bbc--2020-01-29--Two satellites set for close shave over US city of Pittsburgh

Two satellites hurtling across the sky at nearly 33,000 mph ( 53,000 km/h ) are predicted to pass dangerously close to one another over Pennsylvania .
A group tracking the satellites said it predicted a 1 in 20 chance of a collision , calling it `` alarming '' .
The satellites are not in operation , but it is feared a collision could create pieces of debris that would damage other objects in orbit .
The last time a major satellite collision occurred was in 2009 .
The satellites may pass within 40ft ( 12m ) of each other , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Pittsburgh at around 18:30 local time .
LeoLabs , a group that tracks space debris , reported that `` it is still unlikely that these objects will collide '' , but that due to the size of the satellites , the chance of collision had gone up from prior calculations .
The objects in question are an Infrared Astronomical Satellite ( IRAS ) that was launched in 1983 and another experimental US craft , the GGSE-4 satellite , launched in 1967 .
The IRAS satellite has a 60ft ( 18m ) boom - @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sails - trailing it , which increased the probability of collision as of Tuesday afternoon calculations by LeoLabs .
Jonathan McDowell , an astronomer at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics , said that given the size of the satellites - about the size of a car and a rubbish bin - `` a 15-to-30 metre predicted miss distance is alarming '' - a sentiment echoed by LeoLabs .
If they do collide , the debris poses no threat to the city , experts say , it will burn up in the atmosphere before @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the debris cloud that remains in orbit could threaten other satellites .
Debris can remain in orbit for decades to centuries .
The last large collision of satellites happened in 2009 , when a US commercial Iridium spacecraft hit a defunct Russian satellite over Siberia , producing thousands of pieces of debris .
• Trouble in orbit : the growing problem of space junk International guidelines state that satellites in low earth orbit must be removed from orbit 25 years after being decommissioned , but these satellites were launched prior to the rule @ @ @ @ @ @ @ over the importance of cleaning up space debris .
`` Events like this highlight the need for responsible , timely de-orbiting of satellites for space sustainability moving forward , '' LeoLabs said .
Currently , there are around 2,000 active satellites orbiting the earth .
There are also more than 23,000 pieces of debris larger than 10cm ( 4in ) in orbit , according to Nasa .
According to data from the Union of Concerned Scientists , the US has 1,007 operating satellites , the most by far of any country .
The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology ( MIT ) Technology Review stated by 2025 , there could be as many as 1,100 new satellites launching per year .

bbc--2020-01-29--France to ban culling of unwanted male chicks by end of 2021

France has pledged to outlaw the practice of culling unwanted male chicks by the end of 2021 , as part of animal welfare reforms .
About seven billion male chicks - not wanted for meat or eggs - are killed around the world each year , usually in shredding machines or by gas .
The government said new methods were emerging that would make it possible to test the sex of embryos inside the egg .
But some campaigners said the reforms did not go far enough .
What are the changes in France ?
French Agriculture Minister Didier Guillaume @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in Paris on Tuesday .
`` From the end of 2021 , nothing will be like it was before , '' he said .
• Do people know where their chicken comes from ?
• Is it cruel to stun animals with CO2 ?
Mr Guillaume said he hoped a method would soon be developed that would allow the gender of a chick to be determined before it had hatched .
Researchers have been working on the issue for years , but are yet to come up with a solution that works on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will make France one of the first countries to outlaw the practice of culling male chicks .
A ban in Switzerland came into effect earlier this year , while a top court in Germany has ruled that the practice can continue on a temporary basis until an alternative can be found .
France and Germany last year said they would work together to put an end to mass chick culling .
Mr Guillaume also announced on Tuesday that the practice of castrating piglets without anaesthesia would be banned by the end of 2021 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ boar taint '' - a potent smell or taste that can occur in the meat of non-neutered pigs .
Several countries have already made the use of anaesthesia obligatory .
The mass-killing of male chicks shortly after birth is common practice in food production around the world .
For the billions of hens used in egg and poultry farming every year , a similar number of male chicks are killed shortly after birth .
Male chicks are viewed in the industry as commercially useless , because they grow more slowly than hens so @ @ @ @ @ @ @ After sorting , the most common methods of killing involve asphyxiation by gassing or maceration in high-speed grinders .
What has the response been ?
Many animal rights activists welcomed the changes in France but said they did not go far enough .
They are `` a step in the right direction , but still inadequate '' , Anissa Putois of the campaigning group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals ( Peta ) told AFP news agency .
French animal protection group L214 said the measures were `` not ambitious '' and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ '' .
`` There is nothing on slaughter conditions , nor on how to exit from intensive animal farming , '' it said , according to AFP .

bbc--2020-01-29--Australia fires: NSW inquiry to probe climate change impact

The Australian state of New South Wales ( NSW ) has announced an independent inquiry into the ongoing bushfires , promising to `` leave no stone unturned '' .
The six-month inquiry will examine the causes of the fires , as well as how the state prepared and responded to them .
State Premier Gladys Berejiklian said the inquiry would consider how climate change , human activity and other factors had contributed to the blazes .
Bushfires have killed 25 people in NSW and damaged thousands of homes .
Ms Berejiklian said she hoped the inquiry would allow the state @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the catastrophic conditions we 've faced , and apply these learnings for the future '' .
• Is climate change to blame for Australia 's fires ?
• Why Australia probably does n't need more koala mittens '' NSW is incredibly proud of the efforts of all our emergency services personnel and volunteers throughout this ongoing bushfire season , but the scale of these fires has been unprecedented and we must leave no stone unturned , '' she said .
The inquiry , headed by former NSW Police deputy commissioner Dave Owens and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , is set to begin in the coming days .
The inclusion of climate change in the probe comes amid debate over the issue in Australia , with critics accusing Prime Minister Scott Morrison of inaction .
Australia is one of the highest emitters of carbon pollution per capita , largely because it is still heavily reliant on coal-fired power .
Mr Morrison has insisted that Australia is meeting the challenge `` better than most countries '' and fulfilling international targets .
While climate change is not the direct cause of the bushfires @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hotter , drier climate would contribute to Australia 's fires becoming more frequent and more intense .

bbc--2020-01-29--Libya civil war: Macron accuses Erdogan of meddling in conflict

French President Emmanuel Macron has accused his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan of breaking his promise to stay out of Libya .
Mr Macron said Turkish warships accompanied by Syrian mercenaries had been spotted arriving in Libyan .
Mr Erdogan has not responded to the allegations .
Earlier this month , world leaders pledged not to interfere in Libya 's civil conflict and vowed to uphold a UN arms embargo .
Turkey supports the UN-backed Government of National Accord ( GNA ) in Tripoli while France has nurtured ties with the government 's rival , the rebel General Khalifa Haftar @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has fought back against an offensive launched by fighters loyal to Gen Haftar .
• Why is Libya so lawless ?
Mr Macron said the presence of Turkish warships was `` a clear violation '' of what President Erdogan had pledged in Berlin on 19 January during a conference on Libya with other world leaders .
Mr Macron called Turkey 's actions `` detrimental to the security of all Europeans and Sahelians '' .
The Sahel region , a semi-arid stretch of land just south of the Sahara Desert , has been a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for almost a decade .
There are fears that arms from Libya could flood into the Sahel region , where 4,500 French soldiers and more than 14,000 UN peacekeepers are based .
Leaders from the EU , Russia and Turkey were among those who committed to end foreign intervention in Libya 's war , and to uphold a UN arms embargo .
After the conference , German leader Angela Merkel stressed there was no military way to end the conflict , `` only a political solution '' .
UN Secretary-General António Guterres , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ present shared `` a strong commitment to stop '' any further escalation in the region .
He added , however , that he was `` very worried '' about reports that forces loyal to Gen Haftar had closed several key ports and a major oil pipeline in the country .
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov also expressed concerns .
He said afterwards that the major powers `` have not yet succeeded in launching a serious and stable dialogue '' between the warring parties .
What is happening in Libya ?
Libya has been @ @ @ @ @ @ @ which ousted long-time strongman Muammar Gaddafi .
Gen Haftar 's Libyan National Army ( LNA ) controls much of eastern Libya , and last April he launched an offensive against the GNA based in the capital , Tripoli .
His forces have so far been unable to take the city , but earlier this month the LNA captured the country 's third-biggest city , Sirte .
According to the UN , the fighting has killed hundreds of people and displaced thousands more from their homes .
A truce was announced earlier this month @ @ @ @ @ @ @ led by Prime Minister Fayez al-Serraj .
But both sides blame each other for reported breaches of the agreement , and attempts to broker a lasting ceasefire broke down last week at a summit in Moscow .
What about the role of foreign powers ?
The role of foreign states in the conflict has come into focus in recent months , with Turkey passing a controversial law to deploy troops to help GNA forces in Tripoli .
Gen Haftar 's LNA has the backing of Russia , Egypt , Saudi Arabia , the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Jordan .
Recently , UN Special Envoy to Libya Ghassan Salamé told the BBC 's Radio 4 Today Programme that a political solution to the conflict was best for all parties involved because Libya - with its vast geography , strong local identities , heavily armed population and weakened government infrastructure - was a difficult country for one group to control .

The Sahel region, a semi-arid stretch of land just south of the Sahara Desert, has been a frontline in the war against Islamist militancy for almost a decade. There are fears that arms from Libya could flood into the Sahel region, where 4,500 French soldiers and more than 14,000 UN peacekeepers are based.


bbc--2020-01-29--Roman Polanski 'French Oscar' nomination sparks outrage

Film director Roman Polanski , who was convicted of statutory rape in 1977 , has swept the nomination list for the 45th César awards for French cinema , sparking outrage .
Polanski 's film An Officer and a Spy , or J'accuse in French , received 12 nominations at the awards , which are the French equivalent of the Oscars .
The Polish-French director fled the US after his rape conviction in the 1970s .
He has since faced other accusations of sexual assault .
Alain Terzian , the head of the Césars , defended Polanski 's nominations , arguing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ moral positions '' in giving awards .
However , Céline Piques , spokeswoman for French feminist organisation Osez le Féminisme ( Dare to be Feminist ) told French TV channel LCI : `` I am shocked .
The 400 cinema professionals who voted for this nomination have applauded Polanski with 12 nominations - 12 is also the number of women today who accuse Roman Polanski of rape .
This is not the field of morality , this is the field of justice . ''
An Officer and a Spy is about the Dreyfus @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the late 1800s which saw a French Jewish army officer wrongly convicted of spying .
In September , the film won the Grand Jury Prize at the Venice Film Festival .
Two months later , however , French former actress Valentine Monnier accused Polanksi of an `` extremely violent '' assault and rape in 1975 , when she was aged 18 , in the latest in a series of sexual assault accusations against the director .
Monnier said that the release of Polanski 's most recent film had prompted her to speak @ @ @ @ @ @ @ time the Césars have faced controversy because of Polanski .
In 2017 , he was picked to head the award 's jury , but stepped down after the move sparked outrage .
What did Polanski do ?
The unlawful sex case against the 86-year-old director has dragged on for more than 40 years .
Polanski admitted unlawful sex with Samantha Geimer , who was a minor in 1977 , and served 42 days in prison , but later fled the US over concern that a plea bargain deal would be scrapped .
He @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has evaded various extradition attempts by US authorities .
France - where he lives - does not extradite its own citizens .
A Polish court also rejected a US request when he was filming in Krakow in 2015 .
In 2017 , Ms Geimer told a US court she had forgiven Polanski and wanted to move on , but the court refused her plea .
Polanski has also faced a number of new accusations in recent years .

However, Céline Piques, spokeswoman for French feminist organisation Osez le Féminisme (Dare to be Feminist) told French TV channel LCI: "I am shocked. The 400 cinema professionals who voted for this nomination have applauded Polanski with 12 nominations - 12 is also the number of women today who accuse Roman Polanski of rape. This is not the field of morality, this is the field of justice."

bbc--2020-01-29--Is visiting a strip club anti-feminist?

Is visiting a strip club anti-feminist?

Videos of the British pop star Dua Lipa dancing and giving money to performers at a strip club in LA pulled the singer to the centre of a debate : can a feminist go to a strip joint ?
Some commentators criticised the singer , tagging her as a bad feminist .
But many more rushed to her defence , noting that the male artists present were not subject to the same scrutiny .
`` Imagine trying to cancel a woman for going to a strip club and supporting other women , '' wrote one Twitter user .
`` I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it . ''
Women are not strangers to strip clubs in the US .
A cursory online search for `` bachelorette parties '' returns numerous pre-wedding packages , customised for women , in which an evening at a strip club is the headline event .
Nick Triantis , the owner of the Camelot strip club in Washington DC , told the BBC women had been coming to his club since it opened in 1980 .
`` I do n't even understand what the angle is there , '' Triantis said , adding that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ new '' .
So why did the Dua Lipa video provoke a reaction ?
Catlyn Ladd , an author and women 's studies professor in Colorado , and a former stripper herself , told the BBC the industry was double edged .
`` Sex work can be incredibly exploitative and it can also be empowering , '' she said .
`` Whether it 's exploitation depends on the exact environment and the exact personalities of those involved . ''
• The rise and fall of lap dancing • Is the American strip club @ @ @ @ @ @ @ stripper for more than five years in the early 2000s , using the income to help support herself as she earned her master 's degree at the University of Colorado in Boulder .
She said she experienced cruelty and condescension , but she also met her husband of over 20 years while dancing .
She has returned to strip clubs occasionally as a patron , since she stopped dancing , she said , often as a `` safety blanket '' for other friends .
As for the dancers in the Dua Lipa video @ @ @ @ @ @ @ `` probably having a really good night '' .
`` And good for them , '' she added .
Discomfort at seeing women as customers at strip clubs was legitimate , said Bernadette Barton , a gender studies professor and author of two books examining the experience of exotic dancers , because of the structural imbalance working against women in that environment .
`` Strip clubs are patriarchal organisations '' , she said .
`` The men are dressed and the women are naked . ''
So is it feminist for women to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Not particularly , '' Barton said , `` but it 's not up to me to say . ''
And there was a disparity in the reaction to the Dua Lipa , video , too , she said : the male celebrities who were with the pop star dodged criticism altogether .
`` I 'd rather be critical of the culture of the strip club , '' Barton said .
Barton wrote two books on the world of stripping - the first in 2006 and the second in 2017 .
She said the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was a rise in female customers .
She said some managers reported during the research for her second book that women accounted for up to 45 % of their customers - a figure she said was far higher than any she 'd heard when interviewing people in the industry for her first book .
And as for the dancers , female customers were often a welcome change , said Antonia Crane , an activist , professor and dancer who has logged more than 10,000 hours as a stripper over a 25-year career .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ clubs , it 's fun , '' Crane said .
`` Stripping is women 's labour .
The only that 's terrible about stripping and the sex industry in general are the unfair labour practices '' , she said - citing poor wages , exploitation , and sexual assault .
Supporting that labour was `` so important '' , Crane said .
And , she added , not hard to do .
`` Rule number one is pay her , '' she said .
`` Have fun and be nice . ''

So is it feminist for women to go to a strip club? "Not particularly," Barton said, "but it's not up to me to say." And there was a disparity in the reaction to the Dua Lipa, video, too, she said: the male celebrities who were with the pop star dodged criticism altogether.

Coronavirus: How are patients treated?

People confirmed to have the new coronavirus are being admitted to hospital - but what kind of treatment are they getting there and how effective is it ?
The virus is known to have killed 132 people in China and has spread to 16 other countries .

French Asians have taken to social media to complain of a backlash against them in response to the Chinese coronavirus outbreak .
China has already seen almost 6,000 cases and 132 deaths , and France has had four cases confirmed .
Anti-Asian racism has been reported in the UK and elsewhere , and now French Asians have complained of abuse on public transport and social media .

There was an outcry when local newspaper Le Courier Picard used the inflammatory headlines `` Alerte jaune '' @ @ @ @ @ @ @ péril jaune ? ''
( Yellow peril ? )

bbc--2020-01-30--A holiday camp for India's captive elephants

Once a year , some of India 's captive elephants are whisked off to a `` rejuvenation camp '' , where they are pampered and cared for by their caretakers .
Omkar Khandekar visited one such retreat in the southern state of Tamil Nadu .
After seven years of being a local celebrity , Akila the elephant knows how to pose for a selfie .
She looks at the camera , raises her trunk and holds still when the flash goes off .
It can get tiring , especially when there are hundreds of requests every day .
Despite this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ diligently at the Jambukeswarar temple .
These include blessing devotees , fetching water for rituals in which idols of the deity are bathed , and leading temple processions around the city , decked up in ceremonial finery .
And , of course , the selfies .
But every December , she gets to take a break .
`` When the truck rolls in , I do n't even have to ask her to hop in , '' Akila 's caretaker B Arjun said .
`` Soon , she will be with her friends @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 27,000 wild elephants .
A further 2,500 elephants are held in captivity across the states of Assam , Kerala , Rajasthan and Tamil Nadu .
The country is widely believed to be the `` birthplace of taming elephants for use by humans '' .
Elephants here have been held in captive by Indians for millennia .
But 17 years ago , after protests by animal rights activists over instances of handlers abusing and starving captive elephants , the government stepped in to give the animals a bit of respite .
As a result @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in temples around India are now brought to a `` rejuvenation camp '' each year , their caretakers in tow .
For several weeks , the animals unwind in a sprawling six-acre clearing in a forest at the foothills of Nilgiris , part of the country 's Western Ghats .
The camps were described as an animal welfare initiative and have become a popular annual event for the state 's temple elephants .
The one Akila and 27 other elephants are attending currently opened on 15 December last year , and will go @ @ @ @ @ @ @ $ 200,000 ( £153,960 ) to run .
• 'Oldest known elephant in captivity ' dies at 88 in India Supporters argue it is money well spent .
A break from the city for these elephants is therapeutic , explains S Selvaraj , a forest officer in the area .
`` Wild elephants live in herds of up to 35 members but there 's only one elephant in a temple , '' he says .
`` For 48 days here , they get to be around their own kind and have a normal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 16 years old , has been a regular at the camp since 2012 , the year she was sold to the temple .
Arjun , who has accompanied her every year , is a fourth-generation elephant caretaker .
At the camp , he bathes Akila twice a day , feeds her a special mix of grains , fruits and vegetables mixed with vitamin supplements and takes her for a walk around the grounds .
A team of vets are on hand to monitor the health of the camp 's large guests , while @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in subjects like elephant diet and exercise regimes .
Akila has even forged a friendship with Andal , an older elephant from another temple in the state , said Arjun .
But despite the shady trees and quiet , the getaway is a far cry from an elephant 's `` normal life '' .
The walled campus has eight watchtowers and a 1.5km ( 0.93 miles ) electric fence around its perimeter .
While the elephants appear well cared for , they spend most of their time in chains and are kept under @ @ @ @ @ @ @ And one six-week rejuvenation camp a year does little to assuage the stress of temple elephants ' everyday lives , activists say .
`` Elephants belong in jungles , not temples .
A six-week 'rejuvenation camp ' is like being let out on parole while being sentenced for life imprisonment , '' argues Sunish Subramanian , of the Plant and Animals Welfare Society in the western city of Mumbai .
`` Even at these camps , the animals are kept in chains and often in unhygienic conditions , '' he adds .
`` @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , temple elephants should be kept in the camps for most of the year - in much better conditions - and taken to the temples only during festivals . ''
Even among the company of their own , the elephants - like Andal and Akila - are n't allowed to get too close .
`` I have to make sure the two keep their distance - otherwise , it 'll be difficult to separate them when we go back , '' Arjun explains .
It is not just the animal rights activists who @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has become a tourist spot in recent years , attracting a steady stream of visitors from neighbouring villages .
Most watch , wide-eyed , from the barricades .
But not everyone outside the camp is happy .
In 2018 , a farmers ' union representing 23 villages nearby , petitioned a court to relocate the camp elsewhere .
The petition claimed that the scent of the animals - all female , as is the norm among temple elephants - attracted male elephants from the wild .
This has caused them to go on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ farmers depend on for their livelihood .
The union says 16 people have died in such incidents .
But the court rejected the petition .
Instead , it asked why there were human settlements in what was identified as an elephant corridor .
It also criticised the state government 's tokenism of rejuvenation camps .
`` Some day , '' it said , `` this court is going to ban the practice of keeping elephants in temples . ''
But Arjun ca n't bear the thought of parting with Akila .
`` I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he says .
`` She feeds my family , just like my mother used to .
Without her , I do n't know what to do . ''
But he also understands that his elephant can get lonely .
`` And that 's why I work twice as hard to make sure she does n't . ''

bbc--2020-01-29--Man City into EFL Cup final despite second-leg defeat by Man Utd

Pep Guardiola says Manchester City need to `` learn to be more clinical '' after they made difficult work of reaching their third successive Carabao Cup final .
Guardiola 's side will face Aston Villa at Wembley on 1 March - despite losing the second leg of their semi-final against Manchester United , advancing 3-2 on aggregate .
Leading 3-1 from the first leg at Old Trafford , the holders pushed forward in search of a goal to put the tie to bed but could find no way past an inspired David de Gea .
Instead , United put things @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Nemanja Matic put them ahead on the night with their first effort at goal .
United had created nothing in open play but City could only half-clear Fred 's free-kick and Matic swept a powerful first-time strike past Claudio Bravo .
`` Over 180 minutes we were better than United , '' said Guardiola .
`` We created chances to score a lot of goals and did n't convert .
We need to learn to be more clinical .
`` We played a side with incredible physicality .
The goal was from a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on target .
In both games , we were better . ''
City tried to respond after going behind - and De Gea , who had brilliantly denied Sergio Aguero and Riyad Mahrez in the opening minutes , was finally beaten when Raheem Sterling turned in Kevin de Bruyne 's cross , but the flag was already up for offside .
The scoreline made for an anxious atmosphere at Etihad Stadium at the break and more United chances followed in the second half , with Harry Maguire heading over and Anthony Martial bringing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the visitors were unable to score a second .
Sterling , still without a goal in 2020 , had a chance to settle his side 's nerves and restore their two-goal cushion when he ran clear in the second half but he dallied and eventually skied his shot .
More wastefulness from the home side followed , notably when the ball broke to substitute David Silva in front of goal but he chose to square to Ilkay Gundogan rather than shoot .
It was only when Matic was sent off for his second @ @ @ @ @ @ @ regained any sort of control of the game , and they were able to see out the remainder without any further scares to ensure their progress .
Guardiola 's side are into the final for a third successive year and will go for their seventh EFL Cup win when they face Villa in the final at Wembley on 1 March .
Only Liverpool , who have won it eight times , have a better record in the competition .
Guardiola wants his side to use their domestic cup games as preparation for next @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Madrid and , on this evidence , there is plenty of room for improvement .
It was not just in front of goal where City were careless - after falling behind to Matic 's goal , they frequently gave away possession too .
True , they restricted United to only a handful of further chances and never really seemed in danger of overall defeat , but considering they were 3-0 up before half-time in the first leg , this was an underwhelming way to progress .
Guardiola , who went with a strikerless @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a 3-2-4-1 formation here , and it gave his side the upper hand early on .
But the longer they went without taking their chances , the more hope United had - especially when Matic scored .
Of the opportunities City wasted , Sterling 's was the worst - and the England forward surely needs to find the net soon to boost his faltering confidence in front of goal .
He had time to pick his spot when De Bruyne sent him galloping clear but chose to cut inside past Victor Lindelof and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ defenders back when he finally blazed his shot over .
United kept the tie alive until the very end , when Fred fired a free-kick into the City wall from a dangerous position , but still had the consolation of being able to claim their second win at Etihad Stadium this season .
Their performance on this occasion did not repeat the attacking verve of their Premier League victory here before Christmas , when they repeatedly ripped apart City 's defence on the counter-attack , but there were still plenty of positives for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ result on the night .
The imminent arrival of Bruno Fernandes will bolster Solskjaer 's midfield options but , before his red card , Matic showed he still has plenty to offer in that department .

De Gea , too , has received plenty of criticism lately - so deserves to take credit here for helping United become only the second side to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ season .
His instinctive stop from Aguero 's header was his best save of the night , but he was equal to whatever City could throw at him .
'It was never a sending off .
An absolute joke ' - what they said Manchester City 's Ilkay Gundogan : `` We should have scored early in the first half .
We should have scored at least one or two goals today but it was n't to be .

It pleased me .
`` Of course it is hard to come here and score a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
It was never a sending off .
An absolute joke .

City played all right tonight - it was organisation and concentration that saw them through , but they also had a lot of the ball and played some really pretty football .
It was just in the final third where they were not as deadly as usual , but I do n't think that was down to City being awful ; it was more United being set up in a way that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
They went with five at the back when they were out of possession and Matic did not move from Maguire 's toes , so they were very tight and there were no gaps for City to play through them .

Manchester City are only the third team to reach the EFL Cup final in three successive seasons
Pep Guardiola says Manchester City need to "learn to be more clinical" after they made difficult work of reaching their third successive Carabao Cup final.
Guardiola's side will face Aston Villa at Wembley on 1 March despite losing the second leg of their semi-final against Manchester United, advancing 3-2 on aggregate.
Leading 3-1 from the first leg at Old Trafford, the holders pushed forward in search of a goal to put the tie to bed but could find no way past an inspired David de Gea.
Instead, United put things back in the balance before half-time when Nemanja Matic put them ahead on the night with their first effort at goal.
United had created nothing in open play but City could only half-clear Fred's free-kick and Matic swept a powerful first-time strike past Claudio Bravo.
"Over 180 minutes we were better than United," said Guardiola. "We created chances to score a lot of goals and didn't convert. We need to learn to be more clinical.
"We played a side with incredible physicality. The goal was from a set-piece. The first time they shot on target. In both games, we were better."

It was only when Matic was sent off for his second booking with 14 minutes remaining that City regained any sort of control of the game, and they were able to see out the remainder without any further scares to ensure their progress.
Guardiola's side are into the final for a third successive year and will go for their seventh EFL Cup win when they face Villa in the final at Wembley on 1 March.
Only Liverpool, who have won it eight times, have a better record in the competition.
Room for improvement for careless City
Guardiola wants his side to use their domestic cup games as preparation for next month's Champions League tie with Real Madrid and, on this evidence, there is plenty of room for improvement.
It was not just in front of goal where City were careless - after falling behind to Matic's goal, they frequently gave away possession too.
True, they restricted United to only a handful of further chances and never really seemed in danger of overall defeat, but considering they were 3-0 up before half-time in the first leg, this was an underwhelming way to progress.
Guardiola, who went with a strikerless 4-4-2 formation at Old Trafford, used a 3-2-4-1 formation here, and it gave his side the upper hand early on.
But the longer they went without taking their chances, the more hope United had - especially when Matic scored.
Of the opportunities City wasted, Sterling's was the worst - and the England forward surely needs to find the net soon to boost his faltering confidence in front of goal.
He had time to pick his spot when De Bruyne sent him galloping clear but chose to cut inside past Victor Lindelof and De Gea, and United had several defenders back when he finally blazed his shot over.
Plenty of positives for Man Utd
Nemanja Matic scored the only goal of the game before being sent off for a second bookable offence
United kept the tie alive until the very end, when Fred fired a free-kick into the City wall from a dangerous position, but still had the consolation of being able to claim their second win at Etihad Stadium this season.
Their performance on this occasion did not repeat the attacking verve of their Premier League victory here before Christmas, when they repeatedly ripped apart City's defence on the counter-attack, but there were still plenty of positives for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, other than the result on the night.
The imminent arrival of Bruno Fernandes will bolster Solskjaer's midfield options but, before his red card, Matic showed he still has plenty to offer in that department.
As well as his fine finish, the Serb made several timely interceptions and, along with Fred, helped United stem the tide after City's fast start.
De Gea, too, has received plenty of criticism lately - so deserves to take credit here for helping United become only the second side to stop City scoring at Etihad Stadium this season.
His instinctive stop from Aguero's header was his best save of the night, but he was equal to whatever City could throw at him.
Man of the match - David de Gea (Manchester United)
There have been calls from some quarters for Sergio Romero to replace him as Manchester United's number one, but De Gea repeatedly showed his class here
'It was never a sending off. An absolute joke' - what they said
Manchester City's Ilkay Gundogan: "We should have scored early in the first half. We should have scored at least one or two goals today but it wasn't to be.
"The manager said before the game this is now an experience, we have to survive and overcome. I think we can improve. It is a learning process."
Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer: "I am so proud of these players. They have beaten City twice at their ground. They have come so far these players. They have given me absolutely everything.
"We have come a long way. Even though we did not create too many clear cut chances, we pressed them back. It pleased me.
"Of course it is hard to come here and score a goal with 11, never mind 10. It was never a sending off. An absolute joke. How many times did they foul us?"

City played all right tonight - it was organisation and concentration that saw them through, but they also had a lot of the ball and played some really pretty football.
It was just in the final third where they were not as deadly as usual, but I don't think that was down to City being awful; it was more United being set up in a way that made it difficult to break them down.

From United's point of view - well, they are out but I can see why their manager Solskjaer was still quite happy with tonight's result.

bbc--2020-01-29--Liverpool beat West Ham to move 19 points clear

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp does n't feel as `` though anything is done '' despite his side reaching 70 points before the end of January and moving 19 points clear at the top of the Premier League .
Mohamed Salah 's first-half penalty and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain 's second-half effort delivered a 23rd victory in 24 matches for the Reds at West Ham .

And while Manuel Lanzini 's scuffed close-range shot and Robert Snodgrass ' hurried effort represented good opportunities for the hosts , Oxlade-Chamberlain 's goal ensured a comfortable conclusion to the evening for Klopp 's side , who could have scored again when Salah hit the post from 18 yards .
`` They 're as good as there 's been around , '' Moyes said .
`` It 's very difficult when @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Manchester United to say that but Liverpool are an excellent side . ''
For just over 30 minutes at least , West Ham gave manager Moyes hope that he could improve on his miserable record against Liverpool .
While his side fulfilled its first brief , to largely stifle their seemingly unstoppable opponents by remaining compact and deep , they offered little beyond that and looked vulnerable whenever they attacked .
And they were eventually punished when Diop was caught slightly out of position to bring down Origi .
From that moment it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a 17th top-flight defeat to the Reds - with the Scot having now won just three times in 28 attempts .
Despite Moyes ' generally concerned demeanour , there were bright spots for West Ham , who recently posted financial losses of £27.3m and stressed that retaining their Premier League status is `` an absolute necessity '' .
Nineteen-year-old Jeremy Ngakia caught the eye on his debut for the club and showed that their is life beyond veteran full-back Pablo Zabaleta .
The academy product settled after displaying early nerves and played a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to during the first half as he grew into the occasion .
It is now almost impossible to ignore the huge gap at the top of the Premier League between Liverpool and their rivals that this victory only served to enhance .

Like in recent victories against Tottenham , Manchester United and Wolves , Klopp 's side were far from their best .
While they dominated possession they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ penalty but it was still good enough to deliver a 23rd victory from 24 matches - taking them to 70 points before January is out .
Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez were barely troubled in defence while Jordan Henderson provided a controlling presence in midfield .

Oxlade-Chamberlain 's right-foot strike into the bottom left corner was the perfect demonstration , with Henderson initiating @ @ @ @ @ @ @ before Salah 's superb outside of the boot pass bisected a couple of home defenders to send the England midfielder through on goal .
Klopp 's side have now beaten every team in the Premier League this season at least once and were serenaded from the field by the club 's jubilant and expectant fans at the final whistle .

Mohamed Salah has now scored 66 goals in the Premier League since he arrived at Liverpool in 2017
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp doesn't feel as "though anything is done" despite his side reaching 70 points before the end of January and moving 19 points clear at the top of the Premier League.
Mohamed Salah's first-half penalty and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's second-half effort delivered a 23rd victory in 24 matches for the Reds at West Ham.
And their 15th consecutive win also maintained the relentless march towards a first top-flight title since 1990.
However, while Liverpool, who are now unbeaten in 41 league games and could go on to reach several top-flight milestones, Klopp played down their significance.
"I'm only happy about the three points," he said. "Tonight was a normal performance. I have no idea [if anyone will catch us]. The first target is to get the maximum points - there are still a lot of games.
"Yes we have 70 points, an incredible number, but so many things can happen. I'm not too much concerned about records.
"We had a record at [Borussia] Dortmund and Bayern [Munich] beat it the next season. We don't feel as though anything is done, I promise you. We take a deep breath and then Saturday it's Southampton."
While the result appears to have tightened Liverpool's hold on this season's title, it intensifies the pressure on the Hammers at the bottom.
David Moyes' side now sit 17th in the table, just above Bournemouth and Watford on goal difference.
Backed by vociferous crowd inside London Stadium, the hosts started in a determined fashion and limited Liverpool to few chances until Issa Diop's foul on Divock Origi allowed Salah to put the visitors ahead from a penalty and their first shot on target.
And while Manuel Lanzini's scuffed close-range shot and Robert Snodgrass' hurried effort represented good opportunities for the hosts, Oxlade-Chamberlain's goal ensured a comfortable conclusion to the evening for Klopp's side, who could have scored again when Salah hit the post from 18 yards.
"They're as good as there's been around," Moyes said. "It's very difficult when you've been manager of Everton and Manchester United to say that but Liverpool are an excellent side."
Moyes' miserable run continues
For just over 30 minutes at least, West Ham gave manager Moyes hope that he could improve on his miserable record against Liverpool.
While his side fulfilled its first brief, to largely stifle their seemingly unstoppable opponents by remaining compact and deep, they offered little beyond that and looked vulnerable whenever they attacked.
And they were eventually punished when Diop was caught slightly out of position to bring down Origi.
From that moment it seemed unlikely that 56-year-old Moyes would avoid a 17th top-flight defeat to the Reds - with the Scot having now won just three times in 28 attempts.
West Ham 0-2 Liverpool: We didn't take our chances - Moyes
Despite Moyes' generally concerned demeanour, there were bright spots for West Ham, who recently posted financial losses of £27.3m and stressed that retaining their Premier League status is "an absolute necessity".
Nineteen-year-old Jeremy Ngakia caught the eye on his debut for the club and showed that their is life beyond veteran full-back Pablo Zabaleta.
The academy product settled after displaying early nerves and played a superb pass for Lanzini to run on to during the first half as he grew into the occasion.
Efficient Liverpool win again
It is now almost impossible to ignore the huge gap at the top of the Premier League between Liverpool and their rivals that this victory only served to enhance.
But if you were, it would be the manner of this Liverpool victory that suggests they appear certainties to win the Premier League.
Like in recent victories against Tottenham, Manchester United and Wolves, Klopp's side were far from their best.
While they dominated possession they showed little end product until Salah's penalty but it was still good enough to deliver a 23rd victory from 24 matches - taking them to 70 points before January is out.
West Ham 0-2 Liverpool: The title is not yet won - Jurgen Klopp
Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez were barely troubled in defence while Jordan Henderson provided a controlling presence in midfield.
At times it appeared as though they were playing within themselves, until the moment arose for an incisive break forward, where their greater quality really showed.
Oxlade-Chamberlain's right-foot strike into the bottom left corner was the perfect demonstration, with Henderson initiating the move from a West Ham corner before Salah's superb outside of the boot pass bisected a couple of home defenders to send the England midfielder through on goal.
Klopp's side have now beaten every team in the Premier League this season at least once and were serenaded from the field by the club's jubilant and expectant fans at the final whistle.
Man of the match - Jordan Henderson (Liverpool)
Jordan Henderson set the tone for Liverpool, playing more passes (139) and having the best passing accuracy of any player (94%)
Klopp's milestone - the stats
Liverpool have gone 41 Premier League games without defeat (W36 D5) - the third longest such run in English top-flight history behind Arsenal (49 in Oct 2004) and Nottingham Forest (42 in Nov 1978).
Liverpool have won their last 15 Premier League games - only the fourth occasion of a team winning 15+ consecutive English top-flight games (Manchester City 18 in December 2017, Liverpool 17 in October 2019 and City 15 in August 2019).
Liverpool have won 70 points from just 24 games in the Premier League this season - the quickest any English top-flight side has ever reached this total.
Jurgen Klopp registered his 150th victory as Liverpool manager in all competitions (W150 D58 L39).
Against no side has West Ham manager David Moyes lost more Premier League games than versus Liverpool (17 - level with Arsenal).
West Ham have lost six of their last nine Premier League games at London Stadium (W1 D2).
Liverpool's Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has scored more Premier League goals versus West Ham United than against any other side (3).
Liverpool's Mohamed Salah has been directly involved in seven goals in five Premier League games against West Ham (5 goals, 2 assists).
What's next?
Liverpool welcome Southampton to Anfield in the Premier League on Saturday 1 February (15:00 GMT). West Ham host Brighton in their next Premier League game, also on Saturday (15:00).

2020 Australian Open Venue: Melbourne Park Dates: 20 January to 2 February Coverage: Listen on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra and online; Live text on selected matches on the BBC Sport website and app; Watch highlights on BBC Two and BBC iPlayer.
The key to the longevity of Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer is their willingness to constantly "listen, learn and improve every single day", says the Serb's coach Goran Ivanisevic.
Djokovic, 32, and Switzerland's Federer meet for the 50th time in Thursday's Australian Open semi-final.
Federer, 38, has not beaten Djokovic at a Grand Slam since 2012.
"Sometimes you think why the heck do you want to learn more? That's why they - and Rafael Nadal - are the best," Ivanisevic told BBC Radio 5 Live.
Defending champion Djokovic is going for a record-extending eighth title at Melbourne Park, while Federer is aiming to match his opponent's current tally with a seventh victory.
Djokovic, ranked second in the world, won their most recent meeting at a Grand Slam in an enthralling Wimbledon final last July, which concluded with that historic final-set tie-break.
World number three Federer, however, did beat him in straight sets at the ATP Finals in November.
The other interesting sub-plot to their Melbourne semi-final is the continuing race between the pair - and Spain's Nadal - to finish with the most Grand Slam titles.
Federer leads the way with 20 majors, one ahead of current French Open and US Open champion Nadal and four clear of Djokovic, who won the Australian Open and Wimbledon last year.
"These guys are pushing each other," added Croatian Ivanisevic, who won Wimbledon in 2001.
"They still want to improve every day - that's the difference between the three of them and the young guys.
"They are not afraid to ask, listen and learn."
What they say about each other
Djokovic on Federer: "He is one of the all-time greats and the match-ups against Roger and Rafa have made me the player I am today.
"You know he's always going to play at such a high level, regardless of the surface."
Federer on Djokovic: "Novak also has gone on all these runs like I did for 10 years. He did the same for the last 10 years.
"I think conditions suit us well here. Start the year strong. Probably something to do with court speed, feeling comfortable down here.
"It helps when you start the year off with a bang like he did at the ATP Cup."
Why Djokovic loves Melbourne Park
Djokovic claimed sole ownership of the record for the most Australian Open men's titles, moving clear of Federer and Australian great Roy Emerson, when he swept aside Nadal in the final 12 months ago.
On a court where he has produced some of the finest performances of his career, he has continued to show this year why he is widely considered as the man to beat.
Djokovic has not dropped a set since his opening match against big-hitting German Jan-Lennard Struff, losing serve just once in the past four rounds.
Will Federer be fully fit?
With Federer well into the twilight of his career, he has to carefully manage his workload to preserve his body for the things that matter most: the Grand Slams.
And that appears to have worked in his favour at Melbourne Park, having come through some long matches.
He has also been helped by a favourable draw as all five of his matches have been against unseeded players.
However, they did not all prove straightforward.
Only a fightback from 8-4 down in the 10-point deciding-set tie-break against Australian John Millman stopped him falling in the third round.
In the next round he was pushed by Hungary's Marton Fucsovics before winning in four.
Then, he saved seven match points - and overcame a groin problem - to beat American Tennys Sandgren.
After the match Federer played down concerns he would not be fit enough to face Djokovic.
"I don't know if you can call it an injury. It's just pain and problems. I need to figure it out," he said on Tuesday.
"You have an extra day, adrenaline, there are a lot of things [to help]. Two good nights of sleep, doctors, physios.
"Hopefully we'll find out that it's actually nothing bad."
The race to be the 'GOAT'
Djokovic's victory over Federer in the Wimbledon final took him closer than ever to the Swiss' Grand Slam tally.
Now the Serb, who has won six of the past nine tournaments in Melbourne, is aiming to further reduce the gap.
Almost six years younger than Federer, Djokovic will have the chance to add several more - barring a dramatic loss of form or injury problems.
His pursuit of Federer and Nadal is made more remarkable by the fact he won his first major in 2008 - when Federer had claimed 13 and Nadal five - and only added a second three years later.
On Thursday, he has the opportunity to take a huge step towards reducing the gap to three - it just so happens the man standing in his way is the man he is ultimately chasing.
