that ivory coast have had in the previous rounds, been a roller coasterfor previous rounds, been a roller coaster for them. previous rounds, been a roller coasterforthem. it previous rounds, been a roller coaster for them. it was an amazing experience, ali. i'm here in the centre of a bridge on, it took place at a stadium about 11 miles away. the drive back into the city was something else. there were parties breaking out on the sides of the road, brilliant atmosphere, everyone beeping their horns, peoples flooding into the streets. i think the head coach of ivory coast, interim head coast, who said his manager during the tournament which is remarkable, he summed up everyone�*s feelings because they said they are living a dream being in this final of africa cup of nations after everything they've gone through. and one player that some set up is the score of the winning goal, sebastian use to play in the premier league for west ham, what a story he has had. this is a player who has recovered from testicular cancer. he suffered from cancer in 2022, and he's recovered and now he's close to being the hero

at this africa cup of nations. all the billboards here in abidjan, he is the face of a ball of the moment. he scored the winning goal to put them in the final, the ivory coast fans are just them in the final, the ivory coast fans arejust winning them in the final, the ivory coast fans are just winning this. the? fans are “ust winning this. they are into the fans are just winning this. they are into the final, _ fans are just winning this. they are into the final, nigeria _ fans are just winning this. they are into the final, nigeria have - fans are just winning this. they are into the final, nigeria have wanted | into the final, nigeria have wanted three times in a much more than ivory coast. this will be their eighth time in the final, something like that. would you make them slight favourites, john? i can see, ali, white people _ slight favourites, john? i can see, ali, white people would _ slight favourites, john? i can see, ali, white people would argue - slight favourites, john? i can see, | ali, white people would argue they are favourites. they've already played ivory coast in this tournament, only gold from the penalty spot it was on the score sheet is well again from the penalty spot, they've got african footballer of the year, victor also none of the friend who isn't scoring many goals. he's get one so far in this tournament but he's been superb. he is pressing his work right. and nigeria defensively have been

excellent as well. only one goal from open play during the tournament, i think ivory coastjust about have the edge because they have home advantage and they have two players returning from injury who are finding former mention sebastien who is the focal point, but their x factor player is bright and simon odinga, and he was a big reason why they played so well, so simon odinga could do the player that makes a difference in the final. . �* , , ., , , final. that's why he was in my fantasy league, _ final. that's why he was in my fantasy league, i've _ final. that's why he was in my fantasy league, i've missed i final. that's why he was in my i fantasy league, i've missed him. thanks so much again. it's almost a decade sincejesse lingard became a regular at manchester united after coming through their academy in 2018 he shone for england on their run to the world cup semi finals but his career has since stalled and he's been without a club since leaving nottingham forest last summer. enter fc seoul, where he now become arguably the highest

that i am not planning to run in 2027 any more. the reason is that after some time, every organisation needs fresh blood, but mainly because i was away from my family for seven years now and i will be away from them for three more — until �*27. i actually didn't want to disclose my thoughts before. first, i wanted to see the real face of some people and i saw it. i saw good and bad parts. and of course, i didn't want to influence the congress. they are going with the same 15 from the narrow win over italy for the game against wales at twickenham on saturday. here's our rugby

tom daly and noah williams there, and that silver means they have qualified for the ill effects as well, more reaction to that on the bbc sport website but for me and the rest of the team, goodbye for now. —— for the olympics as well. hello. well, as predicted, the winter wonderland did arrive in the areas where it was forecast. so mostly the northern hills of wales, northern england, some in northern ireland and scotland, too. here's a picture from wakefield, beautiful snowflakes there, but elsewhere rain, heavy rain. and these are the stratus and the nimbostratus rain—bearing clouds shrouding the tops of the skyscrapers in london. ok, let's have a look at the radar, then. where it's blue, it's raining. this was earlier on. where its white and grey, that's sleet and snow, so that weather front is moving northwards into scotland. now another clump of rain heading towards the south of england, and warnings from the met office for snow and ice are still valid

across parts of the country. so you can check that online. so the forecast through the night, particularly heavy rain moving in from the south, moving northwards. could be 40—plus millimetres of rain in some areas. across the north and the north—east there, i think it's that mixture of sleet and snow, particularly across the higher ground. but that thaw is setting in, a rapid thaw from the south. you can see 11 degrees in london in the morning, and further north about 4—5 celsius. so the weather map for friday shows the low pressure still close by. here's the weather front. north of the weather front, it's still pretty chilly. that easterly wind drawing in the colder air from scandinavia. here we have that west—south—westerly, so that mild air coming in. and i think again across the highlands and grampians, further snow to come on friday, again met office warnings for that. the rest of the country, it's a case of often cloudy weather, showers continuing through the day and into the evening hours as well. not a pleasant picture for some of us on friday and friday night. that takes us into saturday.

the low pressure still with us. that weather front still there affecting the north—east of scotland, but already you can see turning milder. nine degrees in glasgow, seven in aberdeen. and the low is still with us on sunday, but this clump of rain i think grazes the north—east of england and also eastern scotland for a time, but out towards the west and the south, i think the weather's going to be drier and brighter with just a scattering of showers. now, the outlook through the weekend into next week, it looks as though things could settle down a little bit as we head into monday and eventually tuesday with high pressure building in, at least for a time. bye— bye. live from london, this is bbc news. president zelensky fires his army commander—in—chief and warns ukraine
