totte n ha m it is game on at wembley and tottenham have the advantage of the two away goals. i can't praise totte n ha m two away goals. i can't praise tottenham hotspur in. they are playing a juventus team that haven't conceded a goal in a long time. there's only one vacancy that in the last 15 games. 2—0 down in nine minutes. a fantastic fightback. the italians got off to a fantastic start. a really good call early in the game. less than two minutes had gone. then the same player made it 2-0 gone. then the same player made it 2—0 from the penalty spot. it looked all over the tottenham at that stage but they showed real character. who else but hurricane scored his 33rd of the season. —— harry kane. then juventus made it 3—1. tottenham again played some superb put all in the second half and superbly deserve there it lies. you have to make totte n ha m there it lies. you have to make tottenham the slight favourites now

to go through to the quarter—finals. juventus have the experience of the champions league and tottenham and have the advantage with the two away goals. it was a good night for both english sides in action as premier league leders manchester city travelled to face basle. city took command of the last—16 first—leg tie within half an hour in switzerland as ilkay gundogan, bernardo silva and sergio aguero all scored within a nine—minute period. german gundogan added a fourth after the break and the manager was understandably thrilled with the result. it's an amazing result. we are almost in the champions league, we are almost there. i'm not saying it's already done because offcourse football happens. it's like this. in the first ten minutes we could go to zero down and after 15 or 20 minutes we could go 3—0, 0—3. so we did this" well. the long balls. but we

we re this" well. the long balls. but we were clinical today. marcel hirscher has underlined his status as the best skier of his generation after winning a long—overdue olympic gold. the austrian, regarded as one of the all—time greats in the sport, won the men's combined event in pyeongchang. elsewhere, 17 year old chloe kim produced a brilliant performance to take gold in the women's halfpipe. tim hague reports. there's not much that marcel hirscher hasn't won, at an olympic gold medal is one of them. with 55 world cup race wins to his name, he played down the importance of winning here. the 28—year—old was well placed for a medal after the downhill and clinched victory with the fastest time in the slalem. back in austria house the relief was clear. it is the colour he admits he a lwa ys clear. it is the colour he admits he always dream doll. it is perfect to

have this last big goal, to have this right now in my pocket. 0r better it hangs around my neck. the only, or not the only — the other good thing is the always pretty boring question is now it is over with, this last boring question. is your career perfect without a gold medal? this is what the media were a lwa ys medal? this is what the media were always asking me and now it is easier because now just always asking me and now it is easier because nowjust good questions are allowed. chloe kim was already celebrating before herfinal run in the halfpipe. with gold secured, the american born the south korean parents put on a snowboarding masterclass. despite her rage, she has dominated the sport in recent times and the 17—year—old won with a score of 98.25. a favourite with the

home fans, she is fast becoming one of the stars of these games. let's take a look at where the other gold medals were won on day four. germany celebrated a one—two in the women's luge, with natalie geisenberger beating diana eitberger to retain her 0lympic title. germany now top the medal table with five golds. in speed skating, the dutch also claimed a one—two in the men's i,500m through kjeld nouse and patrick roost. italy are off the mark, their first gold of the games came from arianna fontana in the 500m women's short—track speed skating. stina nilsson won the women's cross country sprint classic for sweden. in the men's event, johannes klarbo of norway won gold on his 0lympic debut. and canada were crowned the first 0lympics mixed doubles curling champions, claiming gold with a 10—3 blowout win over world champions switzerland. there are six golds up for grabs on wednesday and it's underway.

0ne event to keep an eye on is the men's halfpipe, which is underway. in the first run the american shaun white is going for a third 0lympic title. as ever you can find all the details on our website — just go to bbc.com/sport. india have won the fifth one day international against south africa in port elizabeth by 73 runs to take a 4—1 lead with one match to play. the hosts won the toss and elected to bowl but a rohit sharma century helped india build a score of 274. in reply, the proteas never really got going despite hashim amla's 71 and kuldeep yadav took figures of 4 for 57 to lead his side to victory with the final match in centurion on friday. i think after 25 years we won the series in south africa. it's not the easiest place to play cricket and definitely not the easiest place to

win the series. so i think a lot of credit to the boys. i think everybody who got an opportunity put their hand up and took up the challenge. if you look at the entire series until now, i think it was a dominant performance from us. tiger woods is looking forward to getting back to the level where he's competing with players like rory mcilroy as he continues his comeback. the former world number one makes his second start after a year out with a back injury when he competes in this week's genesis open in california. the 42—year—old, a 14—time major winner, has been praising the northern irishman and those surrounding him. he isjust a great kid, he really is. he has a heart of gold. his dad is. he has a heart of gold. his dad is just fantastic and mum is wonderful. sojust a great is just fantastic and mum is wonderful. so just a great family andi wonderful. so just a great family and i love playing with rory over the years. we haven't played as much as we would like. you know, a lot of

that's me, because i got hurt and didn't play. but he's obviously gotten a lot better and has worked on his game and won tournaments now, so on his game and won tournaments now, so rory has always been fun to play with and will continue to be and he is one of the players when he gets it going there aren't a lot of guys better than him. sta n stan wawrinka has been knocked out of the world tennis tournament by a player from the netherlands. of the world tennis tournament by a playerfrom the netherlands. the match was going to plan for the swiss, also a three—time grandslam winner. he won the opening set by the 21—year—old dutch wild card, ranked 259 in the world, broke stan wawrinka in the second game of the second set. it is his first ever atp victory at this level. my my first match of the year coming back from injury, so i was struggling a little bit from the beginning, but i don't even know how idid it. beginning, but i don't even know how i did it. i was expecting a tough match. i know he is a talented

player. a big player, serving well. i watched some of the video when he was playing before. i think today he played really well and show that he has great potential and was playing great. in cycling, mark cavendish was pipped in the tour of oman. the opening stage saw the riders travelling through wonderful scenery. travelling through wonderful scenery. as the peloton wielding with about 11 kilometres remaining the frenchman took the stage ahead of mark cavendish, meaning he will have a four second overall lead and of course the red jersey into wednesday's second stage. just a bit of basketball. we miami heat are playing we raptors. the ra ptors a re

heat are playing we raptors. the raptors are leading and the clevela nd raptors are leading and the cleveland cavaliers are looking to make it four wins in a row. had a victory over the boston celtics on sunday. it is now 36 points apiece. oklahoma city are playing the thunder as well. goodbye for now. hello once again, thanks very much indeed forjoining me. it's time we updated you on the weather prospects for the whole of the british isles and this will take us right through the next few days, on into the weekend. hmm, tuesday, a bit of a mixed bag to say the least. wet in the south, snow further north but once the snow cleared it ended up being a really glorious afternoon and a spectacular one across the isle of lewis. if you thought that's a bit ancient history, that's the band of weather that brought us the rain on tuesday, here's the next great event looming with intent in the western side of the british isles. ahead of it it's quite important

to tell you with these clear skies the temperatures will have dipped away. once we start bringing the weather elements together, we've got the cold weather in place, in comes the moisture from the atlantic so no great surprise if i tell you that after a bright enough start for central and eastern parts, in comes this weather front from the atlantic and because we're pushing all that moisture into that cold air, anywhere really from the north midlands and north of wales northwards, that's where we're going to see significant snowfall, especially but not exclusively on the higher ground. you'll see here, north—west highlands, 7—12 centimetres, even on the southern uplands, getting over beattock summit perhaps on the m74, you could be looking at several centimetres of snow. top end of the pennines as well and even a wee bit further south there's just the chance that as that weather front keeps journeying ever further eastwards and it comes up over salisbury plain, the chilterns, i wouldn't be surprised if you told me you saw something just a wee bit wintry about proceedeings there. i don't think it's going to amount to a whole can of beans in the south but they will be significant

depths further north. 5—8 will cover it for many, a wee bit milder out to the west, ten or 11 here perhaps. that weather system eventually pushes through. low pressure still dominating the scene in many parts of the british isles for thursday. quite a few isobars on that chart so the wind will be a noticeable feature of the day on thursday. but having said that, you know what, in many areas it's going to be a decent day. in eastern scotland and much of england and wales, dry, fine and sunny and temperatures in double figures across the south. there will be more showers in western scotland and northern ireland as well. as we go from thursday pushing towards the end of the week, see this ridge of high pressure just beginning to build in here, trying to dominate the scene, at least across the southern half

of the british isles. but for northern ireland, for the north and west of scotland, there's still the chance of some showers but in the south there's dry weather and a bit of warmth. welcome to bbc news — broadcasting to viewers in north america and around the globe. my name is mike embley. our top stories: israeli police say prime minister benjamin netanyahu should be charged with corruption — he says the allegations are baseless. us intelligence chiefs say moscow's election meddling isn't over. and they warn congress about the ongoing cyber threat. putting pressure on south africa's president. jacob zuma clings to office, as his own party calls for him to go. and can these canine casanovas find love and a new home on valentine's day?
