bbc--2020-01-25--Labour Party sees surge in membership amid leadership race

Labour has experienced a surge in membership since the general election , BBC Two 's Newsnight has learned .
Constituency Labour parties ( CLPs ) have reported rises in local membership amid the ongoing leadership race , in which members will vote from 21 February .
In Hammersmith , west London , the CLP has seen a 32 % increase while in Bury North numbers have gone up by 26 % .
It is not clear whether these members have only joined to get a vote - but the surge will boost Labour 's finances .
The average increase in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Newsnight was around 20 % .
• Who will be Labour 's next leader ?
In Hammersmith , 413 members have joined in a single month and in Bury North 202 more people have signed up .
Elsewhere , Richmond , south-west London , now boasts 350 new members , up 30 % , and Hove , East Sussex , has 477 more , up 21 % , while Exeter has seen a 25 % increase with 300 additional members .
BBC Newsnight has been told the CLP of Sir Keir Starmer , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ race , has seen its membership rise by 1,000 - almost a third .
These are large increases in a short length of time .
Of the CLP chairmen and chairwomen and MPs who spoke to Newsnight , virtually all seemed certain these members joined in order to have a say about the next Labour Party leader .
In 2015 and 2016 , the two Labour leadership contests in which Jeremy Corbyn ran , much was made about the `` entryism '' or programme of enlisting new members to vote for the left-wing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ new members this time is not certain - there are simply too many of them to be sure .
However , sources within local parties are confident many if not most had joined to vote against the left-wing candidate , a reversal of what happened four years ago .
One MP , in a CLP that now numbers nearly 3,000 members , told Newsnight : `` We 're just trying to figure it out , but it seems that overwhelmingly the new joiners since the election are moderates who want to vote against @ @ @ @ @ @ @ A lot joined for Jess Phillips and are now deciding who next . ''
Another constituency chairman added that in a single ward in his constituency `` there are around 100 new members and rejoiners just in my branch '' .
`` We 've been phoning them and the overwhelming majority have joined to vote for a moderate candidate , '' he said .
Another Labour source was convinced this surge meant that the probable outcome of the leadership race was certain .
`` I think the contest is over to be honest @ @ @ @ @ @ @ deputy leader ] and Starmer in the first round , unless [ Lisa ] Nandy really surges , '' they said .
`` A lot of solidly left activists I know are pretty resigned saying things like 'when Starmer wins we 'll need to be organised ' . ''
Many CLP officers and MPs believe the party has been flooded by pro-EU members in favour of Sir Keir , someone they deem creditworthy after his advocacy of a second EU referendum .
The increases in Sir Keir 's own constituency of Holborn and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
These new members will be forbidden from taking part in the constituency nomination process , as a result of long-standing Labour Party rules .
However , they will have a vote in the upcoming leader and deputy leader contests .
Such a large number of new voters in this electorate potentially makes the contest more unpredictable .
However , few party insiders believe that this new infusion will benefit Jeremy Corbyn 's preferred successor , Rebecca Long-Bailey .
It seems improbable that there are a large pool of left-inclined voters who did @ @ @ @ @ @ @ choose to join now .
New members will be also be a financial boon to the party .
But it is n't all good news for Labour .
The one exception to the new surge seems to be Scotland .
Increases for CLPs in Scotland were , in some cases , in single figures - with the prospect of influencing the future of Britain 's second biggest party , but Scotland 's fourth , apparently failing to excite many politically inclined voters .

One MP, in a CLP that now numbers nearly 3,000 members, told Newsnight: "We're just trying to figure it out, but it seems that overwhelmingly the new joiners since the election are moderates who want to vote against Rebecca Long-Bailey in some form.

bbc--2020-01-25--Brexit: US 'wants to reach trade deal with UK this year'

The US wants to agree a post-Brexit trade deal with the UK this year , the country 's treasury secretary has said .
After meeting Chancellor Sajid Javid in London , Steve Mnuchin said he believed the UK could negotiate trade deals with the US and EU at the same time .
`` I 'm quite optimistic , '' he told a Chatham House think tank event .
After Brexit happens on 31 January , the UK will be free to negotiate and sign new trade deals with countries with no existing EU deals - like the US .
At @ @ @ @ @ @ @ also be negotiating a free trade deal with the EU to ensure that UK goods are not subject to tariffs and other trade barriers once the Brexit transition period ends on 31 December .
• Is the UK toughening its stance with the US ?
Mr Mnuchin , who met Mr Javid for breakfast on Saturday morning and posted an image of them on Instagram , said the US was `` prepared to dedicate a lot of resources '' to securing a trade deal with the UK this year .
He said : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ - your goal - is trying to get both of these trade agreements done this year .
And I think from a US standpoint we are prepared to dedicate a lot of resources .
`` If the UK and US have very similar economies with a big focus on services , and I think this will be a very important relationship . ''
Mr Mnuchin added President Donald Trump had previously said the UK would `` be at the top of the list '' for a deal .
He also reiterated the US @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the revenues of big tech firms , calling it `` discriminatory '' .
He told the audience at Chatham House it was `` not appropriate '' and has `` violations to our tax treaties and other issues '' .
`` So , we 're working through that and I think we have a good outcome of trying to give some room now in 2020 to continue these discussions . ''
Mr Javid intends to introduce a 2 % levy on the revenues of search engines , social media platforms and online marketplaces which @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has said the digital services tax will only be a temporary measure until an international agreement is in place on how to deal with online giants such as Google and Facebook .
Earlier this week , Mr Mnuchin threatened new tariffs on UK carmakers after the chancellor defied US pressure to cancel the tax .
The issue of whether Chinese telecoms giant Huawei should have a role in the UK 's 5G network was also raised .
The US recently warned the British government it `` would be madness '' to use Huawei @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
A decision is expected imminently on whether to allow Huawei to supply some `` non-core '' parts for the UK network .
Mr Mnuchin said `` active discussions '' about that were ongoing with UK government and others .
He also said his criticisms of climate activist Greta Thunberg earlier this week had been meant as a `` joke '' .

He said: "We've said that our goal - your goal - is trying to get both of these trade agreements done this year. And I think from a US standpoint we are prepared to dedicate a lot of resources.

In the heart of Hitler’s Nazi Germany, ordinary people worked tirelessly and at great risk to themselves to help those whose lives were threatened.
Among them was Ruth Winkelmann, who witnessed 16 members of her family being taken away to concentration camps. She managed to live in a garden shed for two years, hiding her Jewish heritage.
Elisabeth Charlotte Gloeden – known as Liselotte or “Lilo” – along with her husband Erich, hid Jews in their home in Berlin, before arranging safe passage for them out of Germany. The couple’s efforts went undetected until 1944 when they took in General Fritz Lindemann, who was being hunted by the Gestapo for being part of the plot to assassinate Hitler.
And finally Felicitas Narloch, who provided shelter to a Jewish woman who arrived on her doorstep asking for help. She was was just a teenager, but says "anyone would do the same."

bbc--2020-01-26--The tiger ‘gift’ that horrified Polish rescuers

Nine emaciated and distressed tigers transported from Italy to the Poland-Belarus border are safe now , but the case exposed a cruel , shadowy trade in exotic animals destined for Asia .
The discovery last October shocked Ewa Zgrabczynska , director of Poznan Zoo in Poland , which is looking after four of them .
The other five were taken in by an animal welfare centre called Primadomus , near Alicante in southern Spain .
The tigers were starving , thirsty and filthy after a 2,000km ( 1,243-mile ) road journey to Belarus .
A tenth one did not survive @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was just good luck : the Belarus border guards were suspicious about the animal transporter 's paperwork and refused to let it through .
The animal transport lorry , driven by two Italians , was totally unsuited for the tigers crammed in there : it was the type used for carrying horses or cattle .
BBC Russian has established that they were bound for an unlicensed zoo in distant Dagestan , in Russia 's Caucasus .
But the question is : did the final customer want them dead or alive ?
Read more @ @ @ @ @ @ @ • In depth : the war on elephants Poznan Zoo described its horror on Facebook : `` Our employees arrived at the scene to discover a real nightmare .
The tigers have excrement stuck to their fur and are tired and hungry .
Our veterinarian says their condition is appalling . ''
Ewa Zgrabczynska doubted that any circus director or zoo manager would subject animals to such conditions - after all , their animals ' health is key to their livelihood .
`` I think this was a deadly journey for the tigers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the black market can be very high and animal parts are even more expensive than a live animal , '' she said .
In the documentation the tigers were described as a `` gift '' for a zoo called Skazka ( `` fairy tale '' in English ) in Derbent , Dagestan .
Ms Zgrabczynska believes the `` gift '' description was a ruse to get round Cites - the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species .
Tigers are among the many species that Cites is designed to protect .
She told @ @ @ @ @ @ @ kept in private zoos in Russia or their body parts are sold , and then so-called medicines are made out of them , which you really ca n't describe as medicines .
`` A tiger 's teeth , liver or some other parts can be sold for big sums . ''
Polish prosecutors are investigating the incident , but so far nobody has been charged .
Andrea Casini at the Italian animal welfare group LAV said `` I do n't have proof - nobody has - but I guess they were taking the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to use in eastern medicine '' .
He said it was very unlikely that any zoo would want to receive 10 tigers .
Poachers have decimated Amur tigers in Russia 's far east , partly because of the demand for tiger parts in Chinese traditional medicine .
UN and Interpol data reveal that the criminal trade in wild animals is the most lucrative after drugs , human trafficking and arms deliveries .
The wildlife trade generates annual turnover of about $ 200m ( £153m ) , and cross-border sales are often disguised as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ channel TVN24 got confirmation from an Italian circus family called Montico , based near Rome , that they had sent the tigers on the marathon journey to Russia .
Gaetano Montico , an animal trainer , admitted that Skazka zoo was the customer , but did not go into detail .
The Monticos stage an international circus festival every autumn in Latina , just south of Rome .
Russian circus performers have participated .
`` The tigers were brought to us by a man who could no longer look after them , '' @ @ @ @ @ @ @ arrived from abroad , from various places - zoos and circuses , '' he said .
The Poznan Zoo rescuers said the tigers ' docile behaviour suggested they had been tamed in a circus .
BBC Russian tracked down the woman who ran Skazka zoo - Irina Kulikovskaya - and she confirmed she was to have received the tigers .

But she shrugged it off , saying `` of course if they are well in Spain that 'll make me happy - I 'm an animal lover '' .
The variation in law enforcement from country to country creates opportunities for wildlife traders .
Mr Casini at the LAV welfare group says Italy has drafted a law to ban the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ `` Similar laws exist in some other European countries , '' he said , but added that this could prompt circuses to send their big cats away to less regulated places .

bbc--2020-01-25--Trump impeachment trial: What happened so far

Lawyers representing President Donald Trump have begun their defence of the US leader in his impeachment trial .
It comes after Democrats wrapped up their presentation in the case for his removal on Friday .
Democratic congressmen who serve as prosecutors in the trial have laid out meticulous evidence over three days that they said proved Mr Trump had abused his power and obstructed Congress .
They alleged that he pressured Ukraine to dig up political dirt on Joe Biden , a domestic rival , and that he sought to hide the evidence from Congress , another impeachable offence .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ Biden and his son Hunter were involved in a corrupt business scheme in Ukraine .
As they opened their defence on Saturday , the president 's lawyers said he had done `` absolutely nothing wrong '' .
Here 's a look back at what happened this week , and what we can expect to see in the coming days , with the help of the BBC 's Anthony Zurcher .
Proceedings began on Tuesday with a tussle between Democrats and Republicans over the rules of the trial .
Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch @ @ @ @ @ @ @ opening arguments by both sides , before extending it to three after protests from Democrats .
Mr McConnell has delayed until next week debate over motions from Democrats to allow new witnesses to be called and fresh evidence submitted .
Democratic congressman Adam Schiff , the head of seven impeachment managers who serve as prosecutors , opened oral arguments to a packed Senate chamber on Wednesday .
Mr Schiff said the president 's actions were exactly what the Founding Fathers feared when they came up with impeachment - `` a remedy as powerful @ @ @ @ @ @ @ combat '' , Mr Schiff said .
The impeachment managers walked the senators through testimony gathered during depositions and committee hearings last year that they say points to a scheme by Mr Trump and his advisers to lean on Ukraine to investigate the Bidens .
The managers interspersed their oral arguments with audio and video tape , using the president 's own words - including a now-infamous call with the president of Ukraine - in their effort to portray him as guilty .
They directly addressed the claims against the Bidens - a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ foot ahead of the president 's defence .
Representative Hakeem Jefferies , an impeachment manager , eschewed the founding fathers , choosing instead to quote the late Brooklyn rapper Notorious BIG .
`` And if you do n't know , now you know , '' he said - a famous line from the song .
He stood next to a picture of the rapper mounted on an easel - a first for the Senate chamber .
• Trump impeachment trial : All you need to know • Who 's who in the Trump-Ukraine @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tackled the obstruction of Congress charge .
The managers argued that Mr Trump 's refusal to allow certain members of his administration to answer questions from the House of Representatives was akin to hiding information from a grand jury investigation .
Anthony 's take on the prosecution : The Democrats were determined to squeeze every drop out of the opportunity they were afforded .
Republican senators , who had to sit through the marathon sessions - Schiff , alone , would speak for hours at a time - criticised the presentation as repetitive @ @ @ @ @ @ @ For three days the Democratic case against the president , broadcast during the daytime on US network television and gavel-to-gavel on cable news networks , was ubiquitous .
It was unavoidable .
It may not be nearly enough to convince the requisite number of Republican senators , but the uninterrupted fusillade was as much geared toward public opinion as it was towards the people in the Capitol .
The defence case so far The president 's defence team is expected to focus on their accusations about the Bidens .
Responding to the impeachment @ @ @ @ @ @ @ members of the defence team said on Thursday that the Democrats had essentially invited them to do so .
`` What I do n't understand is that , for the last five hours , it 's been a lot about Joe Biden , '' said Jay Sekulow , the president 's personal lawyer .
`` They kind of opened the door for that response . ''
`` Today the House Democrats - perhaps unintentionally - they threw Joe Biden under the bus , '' said Ted Cruz , Republican senator from Texas .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ of time to present their case as the Democrats did - 24 hours over three days .
They began on Saturday with a two-hour session in which they said the president had done nothing wrong .
The defence argued that Mr Trump had acted in the national interests in the phone call with the Ukrainian president , with Deputy White House Counsel Mike Purpura pinpointing a line from the transcript in which Mr Trump asked Volodymyr Zelensky to `` do us a favour '' , rather than `` me '' .
Mr Purpura @ @ @ @ @ @ @ quo , saying Mr Zelensky `` says he felt no pressure '' .
The defence accused the Democrats of trying to remove Mr Trump from the ballot this year , and said the American electorate should be allowed to decide for themselves .
The defence will continue its arguments on Monday .
When this is over , they will again tussle over whether to introduce new witnesses .
• 'No crime , no impeachment ' - is that true ?
Anthony 's take on the defence : While the Democratic presentation was an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ defence promises to be a much leaner affair .
They benefit from starting with a commanding lead in the Senate vote count and , in effect , only need to provide a modicum of cover for their party faithful .
Up until now , their strategy has been to offer a wide array of defences , allowing Republicans to pick and choose what to use .
As with any trial , the burden is on the prosecution to construct a cohesive compelling narrative , while the other side need only poke holes and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to present a `` robust '' defence , which will probably include going on the attack - against Democrats and their motivations and against Joe Biden and his family .
While they have the unfortunate luck of starting their case on a Saturday morning , by the beginning of next week they will have a much bigger audience and , at least in this round , the final word .

"Like war, impeachment is hell," Mr Starr said on Monday. "It's filled with acrimony and divides the country like nothing else. Those of us who lived through the Clinton impeachment understand that in a deep and personal way."


bbc--2020-01-25--Wood stars with bat and ball to give England control of Test

Mark Wood starred with bat and ball to give England complete control of the fourth Test against South Africa on a superbly entertaining second day in Johannesburg .
Wood crashed 35 not out in a last-wicket stand of 82 with Stuart Broad that took England to 400 all out , then claimed 3-21 to help reduce the Proteas to 88-6 .

One slight negative in England 's day was the continuing struggle of wicketkeeper Jos Buttler , who gave away his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ again untidy with the gloves .
From 192-4 overnight , and after a 45-minute delay for rain , Root and Pope were able to score freely against South Africa 's baffling short-pitched tactics .
When the speedy Nortje found the right length , the turnaround was instant .
Pope dragged on trying to leave , while Root , who had just been dropped , loosely edged to slip and Curran chased a wide one for a golden duck .
Woakes ' 32 steadied England before his edge to first slip gave Nortje a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ verge of being bowled out .
As Wood and Broad threw the bat at virtually every delivery , the ball flew to all parts of The Wanderers - fielders scattered and the bowlers lost their composure .
Broad hooked and lofted down the ground , Wood cleared his front leg to slap two outrageous sixes over cover .
Between them , they hit seven maximums .
When Broad finally top-edged Dane Paterson to deep square leg for 43 , their partnership was England 's highest for the 10th wicket in an overseas Test @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and on such a good pitch , South Africa were left to rue their decision to mirror England 's five-strong pace attack - they looked desperately short of a spinner during the Wood-Broad partnership .
England , though , showed they had no need for a frontline slow bowler by the way their fast men tore in , offering few opportunities to score , challenging the outside edge and causing the batsmen to hop around .
Wood and Woakes in particular were superb in a post-tea spell that finally resulted in Wood having @ @ @ @ @ @ @ clocked at 94mph .
Curran , himself finding extra pace , had Rassie van der Dussen poke to second slip , and Dean Elgar tamely patted Stokes to Woakes at point .
Woakes got the wicket he deserved by nipping one back to have Faf du Plessis lbw and Stokes took a fine tumbling catch at second slip when another searing Wood delivery took Bavuma 's edge .
It looked as though the untroubled Quinton de Kock would be seen to the close by the brave Nortje , only for the nightwatchman to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the final ball of the day .
England pace bowler Chris Woakes told the TMS podcast : `` Having Woody in the group is always good , he always makes it a little bit louder .
He 's not played much cricket since that World Cup final and it 's great to see him bowling at full tilt .
He 's a really important bowler to have in your side in these conditions when you need that something special and that bit of pace .
His batting has been incredible .
He 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ credit for . ''
BBC cricket correspondent Jonathan Agnew : `` There was that moment when South Africa had a chance , but they were blown away by Wood and Broad slamming sixes all over the place .
South Africa 's innings never got going ; they have been just grinding along at two an over .
The thing we might not look forward to tomorrow is Joe Root inevitably batting on . ''
Former England assistant coach Paul Farbrace on The Cricket Social : `` The difference today has been the discipline @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to South Africa .
It 's England 's day and it 's England 's series .
They deserve to win this . ''
Ex-England batsman Vikram Solanki : `` It 's been the perfect day for England .
Rightly so , Wood will take all the accolades but the bowling group put together a real partnership against an inexperienced batting line-up . ''

Mark Wood hit 35 not out and took two wickets
Fourth Test, Johannesburg, (day two of five): England 400: Crawley 66, Root 59; Nortje 5-110 South Africa 88-6: De Kock 32*; Wood 3-21 South Africa trail by 312 runs Scorecard
Mark Wood starred with bat and ball to give England complete control of the fourth Test against South Africa on a superbly entertaining second day in Johannesburg.
Wood crashed 35 not out in a last-wicket stand of 82 with Stuart Broad that took England to 400 all out, then claimed 3-21 to help reduce the Proteas to 88-6.
England had earlier been at risk of surrendering the initiative, losing three wickets for 11 runs in an overall slip to 318-9 after Joe Root and Ollie Pope both made half-centuries in a stand of 101.

Wood was supported by some excellent catching and a wicket apiece for Sam Curran, Chris Woakes and Ben Stokes.
Leading by 312 runs leaves England perfectly placed to wrap up a series win. At 2-1 up, they need only a draw at The Wanderers, while victory would mean they have won three Tests in a single series in South Africa for the first time since 1913.
Meanwhile, Stokes has been fined 15% of his match fee for swearing at a spectator after being dismissed on day one.
Stokes accepted an International Cricket Council charge of using an "an audible obscenity during an international match" and was also given one demerit point.
Wood leaves South Africa on brink
This was another action-packed day in what has been a thoroughly enjoyable series, one that continued the trend of England improvement and South African regression.
The pace and bounce in this pitch has given encouragement to the pace bowlers and confidence to batsmen alike. The thin atmosphere at high altitude can help the ball travel either from the hand or off the bat.
The conditions are perfect for Wood, who bowls at high speed and is happy to swing the blade. Recalled for the last Test, he marked his first England appearance since the World Cup final by clubbing 42 and taking three wickets in the second innings.
Here, he was at the crease when the match was in the balance. Root and Pope had cashed in on some poor South African bowling and tactics, only for the Proteas to be inspired into a fightback by Nortje, who picked up his first five-wicket haul in Tests.
But faced with the prospect of bowling the tourists out for a manageable first-innings total, South Africa were dazed by the Wood and Broad assault, then floored by the Wood-led England attack.
One slight negative in England's day was the continuing struggle of wicketkeeper Jos Buttler, who gave away his wicket with a wild swipe and was again untidy with the gloves.
Wood and Broad flay Proteas
From 192-4 overnight, and after a 45-minute delay for rain, Root and Pope were able to score freely against South Africa's baffling short-pitched tactics.
When the speedy Nortje found the right length, the turnaround was instant. Pope dragged on trying to leave, while Root, who had just been dropped, loosely edged to slip and Curran chased a wide one for a golden duck.
Woakes' 32 steadied England before his edge to first slip gave Nortje a fifth wicket and left England on the verge of being bowled out.
Cue the carnage.
As Wood and Broad threw the bat at virtually every delivery, the ball flew to all parts of The Wanderers - fielders scattered and the bowlers lost their composure.
Broad hooked and lofted down the ground, Wood cleared his front leg to slap two outrageous sixes over cover. Between them, they hit seven maximums.
When Broad finally top-edged Dane Paterson to deep square leg for 43, their partnership was England's highest for the 10th wicket in an overseas Test since 1923.
Stuart Broad's 43 came from 28 deliveries and included four sixes
Pacemen pound away
In the warm sunshine and on such a good pitch, South Africa were left to rue their decision to mirror England's five-strong pace attack - they looked desperately short of a spinner during the Wood-Broad partnership.
England, though, showed they had no need for a frontline slow bowler by the way their fast men tore in, offering few opportunities to score, challenging the outside edge and causing the batsmen to hop around.
Wood and Woakes in particular were superb in a post-tea spell that finally resulted in Wood having Malan feather to Buttler with a delivery clocked at 94mph.
Curran, himself finding extra pace, had Rassie van der Dussen poke to second slip, and Dean Elgar tamely patted Stokes to Woakes at point.
Woakes got the wicket he deserved by nipping one back to have Faf du Plessis lbw and Stokes took a fine tumbling catch at second slip when another searing Wood delivery took Bavuma's edge.
It looked as though the untroubled Quinton de Kock would be seen to the close by the brave Nortje, only for the nightwatchman to give a thick edge to gully from the final ball of the day.
'Woody makes things a little bit louder'
England pace bowler Chris Woakes told the TMS podcast: "Having Woody in the group is always good, he always makes it a little bit louder. He's not played much cricket since that World Cup final and it's great to see him bowling at full tilt. He's a really important bowler to have in your side in these conditions when you need that something special and that bit of pace. His batting has been incredible. He's a better batsman that he gives himself credit for."
BBC cricket correspondent Jonathan Agnew: "There was that moment when South Africa had a chance, but they were blown away by Wood and Broad slamming sixes all over the place. South Africa's innings never got going; they have been just grinding along at two an over. The thing we might not look forward to tomorrow is Joe Root inevitably batting on."
Former England assistant coach Paul Farbrace on The Cricket Social: "The difference today has been the discipline and patience of the England attack compared to South Africa. It's England's day and it's England's series. They deserve to win this."
Ex-England batsman Vikram Solanki: "It's been the perfect day for England. Rightly so, Wood will take all the accolades but the bowling group put together a real partnership against an inexperienced batting line-up."

bbc--2020-01-25--'Did it feel a bit sweeter to win here? Yes' - Bilic's West Brom knock out dismal West Ham

Slaven Bilic enjoyed a winning return to London Stadium as a dismal performance by West Ham saw them crash out of the FA Cup at the hands of his West Brom side .
The Croat , facing the Hammers for the first time since they sacked him 2017 , told Match of the Day afterwards : `` Every time you come back to a place you have so many good emotions about , of course you want to do well .
`` So it is great for us , for me personally and for Dicksy [ West Ham cult hero @ @ @ @ @ @ @ `` Did it feel a bit sweeter to win here ?
Yes , a bit to be fair , but it is not that I am sour or that I had a point to prove here .
I just wanted to win .

It was a great performance by us - a complete one . ''
Conor Townsend 's rasping early strike proved enough to send the Baggies through to the fifth round , although the Championship leaders had enough chances to win by a much bigger @ @ @ @ @ @ @ response , even after West Brom had defender Semi Ajayi sent off for his second booking with 18 minutes remaining .
Hammers boss David Moyes had named a strong line-up but his side took until the 90th minute - when Declan Rice tested Jonathan Bond from distance - to muster a shot on target , In contrast , West Brom were a constant threat while they had 11 men , with Charlie Austin twice going close and Kyle Edwards also testing Darren Randolph .
Bilic had made it clear before the game that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but his side go into the hat for Monday 's draw .
• Watch in-play clips and follow live text commentary of the rest of Saturday 's FA Cup action here Hammers left to focus on battle for survival Bilic made eight changes from the team that lost at home to Stoke on Monday , his side 's latest slip-up in a run that has seen them fail to win in the league since 14 December .
But the visitors were still too strong for a disjointed West Ham side who repeatedly gave @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
The hosts had plenty of chances to clear the danger in the lead up to West Brom 's goal but Carlos Sanchez 's clearance cannoned off Issa Diop into the path of Townsend , who had time to take a touch and pick his spot .
After West Ham were booed off at the break , Moyes made a triple half-time substitution , bringing on Michail Antonio , Angelo Ogbonna and Mark Noble .
`` We did not start the game well , '' Moyes said .
`` We gave up opportunities @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and they were better than us in the opening period and they got their goal in that time .
`` We were a bit fortunate we did not concede another goal but we got through to half-time and I made a decision to make a few changes .

"We big-time deserved it. It was a great performance by us - a complete one."
Conor Townsend's rasping early strike proved enough to send the Baggies through to the fifth round, although the Championship leaders had enough chances to win by a much bigger margin.
West Ham offered little in response, even after West Brom had defender Semi Ajayi sent off for his second booking with 18 minutes remaining.
Hammers boss David Moyes had named a strong line-up but his side took until the 90th minute - when Declan Rice tested Jonathan Bond from distance - to muster a shot on target,
In contrast, West Brom were a constant threat while they had 11 men, with Charlie Austin twice going close and Kyle Edwards also testing Darren Randolph.
Bilic had made it clear before the game that promotion is his priority this season - but his side go into the hat for Monday's draw.
Hammers left to focus on battle for survival
Bilic made eight changes from the team that lost at home to Stoke on Monday, his side's latest slip-up in a run that has seen them fail to win in the league since 14 December.
But the visitors were still too strong for a disjointed West Ham side who repeatedly gave the ball away in the early stages.
The hosts had plenty of chances to clear the danger in the lead up to West Brom's goal but Carlos Sanchez's clearance cannoned off Issa Diop into the path of Townsend, who had time to take a touch and pick his spot.
Townsend's winner at London Stadium was the left-back's first goal for the Baggies since he joined the club in 2018
After West Ham were booed off at the break, Moyes made a triple half-time substitution, bringing on Michail Antonio, Angelo Ogbonna and Mark Noble.
"We did not start the game well," Moyes said. "We gave up opportunities in the early part of the game and they were better than us in the opening period and they got their goal in that time.
"We were a bit fortunate we did not concede another goal but we got through to half-time and I made a decision to make a few changes.
"I had seen too many poor passes, too many balls being kicked off the pitch and not enough good play. We had to attempt to get through or at least get a draw but we were not quite able to get there."
Antonio at least gave the West Brom defence something to worry about with his runs down either flank, but their best chance of an equaliser came and went when Noble blazed over when well placed in the final moments.
Defeat means the Hammers have only a battle for survival at the bottom of the Premier League to look forward to, and this was not a performance that will give their fans much optimism that they can beat the drop.
Man of the match - Filip Krovinovic (West Brom)
There were plenty of candidates for the accolade of the Baggies' best player but the craft of Krovinovic stood out and gave his side's 5,000 travelling fans plenty to shout about, before he was substituted as his side looked to see out the game once Ajayi was sent off
What next? A big week for West Ham
This is a big week for West Ham and it has got off to the worst possible start.
The Hammers, who are only above the drop zone on goal difference, are back in Premier League action when they host leaders Liverpool on Wednesday (19:45 GMT) in a game that was postponed before Christmas because the Reds were playing in the Club World Cup.
Then Moyes' side, who have won only one of their past eight home league games, are back at London Stadium to play relegation rivals Brighton next Saturday (15:00).
West Brom, meanwhile, must hope they can carry their FA Cup form into the Championship as they look to end their wait for a league win at Cardiff on Tuesday (19:45) or at home to Luton on Saturday (15:00).

Nick Kyrgios will face top seed Rafael Nadal in the last 16 at the Australian Open after a five-set win over Karen Khachanov.
Kyrgios, who missed match points in the third and fourth sets, won 6-2 7-6 (7-5) 6-7 (6-8) 6-7 (7-9) 7-6 (10-8).
The Australian, 24, needed nearly four-and-a-half hours to win a tense third-round match against the Russian - having led by two sets and a break.
But he came through in a final-set tie-break at a boisterous Melbourne Arena.

Nick Kyrgios also had to overcome a thigh injury which he described as "feeling something sharp" and needed a medical timeout in the first set
The prospect of another meeting between Kyrgios and Nadal has been a tantalising one since the Australian Open draw was made nine days ago.
Kyrgios has previously described Nadal as "super salty", while Nadal has been visibly irritated by the Australian's erratic on-court behaviour in the past.
To add further spice to a highly-anticipated blockbuster, Kyrgios cheekily mocked Nadal's superstitious service routine in his second-round win over France's Gilles Simon.
And, after Nadal thrashed Carreno Busta in his "best match of the tournament", Kyrgios ensured it would happen by seeing off 16th seed Khachanov.
"Whatever happens between us, he [Nadal] is an amazing player. Arguably the greatest of all time," Kyrgios said.
"At the end of the day, we're two different tennis players. We go about it completely different."
After clinching victory over Khachanov, Kyrgios fell to the court in celebration and laid out on the baseline before rising to wearily take the acclaim of the crowd.
Few would have predicted the drama which followed after Kyrgios, with his generally more relaxed demeanour, bettered Khachanov in all the key areas during the first two sets.

Up next, the world number one
Nadal, 33, was sharp on serve as he raced into a two-set lead in his match, allowing 27th seed Carreno Busta just five return points.
Carreno Busta fared little better in the third as 2009 champion Nadal wrapped up a one-sided win over his friend, with whom he helped Spain win the Davis Cup in November in one hour and 38 minutes.
Nadal set the tone by breaking in the second game of the match, pinching Carreno Busta's serve another four times on a sun-soaked Rod Laver Arena.
"It was my best match of the tournament without a doubt," said Nadal, who hit 42 winners and made just seven unforced errors.
"When the conditions are warmer, the ball bounces higher and flies through the air. That helps my game.
"I did very well with my serves and started to hit some forehands down the line. That is key for me."
Victory also continued Nadal's dominance over his compatriots. The Majorcan left-hander has now won his past 18 matches against Spanish opposition, stretching back to a 2016 Australian Open first-round defeat by Fernando Verdasco.

bbc--2020-01-26--China coronavirus 'spreads before symptoms show'

A new coronavirus that has spread to almost 2,000 people is infectious in its incubation period - before symptoms show - making it harder to contain , Chinese officials say .
Some 56 people have died from the virus .
Health minister Ma Xiaowei told reporters the ability of the virus to spread appeared to be strengthening .
Wuhan in Hubei , the source of the outbreak , is in effective lockdown .
• Wuhan : The London-sized city where the virus began • How do you quarantine a city - and does it work ?
The infections were at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Ma Xiaowei said .
Officials announced that the sale of all wildlife in China would be banned from Sunday .
The virus is thought to have originated in animals , but no cause has been officially identified .
In humans , the incubation period - during which a person has the disease , but no symptoms yet - ranges from between one and 14 days , officials believe .
Without symptoms , a person may not know they have the infection , but still be able to spread it .
This is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the virus and the lengths China will have to go to stop it .
People with Sars ( the last deadly coronavirus outbreak to hit China ) and Ebola are contagious only when symptoms appear .
Such outbreaks are relatively easy to stop - identify and isolate people who are sick and monitor anyone they came into contact with .
Flu , however , is the most famous example of a virus that you spread before you even know you 're ill. We are not at the stage where people are saying this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ flu .
But stopping such `` symptomless spreaders '' will make the job of the Chinese authorities much harder .
There are still crucial questions - how infectious are people during the incubation period and did any of the patients outside China spread the disease in those countries before becoming sick ?
And why did China 's National Health Commission say the transmission ability of this virus is getting stronger ?
What 's it like in Wuhan ?
Sophie , from the UK , is inside locked-down Wuhan .
She told the BBC @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . ''
`` We 've been stuck in the house four days .
We found out about the virus on 31 December .
It 's just got worse and worse .
Now it 's really bad , '' she said .
`` It 's scary , we 've heard the virus can stay in the system for two weeks without somebody showing signs they 're sick .
`` There 's such a spotlight on us now .
Our families are pretty worried . ''
With no taxis on the streets , volunteer drivers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ `` There are no cars , so we are responsible for bringing people there ( to hospital ) , and we take them back , afterwards we will do disinfecting .

`` There has to be someone who does this .
We 're from Wuhan , and even you guys [ journalists ] are here to help us , our own citizens should also come out to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . ''
What is the virus ?
The virus itself is a new , or `` novel '' coronavirus - a family that normally affects animals .

bbc--2020-01-26--Boeing 777X: World’s largest twin-engine jet completes first flight

Boeing has successfully completed the first test flight of the world 's largest twin-engined plane , the 777X .
It comes as the firm attempts to boost its image after its 737 Max plane was grounded last year following two fatal crashes that killed 346 people .
The flight took off near Seattle and lasted four hours .
Two attempts were called off this week due to high winds .
Further tests are needed before the aircraft enters service with Emirates next year .
The 252-foot-long passenger plane had been due to launch this year but has been delayed by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a larger and more efficient version of Boeing 's successful 777 mini-jumbo .
Standout features include folding wingtips and the world 's largest commercial engines .
`` It represents the great things we can do as a company , '' said 777X marketing director Wendy Sowers .
Boeing says it has sold 309 of the plane - worth more than $ 442 million each at list prices .
The plane will go head-to-head with the Airbus A350-1000 which seats about 360 passengers .
Boeing has been in crisis since the 737 Max crashes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ each other - first in Indonesia in October 2018 and then in Ethiopia last March .
It is facing multiple investigations amid accusations that it sacrificed safety as it rushed to get its jets to customers .

The grounding of the 737 Max , which had been Boeing 's best-selling plane , is estimated to have already cost Boeing more than $ 9bn .

Boeing has been in crisis since the 737 Max crashes, which occurred within five months of each other - first in Indonesia in October 2018 and then in Ethiopia last March.
