time in france. hello there and welcome along to the programme. and we start with drama from the africa cup of nations where the holders senegal have been sent packing by the hosts ivory coast, who won after the match went all the way to penalties. senegal, who'd won all their matches so far, and looked imperious in the groups, took the lead thanks to habib diallo�*s early strike. it looked as though their winning streak would go on, until a frank kessie penalty levelled matters with less than five minutes to go. nothing to separate the teams after extra time —

so penalties settled it. moussa niakhate�*s missed spot kick proved the difference as ivory coast, to the delight of the home fans, reached the quarterfinals by the finest of margins. cape verde are into the quarter finals for just the second time but they had to score a late penalty against mauritania to seal their place in the last eight. benchimol was brought down by goalkeeper babacar niasse. ryan mendes made no mistake from the spot for a 1—0 win. morocco or south africa await on saturday. and that match, between the world cup semi—finalists, morocco and south africa, taking place on tuesday. it's the final match in the round of 16. before that, mali face burkina faso. the winner of that tie takes on host nation ivory coast. the holders and hosts of the asian cup qatar are through to the quarterfinals of the competition after coming from behind to beat palestine. oday dabbagh scored a wonderful solo goal to give palestine the lead. they'd already made history by advancing from the group stage for the first time. but qatari captain hassan al haydos equalised from a well—worked corner, just before half time. akram afif�*s second half penalty gave qatar the lead and the hosts saw out the victory from there to make

the last eight. jordan were heading out of the competition losing to io—man iraq deep into injury time. but from 2—1 downjordan scored twice to win 3—2. yazan al—arab equalised in the 95th minute. jordan then kept attacking and got their reward. nizar al—rashdan scored two minutes later with a fantastic long—range strike. they meet debutants tajikistan next in the quarters. there were chaotic scenes in the post—match press conference as iraqi journalists vented their anger towards head coach jesus casas. several stormed out in protest as officials tried to calm the situation. iraq's football association has condemned what it calls the abhorrent behaviour of journalists. thailand can reach the asian cup quarter—finals for the first time with a victory over uzbekistan on tuesday. uzbekistan though have qualified for the knockout

stage of this tournament for a sixth successive occasion. another big match in the knockouts follows — roberto mancini's saudi arabia against south korea managed byjurgen klinsmann. the arsenal manager mikel arteta says reports about him leaving the club at the end of the season are totally untrue. the spanish newspaper sport had linked arteta with the barcelona job, which will become vacant in the summer — but arteta says he's very happy at arsenal. that's totally fake news, what you read yesterday. i don't know where it's coming from. it's totally untrue. i'm really upset about it. i could not believe — i don't know where it's coming from. it has no sources, got nothing. and i think we have to be very cautious when you talk about personal things, to put it in the way it was put yesterday. liverpool captain virgil van dijk says he's unsure if he'll be part of the post—jurgen klopp era at the club. klopp announced on friday that he was leaving at the end of the season and van dijk�*s

contract runs out next summer. the dutch centre back was signed by klopp from southampton for £75 million six years ago. she was one of the faces of the winter olympics in beijing. russian figure skater kamila valieva was just 15 years old when she failed a doping test in 2022. a russian anti—doping agency investigation found the teenager bore no fault or negligence but today, the court of arbitration for sport has given valieva a four—year ban. our sports news correspondent laura scott has the story. 15—year—old kamila valieva began the beijing games as a figure skating prodigy, lauded as the first woman to land a quadruplejump, helping russia win team gold in the process. just before the medals were due to be handed out, it emerged she failed a drugs test. she skated on, but crumbled under the weight of the scandal. the court of arbitration for sport banned her for two years. they ruled her results since december 2021 should be disqualified. while result was welcomed there

remain unanswered questions. how does a young girl at that age get a hold of this controlled drug? you have to look at the russia system and here we go again, unfortunately, with them trying to hijack the games and at the expense of a young woman. six months from the paris olympics, suspicion surrounding russia will only grow. we're very concerned and remain very vigilant about what is going on in russia. we still haven't brought back the russian anti—doping agency as compliant. what is more of a concern to me is the fact the first decision granted by a panel in russia was so wrong. that is what cas has proven today. it doesn't give a good message about how they're treating the problem.

it's done yet more damage to confidence in clean sport, especially in russia. but it's been all the more troubling for the young woman at its heart. and after losing the first test to england there's more bad news for india. all—rounder ravindra jadeja and batter kl rahul are out of the second test that starts on friday. jadeja has a hamstring injury and rahul a quad problem. the hosts are already missing virat kohli, who withdrew from the first two tests for personal reasons, plus rishabh pant and mohammed shami who are both injured. india have called up sarfaraz khan, sourabh kumar and washington sundar to the squad. ben stokes and england's cricketers have been inspiring not only cricket fans around the world but fellow sportsmen as well. rugby union's six nations gets under way this weekend and saracens hooker jamie george will captain england for the first time. he told our rugby union correspondent chris jones from their training base in spain how he's taken note

of the cricket team's philosophy under stokes and brendan mccullum. i'm not saying we're going all out in attack, but ben stokes talks a lot about expressing themselves, the fact they're entertainers, something at the forefront of our mind, especially at the minute, is how we can put smiles on people's faces, how we can bring twickenham back to being that fortress we want it to be. and you know, that's definitely part of the conversation that we're having at the minute. it's something i feel very comfortable in doing. and in terms of style, like, i'm a people person. i care about relationships, i care about people loving their time and playing for england. i've been through, been on a bit of a roller—coaster ride for me, especially, like, some of the best times in my life have been playing for england, but i've had some difficult times playing for england also. being in this environment

and playing for england should be the best time of your life, should be the best time of your career. i'm very passionate about making sure people are in a position to do that. ireland will kick off the six nations on friday night when the reigning champions take on france. it's an eagerly awaited opener with the tournament's top two ranked sides going head to head in marseille. but this year, the irish will be withoutjonny sexton — their captain retired after the world cup. peter o'mahony has taken his place and the players say they'll support him all the way. it's obviously going to be tough to replacejohnny, but i think we've picked peter as captain, he's led the group unbelievably well, not only just now, but over the last five or six seasons he's been an incredible leader in this team. so i think we've a great leader there in our captain and he's driving it on from his end. i think there's an onus on a lot of players to i suppose step up and to be vocal and lead by example. and it's a great challenge for this group, coming

into a fresh six nations, and to build that leadership. andy murray has been knocked out of the atp event in montpellier after losing in three sets to benoit paire. despite winning the opening set, murray went on to lose the second on a tie—break as the frenchman started to take control of the match. he went on to win it 6—3 in the decider. murray said earlier this month that retirement may not be far away after losing in the opening round of the australian open. it was a better day for katie boulter, who knocked out 6th seed jasmine paolini at the linz open in austria. she'll play russian world number 42 anastasia pavlyuchenkova in the last 16. you can get all the latest sports news at from the bbc sport app,

orfrom our website — that's bbc.com/sport. from me and the rest of the team at the bbc sport centre, goodbye. hello there. temperatures will continue to fluctuate through the rest of this week. on sunday, of course, we saw temperatures in highland scotland of 20 celsius. and after a frost, typical temperatures monday afternoon were 6 celsius. highest temperatures this time were across southern parts of the uk. cloud breaking up here and there to give some sunshine and 1a degrees in cambridgeshire. in between, we had thicker cloud on these weather fronts, an area of low pressure,

bringing some wet weather, that's moving away into the north sea. so it is turning drier. keeping more cloud, though, for england and wales. that'll keep the temperatures up. clearer skies for scotland and northern ireland. it could be a frosty start early in the morning, but the promise of more sunshine for scotland and northern ireland. a cloudy start for england and wales. still a bit dampness in the east, but we'll see some sunshine developing more widely as the cloud retreats back towards east anglia and the southeast. here, temperatures could make double figures, but i think 7—8 degrees is going to be nearer the mark. it could be the odd shower coming into northwest scotland, especially as the breeze picks up later in the day. and if we look to the north, by wednesday, this deep low is pushing between iceland and scotland, really strengthening the winds overnight. very windy for scotland, widespread gales, gusts of 80mph for a while in the far north. and this squally band of rain sweeps into scotland and northern ireland, picking the winds up here, gusty winds and some rain in the far north of england. further south across england and wales, the winds much lighter. and after a chilly, bright

start, the cloud will increase and we'll see top temperatures of 10 or 11 degrees. that weather front bringing that rain move southwards but weakens, so little or no rain coming into southern parts of the uk. and then another weather front following in from the atlantic, eventually towards the northwest. but a dry, bright start with some sunshine for many, a little bit chilly on thursday. we will see the cloud increasing in northern ireland and particularly scotland with some rain arriving in the northwest, but still some sunshine for england and wales, although their temperatures will be a little bit lower on thursday, around 9 degrees celsius. but those temperatures rise again for the end of the week. this strengthening southwesterly wind will bring with it some higher temperatures on friday. but because the winds are coming a long way over the atlantic, it will come with a lot of cloud, a little light rain or drizzle, mainly across western parts of scotland. but those temperatures by the end of the week on the mild side, again, widely 13 or 1a celsius.

live from washington, this is bbc news. the democratic unionist party in northern ireland endorses a deal to restore the devolved northern ireland government if the british government passes new legislation. there are new details on a deadly attack on american forces at a base near thejordan—syria border from what washington is calling iran—backed militants. and french farmers escalate their protests against new agriculture regulations, blockading key roads around paris.

hello, i'm caitriona perry. you're very welcome. the leader of northern ireland's democratic unionist party says his party is prepared to return to powersharing in northern ireland if the uk government delivers on a new proposal, which would include passing new legislation. the dup collapsed the power—sharing government nearly two years ago in protest against post—brexit trade arrangements. sirjeffrey donaldson says that the measures proposed by the government in london will secure a positive future for northern ireland within the uk. the package of measures in totality does provide a basis for our party to nominate members to the northern ireland executive, thus seeing the restoration of the locally elected institutions. we recognise that significant further advances have been achieved through these negotiations and the details of the new package of measures will be published by the uk government in due course.
