stadium and speak to our sports news correspondent, richard conway. evening, richard. so welcome to football's future, the var so welcome to football's future, the va r syste m. so welcome to football's future, the var system. supposed to stop all those contentious debates, but it started one this evening here. was it wasn't it used? we can't work out! olly, i have spoken to the match test in west london where it was used, and they told me that the referee andre marriner did consult with his assistant there, to discuss that late winning goal, was at a handball, was it not? in the end of the goal stood and brighton will go through to the fourth round of the fa cup. here is the story of the night trot—mac fa cup. here is the story of the night trot-mac and old rivalry with a new twist. video assistant referees on hand for anything u ntowa rd, referees on hand for anything untoward, and early on andros townsend thought it might come in use. townsend thought it might come in use. no need tojust townsend thought it might come in use. no need to just yet. townsend thought it might come in use. no need tojust yet. it townsend thought it might come in use. no need to just yet. it got a little bit of a work—outjust after, dale stephens giving bright in the lead, andre marriner making sure there were no problems for him. roy hodgson's aid came from bakary sako, the palace striker catching everyone out to draw the sides level. it was as threatening as the visitors got. brighton swarmed forward and chances came raining in. with little success. . . came raining in. with little success... untilfinally came raining in. with little success... until finally the matchwinner, glenn murray, once of palace, sending his old team out of the cup. but have the final touch bean from his arm? the referee both on the pitch and off were convinced it hadn't. the players not too happy, but the decision the correct one. a new dawn for english football, but a final scene. bbc news. whatever this cup run, wherever it will take us, our priority of course is making sure we stay in this division. what tonight will do is give the club a lift. for those who have not played many minutes it has given them valuable minutes. and there are not many that haven't played at all, you know, in this premier league, but that will give them an even bigger left, to the others. from where we were standing and watching it looked for all the world that he had handball it and the players close by thought so as well, but to be fair i think when you see an lots of times, there is a very good case for the var and the referee to make, he didn't handball it, and it was very close. i have no complaints, and if it turns out the var in this instance has helped the referee come to the right decision, thenit referee come to the right decision, then it has been a successful evening for them. sort of philosophical roy hodgson speaking about the benefits of var, perhaps, even though on this occasion the goal stood. this, olly, will be a system that needs time to bed in. a final decision on whether it will be authorised for worldwide use is coming ina authorised for worldwide use is coming in a few weeks but the fozz so coming in a few weeks but the fozz so farare coming in a few weeks but the fozz so far are certainly from football's lawmakers, they feel it is good and it is expected to be used more widely, as of next season, so fans will have to get used to it, the players and managers as well, but that communication on seeing what happened on the pitch between the referee and his assistant, tonight i am told there was a discussion between them and they did judge that ball and off glenn murray's knee and the goal was valid. but to be aware of that, that is perhaps what needs to be done going forward. there will be lessons learned from tonight. the trial continues and that decision over its wider use, it is coming soon. richard conway, our >> sportscaster: down at the annex

very well. he was not sure i would go but having been duly maqsood down after his plight, after realising he would not be fit to compete either in australia or the brisbane open, he is certainly more

the inquest has started into england's dismal ashes showing. australia sealing a comprehensive 4—0 series win this morning. they bowled england out forjust 180 to win the final test by an innings and 123 runs in sydney. it's been widely claimed that the absence of genuinely fast bowlers in england's ranks cost them in australian conditions. where the next generation of quicks coming from? here's our sports correspondentjoe wilson. scratched in sydney, but at least the morning torture of hearing the ashes squad is now over. england 180 01’ ashes squad is now over. england 180 or out in theirfinal ashes squad is now over. england 180 or out in their final innings. nothing left except the hows and whys. we know we have to improve in a lot of areas and i'm sure the management will be thinking the same. there are an improvements eve ryo ne same. there are an improvements everyone can make. we are all there to improve, particularly after a loss. what next? the big thing for english cricket is to prepare players for a very different hemisphere. never mind a0 degrees, it is about four here in loughborough. the future mightjust be behind me. this is england's pace programme, with youngsters in winter training. england don't have fast bowlers, do they? we are hurting and we will review ourselves, here. i am already doing that with the fast bowling programme anyway, but i am absolutely convinced that what we are doing right, and people may say, where are they then? we have got them. will they get in the team? james anderson and stuart broad have led england's bowling for a decade. they can't go on indefinitely. this was the leading county cricket wicket taker last summer. he is skilful more than quick, and that is not enough, some would say. some of the stuff said frustrates me because i know i agree with it, but itjust motivates me more to go on show them that, you know, i'm ready for my chance and when i get it i want to prove to people that, you know, there is some talent around and there is some talent around and there is some talent around and there is room for eight bowler—mac like me in international cricket. english summers can chill cricketers as the grind rewards stamina, not speed, but if these images. add a few images an hour of motivation, nothing will. that is it from this sportsday. coming up now on bbc news, the papers. —— hello, and welcome to our deadly what papers will be bringing us tomorrow. jenni russell of the times and martin lipton, deputy head of sport at the sun. let's look at the front pages. most on the reshuffle, including the metro. saying that some cabinet members refused to be budged. a different take on the financial times, focusing on the new minister david lidington being europe friendly. the financial times —— daily telegraph also carries that but also the story of a couple from derby who planned a christmas bombing campaign. the daily mail, splashing with its own poll saying there is overwhelming public support for diverging the foreign aid budget to the nhs to help ease winter pressures . to the nhs to help ease winter pressures. slightly out of sync there, but let's return to the reshuffle there, but let's return to the res huffle o n there, but let's return to the reshuffle on the front of the mail. upon on the daddy of political sitcoms. the headline, "no, prime minister." and the times seeing the prime minister needed to redeem herself of changes at lower ministerial levels. described by one wag as the night of the long plastic kitchen knives, quite funny, and i have said it three times tonight. but anyway, the daily mail, the prime minister on a day of reshuffling chaos. theresa may forced to sack the education secretary after she refuses to move. as the day gone as theresa may had hoped? it would be hard to make that case, wouldn't it. i know the sun's tanvir this will be on the shuffle —— will be omni—shuffle. —— the sun's title on this. it is remarkable, and although she is in charge of the government, she hasn't said, do what i say, i have a plan. she has that they're mostly saying, 0k she has that they're mostly saying, ok then, do what you like. that is because, martin, that authority number ten had also been briefing, that had come back perhaps in full force, after the brexit deal, moving on to phase two, brexit backbenchers quiet now, feeling things would be improving from now on, that authority still isn't there, is it? this was supposed to be this renewed sense of command and you end up going back to the 19s in office but not in power, with no understanding. when you have chaos —— going back to the mid—905. these titles, and these are the support of newspapers! six months after winning an election it is bad enough that you have to reshuffle a team that is your programme for government, but if you then can't
