an upset at cath connor, south africa stunned the pretournament favourites to make the koorda finals. and the switch made to live golf, working up withjohn on the saudi backed tour this week. welcome along to sports day with plenty of football to bring you from across the world. we'll start in the premier league, where arsenal moved back up to second in the table and are nowjust two points off the top, after beating nottingham forest. it was a relatively quiet first half at the city ground, arsenal dominating possession and chances — and they made it count after the break. gabrieljesus and then bukayo saka putting them two up and out of sight. a late forest goal provided some fightback, but not to be for them, as the gunners closed out the 2—1win, to keep the pressure on the league leaders, liverpool. it is a really difficult place

to come and they have shown that against top teams. we suffered it last year and this year we wanted to put it right. i think we were really dominant, really intelligent to play the game that we had to be, we were patient where we had to be, we were really vertical attacking when we had spaces to do so, and yeah, the shame is that at the end we didn't defend that situation well enough and in the end in this league, you have to suffer the last few minutes. a superb win for newcastle united, in the late game, over aston villa. they won 3—1 at villa park to go seventh. villa missing the chance to keep pace at the top. defender fabian schar with two goals to put newcastle in the ascendancy, before an own goal put them three up. ollie watkins pulled one back for villa, and thought he had another which was ruled out for offside. the victory for newcastle ends a run of four straight league defeats. a big result for us today. we knew all eyes were on us, really. we've been on a disappointing run in the premier league, especially away from home, so we knew we needed to respond and this is probably

the hardest place in the premier league to come, due to villa's really strong home form but a great win for us. perhaps the result of the evening goes to luton town who climbed out of the relegation zone, thanks to their 4—0 thrashing of brighton. striker elijah adebayo with a hat—trick for them. it was luton�*s biggest top flight win since january 1989. and a cracker in one of the other games — not everton v fulham, which finished goalless. crystal palace came from behind to beat sheffield united, to take some of the heat off manager roy hodgson. eberechi eze with two of their goals in a 3—2 win and michael olise with one, and a man of the match performance on his comeback. another day of drama in ivory coast, at the africa cup of nations. one of the big favourites, morocco, who made the semi—finals of the world cup in 2022, were knocked out by south africa. the moroccans missed a penalty late on — agony for them — but it's south africa who join mali in completing the quarter—final line up. our reporter celestine karoney was at the match in san pedro.

south africa has delivered the latest upset of the tournament with a 2—0 win over ten—man morocco to reach the quarter—finals at a nations cup since the first time since 2019. the goals gave bafana bafana the win, silencing a partisan crowd of over 19,000 at the stadium in san pedro. akimi missed a penalty in the 85th minute for morocco before sofjan amrabat was sent off in injury time, wrapping up a disappointing outing for a team that is ranked as africa's best, and was a pretournament favourite. morocco came into the tournament hoping to build on an impressive world cup outing, where they became the first african side to reach the semifinals at the fifa world cup. south africa will now play cape verde in the quarterfinals. 0n the other match in the final day of the round of 16, mali beat burkina faso 2—1 and will now play the host ivory coast in the last eight.

so let's take a look at the quarterfinal ties. starting on friday — with nigeria up against angola, followed by democratic republic of congo v guinea. on saturday, hosts ivory coast — who knocked out defending champions senegal — will play mali. cape verde against south africa completes the round. south korea are into the quarter—finals of the asian cup after a dramatic penalty shoot out win over saudi arabia. jurgen klinsmann�*s side were trailing 1—0 until the ninth minute of injury time — cho gue—sung with the equaliser. with the scores level after extra time, the game went to spot kicks. south korea goalkeeper jo hyeon—woo effectively won it for them with some crucial saves and it was left to wolves forward hwang hee—chan to score the winning penalty. they face a tough tie with australia in the last eight on friday.

i think this win gives the team an enormous amount of energy. it gives the team even more spirit. this is a group of players that i, personally, as a coach, enjoy so much working with, because they badly want to do well for their country. you know, they have a lot of heart, and that is what they showed the second half, they showed that in extra time. we wanted to win the game badly before the penalty shoot out. we didn't count on the penalty shoot out, because anything can happen in a penalty shoot out. two superb goals helped uzbekistan seal their spot in the quarter finals, as they beat thailand 2—1, the winner coming in the second half from abbosbek fayzullayev, at aljanoub stadium to set up a last eight clash with hosts and defending champions qatar on saturday. england's tyrrell hatton has become the latest high profile name to join liv golf in a deal reportedly worth about £50 million. he's expected to make his debut

in mexico this week as part of masters champion jon rahm's team. hatton, a fixture on europe's last three ryder cup teams, is a six—time champion on europe's dp world tour and picked up his first pga tour title at the 2020 arnold palmer invitational. the 32—year—old is currently ranked 16th in the world. there's already been reaction to this from players on the pga tour. former world number one justin thomas says he's disappointed that hatton has made the move. i think, at the end of the day, if that's what he thinks is best for him, then that's what he's got to do. 0bviously i'm bummed, and i wish he wasn't, but it's not like i'm going to call him and give him some spiel about how he shouldn't, it is just that i'm sure he's done his homework and research, and he feels it is the best decision, but it is what it is, i guess. a blow for england, ahead

of the upcoming six nations. marcus smith has been ruled out of their tournament opener against italy in rome on saturday with a calf injury. the harlequins fly half left england's training base in girona on crutches yesterday. his absence opens the door for northampton�*s fin smith to make his international debut. england are already without some key players who helped them to the world cup semi—finals as our rugby correspondent chrisjones explains. marcus smith was set to start for england this weekend, and even though england haven't put a timescale yet on his return from this calf problem, he will definitely not play against italy, and it is another selection blow for the england boss, steve borthwick. he is already without 0wen farrell, manu tuilagi, 0llie lawrence and joe marchand in that midfield so it will be a whole new look. there is the experience of george forde to call upon, that is crucial as a world—class operator, but the intriguing option is northampton�*s in form but uncapped 21—year—old finn smith.

and whether he starts or is on the bench, he is set now to make his debut in the stadio 0limpico. so lots for steve borthwick to ponder as he prepares to name his squad, starting xv, and the replacements on thursday evening but whoever is selected, the england scrum—half danny care is confident england are in a good place. i know the england fans are going to see a team that they can be proud to support, a team that fights for everything, a team that hopefully is trying to inspire people, and a team you can really get behind. i think that's the biggest thing. and we're all behind jamie and we are behind the boys, whoever gets picked, hopefully this is a really exciting time to be an english fan and an english player. with less than six months to go until the olympics, organisers say that security measures for the games are �*unprecedented'. the paris chief executive also says that they've sold almost all the tickets. 0ur sports editor dan roan has been speaking to etienne thobois.

great britain has been, i don't know if it is the expectation of a great team gb performance, but around 500,000 tickets were sold to british people, so you will be the biggest contingent, out of the french supporters, so very excited to welcome you guys in paris for the games. tennis now. angelique kerber�*s return to competition has suffered another setback after defeat at the linz open in austria. she was beaten by italy's lucia bronzetti 6—1, 6—3. kerber has lost six of her seven matches since returning to the wta tour after having a baby. bronzetti will face fourth seed elise mertens in the last 16. and finally, australian open championjannik sinner has been honoured by italian premier giorgia meloni. he's the first italian to win a grand slam singles title in nearly a half a century

after defeating daniil medvedev on sunday. that's just about it from us. 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. a fairly potent area of low pressure is going to move to the north of the uk. it's been named storm ingunn by the norwegian metservice. the southern half of the uk is going to be bright and breezy on wednesday, but that storm will bring some strong winds and heavy rain across northern parts of the uk, particularly so for parts of scotland, where the strongest winds could reach around 85 mph. here's the storm system; you can see it developing here. it is moving well

to the north of us. but just look at all those isobars heading our way through the day on wednesday. so that's the active front that's bringing the strong, squally winds and heavy rain. first thing, wednesday, i think temperatures are going to be nearfreezing, perhaps even a little below through central parts of england and wales. but i think frost—free further north, where we've got the cloud, the winds — gales already during wednesday morning and the rain moving in. so that rain willjust shift its way gradually further eastwards across parts of scotland through the morning. this line here could produce some really heavy bursts, perhaps some hail and thunder, and those gusts of wind could reach 85, possibly close to 90 mph up towards the western isles. but widely, we're looking at gales across scotland, parts of northern ireland and northern england as well. so gusts 55, perhaps 60 mph across this zone, enough to cause some significant disruption, particularly when combined with the heavy rain. further south, across england and wales, you should stay dry for a good part of the day, not as windy as further north, but still blustery. 8 to 11 celsius towards the south, a touch colder in the north, with that fresher air moving in,

and some wintry showers follow on overnight into thursday across the higher ground of scotland. but eventually the cloud and the rain clear away, so it's going to be another fairly chilly night, actually. we're likely to see a touch of frost in a few prone spots, certainly as we head on into thursday. but thursday does look like a much quieter day, because we'll lose the tail end of that storm system, and this ridge of higher pressure builds its way in for thursday. so that's going to squeeze away most of the rain and it will bring lighter winds. still quite a breezy day across northern and western scotland, with some rain arriving later. best of the sunshine for central, southern and eastern parts of the uk, and here, temperatures perhaps down a touch on recent days, 9 or 10 celsius, so a slightly fresher feel to the weather. but then it looks like we see things turning milder once again. so looking ahead for friday, into the weekend, some rain in the north and the west, drier towards the south, but it is looking mild for all of us. bye— bye.

live from washington, this is bbc news. president biden says he's decided how to respond to the deadly drone strike on us troops injordan. israeli undercover forces raid a hospital in the occupied west bank, killing three members of palestinian armed groups. plus, she lit up broadway and blazed her own path over a seven—decade career. chita rivera has died at the age of 91.

hello i'm katrina perry. presidentjoe biden says he has decided how the us will respond to sunday's deadly drone attack on american soldiers injordan but what we don't know yet is exactly how and when the us intends to retaliate. three us soldiers — all from the state of georgia — were killed on sunday morning, when a drone struck an army barracks on the border ofjordan and syria. the white house says president biden has spoken with theirfamilies. more than a0 others were injured in the attack. the strike injordan marked the first loss of life for american troops in the middle east since the start of the israel—gaza war. well, speaking to reporters outside the white house on tuesday, president biden said he holds iran responsible because it is iran that supplies weapons to the militia group the us believes carried out the attack. but mr biden reiterated the white house position that the us is not seeking war with iran.
