a double within ten minutes right i'm still in then how does brace ten minutes later as five goals were scored in the space of twenty one minutes and with two more in the second half the end of the match was even more dramatic a city pressed for a win a stirling thought he'd done it in the ninety third minute but the video assistant referee. where i was offside in the lead up so manchester city winning four three on the night but spurs are into the seventies thanks to a way goals the other game not quite as dramatic not that liverpool minds that were still goals aplenty liverpool won four one outsports thanks to last week's victories and failed they go through six one aggregate. those results mean liverpool will be heading to the new camp for the first leg of the semifinals against barcelona on april thirtieth while tottenham will take home advantage for that tie against i.x. . have blown their third chance in

a row to claim the french championship the three two loss to a lowly north's team comes on the back of a draw to strasbourg and their worst defeat in almost two decades five one against lille but p.s.g. still have six games left to get the one point they need to claim their eighth league title as a tennis player who exposed much fixing along his fellow professional says he's received no backing from the sports authorities and has been alienated by other players on the tour marco from galaxy has moved to dora from his native argentina after angering the tennis community in his home and he says the tennis integrity unit that he reported to has done nothing to help him with the backlash some of his fellow pros are now banned after he revealed approaches made to him by much fixes offering tens of thousands of dollars to fix contests if you are weak mentally then you go in you are for sure because it is the money.

. funerals in tripoli as the u.n. warns that the shelling of the city may be a war crime. and peruse former president alan garcia has died of an apparent suicide just ahead of his arrest in a corruption case. on north korean state media is reporting that kim jong un has overseen a test or launch of a new tactical guided weapon the north korean leader has called as an event a very weighty significance this is the country's first public weapons test since the one noyce summit ended in february without an agreement well al jazeera is robert pride is following the story and he joins us now live from seoul just what do we know about this new weapon. this test apparently took place yesterday wednesday in an undisclosed location in north korea as you mentioned there it's

been described as a guided weapon system a tactical weapon system which is presumably some sort of battlefield system as opposed to the kind of missiles that we saw being launched more than a year ago it's certainly not being seen as a ballistic missile test that's the important thing the distinction to make here but it is important coming after the had always summit the failure to reach an agreement with the u.s. and also significantly taken place the day after another visit by kim jong un to a military airfield where apparently he saw the north korea's air force in action north korea often sends signals through these field visits by kim jong un in recent times of course with the focus being on the development of the peaceful development of the economy we have been used to seeing kim jong un touring factories and the like so it is significant seeing two military oriented military style visits in the

same week and it could well be the north korean sending a message to the united states that kim jong un warned in a speech last week their patience will will run out eventually they have given the united states until the end of the year to come back with what they describe as serious negotiations basically the lifting of sanctions or this is a reminder that they could return effectively to their old ways. and rather as you say there's been talk of a third son that between trumpington before the end of the year could any of this change any of that. that's right i mean it does seem as though there is still mileage left in the on the diplomatic front still talk of a possibly a nother. trump and kim summit as you mentioned there that will be a third meeting both sides have said they are open to that and of course we also have the possibility of a summit meeting between moon j.n.

of south korea and kim jong un and there's a little specks speculation at the moment of course that there might be a meeting next week in the eastern russian city of light of astarte between putin of russia that would be a first for north korea so it certainly seems as though there is still a lot of mileage left in the diplomatic process is that all going on out of course the north koreans know that while they can do these kind of battlefield weapons tests if they launched a ballistic missile that would jeopardize all of that does it out of there as rob right there insult for us thank you rob well mark fitzpatrick is a nonproliferation expert and a former u.s. state department official he says this new weapon could affect north korea's relationship with the united states it's almost certainly not a new long range missile if it was it would be highly provocative and would derail

the engagement process with the united states and maybe we're talking you know it's a it's a tactical weapon it's not a missile apparently north korea is maybe exaggerating a bit its newness in order to get america's attention that's what this is all about there could have been some deal in hanoi and the united states by going going big as they put it made sure there wasn't any deal and kim jong un would like president trump to think again about getting some kind of a deal that would be in both countries benefit. the latest reports from yongbyon indicate that north korea is reprocessing the plutonium that is getting the plutonium from the reactor able to be used in a nuclear weapon plutonium is one of the key substances for atomic bombs and they have been also producing highly enriched uranium throughout the last couple of years so they're continuing on both paths to

a nuclear weapon increasing both plutonium and highly enriched uranium and as talks get nowhere their arsenal continues to increase. well ensued on there are reports that ousted president bashir has been sent to the country's most notorious jail the shia had been kept at the presidential residence since being forced from power by the army last week but he's now been moved to the maximum security code prison the minute she says two brothers of the shia have also been detained as part of a campaign of arrests against what they call symbols of the previous regime but protesters say they want proof bashir is in jail reports. so dunn's former president or model bashir is reported to have been moved from house arrest to a maximum security prison. protesters on khartoum streets welcomed the news. but then the months go much further we are so much happy to hear that the president has been to prison. what we really want to see we
