hello there. the pressure was on liverpool at anfield as they looked to regain that five—point lead at the top of the table, and they came through with flying colours against chelsea, with their inspiration coming from an unlikely source, 20—year—old northern irishman, conor bradley, deputising for trent alexander arnold, he scored his first goal for the club and also set assisted two others as they beat mauricio pochettino�*s chelsea 4—1. bradley set up diogojota before scoring their second of the night by half—time. darwin nunez had also missed a penalty, he hit the woodwork four times during the game. bradley then crossed for liverpool's third, a dominik szoboszlai header and though nkunku pulled one back, luis diaz added a fourth for liverpool,
2:46 am
a comfortable night for liverpool and a memorable one for conor bradley. he really understands the way we want to play. you have to be brave. he is that. so i am really happy for him. he can kept it calm, put them in a corner, stuff like the it's all fine. and he's a very, very serious young man, but that was pretty special. well, i think they were better than us. liverpool deserved the three points. i think we were not good enough. i think for many reasons, you know, we were waiting for them. yes, not much to say. i think they were better than us. the champions manchester city are up to second, ahead of arsenal on goal difference. they were far too strong

2:49 am
for his birthday after a defeat to manchester city. he is available for their game at wolves on thursday but ten hag was asked whether he was instilling the correct discipline at the club and if rashford was showing him disrespect. nothing to do with that with me, but in football, you need discipline. that is on the pitch, but also off the pitch, because also, there's a line. every player knows this. every professional knows this, what is required. we have to focus on winning football games, and that's all that matters. every top professional knows what is required. barcelona and atletico madrid both won in la liga to move eight points behind leaders girona. barca beat osasuna 1—0 at home.

in the first test. leach was in discomfort for most of england's remarkable victory in the first test, where he played a restricted role, and finally gave in to the inevitable after sitting out wednesday's training session with bruising and swelling on his left knee. he could be replaced by the uncapped shoaib bashir. england are one up in the five test series but will expect the hosts to respond in vizag on friday. we stick to what we do. we are not too worried about what they are doing. i'm sure they've got good players coming in, so that won't change anything for us. we're just trying to read the same conditions and see what happens from there. two years ago faye rogers she was told that she had no future in swimming. the student suffered a life—changing injury but went on to win a maiden world title last year and she's

saved your arm, but you "will not be able to swim again, you not be able "to compete" my mother was with me in that consultation and i kind of walked out and i turned around to her and was like, "0k, watch me." i got in and starting kicking and later it someone said to have you considered paraswimming, it clearly affects her stroke, and it took off from there. how much it help coming to university in aberdeen and gets in that part of your life going? it was a massive relief to get to university and swimming and the fact that i was able to slot straight into my course. it was amazing. i'm studying biochemistry to be a doctor, and ifind it challenging to balance sometimes, but i find i perform better in exams when i've train in the morning, better in exams when i've trained in the morning, they help each other. how much pride do you take from the way you fought back?
2:54 am
you've become a world champion, it's incredible. thank you, to get gold in the 100 metre fly was insane, it's cool to look at it and think it's less than two years after someone told me i would not be able to race again, i am really proud of how far i have come. i think i would say to anyone struggling or going through any challenge, you got this. you can do it, no matter who is telling you you can't. i think it is really important to trust yourself and know that as long as you are doing your best that's all you can do and it will work out, you will be where you need to be. all the very best to her for the rest of the year. just a quick reminder of our top story: liverpool, manchester city and tottenham all winning in the premier league on wednesday. liverpool restoring their five point lead at the top of the table. 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 powerful storm passed to the north of the uk on wednesday — storm ingunn, named by the norwegian weather service. across the faro islands, it brought wind gusts in excess of 120mph. then it slammed into the west coast of norway with gusts of more than 100mph. there's our storm system moving away as we head into thursday. now, across shetland, we saw wind gusts of 78mph, but even those winds have been easing a little. and through thursday, it's a quieter day ahead. some hazy sunshine, dry for many, still quite windy up towards the north, but not as windy as it has been. some wintry showers across the northwest of scotland. and a touch of frost for some of us first thing. for the majority, we'll see spells of hazy sunshine with high cloud streaming across the sky. thicker cloud into northern
2:56 am
england, northern ireland and scotland, with rain returning to the northwest of scotland later. temperatures across the board, eight, nine or ten degrees. now during thursday evening and overnight, we'll see this band of rain pushing across the north of scotland. behind that, we see lots and lots of cloud filtering in from the west. it'll turn really misty and murky for coasts and hills, some spots of drizzle. but look at these temperatures by the end of the night, by the start of friday morning, some spots up in double digits. that's because we will be between these two weather fronts — between this warm front and this cold front in what we call a warm sector — a wedge of very warm or at least very mild air. but these south—westerly winds, not only mild, also laden with moisture. so, a lot of cloud on friday, some mist and murk for western coasts and hills, where there will also be some bits and pieces of rain. best chance of any sunshine to the east of higher ground, although the winds here will be pretty gusty. but look at the afternoon temperatures — 13, 1a. we may see highs of 15 celsius.
2:57 am
now during friday night, we see a weak cold front pushing its way southwards. that will bring a lot of cloud. it will bring some bits and pieces of showery rain. nothing much, really, on this weather front to look at for saturday. to the south of it, we're still in that very mild but rather cloudy and damp regime. to the north of the weather front, something a little bit brighter, but with some showers still not particularly cold. temperatures north to south, 7 to 1a celsius. into sunday, mild air, ifanything, pushes northwards again. a lot of clouds and bits and pieces of rain. highs of 1a celsius.

a symbol of the stalemate between russia and ukraine. hello, i'm caitriona perry. you're very welcome. the heads of five of the world's biggest social media firms faced nearly four hours of aggressive questioning at a us senate hearing on child safety online. senators accused them of providing platforms for sex offenders and failing to protect minors. meta's mark zuckerberg and his peers insisted that they already have robust protections in place and are investing billions of dollars in safety features. it was a rare opportunity for the us senators to question the tech bosses. but while it created an opportunity to air grievances and offer strident defences, there's been little sign of concrete progress on the issues at play. the bbc�*s technology editor zoe kleinman has more. today's vast social media empires are managed by a handful of big names — meta, snap, tiktok, discord and x.
