2:45 am
we'll bring you the reason why. hello. thanks forjoining us. 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, three points ahead of luton. it is forest's biggest home victory of the season. we will keep in season, we will 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. and how much of a difference will it make now, heading into spurs, with a win under the belt and momentum, after four points in back—to—back games? it is important, but it cannot distract us because we have a long way to go, and we have experienced before, we had good moments in a game and then the next were not able to sustain it, so this is the message for the next one, let's try and sustain our levels of performance. 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 1—1. look, i mean, thisjob was not a walk in the park when i got here, it is still not, there is a long way to go but there's a lot of steps we're making in the right
2:47 am
direction, and i think that is important to rememberfor me. i do remember it, i do take pride in what they're doing and i do equally know we're more capable of wins and results. 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 1—1 draw at the london stadium. brendanjohnson gave spurs the 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 that the belief was there when we didn't win, and when we didn't get points. this is just the cherry on the cake and we will keep going for that. it is not necessarily everybody thinking about the next eight or seven games, its notjust that, it's about who you are as a club. burnley in its core has always been a fighting club. it has never been easy for us. we keep going.
2:48 am
so west ham and tottenham with a 1—1 draw at london stadium. not to be, for spurs, and for them, they stay two points behind aston villa in fourth place. here are all of tuesday's results. bournemouth saw off crystal palace on the other match. you can get full reports on all the games of course on the bbc sport website. with three of the bottom five in action, what has that done in the battle to avoid relegation? forest edge three points clear of luton. they are at arsenal tomorrow. burnley remain in deep trouble, despite picking up a point against wolves. attention turns to the top of the table on wednesday, with leaders arsenal and third placed manchester city both in action. the two sides battled out a goalless draw at the etihad stadium on sunday.
2:49 am
after the match, the city manager pep guardiola had an animated discussion with jack grealish, who had come on for the last half an hour to try and break the deadlock. ahead of their match against aston villa, grealish's former club, guardiola was told why he chose to remonstrate with his player so publicly, and he gave a somewhat tongue—in—cheek answer. i am the famous person of the team, and i don't recognise, and i need the camera to my ego, go to sleep with incredible satisfaction, so that is the reason why. always i try to criticise the players there and let them feel how bad they are, and especially when erling has 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 and it will not be a problem. there was also plenty of cup semifinal action across europe. kaiserslautern have reached the final of the dfb cup for the first time
2:50 am
in germany since 2003, after a victory over saarbrucken. the latter had beaten bayern munich in the way. kaiserslautern will face the winner of the second semifinal between xavi alonso�*s bayer leverkusen and fortuna dusseldorf. in the coppa italia, iii—time winners juventus will take a 2—0 lead into the second leg of their semifinal tie against lazio. chiesa and vlahovic scored in the second half, just a second win forjuve in the last ten matches. the second leg is in three weeks�* time and the winner will play either fiorentina or atalanta in may's final. while the first semifinal of the coupe de france, lyon are through to a first final since 2012. they will face either record iii—time winners psg, or rennes, who are facing each other on wednesday in the second semifinal. on to tennis. danielle collins brushed aside paolo badosa,
2:51 am
beating her in straight sets in south carolina. now ranked at a career—high 22 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 in morocco with a 6—2, 6—1win over sixth seed kazakhstan, alex shevchenko. just a second tour event of the year for the italian, who had a foot injury. he needed an hour and 15 minutes to set up a clash with world number 135. stan wawrinka won this event 1a years ago and he was a straight sets win over spain's albert ramos—vinolas. the 39—year—old swiss a three—time grand slam now
2:52 am
faces the seventh seed. on to cricket, england all—rounder ben stokes has asked to not be considered for selection for the 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. here is the reaction of the england and wales cricket board ceo, richard gould. adam peaty won the 100 metres breaststroke final on the first day of the aquatics gb swimming championships in london. it means he has qualified for the summer olympics in paris. peaty left the other is trailing in his wake to come home in under 58 seconds, the fastest time this year. he is aiming to win a third successive breaststroke gold medal at the forthcoming games in paris. this morning, i was like actually so grateful that i'm back here and i didn't give up,
2:53 am
and i think that's a message to a lot of young people in the crowd today, that i have not had a pb in like five years or something. it is the hope every day, and it is a great thing to race all the british swimmers as well, but we are coming back and i'm happy with that. climbing was a big hit when it made its 0lympic debut in tokyo. great britain's most decorated climber took part in the women's event. this year, teenager toby roberts is set to become the first british male climber to compete at the games. he's been called a teenage climbing sensation, and in 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? at an after—school club. i was just eight years old and my science teacher sort of egged me on to give it a go and i went there, i absolutely loved it, i found it so addicting, and i was just hooked
2:54 am
from that point. i started, my parents weren�*t climbers, i had no idea about climbing, ijust kept going to the climbing wall, kept enjoying it and then slowly started progressing to find myself here, having just qualified for paris, it feels incredibly incredible. what are your top tips as a beginner? using your body to get up and notjust pulling as hard as you can, so trying to turn your body into the wall, to use less strength and more technique to get up. close by is dad and coach, tristian, who tells us what the last ten years have ben lake. what the last ten years have been like. it's easy now because he is 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 a 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 at that stage, it is honestlyjust
2:55 am
an incredible achievement, and we are amazingly proud of it. and olympic gold would be nice. my sights are set on that, but i think the way i get that is by forgetting about the olympic medal and thenjust going and climbing. it looks tough, doesn�*t it? you can get all the latest sports news at the bbc sport website, or on the app, but from me and the rest of the sport team, until next time, bye—bye. 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 time of year in that area.
2:56 am
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
2:57 am
the night, it 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 ofjust 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.
