england clung on for a tense draw on the final day of the fourth test in sydney to end australia's hopes of an ashes 5—0 whitewash. needing to bat out the final day, england didn't make it easy — they rarely do — but with just one wicket in hand they got themselves over the line as patrick gearey reports. the relentless march of the australians — on day five, they hunt. ten wickets to get. all too often, haseeb hameed goes first. that's got him. yet there was a strange calm about sydney, and about zak crawley. under pressure for his place, but batting for a bubble, untroubled. he made 77 before it popped. that's out. three down, but look up. it was getting darker. the rain took seven overs out of the match. having been helped by the clouds, england needed their stars. the injured ben stokes batting in such pain that every run stung — and joe root, their captain, but half an hourfrom tea... 0h, he's got an edge on that. that was big. root knew it, england had to forget it. after all, they were soon in the final session, with stokes still there, wounded side, willing heart. butjust at the wrong moment he was betrayed by a touch. oh, there he goes. a different kind of hurt, because now the door was open and pat cummins was charging through it. mark wood fell just afterjos buttler. down to the sharp end. 13 balls left, two wickets left... 0h, he's got him. jack leach became one of them. australia sensed blood. england, perhaps, deja vu. last ball to jimmy anderson to decide the test. he's done it, he survived it. and breeze. this is a draw, not a victory, but england waved no white flag, so there will be no whitewash. patrick gearey, bbc news. no, they won't, and there will be a fifth and final ashes test, but that starts on friday. next to football. it upset. newcastle were beaten by league 1 cambridge. kieran trippier made his first appearance for the premier league side but it wasn't enough to save the match as his new team were humbled in a 1—0 defeat, joe ironside providing the goal to send cambridge into the fourth round. and their travelling fans wild in the stands we always knew, going to the game, we have nothing to lose. we only can win, and just we needed to come here and be the best version of ourselves, and that's what we did today, you know, we scored, we kept a clean sheet, which is really important. coming here, not many teams can do that. we always had that belief, and i'm really happy, look at how many supporters have come here to support us. we sold out. it's incredible. what a way to start the year. and the shocks continued as kidderminster, the lowest ranked team left in the cup, pulled off a stunning comeback to beat championship side reading 2—1. the national league side had to fight through an incredible 12 minutes of injury time and you can see how much the victory means to them. there was more non—league success as boreham wood beat league one's afc wimbledon 2—0. tyrone marsh was on the scoresheet as the national league side qualify for the fourth round for the first time in their history. so who would they like to face next? i don't really care, i have to be honest with you. wealdstone comes to town on tuesday. i know it sounds really, really cliched, but as a manager you can't switch off. as much as i want to enjoy the planning and the organisational side of things, we have a mid—week against wealdstone. it's our bread—and—butter. we need to make sure we put a performance on. obviously i will have one eye on the draw. there are nine more third round games today including liverpool v shrewsbury which kicks off at 2 o clock at anfield jurgen klopp hopes to be back in the dugout for the match after having covid. liverpool's squad has been badly hit by coronavirus and were forced to shutdown first—team training earlier this week. in rugby union, there was a thrilling end in the match between harlequins and exeter in the premiership. 1a—man exeter were winning right up until the final 2 minutes. andre esterhuizen�*s try leveling things up just leaving the ice—cool marcus smith to kick the conversion and hand his side the win by 1a points to 12. elsewhere there were wins for gloucester and northampton. edinburgh put five tries past cardiff to go top of the united rugby championship. it finished 34—10 in the scottish capital — ramiro moyano with the pick of the scores after a flowing move. elsewhere there were wins for glasgow warriors and munster. and in the women's premier 155, gloucester—hartpury increased the pressure on the top four with a bonus point win over leaders bristol. ellie underwood crashed over with her second try of the match to seal a 36—14 victory. gloucester are now up to fifth in the table. elsewhere second place exeter beat sale sharks. that's all the sport for now. now it's time for the papers. here is katy balls from the conservative—supporting let's get into some of the stories on the front pages then here is katy balls from the conservative—supporting weekly political magazine, the spectator and james rampton, feature writer at the i newspaper. the observer leads with comments from the former chairman of the uk's vaccine task force, who says we must end mass vaccinations for covid and treat the virus like we do flu. the sunday times also looks at a post—pandemic britain, reporting that free lateral flow tests will come to an end as the country is told to live with covid. but the government say that won't be happening in the short term. according to the sunday telegraph liz truss, the new brexit negotiator, is insisting that the uk will overhaul the post—brexit agreement over northern ireland if she cannot reach a solution with the eu. another cabinet minister writes in the sunday express — also pictures of the duchess of cambridge looking gorgeous in a red dress. another cabinet minister writes in the sunday express — this time the home secretary priti patel, warning the house of lords not to water down new police powers in tackling knife crime. and finally the sunday mirror claims it's crisis time on albert square as danny dyer quits eastenders. so, let's start with the observer, then. james comedy want to take us through the front page splash? yes. through the front page splash? yes, hello. the observer _ suggesting that we should treat covid as an endemic rather than a pandemic, saying we should now endless jabs. this is quoting experts who feel we have to come to terms with the new normal. that we cannot live with constant max fascination programmes, and perhaps thatis fascination programmes, and perhaps that is an interesting idea psychologically if we learn to live with it, will you be so terrified as i fixed with it, will you be so terrified as ifixed myself, often we with it, will you be so terrified as i fixed myself, often we are cowed by this presence of this ghastly monster lurking outside the door, and stay cowering inside our houses. if we are told to tell ourselves this is something we have to learn to live with, perhaps we will have more bravery to go outside. my concern is, though, these are suggestions coming where we are sadly passed the milestone of the hundred and 50,000 are from covid, and is it really appropriate on that day to be talking about how to exit this crisis? if i was sadly one of the family members of someone who died i might be quite to be offended by that. also we have the schools in the uni is coming back this week. there is bound to be another spike with the omicron variant then, so i think this might be a bit premature, but long—term it might help us to see we have to live with rather than be terrified by it.— be terrified by it. what do you think? i be terrified by it. what do you think? | think _ be terrified by

resignation of another person, i will use article 16 if the eu won't bend. i would like you to unpick what article 16 is, how it is relevant to the northern ireland protocol and how the law of the

court to have jurisdiction over northern ireland, there are also issues a return to the hard border between the republic and northern ireland which of course could cause huge damage to the stability and peace in that country. liz truss is, let's be honest, someone is making a bid for tory party leadership. that's to be mike borisjohnson has had a wretched couple of months, so that is underlying this story. her story is that she might invoke article 16 collapse negotiations with the eu plays very well with tory backbenchers. i sometimes think the tories are prolonging the war with the eu because it plays so well with the eu because it plays so well with the hardline supporters. you think what will be the point of it if brexiters ever resolve? this is one issue where a liz truss, a former romania, i should add, no she will have traction. she knows she will get full support from tory backbenchers, and that may be says he's cynically be one reason why she is sabre rattling so loudly. she has a meeting with the eu negotiator on thursday, in advance of that meeting, she says she may once have been a remainer, shh but she is making course that will cause cheers on the

things have come so for borisjohnson, but this interview is a reminder, i think, of the difficulties boris johnson faces from his own side. it's notjust about covid restrictions. david frost is citing various parts of the agenda, advisors that borisjohnson has around him and policies, suggesting that the prime minister who is a long—term ally has ultimately lost his way and needs to return to more

that some tories have been delighted by the verdict because it enables them to perpetuate this continual culture war against the woke prograde, as they would call it. that plays very well with tory supporters. the sense that what people want to steal every part of our history, as they would view it, and turn it into some idea of whiteness, and speaking very much as an imagined tory here, this supposed common—sense group of tourism dog this perverse. well, what's the point of having an independentjudiciary all additions independent judiciary all additions and interfere? independentjudiciary all additions and interfere? suella braverman, the attorney general, has even indicated they will take this to the court of appeal. to me that seems like an egregious example of political interference in what is supposed to be an independentjudiciary. i'm not going to say the next step is to radical dictatorship, but the point of having, in english law, a separate independentjudiciary, which we had for hundreds years since magna carta, is that the judges make the decisions, not the politicians, and my alarm about this is the politicians are trying to interfere with the judicial decision, not going through parliament, trying to tinker with the decision that's been made, and i would say that is quite alarming. yeah. i've recently donejury service, and i've never done it before, and notwithstanding the delays and jurors not turning up and lost documents, i was so impressed with what i perceive to be the finest of the system of having, you know, 11 people who didn't know each other, normal men and women, turning up other, normal men and women, turning up and listen to the evidence and deciding on the basis of the evidence was presented before them. it was such an insight, i thought. katy, do you think it is un—conservative to potentially interfere with the criminaljustice system in this way? i interfere with the criminal 'ustice system in this way?* system in this way?

this morning. that's it for the paper this morning — headlines coming up at the top of the hour. goodbye for now. hello. compared to yesterday, it's been a much drier and brighter day so far for most of you. bit of a chilly start, admittedly, but lots of sunshine across southern and eastern areas at present. there are a few showers, though, particularly in the west. they've become more widespread across parts of southern scotland and northern ireland, and through the afternoon they will push into northern england, increasing the cloud here. showers are mainly of rain, but a little bit of hail, sleet or a little snow in some spots. the north of it will see sunshine continue in northern scotland. southern scotland should brighten up a little bit. much of wales, the midlands, east anglia and the south—east dry with sunny spells, any showers very few and far between, but the channel islands down towards the far south—west of england, devon, cornwall and south—west wales, will see cloud increase. milder air trying to push in, but with it some rain or drizzle, and that will continue through this evening and overnight, pushing into western areas. showers in northern england push through the east midlands, east anglia and fade. cold middle part of the night across parts of eastern uk, maybe —6 in eastern scotland for a time, and there is still a little bit of frost for one or two into the morning, but a chilly temperatures rise through the second half of the night, and by the start of tomorrow, 8—10 degrees in the west, that's because you will be in this little slice of milder air sandwiched between these two weather fronts. the first one just bringing increased amounts of cloud, patchy drizzle, the second one bringing some heavier bursts of rain in northern scotland and strengthening winds. that will touch gale force later in the day. hazy sunshine, though, will continue through monday across some eastern areas, but you can just see how the cloud thickens up. there's some light rain or drizzle on it pushing its way eastwards, lying somewhere from yorkshire through the midlands towards the isle of wight during the afternoon. west of that we will see extensive mist, low cloud around some of the coast, but 12 or 13 degrees. before that where the front arrives, 8 or 9 in the east. that weather front then pushes away southwards as we go through into tuesday. milder start in the south, the cloud, occasional rain or drizzle, particularly to the south—east during the day. much brighter conditions further north, with sunny spells. a few showers continue in scotland, strong to gale force winds, as well. temperatures drop relative to monday, but there's still a degree or two above what we would normally expect in this stage of the year, and they will climb a little bit further for some as we go through this coming week. through wednesday in the second half of the week, high pressure builds in across the south. closer to that area of high pressure, so, southern parts of england and wales, this is where we could see some overnight frost, fog. that could linger through the day, so, for one or two temperatures, mid—single figures at best during the second half of the week. further north, with more breeze, some breaks in the cloud, up to around 10 or 11 celsius. this is bbc news broadcasting in the uk and around the globe. i'm victoria
