every ten years or so it gets enough energy to flower and in a couple of months it will completely die back again and look as lifeless as it did to begin with. once the flowers have faded, it will fruit, and later this year alberto will collect the seeds so visitors will be able to see the next generation of puya alpestri in the nursery in the future. it's just so unusual and rare to see it. it doesn't really matter how many times you see it, it's just great. phil mackie, bbc news, birmingham. time for a look at the weather. here's darren bett. last weekend we had our warmest weather so far and across other parts of europe, temperature records were broken. a colder air has slipped in across many parts of europe and at home we have the risk of frost at night in the next couple

of frost at night in the next couple of nights. it is not quite as windy but it is still cold and some of the driest weather is likely to be across central and southern parts of scotland. we haven't got the same level of instability and depth of cloud but some sharp showers around and the risk of some hail and thunder. cloud and showers across eastern england and moving into the north sea. a stream of showers will continue to affect large parts of england and wales, a few for northern ireland and the showers in northern scotland will be wintry over the hills. it will feel cold out there despite sunshine between showers and we could make 12 degrees in the central belt and 14 in sheltered and southern parts of wales. showers around to end the day across england and wales. they will fade away and the band of showers will push down from scotland across northern england and wales and further wintry showers in north—east scotland overnight. clear skies and the winds continue to fall lighter so it will be cold. the risk of frost may for northern england and

scotland. more cloud coming in from the atlantic tomorrow and that will bring patchy rain into northern ireland and later in the day into west wales. otherwise we are still in the cold and showery air stream. scattered showers develop and one or two could be heavy but not as bad as yesterday. not as windy either, but it is still cold air. to generally across the uk maximum temperatures will be 10 degrees. we've got the cloud in the west on the weakening weather front moving away. rotating around this high pressure but another weather system coming into the north as we head into thursday. with clearer skies unlike winds for england and wales, this is where we have the lowest temperatures and they could be a pinch of frost. more cloud for scotland and northern ireland, patchy rain and the worse of the rain probably across western scotland over the hills and some of the rain pushes into northern england. pushing cloud southwards sunshine lingers in the south—west of england. temperature is a bit higher, the air is less cold so we

have 11 to 14 degrees. the weather system will take rain away overnight and during friday and then we get one of these at long last, high—pressure building towards the uk. just in time for the weekend. it means we will have some much—needed, drier weather on the way under could be cloudy but it's not going to be as warm as it last weekend. thanks, darren. and that's bbc news at one. you can keep up with all the latest developments on the bbc website. now it's time to join our colleagues for the news where you are. goodbye. hello and welcome to sportsday. i'm jane dougall. they have the advantage in the premier league title race, but can manchester city keep hold of the champions league as well as they prepare to face real madrid? we hear from adam peaty on the day he is named in the gb swimming squad for this summer's olympic games in paris. and ahead of the games, the olympic flame is lit in athens,

where it all began. welcome to sportsday. well, the first leg certainly lived up to the hype. now manchester city and real madrid are preparing to meet once again for the return fixture in their champions league quarterfinal at the etihad on wednesday night. after an evening that contained more than one spectacular strike at the bernabeu, the team's are tied at 3—3 — the reward for wednesday's winner will be a semifinal against either arsenal or bayern munich. for manchester city, there is a chance for the trouble. we for manchester city, there is a chance for the trouble.- for manchester city, there is a chance for the trouble. we are far from that hypothetical _ chance for the trouble. we are far from that hypothetical dream. - chance for the trouble. we are far from that hypothetical dream. we chance for the trouble. we are far -

from that hypothetical dream. we are in the final of the fa cup, one or two games, five points. we are in the final... i will start to think about it. before the game against madrid, you saw how strong chelsea are, it is to point difference. when i was two points down, arsenal and liverpool, i was thinking it is not over. now we are two in front, it is not over. it is the same feeling when we draw with arsenal and people say no chance, the computer. when the computer says you have a chance, nothing changes. six games, a lot of difficult games. it is one game at a time. well, barcelona will be hoping to make it to the semi—finals for the first time since 2019 when they face paris saint—germain tonight. xavi's side have a narrow advantage,

they take a 3—2 lead into the second leg. borussia dortmund play atletico madrid in tonight's other tie, the spanish club are 2—1 up on aggregate after the first leg. harry kane scored a penalty for bayern in the first leg and he's been speaking to the media today. his first season at the german club will finish without a bundesliga trophy after bayer leverkusen won the title at the weekend, ending an 11 year dominance by bayern munich. it's been a disappointing season for us in the league. credit and congratulations to q is in this season. we are an honest group and we've not reach the standards we need to as a team, which may be in the champions league we have had some better performances. for me personally, it's about helping the team in every situation, whether in the league or champions league. we have a great opportunity tomorrow night in front of our fans to keep

the season alive and keep some hope amongst the fans and hope we can achieve something special, even though it's not been the greatest season. in scotland, the dundee rangers match will go ahead at dens park tommorrow night after twice being postponed. the premiership match should have taken place in march, but twice had to be re—arranged because the pitch was waterlogged. earlier today dens park passed an inspection ahead of tomorrows match. stjohnstone's mcdiarmid park had been on standby if it was unplayable. andy murray will not have surgery on an ankle injury suffered last month but doesn't have a date for his return. murray ruptured ankle ligaments at the miami open and no timescale has been given for his comeback. britain's former world number one

has previously said he does not plan to "play much past this summer". a big moment forfans of this man — rafael nadal — who makes his return to the clay at the barcelona open. the 22 time grand slam champion confirmed his participation, having pulled out of this year's australian open injanuary with a hip injury, and missing atp events at indian wells and monte carlo. nadal — who's dropped to world number 644, will take on italian flavio cobolli in his first match on clay since winning the french open two years ago. however, he wouldn't be drawn on whether he'd make this yea r�*s roland garros. england all—rounder nat sciver—brunt and australia captain pat cummins have been named as the leading cricketers in the world by wisden. sciver—brunt becomes the first english woman to be given the honour. she made three centuries in five one—day internationals, including two in three days during the ashes and another off just 66 balls against sri lanka. with almost 100 days to go until the games in paris, the olympic flame has been lit in athens. the ceremony took place in greece's ancient olympia,

where the first olympic games were held in 776 bc. the flame was handed to the first torchbearer — gold medallist at the tokyo olympics, greek rower stefanos douskos. it starts an international torch relay, travelling through greece, france, and french overseas territories, before ending at the paris olympic games. well, staying with the olympics, adam peaty is one of a 33—strong team across pool and marathon swimming who will represent team gb this summer in paris. the five—time olympic medallist has made a come—back to swimming after taking time out from the sport to tackle his personal issues. he's been named as part of the squad this morning and he credits part of his return to re—discovering his faith and the church. he's been speaking tojo currie. back to his best and with gold in his sights once more. this guy is phenomenal! adam peaty will head to paris this summer

and put it all on the line to seal his place in history. i've got nothing left to prove. i've done everything in the sport i wanted to do. but now it's how can i do something not many people have done? the only other male to do it is michael phelps. you know, over the whole history of the olympics, it's unheard of to do three in a row _ the 29—year—old is already double olympic champion in the 100 metres breaststroke, but after hitting a self—destructive spiral it took for him to rediscover his faith in god to rediscover his faith in the pool. it was tough to come out of it. i was ready to walk away. it wasn't

until i went back to church, a community that is there no matter what, and people from all walks of life, all parts. it put it into perspective and i feel at home. there's not many places on earth i feel home and warm and welcomed, and i can understand not only to be a better athlete but better father, better athlete but better father, better partner and friend or family. that is what it is about. how better partner and friend or family. that is what it is about.— that is what it is about. how does it work on — that is what it is about. how does it work on a _ that is what it is about. how does it work on a daily _ that is what it is about. how does it work on a daily basis _ that is what it is about. how does it work on a daily basis in - that is what it is about. how does it work on a daily basis in terms i that is what it is about. how does | it work on a daily basis in terms of going to church and fitting it in? you still make mistakes as you aren't perfect, no one is. i think it is that kind of agreement with yourself that you kind of... a few years ago, i would act a certain way, my behaviour was out of line and your ego would support it. it doesn't matter. but now if my behaviour is out of line, i check in

with myself and i check in with my bible, things which keep me grounded, people at church. it is hard. you still have moments where it is incredibly difficult and you want to get angry, and i still need that person in the arena. how can i be peaceful and a fighter who needs to go to walk? i'm still working it out, still learning. the to go to walk? i'm still working it out, still learning.— out, still learning. the paris olympics — out, still learning. the paris olympics are _ out, still learning. the paris olympics are just _ out, still learning. the paris olympics are just three - out, still learning. the paris i olympics are just three months out, still learning. the paris - olympics are just three months away, but could one more gold medal tempt him to stay on to the games in four years' time? him to stay on to the games in four years' time?— years' time? when i lose, i've already won — years' time? when i lose, i've already won because - years' time? when i lose, i've already won because i - years' time? when i lose, i've already won because i have i years' time? when i lose, i'vej already won because i have so years' time? when i lose, i've - already won because i have so much to be grateful for, already won because i have so much to be gratefulfor, i'm highly blessed. who knows, la 2028 is on the horizon for so many athletes. i would be a fool to write it off, but it is a long time, i can't even
