they're looking good to reach the quarterfinals after winning the first leg of their last 16 tie 3—1 at fc copenhagen. it wasn't entirely straightforward for them though. straightforward kevin de bruyne put them ahead inside ten minutes, but the danish champions took advantage of a poor clearance from goalkeeper ederson — as magnus mattsson equalised with a fantastic strike. however, it wasn't level for long — bernardo silva making it 2—1 to cityjust before half—time with a clever flick after a ball from de bruyne deflected through to him. it looked like that's how it would finish — but the holders ensured they left with a two—goal cushion thanks to phil foden�*s late strike in stoppage time. arguably the most serious challengers to city's crown are the record 1a time winners real madrid — and they've won the first leg of their last 16 tie 1—0 at rb leipzig. it was a former city player, brahim diaz, who got the only goal

of the game in germany. he did thejude bellingham celebration, in support of the england midfielder who missed the game through injury. the second leg is in three weeks�* time, just as it is for manchester city. there are two more matches to come on wednesday, as the knockout stages continue. bayern munich have a chance to put their bundelsiga defeat to bayer leverkusen at the weekend behind them, as they go to lazio for the first leg of their last 16 tie. bayern have won the trophy six times, with their most recent success four years ago when they beat paris saint—germain. and psg also play on wednesday with kylian mbappe set to return for their first leg at home to real sociedad. the 25—year—old france striker was an unused substitute in their 3—1 league win against lille on saturday. football's world record transfer fee for a woman has been broken again. zambia international

racheal kundananji has left madrid to join newly created us team bay fc, based in the californian city of sanjose. the fee is believed to be around $860,000. so many girls would have advised me —— i have asked for advice from me how they can get the best out of themselves. some young, young girls. even six or eight, they are looking after me, saying, i want to be like rachel. dutchmen looking up like rachel. dutchmen looking up to me. ijust feel like i —— i need to do my little bit every day. but i tell them they also need to work hard and they

can be the best players in the world. this is what they have been waiting for, we have been talking about this for a long time. every time i'm playing football, they can text me and encourage me to continue to play hard. i sure know this is the first one and there are more coming. let's have a quick look now at some other stories making the headlines. the english premier league has given the green light to sirjim ratcliffe�*s purchase of 25% of manchester united. the deal, worth around £1 billion, is still subject to football association approval. england captain leah williamson is back in the squad for the first time since a knee injury forced her to miss the world cup last year. she's one of 23 players selected to face austria and italy in friendlies later this month. former england manager sven goran eriksson will be

part of the liverpool legends management team for a charity game at anfield against ajax legends in march. eriksson, who's been diagnosed with terminal cancer, said last month that he's "always wished to be the manager of liverpool". saudi arabia continues to spend big on sport. world snooker says a newly created event will be held in the country from this year. called the saudi arabia snooker masters, it will offer a $2.5 million prize fund and become the sport's "fourth major". that makes it the second—richest event on the schedule, with the inaugural tournament to be held in riyadh at the end of august. shabnam younus—jewell has more of the details. it is that prize pot of £2 million that puts itjust behind the world championship, which is about £2.11 million in

prize—money, with the top prize being half £1 million. that shows you the investment in this tournament. of course, we have at first event, the invitational with the golden ball that will happen next month, not to be confused with this one. that was announced recently as well, but this one is going to be a ranking event, and you get ranking points and isjust another and you get ranking points and is just another tournament on this calendar that players can go and compete in four big, big money. you are going to see the big players like ronnie o sullivan and judd trump and mark selby going into this tournament and that's what people want to see, these players want to go out there and compete for the big money so in that way, it's a huge announcement and it's in saudi arabia, it's in another country, something again that the world snooker tour are keen to do to expand out to as many places as they can do. next to a couple of big upsets at the qatar 0pen, where the number two and four seeds have been knocked out

in the second round. coco gauff, making herfirst appearance since her australian open semifinal defeat, was stunned in straight sets by katerina siniakova. despite being seeded second, the 19—year—old us 0pen champion was beaten 6—2, 6—4 by the czech player — a doubles specialist — getting one of the biggest wins of her singles career. there was disappointment for 0ns jabeur, seeded four, the tunisian outplayed by ukraine's lesia tsurenko who won comfortably 6—3, 6—2. but better news for the unseeded naomi 0saka as she continues her comeback after giving birth to her first child injuly — she beat croatia's petra martic in straight sets to reach the last 16. in cricket, the west indies ended their three match t20 series against australia with a consolation win in perth. batting first, the tourists finished 220—6. player of the match andre russell top—scoring with 71 offjust 29 balls. in reply australia could only

the real first lapse before to judge where exactly we are. and finally, it's an iconic moment from the winter olympics. a0 years ago, british ice dancers jayne torvill and christopher dean won gold and became the first dancing pair ever to receive a perfect six from alljudges in a skating competition. they are back in bosnia tojoin the celebrations of the 40th anniversary of the sarajevo winter olympics. the pair held a training session to try to inspire the next generation of ice skaters — just as they did a0 years ago. from winning the olympics in 1984, we previously had won world championships within ice—skating, but there are so many sports involved in the olympics, i don't know, it's 0lympics, i don't know, it's just a much bigger thing. everybody watches it. there is

hello. it's wet, it's mild. if anything, it's going to get even milder across some parts of the country. but this story is not true for scotland — it's been quite the opposite. at the moment we've got clear skies. it's very cold in the highlands. and early on wednesday morning, temperatures in some spots could be as low as —8 degrees celsius, but not in northern ireland, england and wales. the air current is coming in from the southwest. weather fronts are crossing us here. a lot of cloud and outbreaks of rain. so the clear skies will be across scotland through the early hours and this is where we've got also light winds. we recently had some snow showers as well in the last 24 hours. so hence the temperatures are pretty low, close to the ground. but just to the south of that, we have the weather fronts, that thick cloud, layers of cloud, outbreaks of rain. 10 degrees in the south, around about 6 by the time we get to belfast and a couple of degrees above freezing in the morning in glasgow and edinburgh. so here's the forecast for wednesday. now, these weather fronts or rain—bearing clouds will be shifting northwards through the course of the day.

again, some wintriness across the highlands. i think to sum up wednesday, rain possible almost at any time, almost anywhere across the country. but also one or two glimmers of sunshine. temperatures should reach 14 or 15 degrees celsius, i think, across parts of england. and then on thursday, a more substantial area of rainfall crosses scotland. this is actually a cold front, so the air behind it is slightly cooler. ahead of it, here around east anglia, lincolnshire, the south east, where the sky's clear with a bit of sunshine, it is possible that temperatures may reach 16 or 17 degrees celsius. not unheard of this time of the year. in fact, it's happening more and more often. so, why so mild? well, if we track this airstream, you can see the air�*s coming in all the way from portugal and spain, in fact, the canaries. and you can even trace it back all the way into the subtropical atlantic — a really mild air mass streaming our way over the next few days. but i mentioned something about a cold front. here it is, as it moves over the uk during the course of friday and then introducing

something a little less mild. it's not going to get cold, it'sjust not going to be as mild. let's have a look at the outlook, then, over the next few days. so, the peak of this mild spell will be around thursday. but after that, it looks as though those temperatures will ease a little bit. staying on the mild side, and overall, the weather very changeable with rain at times.
