11:45 am
hello from the bbc sport centre. the wales manager, rob page, was left reflecting on the cruelty of sport as his young side lost their european playoff final to poland on penalties. after 90 minutes and extra time,
11:46 am
the match was goalless so it went to the dreaded penalty shoot—out. everyone scored until danjames took wales�*s fifth and final spot kick, only to see it saved, and with it went their dreams of making their third european championship in a row. page knows this will take a while to get over. absolutely gutted for them. yeah, it is a horrible way to go out, isn't it? and it is a cruel game. so i'm really disappointed right now, but really proud of the players. and that was the message to them in the changing room after, you know, for what the campaign overall. i couldn't be more proud and the journey that they're on, so it's a horrible way to go out, but hopefully we learn and become strongerfrom having gone through the horrible experiences of tonight. ukraine came back to beat iceland and seal their spot at the euros this summer. they won 2—1, with the game being played in poland because of the ongoing
11:47 am
war with russia. iceland took the lead, but ukraine found their equaliser in the second half, before chelsea's mikhailo mudryk got a late winnerfor them. their manager hailed a huge achievement from his players, given the backdrop to the match. i think it's definitely a very important win for all of us — for our country, for our players. and i am personally very pleased for the players because these two games was very nervous, very difficult. and, of course, before the games, after the game, we are telling all thies wins are for our supporters, for our country, for our people, for our soldiers, who is now protecting our freedom. and georgia will be going to the first major tournament in their history, after beating 2004 winners greece on penalties to make it to this summer's european championship. it was scoreless after extra time, but georgia were clinical from the spot, leading to huge celebrations for the home fans in tbilisi. their head coach, former
11:48 am
bayern munich defender willy sagnol, has achieved much in the game, but what he's building with georgia is clearly something very special. to stay in georgia, i will pay to fill what i feel today. so i'm happy, and i never thought about going even if you would have asked me before the match. ifeel good, i'm feeling good, for years i'm surrounded by amazing people, and i think that is the most important thing. scotland's preparations for the euros had something of a setback — they were beaten 1—0 at home by northern ireland, their seventh game without a win. while england battled back to draw 2—2 against belgium, thanks to an injury—time equaliser from jude bellingham. with a host of established names missing, manager gareth southgate said the past two matches have been useful to test the depth of the squad. we know who's been able to play at that level, who our very best players are.
11:49 am
and the rest, we've got a lot clearer picture of what people are capable of from the two games that we've played. and we're just going to see how people are when they come back into form, whether they can do that fitness—wise with their clubs. england's women have won the t20 series against new zealand, with victory in wellington. maia bouchier hit an impressive 91 off 56 balls, her second half—century in a row, to help england to 177—3. and charlie dean took four wickets as new zealand fell 47 runs short. the win means england are 3—1 up in the series with one match left to play. it was great to get a win and win the series. i think we talked about going out there with the same intent we have the whole time, and i guess it came off for me today but also at the back end, you know, we had nat on the other is put in a good end score for us. and the highest t20
11:50 am
score for us. and the highest t20 score that we have scored, so, yeah, really good for them. and then obviously the bowling to finish it off at the end was a great way to win and win the series and see that. the world number one, novak djokovic, has split with his long time coach goran ivanisovic. on social media, djokovic said... in the nba, the los angeles lakers overcame a i9—point deficit in the fourth quarter to beat the milwaukee bucks. the lakers�* comeback was even more impressive because they were missing star man lebron james. the hosts, who never led the game in regulation time, won it 128—124 in double overtime. it's their fourth straight win. a20 a 20 point lead in this
11:51 am
league now is nothing. because of the way the offence is right now, and so you can wipe a lead away pretty fast. so we just try to use the first five or six minutes to try and cut the lead down and take it from there. and cut the lead down and take it from there-— from there. you can keep up-to-date with all of the — from there. you can keep up-to-date with all of the sports _ from there. you can keep up-to-date with all of the sports news _ from there. you can keep up-to-date with all of the sports news on - from there. you can keep up-to-date with all of the sports news on the - with all of the sports news on the bbc sport website and app. from everybody here at the bbc sports centre, that is all of your sport for now. from all of us, goodbye for now. thanks very much. now, check your passport issue and expiry date or risk being refused entry to cities and holiday destinations across the eu. that is the message to as many as 32 million people. it is all because of post—brexit entry rules, and it is reportedly already catching out
11:52 am
scores of people. earlier i spoke to traveljournalist scores of people. earlier i spoke to travel journalist simon scores of people. earlier i spoke to traveljournalist simon calder and what it means for holiday goers going forward. what it means for holiday goers going forward-— what it means for holiday goers going forward. until brexit, it was very easy. — going forward. until brexit, it was very easy. you _ going forward. until brexit, it was very easy. you had _ going forward. until brexit, it was very easy, you had a _ going forward. until brexit, it was very easy, you had a british - very easy, you had a british passport is valid up to and including the expiry date. after democratic vote to leave the eu, the government negotiated on our behalf to become third country nationals. that is the same status as people from venezuela or samoa or macau. anyway, that then brings into play existing european union rules which means that the issue date of your passport suddenly becomes irrelevant. save your passport was issued more than ten years ago, then you are not getting into the european union. and of course, britain had this very welcome situation, my passport indeed with ten years at nine months, they gave you credit for underspend of time. that absolutely wasn't a problem while we were in the eu, now, sadly,
11:53 am
it is. and every day i hearfrom people who have been turned away at the departure gate because they simply didn't realise. they thought," well, we have six months left on the passport, it shouldn't be a problem." until they find out too late that it is. they lose the money for their holiday and the travel insurer will not be interested, it is always your responsibility to be compliant. indie responsibility to be compliant. we have heard stories as well, just like you, of people being turned away. i'm interested, because if you book a flight online, you have to put your passport details in it, don't you? so could the airlines be doing more, if the dates don't match up, they alert us before we actually end up getting to the airport, getting to the queue to get on the plane and being told, "sorry, you can't go?"— can't go?" absolutely, and i have been doing _ can't go?" absolutely, and i have been doing all— can't go?" absolutely, and i have been doing all i _ can't go?" absolutely, and i have been doing all i can _ can't go?" absolutely, and i have been doing all i can to _ can't go?" absolutely, and i have been doing all i can to persuade i can't go?" absolutely, and i have i been doing all i can to persuade the airlines to do this. of course, if you have a good human travel agent, they will demand to know your
11:54 am
passport details well in advance and alert you to any possible problems. the airlines do ask for information, but they are not doing it to check that you are compliant, all they are doing is checking your identity details, expiry date of the passport, date of birth and so on, because they have to do that to supply what is called advanced passenger information for security purposes. it doesn't say at all whether or not you will be let in. i talked to the emirates, they basically say, "look, it is terribly completed, we —— i talk to the airlines, we simply cannot police is for everybody. 0ne airlines, we simply cannot police is for everybody. one exception i'm glad to say, to be the big holiday company, they are working on a system which they hope will flag things up early —— tui. but for now, please check your passport expiry. if it is over ten years or you haven't got three months left,
11:55 am
sorry, if the passport is over ten years old or you haven't got three months before the expiry when you plan to leave the european union, you have a problem. if you are going to renew, please do so online. but conversely, don't renew unnecessarily. there are loads of place, america, canada, tunisia, you can go to up to and including the expiry date on your passport. simon calder, expiry date on your passport. simon calder. travel _ expiry date on your passport. simon calder, travel expert. _ expiry date on your passport. simon calder, travel expert. i— expiry date on your passport. simon calder, travel expert. i want - expiry date on your passport. simon calder, travel expert. i want to - calder, travel expert. i want to take you back to the live pictures from baltimore, where that vessel crashed into a bridge yesterday. we have heard in the last hour that investigators have recovered the data recorderfrom investigators have recovered the data recorder from the ship and are hoping it will throw light on to why the vessel lost power soon after leaving baltimore port. the head of the national transportation safety board said it will look into whether dirty fuel could have played a role in that crash. annita mcveigh will be here very shortly with bbc news
11:56 am
now, we will have the latest from baltimore, but let's get a check on the weather with helen willetts. hello. it's been pretty miserable for the morning rush with driving rain, hill snow across the north, and even a dusting of snow in the heavier downpours further south, as well. this is exmoor earlier. so, it is slightly windier today, as this area of low pressure to the west of us continues to deepen. so, there are more isobars around, particularly in the south and the north, where we'll have gale force winds to accompany this rain and this hill snow. so, a pretty cold day here. after the heavy rain moves away from northern ireland, heavy showers will follow, those heavy showers pushing their way across england and wales as well, after some sunshine first thing. the sunshine does return, but with it, some heavier showers, hail and thunder mixed in. and so the strength of the wind as well will temper the feel, even though we'll get to perhaps 9—12 celsius. 0vernight, the rain breaks up in the north, the showers follow. we've got more rain and hill snow to come in southern areas, hill snow for the moors,
11:57 am
into the welsh mountains, the peaks as well, because it's going to be a chilly three or four, perhaps a touch of frost in the north. but, by and large, there's more wind overnight to prevent a frost, particularly in the south. this deepening area of low pressure has been named storm nelson by the spanish met service. it will have big impacts further south, and it will have impacts for ourselves tomorrow, because not only have we got the rain and the hill snow, but gale force winds. so, gusts of perhaps 60mph buffeting southern and western coasts in particular. but the winds will pick up further north, driving those bands of rain and hill snow as well northwards. and, again, only 9—12 degrees celsius. so, feeling chilly despite some march sunshine between those showers. now, on balance, we should see more of that march sunshine on good friday, but that low pressure is still with us to the west. but, just gradually, the shower activity and the winds are easing down. so it will feel a little bit more springlike, 12—14 degrees celsius. and bear in mind, of course, we're into the tree pollen season now.
11:58 am
so, if you're struggling a little, that's the reason why. into saturday, this low pressure brushes close to the south and the east, and we've got a succession of low pressures to move in from the south and east, as well. so the concern is how far into the uk they'll bring their rain. there's a lot of uncertainty at the moment, so please do stay tuned to the forecast, more of which you can find on the website as well as all the warnings.
11:59 am
