1:46 am
on an incredible match. it looked as though psg had saved it after an awful first half. edinson cavani's goal to make it 3—1. it looked as though things were over. things calmed down, that a frantic end to the game. a wonderful freekick for neymar, a penalty for neymar, a questionable decision, it looks like luis suarez dived, and then at the end, even the goalkeeper pushed forward into the penalty area, it was knocked in by neymar, and the unlikely hero, roberto, the substitute, just stayed on side and scored one of the most famous goals in barcelona history. wonderful night for barcelona. psg, well, one of the lowest points, the manager will be so, so disappointed after
1:47 am
this. wonderful night football but psg, against all the odds, heading out. it was pandemonium in the stadium. you can imagine the reaction in spain will be very different to the reaction in france. this comes a week after enrique nlc was leaving barcelona, since then they have 15—0 and now psg 6—1. a wonderful night for him. he only has a few weeks left. on the other hand serious questions about psg —— 5—0. he was brought in to bring success, winning the europa league with sevilla three seasons in a row. he was brought in, i think he could have been forgiven losing against barcelona had it not been this comeback, 4—0 up in the first leg, they should have coasted through. he got his tactics totally wrong. manchester city wasted the chance to regain second spot

disappointed" with the decision handed down by the football association. mings has said that he didn't intentionally make contact with the united's striker‘s head just before half time. a few minutes later, ibrahimovich retaliated by elbowing mings in the head. the swede has accepted a violent conduct charge and been banned for three matches. the europa league is back on thursday, with one of the tournament favourites manchester united travelling to russian side rostov. and there are some severe question marks over the pitch. looking a little short on grass there. and you probably won't be surprised to hear that the united manager jose mourinho isn't particularly pleased with it. it is still hard to me to believe that we are going to play tomorrow. i know that we have to bite it is
1:50 am
ha rd i know that we have to bite it is hard for me to believe that we are going to play tomorrow... on that field, if you can call it a field. and i don't know which team to play, really. the argentine football association says the players‘ strike is over and the league will resume. the first division championship had been scheduled to restart a month ago but was held up over financial issues. the players called a strike because many, especially in the lower divisions, were owed up to five months‘ salaries. it's day two of the first test between new zealand and south africa in dunedin. there just getting going again after lunch. south africa began the day on 224 for four but lost four wickets in the morning session and were all out for 308 shortly after lunch. in reply, new zealand are 22—1.

to russia's anti—doping system are not happening fast enough. we've given russia a very clear roadmap as to what they need to do and the ball now is in their camp. they have to do a number of reforms to ensure independence of the russian anti—doping agency. and its ongoing. it's not happening at the speed i would have liked to see it. but it is happening. and, you know, i hope this is going in the right direction. i take mr putin's comment from last week, acknowledging the problem, indicating that they would follow the recommendation from wada as being very encouraging, because, in my view, this would probably set the right mind of many people in russia to go into that direction. former world heavyweight champion david haye has said he'll pay whatever fine he has to after admitting his conduct
1:53 am
in the build up to his fight with tony bellew was inappropriate. haye lost in ii brutal rounds and has been speaking to the bbc‘s natalie pirks. we say what we say at the time and i am surei we say what we say at the time and i am sure i will have to pay some sort of fine at some stage from the british board of control because some of the comments went too far and ifi some of the comments went too far and if i have to pay the fine i will happily pay a fine. but when you get into that beast mode before the fight you're not thinking about political correctness, you are not thinking about fines, you are thinking about fines, you are thinking about fines, you are thinking about getting into the ring, and it is a dog could sometimes, and it is not a fun place to be. —— dog pit. julian alaphilippe has won the fourth stage of the paris nice race and with it takes the overall lead. the quick step rider finished 19 seconds ahead of spain's alberto contador in the 14.5 kilometre time trial that ended with a climb over the beaujolais vineyards tony gallopin came third on the day and is up to second

that much in the way of sunshine. favoured spots were northern ireland and northern england. a beautiful weather watchers picture sent in from york, with the daffodils shining brightly. and despite the crocus full bloom, though, in the south—east corner, there was quite a lot of cloud around. despite this, temperatures peaked at 15 degrees, so it was a mild, albeit dull, day. and at times there were showery outbreaks of rain. thick enough for this cloud across southern england. showers continuing up into the far north and they will continue through the night tonight. at the same time our weather front to the south slowly drifts up into the near continent, but it takes its time in doing so. so all that basically means we keep the cloud and we keep some drizzle to the south of the m4 corridor. some soor visibility, some coastal and some hill fog. a few sharp showers continuing into the far north of scotland. here it will be chilly enough for a touch of snow to the tops of the mountains, but mild down into the south. but we start off on a drab, dull,

damp note again across the isles of scilly and the foot of cornwall. here it's likely to stay disappointing all day. there will be a little bit of cloud around the south, but that should start to break up as we go through the day. largely dry with some sunshine through much of wales and central and northern england. a beautiful morning into northern ireland as well. a scattering of showers continue into scotland first thing in the morning. some of these showers should ease a touch into the afternoon, but it's still driven along by that brisk breeze here. further south, cloud will continue to break up and we have sunshine coming through. we'll see some sunshine coming through. cornwall may stay disappointing, along with the channel isles. temperatures responding with the sunshine. a beautiful spring day for many. 9—15 degrees. some could see highs of 16 degrees, that's 61 fahrenheit. as we go through thursday night into friday, eastern areas could see a touch of light frost under clearer skies. at the same time the cloud gathers to the west. a change to come as
