england's efforts with the bat. i think it is about path. it has been a real tough day. in all of my experience for playing for england, i cannot remember a day where in the first three hours consistently as it has done today. england battled hard on the losing four makers. i think thatis on the losing four makers. i think that is a ready fair score. we're inside the final half an hour of transfer deadline day. dramatic developments in short supply, itbut some late activity to discuss with our correspondent, david ornstein. david, it concerns chelsea striker michy batshuayi... it does indeed. and 11 alec deal appears to be on the cards. he was on loan from chelsea fife valencia. they terminated the guilt. chelsea offered him a round. but they bitten on debates on the back we should say. he is in talks. the talks are ongoing. nothing has been agreed yet. the clock starts ticking. all parties are hoping that this is the deal we have been waiting for. parties are hoping that this is the dealwe have been waiting for. on

come on, england! england — world cup semifinalists. and they would face croatia — possibly a weary one after more extra time and penalties. this was a match too far for russia. at least they didn't have too far to get home. as for brazil, beaten by belgium and de bruyne. might have a go here. does! it's a scorcher! the first semifinal for them for over 30 years. france looked to be peaking atjust the right time, although a uruguayan flap flattered the french. they fully deserved their place in the last four. there was an all—european line—up in the semifinals, france and belgium both claiming to have a golden generation. two teams packed with stars, going head to head for a place in the world cup final. it should be an absolute cracker. it wasn't really that in st petersburg, not that france minded one bit. in goes the corner. into the net from samuel umtiti! france strike first in the semifinal! just the one goal decided it. france now one match away from football's greatest prize. but who would they meet? the moment has come. e

the game has gone for england. picking two spinners become a good idea in theory, but you normally use the backing of the game in this game is not going to go very far past three days. west indies have that very healthy lead now. already it is overfor england, very healthy lead now. already it is over for england, what willjoe root be saying to his team? you have to try to pretend to believe but they know this game is gone. if you get 77 all out the first innings, it is difficult to win a match. they will play for pride out, second innings and try to get as close as they can but west indies have a huge lead on a tricky pitch. this will be one nailed to the west indies. thank you for joining nailed to the west indies. thank you forjoining us. nailed to the west indies. thank you for joining us. —— nailed to the west indies. thank you forjoining us. —— 1— 02. now to the football where there was an air of inevitability about tonight's league cup semi final. tottenham went into tonight's game against chelsea

i am excited every time i get to chase down our coach england. i love the way that the barca coach england. i love the way that we really come into our own. the england head coach with our rugby union correspondent chrisjones there now, scotland also named their team today for their opening match against italy. and the big news there is that sam johnson will make his international debut. the australian—born centre has really stood out for glasgow over the last couple of seasons and head coach gregor townsend says. green that you need a body of work behind you. you need to perform at the highest level. ten years ago he played some excellent games, last season he was voted player of the season. and she has also played well this year, when he has had the opportunities. but the action of course starts in paris tomorrow night. wales had their captain's run in the stade de france this afternoon, and they're looking to extend their 9—match unbetean run with a win against france. and you can look ahead to all of the action right here on sportsday tom

clearly thatis southern england as well. clearly that is a recipe for some disruption in some areas. definitely a date to frequently check the weather forecast. briefly, how long is the snow expected to last, through the weekend not? we will see the system continued into tomorrow morning. another weather system coming in from the atlantic on sunday. running into cold air, that will have sleet and snow on the leading edge as well. next week looking less cold. let's talk about the united states. and why its so cold. the weather pattern is have changed high in the atmosphere in the polar regions, the wind and flow and when that happens it can bring down anomalous cold air to where we live across northern parts of europe and north america. that is exactly what happened here and you don't see it very often, you are talking once in a generation cold having a huge impact. we know it's dangerous as well. things are going to change. it made the bitterly cold there right now but as you look into the future of the weekend in chicago te

the quad series involving england, australia, south africa and new zealand kicks off today — and england have made a very good start by beating new zealand. our reporter emily croydon is in liverpool... dominant win on paper, does that reflect what happened on court? absolutely, england made an incredibly impressive start to this series. they equalled the record victory against new zealand with that 13 goal margin. there was a lot of talk before the match about how much an improved outfit new zealand has been. in september, they got a new coach and new players, it was england who got confident and flew an on court. scratched away in a scintillating second—half. the first half was tight. it was goal for goal. very very tight through the first half, very intense. the one goal in england's favour in the break. an indication that tracy does not know the best side if it was spent. both end of the court working really well for england as they stretched away in the third quarter. in the final quarter, the england goal defence was removed from the court forfiling. did goal defence was removed

this is england in 2019. in a doorway of a shop selling thousand pound mattresses, ten rough sleepers seek rest. more than a600 people sleep outside each night, 2% lower than last year, 165% higher than 2010. i was in and out of doorways before. my mate said, do you need a tent? when has been rough sleeping for five years, forced from home, tent? when has been rough sleeping forfive years, forced from home, he says, after his marriage collapsed. why don't you take up shelter? you end up being bullied or picked on, don't you? i would rather be outside, its safer. don't you? i would rather be outside, it's safer. it safer? 0therwise outside, it's safer. it safer? otherwise i would feel my own. in greater manchester city centre, they have seen more rough sleepers, but numbers have fallen in the wider region. this newly opened hostel is pa rt region. this newly opened hostel is part ofan region. this newly opened hostel is part of an initiative by mayor andy burnham to provide a bed for rough sleepers or winter.

i'm from england. huh? england! i was lucky that the bus driver was nearby waiting, so it was really easy to find the bus. yeah, i've got it. let go, let go. new orleans was the first place i went to by myself — a foreign city by myself. didn't know where i was going, i was blind, and ijust froze. and then i took a couple of deep breaths and said to myself, "tony, this is what you want. "if you don't want it, go home." a couple more deep breaths, turn left, walk down the street, and the rest is history. excuse me, are you hear me...? this is your stop station. my stop? yes. 0k. you can get off. 0k, thank you. you want any help? i'm good. just trying to get my bearings, trying to work out which way the traffic‘s going, and if i can use the sunlight, but i can't sense any sun at all. i have to be careful going down the steps, because they're all marble and very slippery and worn so i have to go slowly and take care. no, no, it's ok. yeah, yeah, yeah. yeah. all right, thank you. two people came to try and help me,

you call the book middle england, and specifically it is about england rather than britain. in a sense, itjuxtaposes london metropolitanism with provincialism, as identified in the second city of birmingham, which isjust down the motorway from london. you are personally from the birmingham area. you know the provinces very well, and i guess the books you have written suggest you understand the provinces pretty well. but you have actually chosen to live your life in the heart of metropolitan chelsea in london. yes. so who are you? i'm both, which i think is what puts me in a position to be able to write this book. probably the only advantageous position that my background will ever give me, i suspect. one of the most influential things on my thinking that i read when i was preparing this book was anthony barnett‘s book about brexit, the lure of greatness. he divides the united kingdom up into five entities: northern ireland, scotland, wales, england without london, and london. and he says that brexit was won by england without london. i thought, right, that is the area i wa

england is an east— west split. eastern england, the pennines, the midlands, the isle of wight, more cloud, showers as well, rain showers at that, continuing close to the coast, breaking up further west, brightening up in england, cloud towards the isles of scilly, the weather front introducing the cooler weather front introducing the cooler weather with some drizzle here. across the board and away from the eastern coast, wind is white, so even though temperatures into single figures, it shouldn't feel bad. into tonight, the cloud comes and goes for the east of england, especially east anglia, showers close to the coast. more cloud for western scotland, northern ireland, so the frost and not as harsh or widespread, but northern england, central scotland, south—west wales have a wide —— widely frosty start. a lot more sunshine for the north—east of england and more cloud for east anglia and the south—east at times. and more broken cloud for northern ireland and western scotland. temperatures in single figur

it's a a big yearfor england's cricketers. they begin their tour of the west indies in the next week or so, but they'll host the world cup this summer before the ashes series starts in august. 0ur sports correspondentjoe wilson was at lord's today, where ashley giles was speaking publicly for the first time since taking over as the ecb‘s director of cricket. well as england was mad men for the caribbean, lords awaits the summer. potentially of course, this could be english cricket's biggest ever year with the world cup and the ashes being staged in england and wales. ashley giles told me that essentially, his job is to steer england's ship as managing director. he played tribute to the work that andrew strauss had done in that role, in particular the way that strauss had overseen a step change in the way that england use white ball cricket, of course the pinnacle of white ball cricket is the 50 over world cup, staged this year in england and wales, so the question for ashley giles, as we sit here now, do you believe that eng

only one man captained england's one—day team. the 2019 successfully in your mind, does have to involve england lifting the world cup? i think at some stage over the next ten years, it would be a mess of me to say it would be disappointing if we didn't win some silverware. because everything has been building towards a? it always is, through every world cup, the aspiration is to lift the trophy at the end. i think with this group of players and with the age being quite young, this is the first chance to live the sugar. eoin morgan leads the one day of the caribbean, in february. but after their recent form, everyone just expect england to win, right through to the world cup final in london mid—july. it's important to be inspired by that favouritism. you cannot be wilting underneath that? not at all. wearing that favourites tag is something that we have grown co mforta ble tag is something that we have grown comfortable with. previous series, public up until five or six series ago, we will not favourites going into any away fixtu

wintry showers feeding down across scotland, into parts of north—east england. some of them may get down to parts of wales as well through sunday afternoon. some sunshine in between but it will feel bitterly cold, given the strength of the winds. north or northwesterly winds. this is an idea of gusts through the day, quite widely a0 or 50 mph, some northern, western and eastern coasts could see gusts reaching 60 mph. temperatures on sunday much lower than they have been in the last few days. generally 4—8 celsius. add on the strength of the wind and particularly across northern ireland, scotland and northern england, it is going to feel sub zero, a bitterly cold day. as we go from sunday into monday, slowly, we start to lose the wintry showers from the east coast. the winds start to die down a little and we see increasingly clear skies as we go into monday morning. more cloud across northern ireland, still some wintry showers and more cloud in the far south—west of england. here, we should just about escape a frost but everywhere else, it will be a cold, fro

england and wales so the for ashley giles... as we sit here now, do you believe england will win the world cup? i believe we can win the world cup, and the ashes but it's a very different thing. should... this year creates the best opportunity for a long time. how we are playing cricket, we found ourselves in the past running into world cups with suddenly that of a meltdown going on and change, and that's not the case this time around. you talk about my role again, as much as anything, the train is moving quickly across the tracks for the world cup and i need to make sure that down the line, it is clear, there is no in —— interference that is going to derail us. one of the key jobs giles has is to get a new england coach in september, october and told me he was open to the idea of the role being split between test matches and white ball cricket, even though when england tried that before and ashley giles had been the white ball coach, it ended in giles losing hisjob. stephane peterha nsel won stage 3 of the dakar rally in th

we know it is not just england. there are towns in scotla nd just england. there are towns in scotland are struggling as well, and in northern ireland there is a real problem with general practice as well. the headlines on bbc news: labour's sir keir starmer calls for the prime minister to negotiate a deal with brussels which includes a customs union and says another public vote on brexit has to be an option. doctors‘ leaders say there is a ‘shocking' variation in the availability of gps in different parts of england. the actor windsor davies, best known for his role as the sergeant major in the bbc comedy "it ain't half hot mum", has died at the age of 88. in poland the funeral for pawel adamowicz, the mayor of gdansk, has been held. he was stabbed on stage whilst speaking to a crowd last week. thousands of citizens have been paying their respects. earlier i spoke to the bbc‘s reporter who is in gdansk, and he told me what the late mayor meant to the city and to the country as a whole. he was a very significant figure for the city of gdansk. many peop

some sleet and snow mainly over the hills of northern england and into scotland. a touch of frost but frost not far away at all tonight but not the low temperatures that we had last night. the temperatures did not really rise very much at all the day of the hills of scotland and northern england. simpson shaffer on the eastern side of the country. not much for northern england but wonder whether still there across wales in the southwest when shelley bursts of rain to the southeast of england and much of the midlands and east anglia and maybe drive for most of the day with a few showers in the morning perhaps an fine weather for the most pa rt perhaps an fine weather for the most part in the afternoon but a lot of cloud. doorfor most part in the afternoon but a lot of cloud. door for most of us with some sunshine in norma scotland and we could get a bit in the east and perhaps some heavy showers in the southwest of england. double figure temperatures here and much colder for the north and east at around 5 degrees or so. we should tend to lose those showers overnigh

for a while it looked like the poor batting was catching as england's bowlers picked up catching as england's bowlers picked up where they left off. when ali got rid of craig braithwaite with west indies on 52 it prompted a mini collapse. four more followed with just nine months. but that was as good as it got, after the ship was steadied. sam curran took care before there could be too much damage. england would eventually face the highest test case at this ground. and we had more drama this evening — this time in the football as chelsea provided the perfect response to manager maurizio sarri's public criticism to progress to the league cup final by beating tottenham 11—2 on penalties in a thrilling semi—final second leg. joe wilson was there. this was a football match under scrutiny. while fans were warned about anti—semitic language, police patrolled the streets before kickoff. we certainly heard a word, but chelsea's match programme urged supporters not to use it. under scrutiny on the pitch, chelsea under ritzier sari. he wants kante to become a goalscorer and this had enough to g

across the far east of england. once again, it will be chilly — temperatures of 5—7 degrees. as we head on into next week, for the early part of next week, a weather front sweeps southwards, bringing outbreaks of rain and some snow, followed by blustery, wintry showers and sunny spells. but as we head deeper into next week, we start to lose the cold, northerly winds, and start to pick up something from the north—east. it looks like this could be even colder and it could also drive some snow showers across the north sea into our shore. so next week is staying cold, with some sleet and snow for some of us. welcome to bbc news, broadcasting to viewers in north america and around the globe. i'm reged ahmad. our top stories: president trump and north korea's leader kim jong—un are to meet for a second summit next month, with hopes for progress on de—nuclearisation. we've had very good steps in good faith from the north koreans, in releasing the hostages and other moves. and so, we're going to continue those con

well, as england was mad men for the caribbean, lords awaits the summer. potentially of course, this could be english cricket's biggest ever year with the world cup and the ashes being staged in england and wales. ashley giles told me that essentially, his job is to steer england's ship as managing director. he paid tribute to the work that andrew strauss had done in that role, in particular the way that strauss had overseen a step change in the way that england use white ball cricket, of course the pinnacle of white ball cricket is the 50 over world cup, staged this year in england and wales, so the question for ashley giles, as we sit here now, do you believe that england will win the world cup this year? i believe we can win the world cup. i believe we can win that and the ashes, but it's a very different thing from will. should? this year creates probably the best opportunity for how we're playing our cricket. i think we found ourselves in the past running in two world cups with suddenly a bit of a meltdown, going on and change. that's not the case thi

there is a renewed commitment from nhs england to expand the number of gps wi—fi thousand. that is a commitment the previous health secretary jeremy hunt first made and has been backed again by the current health secretary, but they have readily acknowledge that this is proving more difficult than they integrated and ultimately it takes time to train more gps but we must forget there are many orders gps who with there are many orders gps who with the right support would be willing to stay on and provide more care to their patients. but they care and support to able to do that. and social care reform and something that society is not recognising as a big part of the future of health care. “— big part of the future of health care. —— is now recognising as a big part. how much investment is needed for this and how would fit in with the role of gps? one of the concern is what the long—term plan is it a silent on social care and the real need to put investment indecision —— into social care. we know how much pressure oui’ into social care. we know how much pressu

the average gp in england has around 1700 patients. rushcliffe in nottinghamshire has fewer than 1002 and a patient for every gp. but in kent, each gp has more than 3300 patients to deal with. this difference is quite shocking. it suggests there are areas of the country that are struggling to get sufficient numbers of gps to deliver the care that patients need. there could be other reasons for this variation. the different type of patient population and the needs of those people. but a threefold difference is surprising. the nhs says it is boosting gp recruitment and wants to get an additional 5000 into practice. more are being trained than a decade ago, but the royal college of gps says they are still 6000 short because surgeries are under pressure. even in a well served area, we are under pressure. even in a well served area, we are are under pressure. even in a well served area, we are struggling to get dean of gps to fill the post. we are relying on locums and there are some places who keep advertising and get nobody. it is a nice

passengers in the north of england suffered the most in 2018. but across britain, delays and cancellations have risen to their highest level in 17 years. with fares now going up again, passenger groups say we're not getting value for money. it's much easier to swallow a price increase if you think you're getting value, and at the moment, too many trains are still too late. too many people are late getting to work and getting home again, cancellations, and i think it's really hard to talk about a fare increase when you're not getting what you're paying for. yes, there have been some really tough moments in the last 12 months and i'm really sorry about that. but we are seeing now, on some of the lines affected... on the thameslink lines around london there are brand—new, longer trains and more services. in the north over the coming weeks we will start to see the roll—out of the new trains there. this is part of a massive investment programme in trying to make rail in this country better. from today, tickets increased by roughly 3% in england a
