to hel , slave labour. they tried to help. to — slave labour. they tried to help. to give _ slave labour. they tried to help, to give them - slave labour. they tried to . help, to give them something slave labour. they tried to - help, to give them something to eat when they were passing by.

congratulated donald trump on the ceasefire in gaza. the two spoke over the phone yesterday for the first time since the inauguration of donald trump last week. it was a diplomatic victory for sir keir starmer that this call took place this week. he has not spoken to any other european leader yet. sir keir starmer is the first and that has been taken as a diplomatic achievement by the uk government. it does sound, both from the readout as it is termed that we got from downing street and the one from the white house that it was a fairly warm conversation. they talked about the middle east and sir keir starmer prayed donald trump about bringing the ceasefire and hostage release deal. they talked about the economy and that sir keir starmer talked about his plans

to deregulate the uk economy. that was clearly an temp two appeal to donald trump as my sensibilities. we also know that they talked about the royal family because when it comes to the uk it is always worth remembering that donald trump, whose mother was scottish, absolutely loves and has deep affection for the royal family. but royalfamily. but henry, in royal family. but henry, in the readout for the colts, did you spot any differences in the tone between the two? ., differences in the tone between thetwo? ., . ., , differences in the tone between thetwo? ., . , the two? not particularly, but there were — the two? not particularly, but there were glaring _ the two? not particularly, but there were glaring omissions. j there were glaring omissions. and they talked about the economy, 0k, sir keir starmer might have talked about his desire to reel —— and regulate the uk economy, but the reason they are talking about the economy is donald trump as talked about potentially imposing global tariffs and that would be damaging for the uk economy. that is something that the uk government is desperate to avoid. that will have been a big chunk of the 45 minute phone call. they talked

about the chagos islands, this deal that the uk side with the mauritius government. but some allies of donald trump have been much more circumspect, cautious even about this deal. that could be a big moment for the relationship. we don't know that they talked about the uk government's plan to make peter mandelson the ambassador to the us. people around donald trump certainly have views on that, urging him to block that appointment. there are all sorts of tensions underlying about what was for now a very positive call. hello again. storm herminia is making its presence felt across our shores, so named by the spanish met service because of the impacts in spain. but the met office also has a couple of yellow weather warnings in force connected with the storm. so, wind for southern parts

of england and wales valid until 6am tomorrow morning, and rain for wales valid until midnight tonight. so, we've got the rain that crossed us through the morning and overnight pushing up towards north—east scotland and rotating around the low pressure which is this storm. we've got squally showers — some heavy, some merging to give longer spells of rain — some hail and thunder mixed in there, and gusty winds — the strongest across the west and also the south. temperature—wise, around about average for the time of year. we're looking six to about nine degrees. as we head on through the rest of the afternoon and into the evening and overnight period, the rain continues to push northeastwards across scotland. we continue with this rash of showers moving across england, wales and northern ireland, some of those will be wintry on highest ground. the winds will slowly start to ease, but it still will be blustery tonight, and we're looking at two to seven degrees as our overnight lows. tomorrow, the low pressure, which is this storm, continues to drift towards the east, and then we've got another

low pressure coming in from the atlantic. so, during the course of tuesday, all these showers continue to push eastwards. it will be brighter behind, but it's still going to be blustery. and we've got a cold northerly wind blowing in some showers across the north of scotland. temperatures seven to about ten degrees north to south. so we say goodbye to the low pressure that's the storm. and then we've got this next area of low pressure coming in. now, there's still a little bit of uncertainty as to just how far north the rain will come. this is what we think at the moment across some southern counties of england. but it could push a little bit further north than that. some showers coming in on the northwesterly wind, but in between, a quieter day. a lot of dry weather around. temperatures seven to about ten degrees. and then, looking beyond that, well, as we head through thursday, it's looking like it's going to be dry for most of us. more settled, and it continues more settled as we head into the ensuing days.

but there will still be some rain on the cards. i'm lucy hockings in auschwitz, this is bbc news.
