for the news where you are. goodbye. hello and welcome to sportsday — i'm jane dougall. he's the man behind red bull's success but adrian newey has shocked the fi world with the news that he's leaving the team. all eyes are on manchester city as the title race heats up — will they take three points from brighton, or blink like liverpool? and seven time champion ronnie 0'sullivan wants to make it eight as he powers past his opponant. proving age isjust a number. what is possible in this game westmark how long can you keep going for? could i when intervention by

50, who knows? i'm probably the only one able to do that. also coming up on sportsday... the focus of the american football world is on detroit, as the city prepares to host the nfl draft starting later this evening. welcome to the programme. huge news coming out of formula one today — the man credited with masterminding red bull's success for the last two decades is leaving the team. design chief adrian newey has been behind seven driver championship titles at red bull, but bbc sport understands he has told the team he wants to move on. it comes just months after team principal christian horner was accused of sexual harassment and coercive, behaviour by a female employee, which he denies and was cleared of any wrong—doing. newey has had one of the most

illustrious careers in formula one. 0ne — he's behind 11 constructors championships. two — in his time at red bull he helped sebastian vettel to four drivers championships. and max verstappen to three. at williams, he helped create the machinery that allowed nigel mansell, alain prost, damon hill and jacques villeneuve to win drivers championships. he isa he is a crucial part of any formula 1 he is a crucial part of any formula i team. he is a crucial part of any formula iteam. joining us he is a crucial part of any formula i team. joining us to explain more is on the one correspondent andrew benson. what is behind this, and why now? $5 benson. what is behind this, and why now? �* , . benson. what is behind this, and why now? ~ , ., ., now? as you alluded to in the introduction, _ now? as you alluded to in the introduction, newey - now? as you alluded to in the introduction, newey is - now? as you alluded to in the i introduction, newey is unsettled now? as you alluded to in the - introduction, newey is unsettled by the allegations around christian horner the allegations around christian homer and other issues in red bull, there's a big power struggle since there's a big power struggle since the allegations emerge. christian horner denies them but the adviser

for red bull and christian horner are in dispute with each other, dispute between the main shareholders in thailand and red bull gh in austria, and he stands in a situation he's very uncomfortable and decided after nearly 20 years it's time to move to another formula 1 it's time to move to another formula i team. it's time to move to another formula 1 team. . , it's time to move to another formula 1team. ., , ., ., 1team. clearly, looking at all he has achieved, _ 1team. clearly, looking at all he has achieved, he _ 1team. clearly, looking at all he has achieved, he is _ 1team. clearly, looking at all he has achieved, he is available - 1team. clearly, looking at all he has achieved, he is available as| 1team. clearly, looking at all he| has achieved, he is available as a member of red bull, can you put into words how much they will miss him? he is a gracious formula i designer in history, that is how important he is. at red bull in recent years, there has been a kind of messaging starting to emerge that he is not important as it used to be, he's not working full—time on formula i any more, but mostly inform the one, people believe he is the old art —— overarching figure primary responsibility, all teams have large

design departments and red bull and's is very good, and newey himself will explain why he thought in this data set of technical regulations for formula i at the moment, why he thinks red bull has a margin on everybody else, and that was done to him. lats margin on everybody else, and that was done to him.— was done to him. lots of formula 1 speculation about _ was done to him. lots of formula 1 speculation about where _ was done to him. lots of formula 1 speculation about where he - was done to him. lots of formula 1 speculation about where he would | was done to him. lots of formula 1 i speculation about where he would go, and many licking their licks in anticipation of having him at their team. do you have any idea where he would end up? team. do you have any idea where he would end up?— team. do you have any idea where he would end up? aston martin have made him a lucrative — would end up? aston martin have made him a lucrative offer, _ would end up? aston martin have made him a lucrative offer, he _ would end up? aston martin have made him a lucrative offer, he is _ would end up? aston martin have made him a lucrative offer, he is already - him a lucrative offer, he is already earning a large salary at red bull and ferrari have been trying to get him but on a number of occasions and are interested again. but there are two other top teams in mercedes and mclaren. mclaren, he has worked at before. he masterminded championships for them in 1998 and 1999, so anyone who can afford them,

any of the top five teams, would be interested, i'm sure.— interested, i'm sure. thank you, andrew benson. _ to football news now, and all eyes are on manchester city tonight as the title race heats up in the premer league. city travel to brighton to play one of their two games in hand. a win at the amex would mean they leapfrog liverpool into second place and would be within one point of leaders arsenal. but after watching liverpol lose to everton last night, are city fans nervous that their club will slip up too? not helped perhaps by manager pep guardiola saying his players are mentally and emotionally exhausted. tired here, not just tired here, notjust in legs, complaining more of tired here, season by season, these guys had three weeks off, one month, so they don't have much race —— rest to recover. people sitting in the chair say how you complained? i know my

players, i know what i'm talking about, much better than players outside, and i know human being has limits, sign says you need time to recover, notjust physically but mentally, and for many years we don't give them. still, we are there. that is why i am impressed that they don't fall down. this time, will not be possible, and still they make it possible. bernardo silva scores for manchester city. bernardo silva scores for manchester ci . , bernardo silva scores for manchester ci . y ., , ., , city. they find it was to be in there, city. they find it was to be in there. and — city. they find it was to be in there, and it's _ city. they find it was to be in there, and it's unbelievable. | there, and it's unbelievable. unbelievable. well that's not the first time we've heard guardiola say his players are tired, and the amex has been the setting for several upsets in the past. so what will happen tonight? joe bray, manchester city reporter for the manchester evening news is at the amex stadium. i spoke to him earlier and began by asking him if guardiola was bluffing.

i think they are very tired. i think if you look at last week, they had 120 minutes against real madrid and then played againstjosie in the fa cups semifinal, and we spoke to bernardo silver afterwards and he was unhappy as to why those gains were so close to each other, but for this game tonight, city have had five days to prepare so they'll refresher, but in less than three days for the game against nottingham forest, at this stage they are used to playing three games a week, but they are annoyed when they are asked to play twice in under three days. looking at the title race specifically they have two games in hand including two nights fixture, but does that mean more pressure, especially because points on the board are more valuable? if especially because points on the board are more valuable?- especially because points on the board are more valuable? if you ask pep guardiola. _ board are more valuable? if you ask pep guardiola, he _ board are more valuable? if you ask pep guardiola, he would _ board are more valuable? if you ask pep guardiola, he would want - board are more valuable? if you ask pep guardiola, he would want the l pep guardiola, he would want the points on the board rather than games in hand, but to see liverpool

lose yesterday and know they can go ahead of them tonight and with another game in hand, they know they have to win all their games to be champion, easiersaid have to win all their games to be champion, easier said than done but this side are used to winning lots of games in short space of time when things are against them. it is easy to look at what other teams are doing and games in hand and that sort of thing, but manchester city are better at taking one game at a time and the bigger picture, which is why they won so many trophies, they can compartmentalise those games and this will be no different. brighton has the ability to cause an upset, do you see on the cards? this came upset, do you see on the cards? this name is upset, do you see on the cards? this game is not — upset, do you see on the cards? t1 3 game is not straightforward, i was there a few years ago when brighton beat manchester to do although they had already won the title, and last year they got a point. pep guardiola has always had the sides are always difficult. ithink has always had the sides are always difficult. i think he would take it very seriously, he will not take

anything for granted and i don't brighton have layers out but manchester city has a few fitness issues and bryson are very resilient, there will cause brighton —— there were because mencius city problems. -- there were because mencius city roblems. ., ., problems. you saw that -- he said all ou problems. you saw that -- he said all you have _ problems. you saw that -- he said all you have to _ problems. you saw that -- he said all you have to do _ problems. you saw that -- he said all you have to do is _ problems. you saw that -- he said all you have to do is win _ problems. you saw that -- he said all you have to do is win all - problems. you saw that -- he said all you have to do is win all their. all you have to do is win all their games, easiersaid all you have to do is win all their games, easier said than done, but looking at their running, do you think manchester city with slip up? i think this game is difficult and tottenham on the final week, second to last game, they have never scored or one there in the premier league on the one one game by the fa cups early decision, so as not to game you want in hand going into the final game, so if few potential slips along the way, but this one and the tottenham one are the ones pep guardiola will look at as a more difficult ones. looking at the chelsea game at the fa cups

semifinal might�*ve been a potential game not to win because of the tiredness issues becausejosie drew with them twice this season, but they won even if they do not play well which is what they do at this stage a month so we may not see the best football from manchester city between now and the end of the season but if they bring all their games they will not be bothered of the play. well, the race intensified last night. the everton fans chanted "you lost the league at goodison park" during liverpool's 2—0 defeat to their merseyside rivals. it's a taunt that many liverpool supporters are reluctantly agreeing with, particularly as the league is so tight at the top that no one can afford any mistakes. it's managerjurgen klopp's last season in charge and the bbc understands that talks have begun with feyenoord manager arne slot to replace him. but can he fill klopp's shoes? earlier i spoke to neil atkinson from the anfield wrap and began by asking him if fans thought the bid for the title was now over. if we're going up against one team

and wanting to have one setback, it may be, but liverpool are looking for two setbacks from good sides. liverpool can still get 86 points, and they can get more than that, and when i grew up 86 points tend to win the league title and these are good teams and i can't see them both slipping up even with difficult games, i think both —— at least one of them it probably gets enough results from here to ensure they get more points than the republican live with. i think more points than the republican live with. ithink it more points than the republican live with. i think it is probably gone which is a massive shame. iziirgiii with. i think it is probably gone which is a massive shame. virgil van di'k said which is a massive shame. virgil van dijk said he — which is a massive shame. virgil van dijk said he was _ which is a massive shame. virgil van dijk said he was questioning - which is a massive shame. virgil van dijk said he was questioning the - dijk said he was questioning the desire of some of his team—mates and you are up against a formidable everton side up for it on their home ground, do you think that compiled together? i ground, do you think that compiled touether? ~' ,., ., together? i think liverpool were predictable. _ together? i think liverpool were predictable, so _ together? i think liverpool were predictable, so not _ together? i think liverpool were predictable, so not necessarily, | together? i think liverpool were l predictable, so not necessarily, if you ask me how liverpool loses 2—0,

i would've described precisely what you see. i am an idiot, sean —— is a much smarterfootball you see. i am an idiot, sean —— is a much smarter football person than me and liverpool played into their hands. they are in the liver —— they are in the dress room so they see more than i do. there were no surprises in store for everton. you are well briefed _ surprises in store for everton. you are well briefed and well read man, i would never call you an idiot, but look into the end of the season and perhaps before than the appointment of a new manager to replacejurgen klopp, and talks looks like with arne slot from feyenoord. how do you think he will fit in at anfield? i don't know much about him, a piece was done after a few months ago, i know feyenoord did not have many league titles and you one with them, but i'm not going to profess to be an expert, but at the anfield rep we spoke to people who are and had an

interesting composition with a supporter yesterday. interesting composition with a supporteryesterday. it interesting composition with a supporter yesterday. it is small town, had glory in the past, a slightly rocky present, and second michael came in and this guy described him as one of the three greatest managers in feyenoord history will stop he brought a sense of place and brought people together and please check in an exciting and aggressive football, which feels like their fellow we have and the impact he has had, and the extent to which she would be missed. it bodes well but it is a big step up from the dutch league and the english league, while you have to play games and win them, for me, we play at west ham at the weekend and west ham are the tenth best team in the country, and they have players with good quality, i refuse to believe the tenth best team in holland have anywhere near that sort of quality.

that is a challenge, then weeks like this one where liverpool have everton and west ham in back—to—back games and fail at goodison park, so thatis games and fail at goodison park, so that is a challenge for any new manager, and it would be the same if any other manager. english football sets up its own challenges than others, so he has done good actors others, so he has done good actors other club, looking at coming into possibly the third best team in the country, streets ahead of what jurgen kloppjoined in 2015. he joined eisai that finished eighth that season, and looks in a world away from challenging for the premier league. the site hasjust challenge for the premier league and fallen short of two weeks where we would like but that is where he would like but that is where he would be coming in from day one, so i would not act as if the job is i would not act as if thejob is not as hard as the onejurgen klopp had to do. he had to getjuergen club

back to the top of the mountain, arne slot has to keep them there and when trophy along the way, it's not an easyjob, it's not the same as having to rebuild a club and culture and a supporter base in terms of what it believes. arne slot has stuff to build on and off the work ofjurgen klopp. heii stuff to build on and off the work ofjurgen klopp-— ofjurgen klopp. neilatkinson s-ueakin ofjurgen klopp. neilatkinson speaking to — ofjurgen klopp. neilatkinson speaking to me _ ofjurgen klopp. neilatkinson speaking to me earlier. - barcelona head coach xavi has changed his mind about leaving the club and has said he will stay on until at least the end of his contract injune next year. in january the 44—year—old announced he would step down at the end of the season, but, has performed a u—turn. barcelona were knocked out of the champions league last week by psg in the quarter finals and are 11 points behind rivals real madrid in the spanish league. now to some very frank words from seven—time champion ronnie 0'sullivan, who hasn't hidden his light under a bushell today after he thrashed jackson page ten frames to one to reach the last 16

of the world snooker championship. the rocket says he thinks he is capable of winning another world title in his 50s. he's already the oldest snooker world champion after winning two years ago at the age of 46. i'v e i've already broken records for snooker, still going at 48 or a9, so snooker, still going at a8 or a9, so i am just seeing what is possible to stop what is possible question mark how long can i go for? can i win a world championship at 50? who knows? i am probably the only player who can do that so let's experiment. to do what i have done this season and for your whole career, to win i've had a great career for 30 years stop the gracious career of any other snooker player, how many people can they have been the best or most at theirjob ever was to mark i have to give myself a bit of a pat on the back because i'm always hard on myself but no one has achieved what i have achieved on the tables i'm

not a statistics guy and you guys are, but ijust want not a statistics guy and you guys are, but i just want to not a statistics guy and you guys are, but ijust want to enjoy it and keep playing. like i said, what is possible? if i had my head straight for 30 years, i could have won ten or 12 titles by no but we will see what happens. 0'sullivan not the only one playing today. david gilbert leads 16th seed rob milkins in an all english second round match. and still to come in the evening sessionjohn higgins and jamiejones will finish their match. hazel irvine rounds up the days play at the crucible withjon parrot and stephen hendry. another great day in sheffield and in the company of two world championships, and we were enjoying the progress of ronnie 0'sullivan, the progress of ronnie 0'sullivan, the favourite to land an eighth title and very rapid work he made of his opponent. 10—1. how was it was mark? he his opponent. 10-1. how was it was mark? ., , ., his opponent. 10-1. how was it was mark? ., ., ,, ., .,

olympic games in paris after suffering an injury in training. in the early hours of tomorrow morning, a new set of players will enter the nfl, as the first round of the 202a draft takes place. the chicago bears have the first overall pick, and are widely expected to pick quarterback caleb williams. earlier i spoke to shane p hallam, who is managing partner of the website draft countdown.com, and began by asking him why williams is the standout quarterback in this year's class? caleb williams has the innate ability to understand what's a defence is doing the stop he can go off script and throw off balance and still hit the spot for his receivers mark is something you do not see often in an nfl draft prospect. 0ne often in an nfl draft prospect. one often in an nfl draft prospect. one of the best ever, noticed in this

class, can read the defence and know what they will do before he snaps and handle it. he is phenomenal and the chicago bears are getting a good one with that number one overall pick. one with that number one overall ick. , ~ , one with that number one overall ick. , ~' , ., ., ., pick. he is likely to go to the chicago bears, _ pick. he is likely to go to the chicago bears, or— pick. he is likely to go to the chicago bears, or other- pick. he is likely to go to the - chicago bears, or other quarterbacks have drafted high and field, like zach wilson and trey lance. are the chicago bears a good seat set spit for him? �* ., , ., chicago bears a good seat set spit for him? �* . , ., ., for him? the bears are a good fit now, the ability _ for him? the bears are a good fit now, the ability and _ for him? the bears are a good fit now, the ability and to _ for him? the bears are a good fit now, the ability and to support i for him? the bears are a good fit now, the ability and to support a| now, the ability and to support a rookie quarterback, something like others chicago bears and new york jets have not done in the past, he has written in the wide receivers and weapons help. they brought in some way receivers and the archers with and others, so there is a tonne of weapons for him to work with so it would not be all on his shoulders to win and lose, they have a good defence. it's a good supportive structure which was making different

from the launch point. this is the moment he actually did it.. this drone footage from an earlier jump shows you just what it must feel like to go hurtling down the slope. his skis not touching the ground for around eight seconds. you can almost feel the adrenaline rush! according to the international governing body for ski jumping though, kobayashi's jump will not be considered a world record because it didn't take place under competition conditions. so the current world record will remain with austria's stefan kraft who leapt 253.5 metres back in 2017 just before we go, manchsester city have arrived at the amex for their match against brighton. the title race is heating up.

a win at the amex would mean city leapfrog liverpool into second place to be within one point of leaders arsenal. manchester city has another game in hand after tonight fixture. but liverpool slipped up last night — will brighton be a banana skin for the defending champions? that's all from sportsday. thank you for watching, goodbye. hello there. there were two different types of weather across the country for thursday, neither being warm. across england and wales, there was a lot of cloud around with some patches of rain and these grey skies, the rain, was all tied in with an area of low pressure out in the north sea. you can see the extent of the cloud here. further north, though, we had much brighter weather in scotland with some lengthy spells of sunshine. so if you wanted the sunnier weather, scotland was the place to be. however, we did see some of those brighter skies push

in into northern ireland and northern england through the afternoon. now, overnight, we've got a few patches of rain to come and go across southern areas of england, perhaps south wales as well. away from that, most of the uk having clearing skies, especially during the second part of the night, becomes largely dry, and there will be quite a widespread frost in rural areas. so we are looking at a cold and a frosty start to the day for many on friday. but overall, it's a much brighter day with more in the way of sunshine. the exception southern england, where there is the threat of some rain, especially in the southwest. and through the afternoon we'll see some showers break out. they'll become quite widespread, but especially across northern and eastern scotland and eastern areas of england. wherever you are, we're looking at another chilly day for the time of year, with temperatures well around about 8—1a degrees. now, this weekend will see an area of low pressure move up from the south. and this brings with it the threat of some rain. now, on saturday, the rain will be affecting southern england across parts of wales, the midlands and east anglia. there will be a chilly wind gusting

into the 25 miles an hour, not desperately strong, but given those low temperatures, the wind, i think, will make it feel that bit colder. for northern ireland, scotland and northern england, after a cold and frosty start, again, we're looking at an afternoon of sunny spells and passing showers, some of the showers having a bit of hail mixed in and temperatures below average once again. the second part of the weekend, the same area of low pressure threatens some rain across eastern england. now, there is a chance this rain could be a bit more extensive across the midlands and slower to clear, but away from that area, again, after a cold and locally frosty start, we're looking at some sunny spells and a number of showers, especially across the north and the west of the country. temperatures continue to run below average for the time of year. however, as we get into next week, if you're fed up with this chilly weather, it does look like we'll see something of a change to much milder weather conditions. however, it's not necessarily dry. there will be some rain

and showers around next week.

it's 7pm in london this is this world today with sarah campbell. a new york court overturns harvey weinstein's 2020 conviction for rape, ordering a new trial in the landmark "metoo" case. those connected with his case have begun to react. this is what it's like to be a woman in america, living with male entitlement to our bodies. the actor and political activist, laurence fox is ordered to pay 90—thousand pounds to two people he targeted on social media. i've been speaking to the drag performer crystal — one of the two people mr fox has been ordered to pay libel damages to. also coming up on the world today: is this the new normal? scientists say climate change made deadly flooding in the gulf more intense — and warn it could become more common.
