something with manchester united at the moment seems to be broken. we talk about barcelona and the db announced their new manager to reintroduce the barcelona way, £750 million. depends quite a lot on that global brand of the barcelona way. of course, and they have spoken quite loudly today about their position on the money week. everybody knows about real madrid and barcelona. you see evidently stand for undershirts. they are to give more control of the assets that they sell, particularly around their merchandising, allowing them to top up merchandising, allowing them to top up money. that is deloitte's version of who makes money in football. now for a quick look at some of today's other stories. england spinnerjack leach is to return home from the tour of south africa to recover fully from the illnesses he's had over the last few weeks. the team's medical staff don't think he'll be fit enough to play in the final two tests. tyson fury has predicted a second round knockout of deontay wilder when they meet for their rematch in las vegas next month.

the service to the capital from manchester is already good, and manchester has been a massive success good, and manchester has been a massive success story good, and manchester has been a massive success story over good, and manchester has been a massive success story over the last ten years. i think leeds, sheffield and others will benefit from the opening up of the north, very short train journeys into the capital. the prime minister is under pressure. many of his own mps think the money would be better spent on quicker, smaller projects. it drags more economic activity down to london, more people, more commuters, it feeds london and the places left behind will be even further left behind. the argument to push on with the project isn't about pushing speed of connections to london, it's about taking pressure off the existing system, restocking commuter trains and allowing the government back to get on with the next phase of development, high—speed trains across the north of england. each new review has raised the price tag, and it is sitting at three times the original estimate. th

two corps at manchester and the rest of the army leaderless because rosecrans is with thomas at manchester on the other side of the highland rim. that's a pretty decent plan, isn't it? i'm not fishing for compliments but isn't that a reasonable contingency they might have thought about before the campaign started? there's no evidence they ever even considered that in the events so the night of the 26th bragg orders everybody to concentrate on tullahoma. the rest of the campaign, after they leave the highland rim, at this point is somewhat anti-climactic because with rosecrans at manchester and bragg at tullahoma, bragg is ready to fight it out in the trenches of tullahoma. rosecrans is feeling out bragg and so decides the best way to do that is to send john wilder's mounted infantry men, the lightning brigade, into the confederate rear and it's a day and a half, two-day odyssey into the rear for manchester. the dotted lines towards hillsborough, descartes, up towards alsewna. some of the creeks they have to swim the horses across because of the flooding rains. they cut the rail line, probe

what do you think their condition is when they get to manchester? they are exhausted. they are blown. this is always the day, by the way, where bragg finally decides he's going to do something. he sends a message to general polk on the 26th and comes to see general polk and says, look, i have a plan. i want you to take the 15,000 men of your core and i want you to advance up through guy's gap and turn right and i want you to fight your way up towards murphy. do we know what's on the other side of the hills? you can take care of it. you will be fine. the word man trap polk used to describe what poke -- what brag was proposing. he said this is something short of sending us into a man trap. and he's right. he's absolutely right. brag gets back to his headquarters. what does he find waiting for him there. he finds news of the defeat at beach grove down toward fairfield. and i think the wording is significant of bragg's quality of leadership. he says movement proposed for tomorrow is postponed. first of all, he had ordered the movement. why did he say he was proposing it. n

and coming up on sportsday on bbc news: a busy night in the premier league, but will manchester city miss the chance to close the gap at the top? good evening. at the world economic forum in davos, president trump has directed some of his hardest criticism to date at climate campaigners, dismissing them as "prophets of doom", and he promised to protect the us economy, which is fuelled by cheap supplies of gas. sustainability is the main theme of this year's forum, and among those listening to mr trump was the teenage climate activist, greta thunberg. she later tore into political leaders, asking if it was worth risking a climate disaster in order to safeguard economic interests. mr trump was speaking hours before his impeachment trial began in the us senate in washington dc. more on that in a moment — but first, james robbins reports from davos. getting away from it all? donald trump has flown over 4,000 miles from washington to the alpine heights of davos, hoping to look more like a president on the world stage, less like a defendant back home. he's treading carefully on all the i

they'll face either holders manchester city or manchester united in the final at wembley on the 1st of march. we've got a proud history in this competition as i've said many times ina week competition as i've said many times in a week we could go and lift this toby for the sixth time as a football club, i'd be very proud man and we know it's going to be tough, manchester united or manchester city but the hard part is getting a domestic cup final, with an edge to domestic cup final, with an edge to do that against a very good blister team. congratulations to aston villa, they won, they are through so for us, bitterly disappointed. with all the players created enough opportunities and chances and like i said, we just switched off right at the end there on a cross. in spain — atheltic bilbao are into the copa del rey quarter—finals after winning 11—2 on penalties against second tier tenerife. the canary islands side looked as though they were heading into the last eight before a late yuri berchiche goal sent it to spot kicks. just enough time to let you know that simona halep is alr

manchester united versus manchester city at old trafford in the first leg of their semifinal. ole gunnar solksjaer got the better of pep guardiola in the derby in the league last month and they're relishing the chance to lock horns again. you always want to win trophies and we are so you always want to win trophies and we are so close you always want to win trophies and we are so close now. you always want to win trophies and we are so close now. it will be hopefully two good games. i am sure i did not come here just to beat united. that was not the target. absolutely not. it is to play good, win the title, we did in the last two seasons, this season we won one, in the community shield, so now we have the challenge to get another final, so we will wait for that. our correspondent, katie gornall, is at old trafford for us now. katie, with both sides looking out of the premier league title race, do you think there is added significance on winning the league cup for united and city? i think city in particular know that barring a monumental collapse from liverpool the premier leag

manchester united were desperate and they lacked ideas. on a night when the pressure increased both on and off pitch. at one point early on it felt like we we re at one point early on it felt like we were creating openings and chances we did not take them. so now it is one of... well, disappointment. hold our hands up, it was not good enough. the club is working behind the scenes to do deals and if they are right, it is a difficult time as well to do things injanuary difficult time as well to do things in january but for us, difficult time as well to do things injanuary but for us, i know difficult time as well to do things in january but for us, i know the clu b in january but for us, i know the club is working hard to get players in because we have been stretched, these players have been stretched and hopefully the injured players, when they return they can give us something but there may be something, i can't tell you know. elsewhere, ayoze perez scored twice as third—placed leicester city beat west ham 4—1. jamie vardy limped off w

both manchester united and city enjoyed comfortable wins in the fa cup fourth round today. united gave league one tranmere a 6—0 hammering at prenton park. six different players on the scoresheet for united, as they put their poor league form to one side in relentless fashion. craig templeton reports. tranmere might have had lofty ambitions after knocking out premier league opposition on thursday, but all the pre—match talk had been at ground level, and the state of the pitch. ole gunnar solskjaer said united could have no excuses about the playing surface. his side were clearly listening. good hit, and what a terrific goalfrom harry maguire! not a bad way to score your first united goal. and this was not a bad way to make it two. this trick and hit from diogo dalot was not in the script. jesse lingard then put forward his contender for goal of the match. everything they hit is going in! and if you haven't scored in six years, this was looking like the time to do it. step forward, philjones. and to round off a breathless first half, a goalfor a more regular scorer, anth

the man who has led manchester city women to six trophies is as many years is to leave the club next month. nick cushing is to become the assistant at new york city men saying the decision to leave the etihad campus was not one he'd taken lightly. our sports reporter jo currie has more. not many people have seen this coming, they have been able to keep a relatively under wraps which is very rare in football these days. it is testament to how successful nick cushing has been with manchester city since taking charge in 2013, he has managed to deliver six major trophies, including the 2016 title which was a triple winning season, he delivered the fa cup at wembley as of the league cup along the way he has managed to international players. he has also nurtured the careers of england youngsters. so, he has proved himself for almost every level. the only truth that has eluded him as the champions league, he is going to the semi finals twice but some people may ask, why is he leaving one of the most high—profile jobs and brings football in the world and the answer is this move to new york

victoria was under the care of manchester city council in rochdale. a report said that despite victoria‘s carers being aware of her being subjected to "multiple threats, sexual assaults and serious sexual exploitation", no action was taken by police or social care. she reported being raped and injected by a 50—year—old man, and later died of a drugs overdose. a report published today, found significant shortcomings in the original investigations into her death and the abuse of other vulnerable children — concluding that fears over race relations were a factor in the way police tackled the crimes, and that an investigation into the grooming of vulnerable teenage girls — predominantly by asian men — was under—resourced. andy burnham, the mayor of greater mancherster, confirmed the re—opening of the investigation in a press conference this morning, saying "i am truly sorry that the victims were let down in the way they were". joint police and social services investigations should take place where there‘s evidence that a child is involve

pep guardiola's manchester city and carlo ancelotti's everton. it was guardiola's side though, that had the edge, 2—1winners. it took until the second half for city to find a way through, two goals in quick succession from gabrieljesus helped them just about keep in touch at the top. they are, this evening, just a point behind leicester — still 11 points behind liverpool. richarlison did pull a goal back for everton but not enough. the late game this evening, arsenal taking on manchester united. that one finished in the last hour. it's ended, as you can see there, 2—0, a first victory for mikel arteta as the gunners boss. arsenal took the lead through nicolas pepe. just eight minutes gone when he found the net to open the scoring. they were 2—0 up by half—time, pepe‘s corner eventually falling for sokratis to smash in. manchester united were really very poor. no goals in the second half so that's the way it stayed. arteta clearly delighted with the resulted. with the result. now, just down the road, it's been quite some festive period

the first of which is manchester united against manchester city tomorrow night. it has been used for a couple of years in the other domestic cup competition the fa cup and yesterday produced a moment of history as the pitchside monitor was used for the first time. michael oliver sent off crystal palace's luca milivoyevic after consultin the monitor, something referees are advised not to do in the premier league. the draw for the fourth round of the fa cup will take place tonight, ahead of arsenal's game against leeds united. the arsenal manager mikel arteta captained the club the last time these two sides met in the fa cup 2012 but it was a returning hero who stole the show. thierry henry scored the winner at the emirates in his first appearance since re—joining on a short loan from the new york red bulls. arteta says he has total respect for the fa cup it's a competition that is very attached to this football club in recent years, and we have to take it very seriously and we have to try to go to the next round. the way they play, the manner they behave, i foll

as a very, very hard—working manchester united as a very, very ha rd—working team, with manchester united as a very, very hard—working team, with the quality of players we have got, that is what i want for my team and i am delighted. chelsea are the side still in that fourth champions league spot as it stands. they still have a five point cushion on united in fifth thanks to a 3—0 win over burnley. jorginho scored from the spot, before tammy abraham got pretty lucky to make it 2—0, the ball from this position somehow found its way past nick pope in the burnley goal. another goal for another goalfor tammy another goal for tammy abraham, continuing his hot streak this season. and in the second half callum hudson odoi got his first goal in the premier league to make it three. chelsea‘s youngsters are still doing the business. very convincing. the scoreline is convincing but not as much as it should have been. there was great foot ball should have been. there was great football throughout the game, great passages with chances at the end of them which would have been really good goal i

the manchester flight's full, right? yeah. the compa ny‘s staff, who'd lost theirjobs, helped out. 0ur rep was really good. he came to the hotel two or three times today, didn't he, to make sure that we could get home and make sure that we knew what was going on and everything. but with confusion inevitable, that first day at airports like palma, in majorca, was the hardest. to watch the operation matterhorn repatriation effort at first was chaotic. it did not go well at all. there were hundreds upon hundreds of thomas cook passengers coming to the airport. many of them anxious, they took cabs — they did not trust whether or not the coaches would turn up. they were told by thomas cook staff and also the civil aviation authority to stay in one corner of the departures lounge, and that built up and built up. there were some people there 18, 19 hours, sitting down, lying on the floor, some crying as well, working out how they could get home. by day two, it was completely different. big airlines had come in to help and it was

our correspondent at manchester crown courts. let's speak now to professor adam winstock, he's the director of the global drug survey, an independent research company which runs the world's largest drug survey. adam, thank you very much for joining us, because danny was mentioning this drug called ghb, they can't confirm its use but they strongly suspect that this was the drug that was being used in this case, what can you tell us about it. this was a drug that was first made in the 1960s as an anaesthetic, and it drug that can be today to a people sleep, it can be used as a treatment for narcolepsy, but the reason it's used in the scene is because it's a drug that can promote confidence and also increase peoples sexual desire. it can also reduce peoples inhibitions, and that's why it has a place among people who want to facilitate sex using a drug. but the difference between a dose that keeps someone happy and alert and a dose that leads leaves you unconscious and vulnerable as a little as half a mill, so this is incredibly pote
