climbing is on the up, we'll bring you the reason why. there were five games in the premier league on tuesday. nottingham forest beat fulham 3—1 to pick up three precious points in their battle to avoid relegation. forest dominated the first half and were 3—0 up at the break. morgan gibbs white was on target, as were callum hudson odoi and chris wood. the result leaves them one off the relegation places, 3 points ahead of luton. it's forest's biggest home victory of the season. we'll keep insisting, we'll keep repeating. so these chances we cannot almost take 100% of them

and try to reach the perfection of it. that is our main obsession how much of a difference will it make with the momentum of back—to—back wins? it is back-to-back wins? it is important _ back-to-back wins? it is important but _ back-to-back wins? it is important but it - back-to-back wins? it is important but it cannot l important but it cannot distract us because we still belong way to go and we have experienced these moments before we had good performance in the next game we were not able to sustain this is the message, try to sustain. everton striker dominic calvert—lewin held his nerve from the penalty spot to score his first goal in 2a games in all competitions against newcastle at st james park. it salvaged a vital point for the toffees in their bid to stay in the top flight. newcastle had earlier taken the lead through alexander isak. it finished one all. look, i mean, this job wasn't a walk in the park when i got here. it's still not. there's a long way to go, but there's a lot of steps we're making in the right direction. and i think that's important to rememberfor me. i do remember it.

i do value the lads and do i take pride in what they're doing. they're working very hard. i do equally know we're more capable of getting wins and results, but we haven't scored as many goals as we should. we know that. but i think the mentality is right and it was certainly right tonight. but it's got to continue. west ham and tottenham battled out a one all draw at the london stadium. brennanjohnson gave spurs the lead afterjust five minutes, but west ham levelled 14 minutes later, kurt zouma heading home from a corner. spurs missed the chance to go fourth, they remain in fifth, two points behind aston villa. west ham stay seventh. the beautiful thing is we had the belief in when we didn't win and didn't get points, this isjust the cherry win and didn't get points, this is just the cherry on the cake and we will keep going. it is not necessarilyjust and we will keep going. it is not necessarily just about everybody is thinking about the next 7—8 games, it is not about that it's about who you are as a club and burnley at its core has always been a fighting club, and is never been easy

12:49 am
to try and break the deadlock. ahead of their match against aston villa, grealish's former club of course, guardiola was asked why he chose to remonstrate with his player so publicly, and he gave a somewhat tongue in cheek answer. i'm the famous person of the team and i don't recognise and i need the cameras to my ego go to sleep with incredible satisfaction. so that is the reason why. so always i try to criticise the players there and let them feel that how bad they are. and especially when erling is scored three goals, the compliment has to be with me, not with them. that's why i use the cameras to do it there. so my advice next time don't film us. it will not be a problem. there was also plenty of cup semifinal action across europe — in germany's dfb cup kaiserslautern have reached the final of the dfb cup for the first time since 2003 after a 2—0 victory over third tier saarbrucken. saarbrucken had beaten bayern munich en route
12:50 am
to the final but kaiserslauten despite not having a first half shot on target rallied to claim the win and will face the winner of wednesday's second semifinal between xabi alonso's bayer leverkkusen and fortuna dusseldorf. in the coppa italia — 14 time winnersjuventus will take a 2—0 lead into the second leg of their semifinal tie against lazio. federico chiesa and dusan vlahovic scored in the second half, just a second win forjuve in their last 10 matches. the second leg is in three weeks' time and the winner will play either fiorentina or atalanta in may's final. while in the first semifinal of the coupe de france, lyon are through to a first final since 2012 after an alexandre lacazette double helped see off valenciennes in a 3—0 win. lyon will face either record iii—time winners psg or rennes who face each other on wednesday in the second semifinal. danielle collins brushed aside paula badosa, beating her in straight sets in the opening round of the charleston open in south carolina now ranked at a career—high 22
12:51 am
in the world after lifting her maiden wta 1000 title in miami last week, collins — here at the bottom of your screen — overcame the spaniard to extend her winning streak to eight matches. the 30—year—old american, who plans to retire at the end of the season, will face defending champion 0ns jabeur for a place in the last 16. matteo berrettini eased his way through to the second round of the atp tour event in morocco with a 6—2, 6—1 win over sixth seed kazakhstan's alexander shevchenko. it's just the second tour event of the year for the italian following a foot injury and he needed an hour and 15 minutes to set up a clash with spanish world number 135 jaume munar. stan wawrinka won this event 14 years ago and he was a straight sets 6—1, 6—4 winner over spain's albert ramos—vinolas. the 39 —year—old swiss, a three—time grand slam winner will now face seventh seed

mariano navone. england all—rounder ben stokes has asked to not be considered for selection for this summer's t20 world cup to focus on his fitness. stokes says he wants to use the break to ensure he can be "the all—rounder i want to be" across all formats. he had knee surgery over the winter and bowled just five overs during the recent five—test series in india. the 32—year—old has already opted out of the indian premier league, which began last month. adam peaty won the 100 metres breastroke final on the first day of the aquatics gb swimming championships in london. it means he's qualified for this summer's olympics in paris. peaty left the others trailing in his wake to come home in under 58 seconds, the fastest time this year. he's aiming to win a third successive breastroke gold medal at the forthcoming games in paris. this morning i was like i am so grateful i am back here and did

not give up and i think that is the a message to a lot of young people, you may not get a pb, i haven't in like five years. but it is the hope every day and great grace to all the british swimmers as well. we're coming back and with that. climbing was a big hit when it made its 0lympic debut in tokyo. great britain's most decorated climber, shauna cox—see, took part in the women's event and this year teenager toby roberts is set to become the first british male climber to compete at the games. alpa patel reports. he's been called a teenage climbing sensation and four months time. this 18—year—old will be the first british male climber to compete at the olympic games. how did you get into climbing? so i got into climbing an after school club. i was just eight years old. my science teacher egged me on to give a go and then i went there. i absolutely loved it.
12:54 am
i found it so addicting and i was just hooked from that point i started. my parents weren't climbers. i had nothing...like no idea about climbing. ijust kept going to the climbing wall. i kept enjoying it and then it slowly started progressing to find myself here. now, just having qualified for paris feels feels absolutely incredible. what's your top tips? if you were a beginner. using your body to get off it and not just pulling as hard as you can, so like trying to turn your body into the wall to use, like, less strength and more of technique to get up. close by is dad and coach christian who tells us what the last ten years have been like. it's easy now because he's at this level, but things that you don't necessarily realise, like doing homework in between sets of pull ups, dinner on the way to the climbing centre, eating out of tupperware and just thinking that's normal. getting home really late. every school holiday was a climbing holiday. i think to start from nothing and then see him go the whole way through, to compete on that stage,
12:55 am
it's obviouslyjust an incredible achievement and we're amazingly proud of him. an olympic gold would be nice, that's my size to sell now. but i think the way i get that is by forgetting about the olympic medal and thenjust going and climbing. 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 there. weather for the remainder of this week is going to stay very unsettled. it's going to be a frustrating week to try and make plans for those who have children off for the easter break. there will be some sunny intervals, but spells of wind and rain at times. and as we head into the weekend, it will turn windier but milder. in fact, in east anglia, we could see a high of 20 celsius, 68 fahrenheit — way above the average for this
12:56 am
time of year in that area. bearthat in mind, but we are all starting to be aware that a warmer atmosphere means a wetter one. and you can see these areas of low pressure waiting in the wings to influence the weather story. so the first low is moving through on wednesday, bringing rain into northern ireland, southern scotland. behind it, there'll be a few sharp showers to come as well. so by the middle part of the afternoon, expect some sunny spells, perhaps more than we saw on tuesday. and temperatures will peak at highs of 15 celsius. some of the showers across northern england, though, could still be quite heavy. and that showery rain will start to drift out of northern ireland, improving here into central scotland. the far north and east of scotland will stay largely fine and dry with some showers, but a north—easterly wind will make it feel noticeably colder. temperatures a good ten degrees down on where they are further south. so that low pulls away, another one is going to replace it on thursday, and then another significant low waiting in the wings for the start of the weekend. so on thursday, as that cloud and rain pushes its way steadily north through the night, it
12:57 am
will be a mild start to thursday morning. we'll see showery outbreaks of rain pushing their way steadily eastwards throughout the day, so hopefully a slow improvement. but here's the next system already starting to show its hand across cornwall and south wales by the end of the day. ahead of it, with some brightness, we'll see highs of 16 degrees. but that north—easterly wind once again pegging those temperatures back — in aberdeenshire, a high of just 16. then, as we move towards the end of the week, this low could bring some very windy weatherfor a time, gales on exposed coasts, a spell of heavy rain moving its way steadily north. and it's this that will tap into that pretty mild air all the way down from the south—west, starting to push its way across scotland now as well. but don't expect anything prolonged, settled and sunny. there will continue to be showers, longer spells of rain. windy but warm.
