ha rd thoroughly merited. we worked really hard for this. there was a lot of learning that went into this game andi learning that went into this game and i can honestly say that today we played very well with great teamwork. i am very happy, everybody played their role and that was very important this evening. a huge result in portugal with liverpool winning five mil. effectively, liverpool are into the quarter—finals already and i did not see this coming because porto came into this game in fantastic form. they are two points clear of them feature, but liverpool were superb. it was that great front three that all scored a. sadio mane scored a hat—trick mohamed salah also on the scoresheet, mohamed salah scoring his 30th goal in all competitions this season. not missing coutinho at

all. and roberto firmino as well, he doesn't get enough credit, getting the back of the net as well. give credit to liverpool, what a position they are in our study they can rest players in the second leg. we scored fantastic goals in the right moment, the first goal, a counter pressing situation, winning the ball back. a really fantastic strike and always there for the rebound. the third goal, outstanding counter—attack. that is important, we scored the goals, they didn't score, we had much more chances. because we defended well. day 5 of the winter olympics was all about shaun white. eight years after his last gold medal, and following disappointment in sochi in 2014, the american dug deep in the men's halfpipe snowboarding in pyeongchang, to win his third olympic gold medal. austin halewood reports. a feeling no one has experienced

before. sean wight of america winning a third snowboard gold, but this one didn't come without a fight. the american cruised into the lead with his first run, a big air and big tricks catapulting him into gold—medal position. that was where he was expected to stay until a japanese contender‘s final run, which definitely wasn't in the script. unprecedented back—to—back 1440's forced the japanese star into the top spot. but the greatest adversaries can often bring out the greatest in competitors. never before put under this pressure, he would need a run of his life to take gold and he found it to. combinations of such audacity that both the crowd and his rivals were left breathless. i am sure that you can tell by my reaction is that this made the world to me —— meant the
1:50 am
world to me. and my family and my tea m world to me. and my family and my team andi world to me. and my family and my team and i am here doing it for usa again, not only being an olympian again, not only being an olympian again but to be a gold—medallist again but to be a gold—medallist again is unreal. we were all watching sean win and i definitely caught the bug. it was really inspiring and for me it was like 0k, the buyer is set now we need to see if we can match it. he has published everything he set out to in the winter games, but with the olympics introducing skateboarding in 2020, a sport he has already won world gold medals in, perhaps the summer games could be his next destination. there we re could be his next destination. there were three more gold medals won on day five. germany's erik frenzel retained his nordic title. dutch speed skater set an olympic record

it means federer is just is two wins away from reaching the semi—finals and, in doing so, becoming the oldest number one by 3 years, beating andre agassi to that record. it will also give him the record of having the longest gap between holding the top ranking. second seed grigor dimitrov made harder work of his match against japan's yuichi sugita. having won the first set, the second seed fell behind a break in the second, before levelling for 5—all. he eventually won it on a tiebreak. but there was a shock defeat for the number 3 seed alexander zverev. this was a second round match — and he was beaten in straight sets by the unseeded andeas seppi — who qualified as a lucky loser. the italian — ranked 81 in the world — won 6—4, 6—3, to seal his place in the quarter—finals.

news at our website, that's bbc.com/sport. but from me and the rest of the sport today team, goodbye. thanks forjoining me. time we updated you on the weather prospects for the whole of the british isles for the next few days or so. wednesday started in a pretty wild and woolly way across the north—western quarter of scotland. as ever, our weather watchers were there to capture the evidence for us, but things improved dramatically. come a little further south, not far really, troon beach and ayrshire. the difference, you had to get rid of this big old weather front which really made a difference. started dry enough across the eastern side of the british isles but, as that moved in from the west, it brought quite a bit of cloud and rain. thankfully that's moved away. thursday starts on a brighter note
1:56 am
for many, a drier note, though not necessarily, because certainly across western spots, particularly the north—western quarter of the british isles, there will be showers. elsewhere, bright enough and breezy sort day. quite a few isobars on that chart, and it makes a difference whether you are in the northern half of the british isles or the south, because further north, you are in the circulation of the big area of low pressure — there's quite a bit of wind, and it's got quite a bit of northerly in it, which makes it feel that much cooler. come a little bit further south, and a little ridge of high pressure is trying to calm things down. still breezy. there's a lot of isobars on that chart. the wind an ever—present right across the british isles. but i think the bulk of the activity found across the north, so if you are spending the day across southern parts, and here i'm showing
1:57 am
you the real detail — it's almost like, if you need reading glasses, we've just put them on to see exactly where those showers are, and you can see them peppering through western scotland and northern ireland. the bigger picture, yes, we know there are words on that page, but we take those glasses off and we get the overall sense of what's going on. here are those temperatures. five, six, seven in the north, ten, 11, possibly 12 in the south. taking you out of thursday, pushing on towards friday, not a great deal changes, save perhaps a greater influence from this little ridge of high pressure coming across the southern half of the british isles, killing off what showers there may have been on thursday. less in the way of breeze, but there's just not enough influence from that ridge of high pressure to keep this rain away from the western side of scotland, maybe later on into the fringes of northern ireland, but the temperature differential just beginning to ease up here — seven or eight in the north, ten or 11 in the south. what about the weekend? it starts off none too badly. it's not wall—to—wall sunshine, but i need you to keep that little area of low pressure in mind, because it may on sunday give some parts a little bit of rain.
1:58 am
otherwise, it's not a bad weekend. welcome to bbc news, broadcasting to viewers in north america and around the globe. i'm mike embley. our top stories: at least 17 people are shot dead at a high school in florida. it's over for south africa's embattled president, jacob zuma, who says he will resign. police say at least 17 people have been killed in a school shooting in florida with many others injured. a 19—year—old is in custody. he's believed to be a former student.
