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, 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 for struggling burnley winning 3—1 at the etihad.

julian alvarez scored twice in the first half and rodri cemented city's win with their third, less than a minute into the second half. another positive for city, erling haaland came off the bench for 20 minutes after two months out with a foot injury. ameen al dakhil pulled one back for burnley in injury time but they remain in the relegation zone seven points off safety. today the game was not close. they had a feeling that it was close, but it was not especially for the types of players that we have. less control. more runners, more speed. it's not easy to face and they never give up, they try they try and try and try, and i think today we won for the quality of the players that we have not because we control. i don't have that feeling. tottenham were trailing 1—0 to brentford at half—time but scored three quick goals from destiny udogie,

brennanjohnson and richarlison straight after the break and won 3—2 in the end. that moves them into the top four. we scored and we just lost our way, got dragged into, doing things that stopped us from getting a foothold in the game, a lot of stoppages and a lot of set pieces. we added to that with ill disciplined, just the general focus of the team i thought, the first 25—30 minutes were brilliant. wish we would've got a couple more. the message from the manchester united manager erik ten hag was again case closed when pushed about marcus rashford's latest transgression. the england forward is now back in the fold after being excluded from the squad for their fa cup tie over the weekend. he missed training on friday after spending two nights out in belfast last week. earlier this season he had to apologise after going out 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. their 18—year—old brazilian striker vitor roque came off the bench to score the winner. atletico madrid stay

third thanks to a late mephis depay winner. they beat rayo vallecano 2—1. japan are through to the asian cup quarter finals, where they'll face iran after beating bahrain 3—1 in qatar. ritsu doan gave japan a first half lead after a spectacular effort from seya maikuma had smashed against the woodwork. after the break, goals from takefusa kubo and ayase ueda ensured the four time champions japan will progress to the last eight. the other match in the last 16 was much tighter, syria made it 1—1 in normal time with this penalty, and even though iran played the whole of extra time with ten men they prevailed in the penalty shoot—out 5—3 to send them through to the quarters for the eighth time in a row. england spinnerjack leach is out of the second test against india after suffering a knee injury while fielding 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 well. 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 now a gold medal contenderfor the the paralympics in paris. it's a remarkable turnaround for rogers, who wants to make

an impact at the first world series event of the year in aberdeen. she's been speaking to our reporter nick hope. to reach a paralympic podium, preparations need to be perfect, precision is paramount. faye rogers, a biochemistry student, has devised a winning formula in and out of the pool, despite a life—changing accident in 2021. it was on the day i was supposed to move up to aberdeen, my car was packed and ready for uni because i was driving straight up from training, but on the way i was involved in a quite serious car accident. there were several open fractures in my elbow, it was dislocated, all my nerve was severed, a lot going on, and i was in hospital for quite a while. about three weeks after the consultant sat me down and said, "we have 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 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 trained in the morning, they help each other. how much pride do you take from the way you fought back? 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 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. 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.

live from washington, this is bbc news. have blood on your hands. you have a product... lawmakers on capitol hill press tech leaders on why they're not doing more to protect children online. we speak to a mother who lost her daughter to suicide. there's been a further escalation of strikes involving us military forces and houthi rebels, amid broader concerns over escalating violence in the region. russia's vladmir putin launches his re—election bid, aiming for another six years in power. his victory is all but assured,

yet he's not running unopposed. hello, i'm caitriona perry. 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 the companies 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 chance for 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 kieinman has more. today's vast social media empires are managed by a handful of big names — meta, snap, tiktok, discord and x. their bosses faced angry

lawmakers in washington for a tense grilling about why children continue to be exposed
