we start in the nba, where the golden state warriors overcame the early ejection of forward draymond green to defeat the orlando magic and stay in the race for a post—season place. it happened in the first quarter when green objected to a foul called on team—mate andrew wiggins and was given a technical for remonstrating with the officials. he then received a second and was ejected for the fourth time this season. team—mate steph curry wasn't impressed but turned his focus on orlando. this three pointer with 33 remaining gave the warriors a 101 to 93 win. they're 10th in the western conference. we need him. he knows that. we all know that. so whatever it takes to keep him on the floor, he'll be available... that's what's got to

happen. specially at this point in the year. so it is a tough way to start the game, but i'm extremely proud of every single person that stepped foot on the floor and responded the way they did. because back—to—back, a team as physical as they are, we got contributions from everybody and it was a beautiful team effort to respond the way we did and get this win. elsewhere, in the nba, kevin durant scored 30 points and took 13 rebounds as the phoenix suns beat the defending champions denver nuggets for the second time in a month. meanwhile, kawhi leonard scored two late three pointers and made a game—winning block to help the clippers to a narrow win over the philadelphia 76ers. he got it going late, but stand and be resilient, your not going to make shots every night, we talked of being a defensive team and our fires

were good. just you know stand and you can live with yourself if you lose games like that where you play hard and compete and scrap and that is what we have got to do every night. italianjannik sinner has reached the semi—finals of the miami open, putting out the impressive tomas machac after his great run in the tournament. second seed sinner won in straight sets against his 60th—ranked czech opponent. it was machac�*s first masters quarter final, beating andy murray and andrey rublev along the way. however, sinner was a step too far for him, the italian beating machac 6—4, 6—2. sinner faces third seed daniil medvedev next. in the women's singles, victoria azarenka is through to the semi—finals after taking three hours to beat yulia putintseva. she'll now play elena rybakina. meanwhile, american danielle collins beat caroline garcia 6—3, 6—2 to put her one more win away

from reaching herfirst final. she's planning to retire from the wta tour at the end of the season because of health reasons. collins will face russian ekaterina alexandrova. we will find out who plays whom in the semi—finals of the champions league later. paris saint—germain go into their second leg match against hacken with a 2—1 lead — the winner will play eight time champions lyon. while the defending champions barcelona lead norway's brann by the same score line. the winner of that quarter—final will face emma hayes�* chelsea in the last four. she says — in herfinal season at the club — they deserve to be there. if you look at our record in the champions league, even the last five years, it is only once we didn't qualify from the group and we have made the latter stages every year. we expect to be here i should say that, like i don't make any excuses, we should be at this level and we

should be at the semi—finals. of course, we have a little bit more depth to be able to do things like make six changes tonight than we have ever had. but, listen, again we haven't won anything, we are in the place where we want to be, i don't know who the opponents will but we are ready. the houston open gets underway in less than an hour with peter malnati hoping for back—to—back wins after his victory at the valspar championship on sunday. it was only the american�*s second win on the pga tour and his first for nine years. speaking ahead of the event at memorial park golf course, malnati said his win had resonated with fans because it was about golf and not money. i remember watching jordan in the 97 and tiger in the 2000 masters. i

didn't care whatjordan�*s contract was. i didn't scare what the winner's cheque was. i think people are sick of that. you know, i think people are just are sick of that. you know, i think people arejust sick are sick of that. you know, i think people are just sick of the narrative in golf being about you know contracts on liv, purses on the tour, guaranteed comp on the tour. people are sick of that. they want to see sport. they want to see people who are the best in the word at what they do do it at a high level and celebrate that an the athleticism and the achievement. and that's all the sport for now. queen camilla has arrived

for the traditional royal maundy thursday service. this was the queen a short while ago being greeted outside worcester cathedral. maundy thursday is a major fixture on the royal calendar. normally the monarch, who is the head of the church of england, presents special coins to people recognised for their community service. king charles isn't there today because of his cancer treatment. but he's recorded a message praising those who "extend the hand of friendship, especially in a time of need". hear the gospel of our lord jesus christ according to stjohn. before the feast of the passover, when jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart from this world, having loved his own, hi loved them unto the end. and super being ended, the devil having put into the heart ofjudas to betray

him, jesus knowing that the father has given all things into his hands and that he was come from god and went to god, he rises from supper and laid aside his garments and took and laid aside his garments and took a towel and girded himself. after that, he poureth water into a basin and began to wash the disciples�* feet. he come to peter and peter said, lord, dust thou wash my feet. jesus said what i do thou nowest not now, but that you shall know. peter said thou shall never wash my feet. jesus said if i wash thee not, thou has no part of me. simon said, not

my feet only, but also my hands and my feet only, but also my hands and my head. jesus said to him, he s that washed needeth not save to wash his feet, but is clean every wit and ye are clean, but not all. for he knew who should betray him. therefore said he, you�*re not all clean. after he had washed their feet and had taken his garments and was set down again, hi said unto them, know ye what i have done to you. ye call me master and lord. and ye say, well, for so i am. if i then your lord and master have washed your lord and master have washed your feet, your lord and master have washed yourfeet, yes your lord and master have washed your feet, yes also ought to wash one another�*s feet, for i have given an example that ye should do as i

have done unto you. this is the gospel have done unto you. this is the gospel. ladies and gentlemen, it is for me a great sadness that i cannot be with you all today. the maundy service has very special place in my heart. it has its origin in the life of our lord, who knelt before his disciples and to their great surprise washed their travel—weary feet. as we have just heard, surprise washed their travel—weary feet. as we havejust heard, in doing so, he deliberately gave to them and to us all an example of how we should serve and care for each other. in this country, we are blessed by all the different services that exist for our welfare. but also over and above these organisations and their self——less start, we need and benefit greatly from those who extend the hand of friendship to us. especially in a time of need. the 150 men and women

who have been chosen today to receive the maundy money from my wife are wonderful examples of such kindness, of going way beyond the call of duty and of giving so much of their lives to the service of others in their communities. this act of worship here in worcester cathedral, reminds me of the the pledge i made at the start of coronation service, to follow christ�*s example, not to be served, but to serve. that i have always tried to do and continue to do with my whole heart. it is my special prayer today that our lord�*s example of serving one another might continue to inspire us and to strengthen all our communities. may god bless you all this easter. king

charles's message _ god bless you all this easter. king charles's message on _ god bless you all this easter. king charles's message on maundy charles�*s message on maundy thursday. now time for the weather. hello again. parts of south—west england and wales saw some snow first thing this morning. but for most of us today, we�*re looking at a mixture of sunny spells and also some heavy, blustery showers. some of those will have thunder and lightning, some of them some hail. and it�*s going to be windy, especially england and wales and especially through the english channel. now, low pressure is firmly in charge of our weather and will be as we go through the next couple of days. and we�*re looking at gales, even severe gales developing through the english channel, 50 mile an hour gusts of wind across southern counties, but generally windy across england and wales, today. you certainly will notice it. this is the weather front that produced the rain and the snow in the early part of today moving into scotland. behind it, some sunshine, but you�*ll see showers develop across northern ireland, wales and england and some of those will be heavy and thundery with some hail. temperatures eight in the north to about 12 as we push down towards the south. now, through this evening

and overnight, this rain continues across scotland, still heavy, heavy showers across northern ireland and northern england. they could be thundery, further showers coming in across wales, southern england and the southeast and it�*s going to be a chilly night. so we start tomorrow once again with the rain across the far north—west of scotland pulling away during the course of good friday. and then we see a mixture of sunshine and showers, showers becoming a bit more widespread through the course of the day. but they are showers, not all of us will catch one, and it will feel a little bit milder because the wind�*s not going to be as strong as today. so as we head on through the easter weekend, the isobars open out, it�*s not going to be as windy. low pressure is still driving the weather, this weatherfront quite close to us in the southeast, and it looks like easter monday will be drier in the north and wetter in the south. but for saturday, first of all, we�*ve got this cloud to break up in the southeast and then it�*s a mixture of sunshine and showers. again, some of those could be heavy lighter winds

and highs up to 14 or 15. it will feel quite pleasant in the sunshine. as we head into easter sunday, most of the showers are going to be in the west. there might be some mist and fog first thing in the morning to lift and then a lot of dry weather around as well with some sunshine and these are the temperatures. so we�*re looking at 11 in stornoway and aberdeen to highs of 14, possibly 15 somewhere in the southeast.
