are winless over five games in all competitions, has said he would review the defeat in a harsh way. it was not good enough for us. we had to win the game and on the other hand, we changed and they did not concede. i believe that we made many m ista kes concede. i believe that we made many mistakes and that is what we paid. —— paid for. in spain's primera division barcelona came from 2—0 down at real sociedad to win 11—2 and reassert their 9 point lead at the top. the hosts were on course for a shock victory after finiding the net twice in the first half. but first, paulinho gave them hope when luis suarez set him up before the uruguayan himself got a double to put them in front. and then a lionel messi free—kick five minutes from the end completed the comeback. elsewhere, sevilla missed the chance to draw level with 11th placed real madrid after they lost 1—0

jiang in the opening match. jiang leads. kevin anderson and kyle edmund are one apiece as well. until next time, by by. hello. after a fairly quiet spell of weather, there is a lot of weather coming our way over the next few days. it starts with wet and windy fare, and then we really get into the week, which will be much colder. there'll be some snow in the forecast, and it'll be a good deal windier than was the past week. as i say, it starts off on a wet and windy note. nowhere more so than if you happen to be close to this weather front, as it starts the day across the south—eastern quarter of the british isles, gradually easing its wayjust a little bit further towards the south and east. but, just in time for the school run and the commute, there is a lot of wet and windy weather to be had, all the way from sort

of lincolnshire and east anglia, down through the south and east midlands, down into the south—east itself, parts of the west country. and, even once the persistent rain has gone, there is a great raft of showers following on behind. some of these quite heavy, prolonged, and they may well be thundery, as well. further north, away from that front, there is a chance of seeing a little bit of sunshine. but there is also quite a chance, as you see, of seeing quite a bit of shower activity, and increasingly through the day, as cold air begins to tuck in, so i think we'll find those showers turning a bit more wintry across northern and western parts of scotland. it takes until the early afternoon before we see the last of that wet and windy weather getting away from the far south—east. then the brighter skies follow on. things don't turn wintry immediately across the southern half of the british isles, because the temperatures are still around nine or 10 degrees. but through the evening and overnight, so colder weather begins to really tuck in across the top two thirds of the british isles, and eventually, over the next few days, all of us get into that much colder regime, exacerbated

by the strength of the westerly wind. so here we are on tuesday. and you notice here, certainly across the northern half of britain, and increasingly down through the high ground of wales, maybe into the moors of the south—west, there is a wintry flavour to the showers. and the snow totals begin to mount up across the pennines, the high ground of scotland and northern ireland. and, giving the strength of the wind, that is how cold it will feel across all parts of the british isles by that stage. and there really is no change, as i take you on into wednesday, and then there is a change. not sure exactly where this low is going to go, but certainly on its northern flank, there will be a spell of more prolonged wintry weather. there will be significant snow, and some pretty strong winds, as well. once that centre pulls away, and as i say, you have to bear with us, because we're not exactly sure where that centre is going to be, those north—westerlies will be very strong in their own right. and then, once that system is away, we're back to where we pretty much started, with wintry showers, especially across northern and western parts of the british isles. welcome to bbc news,
