:01:03. > :01:06.Do you think I'd order triumph for myself?
:01:07. > :01:12.Yes, and you took me at my word, didn't you?

:06:57. > :06:59.But Theresa May will also be keen to try to tame Turkey somewhat. This is
:07:00. > :07:03.a country that has moved rather away from Europe in recent years, more
:07:04. > :07:07.towards Russia. She will have been keen to raise human rights issues,

:08:09. > :08:14.which follow this bulletin at 1.15, please look away, close your ears,
:08:15. > :08:21.leave the room. Right, Serena Williams has broken
:08:22. > :08:24.the record for Grand Slam victories in the modern era after winning
:08:25. > :08:28.the Australian Open It was the first final
:08:29. > :08:44.between her and her sister Venus and Serena Williams, bringing
:08:45. > :08:48.true meaning to the term sibling rivalry for 20 years. This was a
:08:49. > :08:54.throwback final between two women who know each other inside out. That
:08:55. > :08:57.was clearly the case in the first set, with five breaks of serve. And
:08:58. > :09:00.while Venus, in her first Grand Slam final for eight years, was always
:09:01. > :09:05.chasing her little sister, she gave as good as she got. Her problem was
:09:06. > :09:08.that Serena, despite the odd mishap, found that bit extra when it
:09:09. > :09:15.mattered most. The fifth of those five breaks going her way, once
:09:16. > :09:18.overhead, and the second was equally close, venous edging ahead on serve
:09:19. > :09:23.this time, only for Serena to match her with some brawn and brilliance,
:09:24. > :09:27.both of those evident for the crucial break. What a window that
:09:28. > :09:32.was. It allowed Serena to serve for the match, which she achieved. And
:09:33. > :09:38.with it, and open era record, 23 grand slams now, surpassing Steffi
:09:39. > :09:43.Graf, a seventh Australian title, the world number one spot and all
:09:44. > :09:50.against her sister. Sibling rivalry? Most definitely. Sibling love, even
:09:51. > :09:58.more so. Tim Hague, BBC News. It's a great number. I know she would like
:09:59. > :10:04.to have a little more. It was a great moment. I am very happy that
:10:05. > :10:08.she has been able to get to number 23, because there are 22 ahead of
:10:09. > :10:09.that that she also earned, and she earned it.
:10:10. > :10:11.The day's FA Cup action is under way.
:10:12. > :10:20.Liverpool are taking on Wolves in the fourth
:10:21. > :10:26.It was an incredible start for the Championship side,
:10:27. > :10:27.Richard Stearman scoring after just 51 seconds.
:10:28. > :10:29.And it was very nearly 2-0 not long afterwards,
:10:30. > :10:34.Liverpool have won only one of seven matches so far in 2017.
:10:35. > :10:35.Wolves have already knocked out Premier League
:10:36. > :10:38.The biggest giant killers from the last round,
:10:39. > :10:41.non-league Lincoln City, are hoping home advantage will help
:10:42. > :10:43.them cause another big upset this afternoon.
:10:44. > :10:49.Their manager Danny Cowley says beating Ipswich
:10:50. > :10:51.off the Championship in round three was like climbing
:10:52. > :10:53.a mountain, and so thinks today's match against the leaders
:10:54. > :10:56.of the Championship, Brighton, is like trying to get to the moon.
:10:57. > :10:59.Rangers can go back to second in the Scottish Premiership this
:11:00. > :11:01.afternoon - a win at Motherwell will take them above Aberdeen again
:11:02. > :11:04.- but they're down to 10 men after Michael O'Halloran was sent
:11:05. > :11:21.But now there has been a red card for Motherwell as well.
:11:22. > :11:24.Whatever happens in this game, leaders Celtic won't be troubled -
:11:25. > :11:38.That is the second sending-off. A feisty match so far.
:11:39. > :11:40.Tiger Woods told reporters he was "rusty" after missing
:11:41. > :11:42.the cut in his first competitive tournament for 18 months.
:11:43. > :11:45.He managed a par round, but he was always in peril
:11:46. > :11:49.He said he needed to get more rounds under his belt -
:11:50. > :11:52.England's Olympic champion Justin Rose still leads -
:11:53. > :12:00.he's a shot clear of the field on eight-under-par.
:12:01. > :12:06.And I can tell you that upset at Anfield could well and truly be on
:12:07. > :12:09.now, because it is Liverpool zero, Wolves two. That is the sport.
:12:10. > :12:13.You can see more on all of today's stories on the BBC News Channel.
:12:14. > :12:31.We are seeing quite a change in our weather patterns. It has been a
:12:32. > :12:35.week, of course, where the UK has been stuck in the deep freeze. We
:12:36. > :12:37.have had some sharp frosts and disruptive for, but the weather is
