so england have their biggest win away from home in more than a decade — and the former england bowler derek pringle says they're moving in the right direction, but their next series in sri lanka will showjust how good they are. i think over the last ten years, england's results overseas have been pretty poor. the exception of that has been south africa. the last time they played pretty well there and this time, they have not won it yet, need to not lose the last test in johannesburg. i think last time in sri lanka they played really well in conditions very different from the one in south africa. it will be interesting to see where they are. i think sri will probably not play on a spinning picture is likely to last time, because that brought every spinner to the game, notjust their own. it will be interesting to see going forward what england will do. test champion points cancels that important cricket. we will have an idea where the young side are once they have toured sri lanka. they are doing well at the moment. hopefully, that confidence can't go forward to not only be test next we

england's day for england's knights. adam wild, bbc news. a little earlier, i spoke to england cricketer kate cross to get her assesment of the days play. she says the bowlers deserve the credit for putting england back on top. i think as an england fan, i'm very happy, especially going into the start of the day. i think there was a lot of talk yesterday about being 100 short in the first inning. so i think when we saw that jimmy anderson wicket at the start of the day, we know the ball had a lot of work to do, a lot of hard work. but to be honest, i think they bowled exceptionally well today. there was a middle phase of the game where there is a big partnership that built between vander huson and elgar. so i think that it's actually a good day to be an england bowler, they worked really hard and got the awards. and i think england came out on top. how do you think don bowler did? how do you think don bowler did7|j how do you think don bowler did?|j think how do you think don bowler did?” think he's a bit of an unsung hero today. i can't m

actually coincided with england's upturn in form in south africa. mark wood came in for the last match and bowled around 90mph.. england would love the option of a second bowler who can do the same. he's been stepping up his recovery in the nets today — and impressed assistant coach graham thorpe. he bowled well today, these speeds we re he bowled well today, these speeds were good, 6—7 overs, sojust getting his rhythm, and he suffered with his elbow in the last couple of weeks, but that pain is decreasing. on the evidence to date, that is good, and we will see how he backs it up again tomorrow. britain's chris froome will make his return to competitive cycling next month, at the uae tour, as he continues his recovery from career—threatening injuries suffered last summer. the four time tour de france winner broke his leg, hip and fractured ribs, when he crashed into a wall at high speed during a training ride at the criterium du dauphine in france last summer. and we'll leave you with this, as the british freestyle skier kirsty muir has won bi

he opened england's batting, not easy. he played because rory burns had to hurt himself playing football. south africa don't need extra help, and england's training football games are now banned. there batting here was stop start or start stop. going for 34. captain joe was stop start or start stop. going for 34. captainjoe route deflected the ball to the wicketkeeper he made 35. he is a frustrating numbers —— these are frustrating numbers. joe gently did so much hard work and then... 38 for him. still, step forward bend stokes. a good firm hit. these are the moments you realise so many of cape town's spectators were england fans. it isa town's spectators were england fans. it is a very dryjanuary in that son. stokes did next, or perhaps don't. besides, still couldn't believe it. going for 27. england cosmic intermittent endings threatened to stop. that was current gone. they got to 262 for nine, thanks mainly to all the pope, just turning 22. his innings weren't quite table mounted, it was high enough to give england

england champions in the nations cup. had an experimenté here, england had an experimental team here, they are also getting used to a new coaching set up, but this was a new coaching set up, but this was a good opportunity for them to challenge new zealand, the world champions. they were lacking a lot of experience and at the squad that they won the back in the world cup injuly. this arena was full, you could feel the buzz still from the world cup, but with england's to regular shooters taking a break from international netball, they really struggle to forge a partnership in that shooting circle. they tried a few different combinations about early ca rdwell was few different combinations about early cardwell was the only one who took her opportunity. experienced defenders, but some are hotly fold with tracey neville. overall, england fell well short of the world champions, just lacking that fluidity and consistency in the shooting end. the third quarter was when the real damage was done, this long stretch down to a ten goal lead, after that, england could do very little about it in at

eastern parts of england seeing the best of the sunshine here. strong and gusty winds quite widely, perhaps easing off in the north—west later on as the rain starts to clear and temperatures drop away. ahead of that, we're looking at 11—13 degrees. very mild once again. now, that weather front will eventually take that rain across the whole of the country on saturday night, and then we'll introduce this showery airstream coming in from the atlantic, and that will bring in with it some cooler air as well. not too cold to start the second half of the weekend because there'll be a fair bit of around. we've still got temperatures perhaps in double figures across the south—east. colder air in scotland certainly. we've still rain to clear from south—eastern england first thing on sunday, and then a fair bit of and showers coming in, even pushing eastwards across england and wales. that's the morning. in the afternoon, most of those have gone. the showers restricted more towards the north—west of scotland, where it is quite a bit colder. tempe

england needed eight wickets. it went down to the last hour of the final session and guess who england turned to? ben stokes, with three wickets, to help england win in cape town for the first time since 1957 and level the four test series at 1—1. south africa looked to be frustrating england for much of the day with pieter malan batting for almost six hours in the second innings before he fell for 8h. quiton de kock resisted for 3h overs too before he clipped joe denly‘s part time leg spin to mid—wicket. zac crawley‘s juggling act gave ben stokes his second wicket in two balls and the allrounder kept running in — bowling at nearly 90 mph, and he grabbed the last wicket in the final hour. a huge boost for us going forward. test cricket has been a bit of a talking point recently in terms of how many days you can play for but today has shown what should be five days in the first two series is great for the game of cricket. we have a few days off to get our feet up and get our energy back up. hopefully we c

england's lead is beyond 250. any more madness and magic, it will be impossible for south africa to catch up. chelsea extended their unbeaten women's super league run to 10 matches today and their new high profile signing, sam kerr, had a significant part to play as they beat reading by 3 goals to 1. they're now four points behind the league leaders arsenal with a game in hand. miriam walker—khan reports. two years of conversations led to this moment. a player megan rapinoe called the best in the world is making a new home at kings meadow. her first chance in the game camejust a minute in. and it was out of character. reading have been called the "comeback queens" this season, and as another strike came in, it was overshadowed seconds later at the opposite end by reading's grace maloney storming out of the net to take out sam kerr. not the warmest welcome to english football. but sam kerr wasn't dwelling on it. a cheeky back heel assist to another player, who was composed enough to get it around the keeper and e

yet another pause has been recommended for trains in the north of england. today's leaked hs2 review not only suggest that the final price tag could be bigger than the education budget, at £106 billion, but that it is another amber light for the line when it reaches birmingham. it was supposed to split at that point, with two branches heading to manchester and leeds. but this review suggests finding out if a mix of high speed unconventional trains could be used for the upper sections instead. london on the south gets whatever it wants, and then it is all about a penny pinching in the north. i would say this to the prime minister and the government might 90, minister and the government might go, this is yourfirst big test minister and the government might go, this is your first big test of your commitment to the north of england. we are watching very closely. you know, in my mind, there is no justification at all for doing one thing between london and birmingham and then doing something different in the north. business leaders in the north are chomping at th

a bit more cloud across east anglia and southeast england. but light winds for many. quite a windy day, though, across the northern and western scotland. those gusts could touch 50 or 55 miles an hour, or 55 miles an hour, 10 or 11 celsius here or 6—9 celsius elsewhere, but closer to freezing where that fog is slow to clear. and another cold and frosty start to tuesday morning across central and southern england. but gradually, those frost will start to lift as the week wears on. this is tuesday. high pressure still with us. this frontal system trying to push its way southward, but running into an area of high pressure. so really no rain on it, butjust a lot more cloud around on tuesday. again, some problems with overnight mist and fog. a cloudy day for many, but still some bright or sunny spells, the best of which will be along eastern coast. and where that fog is slow to clear, again, it's going to be quite a cold day on tuesday across parts of england and wales. but getting closer to double figures across parts of scotland and northern i

but england stuck to their guns the balance. but england stuck to theirguns in the balance. but england stuck to their guns in the process, absolutely stunning, ben stokes change the momentum of the game with his 72 and the man himself, the last hour, when you want something from the special players ben stokes held his hand up, absolutely brilliant, took the last three wickets, what a victory by england and away soil. they have not won many in the last 20 odd games so brilliant performance, they will gain in confidence from that, and what a tea m confidence from that, and what a team effort. and the mental strength from england's point of you coming back from that first test defeat to level the series, it sets up fascinatingly. england are in a transitional stage. you have got some young players making their way into the side. they were gaining confidence. a brilliant performance by england especially after the first innings, it was all doom and gloom but we fought hard, showed them what we are capable of and well done to simply, to bat like that, the stubbornness and mental

some start for him, some for england. let's get more on this now from for england batsman jonathan trott, who was particularly impressed with 0llie pope's maiden test century the thing that struck me and impressed me hugely, he didn't feel he had to play like ben stokes, he was very, very comfortable himself. he took the attack to the south africans but also, when you lose the momentum and then jos africans but also, when you lose the momentum and thenjos buttler came in and got out as well, for a young man, the way he marshalled the rest of the innings and we saw the flamboyance at the end where he was ramping apace guys of the keeper when all the fillers were back, but also the mindset that he didn't change too much and feel like you had to do something different. he's just 22, how close to you think england are to cracking that? we have rory burns side as well, he would come in and add to the top order so hopefully, crawley can get a few runs and get confident playing international cricket. straightaway, within a coupl

a bit more cloud across east anglia and southeast england. but light winds for many. quite a windy day, though, across the northern and western scotland. but these gusts could touch 50 or 55 miles an hour at ten or 11 celsius here or like six to nine celsius elsewhere, but closer to freezing where that fog is slow to clear. and another cold and frosty start to tuesday morning across central and southern england. but gradually, those frost will start to lift as the week wears on. this is tuesday. high pressure still with us. this frontal system trying to push its way southward, but running into an area of high pressure. so really no rain on it, butjust a lot more cloud around on tuesday. again, some problems with overnight mist and fog. a cloudy day for many, but still some bright or sunny spells, the best of which will be along eastern coast. and where that fog is slow to clear, again, it's going to be quite a cold day on tuesday across parts of england and wales. but getting closer to double figures across parts of scotland and northern irel

but now it was england's turn to toil. removing dean elgar to the thinnest of edges and hamza to a rather more obvious one. they host 162 at the close and england are clear favourites, but a gripping final day is the only guarantee. what a day forjohn sibley. he said he was still trying to ta ke sibley. he said he was still trying to take in his first test century. this ground is amazing and to score a hundred here was, you know the atmosphere it was just stokes said to contain, enjoy it for a second. it simplyv to contain, enjoy it for a second. it simply v blah now, but i certainly enjoyed it at the time. meawhile, australia have completed a 3—0 series whitewash over new zealand in sydney. chasing an unlikely a21 to win, new zealand were reeling on 38 for 5 after ross taylor was dismissed, that after becoming the kiwis all time leading test run scorer. nathan lyon then sealed the win for the aussies, by taking his second five wicket haul of the match. staying with cricket, plenty of celebrities have backed the huge eff

then ben stokes scored england's quickest double century, 258 from him in one of england's most extraordinary innings of recent yea rs. most extraordinary innings of recent years. a repeat of such high scoring is unlikely this time around but at newlands, cricket always looks spectacular. adam wild, bbc news. the washington redskins presented ron rivera as their new head coach as he looks to get the nfl franchise to the play offs for the first time in five years. he spent the past nine seasons as head coach of the carolina panthers, taking them to the super bowl in 2015 this is one of the almost original teams. started in 1932. there's a lot of history behind this football tea m lot of history behind this football team and in orderfor us to get back to where we want to be, we have to study and embrace that history and prepare to repeat that history, because if not then we're doomed to repeat the most recent history and we're not going to do that, guys, we're not going to do that, guys, we' re really we're not going to do that, guys, we're really not. everything we are going to do is about win

england will have to cope without james anderson for the final two tests of england's tour of south africa. hello and thank you forjoining us. 10 years ago this week one of the most shocking incidents happened to a sports team. togo‘s football team were travelling to the africa cup of nations in angola when they were ambushed by gunmen. two people were killed, with many more injured in the attack, including goalkeeper. he lost his livelihood and nearly his life on that day. and he's among the victims who want the confederation of african football to take responsibility. as victoire ayum reports. just get your reaction to a story that has been breaking, a shooting at the africa cup of nations at the togo team but. to go's football team had just arrived and angola. minutes later, two members of the delegation we re later, two members of the delegation were shot damp. the assistant coach and one other. translation: i heard and one other. translation: i heard a machine—gun. when i tried to move, it was as if i was nailed to the seat. i didn't understand it, but then i saw myself, both my s

it does mean we finish the day in south—west england, wales, northern england with a greater potential for some sunshine. a few showers in northern england hotels in scotland, northern ireland, maybe wintry over the tops of the scottish mountains. temperatures drop away a little bit through the afternoon but not as windy for the evening rush hour as it will be for the morning one. as we go into the evening, that rain spreads across east anglia and the south—east, clear skies for a time, a brief dip in temperature. roll out a touch of frost and there but temperatures rise late as more wet and windy weather spreads its way in from the west. and that's this area of low pressure. the next one, a deeper bigger area of low pressure, winds are stronger, extent further away from the centre, which will still be around iceland, producing snow here, but for us dragging an exactly mild air from the mid atlantic, rocketing temperatures from what will have been a chilly start for some in the south—east. here though it should stay dry and bright through much of the day. it is northern england, sc

, they are all desperate to play for england, they want england to win. so that is a unifying force. today's england squad announcement here at twickenham was all about trying to look ahead towards the new international season, but the club game finds itself in the grip of an unprecedented crisis and with premiership rugby refusing to publish the full report into the affair, many fear there could be more damaging revelations still to come. the lack of transparency doesn't end there. saracens apparently choosing to accept automatic relegation rather than grant full access to their financial accounts. i think if saracens are serious about becoming open and trying to sort of claw back some of the goodwill or whatever you want to call it, then they need to make this public, they need to get all the dirty laundry out there and i think that will go some way to letting people start to forgive them. the dominant force in the english game, saracens' dramatic downfall has sent shock waves through the sport. their players must somehow now shift their focus from club

wales and northern ireland are below where england was. we are hearing reports across the nhs about how busy hospitals are this week. they always are in the first week of the new year. people come back to work, and more gp surgeries are open referring patients, but even so, we have heard of real stresses, patients in corridors waiting a long time in some hospitals. it should be stressed that staff are working flat out, patients we spoke to have not complained about the staff, but there are workflow problems to get the right numbers for primary care. after the election, we had all the talk about funding and social care, but this is right now and winter seems to be challenging and flu seems to be picking up which is another challenge facing the nhs. family doctors are under intense pressure and general practice is running on empty — that's according to the royal college of gps. it says severe staff shortages are causing "unacceptable" delays for patients in england. in a letter to health secretary matt hancock, its chairman says ministers

in netball, england have lost to new zealand. emily croydon was a lead. england had an experimental team here, there are also getting used to a new coaching setup, but this was a good opportunity for them to challenge new zealand, the world champion. they were lacking a lot of the experience of the squad that won on the world cup back injuly, i think lee arouses will be disappointed they don't have a bit more to show today, despite a few promising moments on the court. you could feel the buzz are still from the world cup, with england to shooters taking a break from international netball, they struggle to forge a partnership in a light shooting circle, they try different combinations but early cardwell was really the only one who took her opportunity. stacy francis was good in defence, she was out for a long time under tracey neville, great to see her back and performing well. 0verall, england fell well short of world champions, were lacking let fluidity and consistency in the shooting end. the third quarter was where the real damage was done, the ceiling

england and wales. the winds will ease tonight but the rain keeps going in the south—east and east anglia, it could turn heavier. clear skies elsewhere, showers pushing into the north—west, it could be quite icy, and there could be a touch of frost for the far north of england and northern ireland. into tomorrow, rain early in the morning should push in from south—eastern areas, sunshine and if you showers on the breeze, most of them towards the north—west of scotland, snow levels rising through the day but still quite windy. elsewhere, breezy, a brief respite from the wet and windy weather. slightly cooler air covers much of the uk, temperatures of seven or 8 degrees. it is only a brief respite because in the atlantic there is another area of low pressure which looks a bit complicated and messy, it is gathering across the west of the uk. it will probably start dry further east end may stay dry until the evening, added to the west we get the weather action, winds picking up through the irish sea

this is trumpeter billy cooper's last test after 16 years of playing for england. was he soundtracking the end credits already? this is vernon philander's last test for south africa, and he didn't last long this morning, more than 300 runs behind. no point looking back, thought quinton de kock, as england made them wait and chase but it's difficult to get away from mark wood. that was so quick it not only bowled him but broke one of his bales. wood smashed 35 yesterday, now five wickets to go with it. south africa 183 all out. england could have made the south africans bat again, but instead decided to have a go themselves to further stretch tiring limbs. south africa stuck at it, to their credit. that noise will not have helped the migrainejoe denly has been suffering, and headaches around jos buttler‘s batting are not going away. soon england were batting on a cushion of 400 runs, a lead that should secure the series. the hard work has been done, and they still have two days to finish the job. over to the australian open now, where15—year—old coco gauff‘s

england too good. we are always looking to push each other forward, improve all the time, thenl other forward, improve all the time, then i do believe this guy is a limit for us as a group. series wins abroad are so special, because they happen so rarely. it's sri lanka next, if you fancy it. joe wilson, bbc news. now, time for a look at the weather, and susan powell's here. a satellite picture like this can only mean one thing for the uk. one of those speckles indicating showers flooding their way into the uk courtesy of an area of low pressure with the centre to the north—west. this more persistent rain clearing away from eastern england. notjust showers pitching in, but colder air sinking south right the way across the uk overnight night. that means some of our towers will turn wintry and also ice could be a distinct possibility first thing tomorrow. some pretty potent showers through england and wales this evening and then into the small hours the focus shifts to more than and southern scotla nd

rain will be pushing into england and wales and southeast wing democrat england. mainly dry, but it is a windy day across, the strongest winds will be across scotla nd strongest winds will be across scotland and northern england where we could see them touching 60—75 mph for northern and western scotland. rain from the northern ireland by a windy day here, gus coming down 30-40 windy day here, gus coming down 30—a0 mph, where for most it will be dry. perhaps 16—i7dc across eastern scotland. overnight as we go to wednesday, our weak france liked its way southwards. most of the rain tending to fizzle out, turning colour across scotland. we start to really notice the difference in temperature from the north and south come wednesday morning, much colder for the north. still very windy across scotland as we go through wednesday. elsewhere the wins will tend to ease away, and for many we will see spells of sunshine and losing the cloud from southeast england. we could see some snow down toa england. we could see some snow down to a couple hundred metres in places,

england played exceptionally well. england played well in cape town, deserved to win the test, all 11 made a contribution and that will be the contribution and that will be the contribution for —— the conversation was that we need to back—up the second test. even though it could end as a draw, england need to back that performance up in the level of skill and commitment. if they do that i expect them to win the game. one player who is not with the english squad is... he has been taking time away from test cricket after being granted a break in august following a run of poor performances. he has told the bbc that he feels he was often the first person to be blamed when england lost. it did get to me and that was probably one of the reasons why it made me feel like i needed to step back from test cricket in particular. for in the nested time, —— internet the time... i did quite well in the summer. had a bad game against australia and the ashes. but i dropped away, but it was almost like it was all my fault and

england's day for england's knights. adam wild, bbc news. to rugby union's premiership now and gloucester had an excellent 29 points to 15 win over bath to move up to third in the table. bath led at the break, but gloucester put on a show of force in the second half, scoring three tries — this from gerbrandt grobler — to secure the bonus point. england fly—half george ford scored a try and added 11 points with the boot, as leicester tigers beat bristol 31—18, for only their second premiership win of the season. saracens ran in ten tries as they thrashed worcester warriors by 62 points to 5, to continue their recovery from that 35—point deduction at the start of the season. glasgow warriors ran in six tries to see off benetton in an enthralling pro14 contest. george horne touched down twice, as the warriors won by 38 points to 19, to stay in touch of the play—off places. there were also wins for dragons and zebre. that's all the sport for now. there are calls for a review of surrogacy laws — to allow a child's intended parents t

but it's not affected england's performance. at stumps on day two, south africa are 88 for 6 and trail by 312 in the final test. patrick geary reports. test cricket's a delicate balancing act — important to remember where you are in the wider picture, while keeping your mind clear. 0llie pope has that rare clarity. this is only his sixth test but already he seems to be on top of things — 50. he and joe root mopped up the bowling. this was getting away from south africa, fast. then, a fightback. first pope went, then root. this time he's got him! sam curran lasted one ball. three wickets for 11 runs. were things starting to swing? stuart broad certainly was. he batted the attack all around johannesburg. by the order, he's england's worst batsman. partner mark wood, second worst. and yet, watch them go, enjoy the show! england ended up on 400. surely the series now beyond south africa. after all, the local batting's not inspired too much confidence of late and england often bowl quicker. around 90 miles an hour in mark wood's

southern england and into wales, the strongest winds are really across northern england and scotland but likely to bring some disruption. as we go through tuesday evening, we keep those strong winds across scotland, starting to ease further south, we have got a band of cloud and rain just sliding its way southwards, that rain becoming increasingly patchy. but wintry showers starting to develop across scotland and quite a range in temperature come first thing wednesday morning. very mild across central southern england and wales, but turning much colder further north. there are still some strong winds across scotland as we go into wednesday, keeping an eye on this system here, pushing some rain into south—west england later in the day on wednesday. but most of us will see some sunshine around on wednesday. legacy of cloud clearing from southern england through wednesday morning, wintry showers piling into scotland, and then through wednesday afternoon we start to see cloud and rain starting to nudge into wales and south—west england. still in some fairly mild air across central so

the number of rape prosecutions in england and wales has fallen sharply again. i think it is really important that people do report but, at the same time, my gut instinct is to just say, don't bother. the future of the high speed rail network hs2 — crucial talks tonight, as the government looks set to give the go—ahead. nike's controversial trainers that helped kipchoge run a sub two hour marathon — now world athletics bosses are expected to announce tighter regulations. judy dench, joe pesci, the irishman... and she's won the same number of oscars as meryl streep — we speak to the award winnng costume designer, sandy powell. and at 11:30 we'll be taking an in—depth look at the papers, with our reviewers — political writer and academic, maya goodfellow, and the deputy political editor of the daily mail, john stevens. the world health organization has declared the coronavirus outbreak in china a global health emergency. at least 200 people have now died and almost 8000 have been infected. tonight, a chartered flight will evacuate 150 britons from wuha

england's captain came in. scoring was steady. ok, it was slow. in port elizabeth the ocean looked intriguing, but promised bigger waves to come. at times, it felt that way at the cricket. joe wilson, bbc news. the former formula 1 world champion fernando alonso has escaped serious injury after rolling his car at the dakar rally. it was his first time competing in the race, which this year is being held in saudi arabia. alonso rolled his car several times after driving over a sand dune. it eventually ended up back on its wheels at the bottom of the dune, and the two—time f1 champion was able to continue — despite a smashed windscreen. not surprisingly perhaps, he slipped from tenth place to fourteenth. time for a look at the weather. pretty windy and rainy. again. good news for the weekend. most of us will see dry weather. this is the low pressure bearing down on us at the moment. strong winds already costing in excess of 60 mph in some coastal areas. a lot of cloud further eastwards as well so some fairly dismal conditions out there. lunchtim

particularly across parts of england and wales, poor visibility. now, some rain near the north coast of northern ireland, south—west scotland, pushing up across the western side of scotland during the day. increasing cloud in the afternoon in north—east scotland. until then, some sunny spells. still some brighter breaks in north—east england. it brightens up a bit in northern ireland. and perhaps some glimmers of sunshine the channel islands and far south coast of england. temperatures are close to average for the time of year, if not a bit above in some spots. going through the night and into saturday morning, still cloudy, damp and drizzly, misty, foggy in places. but all of that cloud keeping temperatures up, so again, frost—free to start the weekend. this weather front getting a bit closer on saturday. but really, for most of us, it's as you were, with lots of cloud around, again misty, murky start, damp and drizzly in places. there are signs of a zone of brighter skies running up across eastern parts of england during saturday. but the

that meant they still trailed england by almost 300 runs but were put back in, and the england wickets kept coming. ollie pope took this brilliant catch at short range. that was off the bowling of captainjoe root who took 4/31. south africa would assume on the final day and england will have the rain stays away for long enough so they can ta ke away for long enough so they can take a 2—1 lead in the four test series. saracen say they will learn from their mistakes and hope to rebuild trust and confidence after accepting the relegation from the premiership at the end of the season for breaking salary regulations. they qualified for the quarter—finals of the champions cup with a win today. number eight billion in apollo was injured and could now miss the six nations for england. the director of rugby admitted afterwards it had been a tough week for the club but the focus was now on the future. it has been extremely difficult for everybody in the group. i guess the one thing we do have now is a bit of clarity. with clarity you can start to make a plan. which is not something we have b
