it's all tight in group c of the asian champions league, with three teams equal on points after three matches. and cyclist, bradley wiggins, speaks out after a parliamentary report in britain says team sky crossed an "ethical line. " hello, and welcome to the programme, where we start with the footballing news that nemanja matic score a stoppage—time winner from outside the penalty box as manchester united came from two goals down to beat crystal palace 3—2 and regain second place in the premier league. the serbian fired home a wonderful goal off his left foot to grasp the match from palace who had led 2—0 three minutes into the second half and were on the verge of moving out of the relegation zone, but it'sjose mourinho‘s side who take all three points to move two ahead of liverpool who they face at old trafford on saturday.

i always believed, you know, i would be like this and tell my last day. always believed. at other times more than others. but, obviously, with this morning, i always felt it was possible. it was a rollercoaster on sunday as well. after working so hard together, you needed a positive result, and we conceded a goal from a corner kick. the same thing happens today. so hard trying to get a goal and then at the last minute, a goal and then at the last minute, a strike from a distance. nemanja matic struck it well. my team deserves better than that. pep guardiola says he's accepted the fa charge for wearing a yellow ribbon during matches, but insists he does not see it as an apology. the manchester city boss who wears the ribbon in support of imprisoned politicians in his native catalonia has continued to wear what the fa has described as a political symbol during league and domestic cup matches this season.

he says he will observe the rules of the country but will continue to wear the ribbon pre and post match. just the one game in spain's primera division with pablo hernandez scoring the winnerfor celta vigo in the last two minutes against las palmas to win 2—1 and move up two places to ninth. the canary islands outfit had taken the lead eight minutes into the second half through erik exposito butjonny equalised for the hosts before hernandez scored in the dying seconds to put them 2—1 up and leave las palmas 18th. to the asian champions league where it's all to play for in group c midway through this phase as nasaf qarshi, currently third in the table, were 1—0 winners over al—sadd of qatar. just after the hour mark, the side from uzbekistan were handed a penalty after this infringement, and aziz—jon ganiev made no mistake from the penalty spot although al—sadd top the table on goal difference.

i love that celebration. meanwhile in tehran, persepolis, semi—finalists last year were 2—0 winners at home over al wasl of the uae. both goals coming in the first half, far—shad ahmad—zadeh with the opener. the second, coming five minutes later after a penalty given following this collision in the box, with ali alipour slotting it home from the spot. now to a report that was released on monday by british mps that said cyclist bradley wiggins and team sky "crossed an ethical line" by using drugs that are allowed under anti—doping rules to enhance performance instead of just for medical purposes. our sports correspondent, david ornstein, has more. this report is the culmination of a 2.5 year investigation by mps with perhaps the most significant conclusion being that britain's most decorated cycling olympian, bradley wiggins, and his employers, team sky, use powerful drugs, not for legitimate medical conditions which they are permitted to be used for,

but to enhance competitiveness. both parties refuse the allegations. the suggestion and ethical line was crossed will do damage to their reputations and that of the team sky principle, sir dave brailsford, the mastermind of so much of cycling success mastermind of so much of cycling success in britain. and for british cycling, whose headquarters are behind me. and for the sport as a gold. the report criticises poor and non—existent recordkeeping. in both areas, there could be further repercussions in a sport where signs of this show no sign of going away. our sports editor, dan roan, spoke exclusively to bradley wiggins a little earlier, and the 2012 tour de france winner insists he's done nothing wrong. idid not i did not cross the ethical line anytime in my career. as we said before, i had medical condition and i went to my doctor. it was being

treated since 2003 when i was diagnosed with it. this is the treatment i have been prescribed with four that, which was seven yea rs with four that, which was seven years ago. “— with four that, which was seven years ago. —— for that. it was under specialist supervision. under those rules, you could apply for that use. what about the timing? of this was a genuine illness and you had to take something for it came up, why this convenient timing before these three major races? because of the time, grass pollen, i was allergic to it. it goes in seasons. this particular strain of grass pollen i was allergic to, it was at a heightened period, during june and july the big what about during 2016? because i was indoors. this lead up in fields. —— flared. through france, the biggest race of the year. i won

everything in that year and i did not want to jeopardise it. ok. and never outside of those three races. the report says you took it nine times infour the report says you took it nine times in four years. yeah, now, this, i do not know where that came from. mexican boxer, saul canelo alvarez, has tested positive for the banned substance clenbuterol. the 27—year—old is due to face gennady golovkin in their much anticipated world middleweight las vegas rematch on the fifth of may. his promoters say it is consistent with meat contamination with alavrez himself saying he's both surprised and bothered. he's one of the most successful olympic coaches in the world, but you'd be forgiven for not knowing his name. david tanner masterminded great britain's domination of rowing over the past two decades. in that time, his crews won 35 olympic and paralympic medals, but now he's announced his retirement. our reporter, tim hague, went to meet him. surprising, really, that one of the best of britain's and it coaches is

little known outside of rolling. —— elite. but under the two decades of leadership of david tanner... here we go! they got 35 paralympic and olympic medals. so why is he retiring? why am i retiring? it will be hard to step out. it has been a big part of my life. i have done 21 yea rs. big part of my life. i have done 21 years. that is quite a long time. the first row was have been out since 7am this morning. —— rowers. he is an ex—head teacher. he still carries that. we have all been called into his office. he created an incredible place of success and inspiration. he will always be remembered. i was confident that, with financial support, that is where the lottery comes in, i could

build something good. but does he feel sorry for his successor? comparisons have been made with the replaceable sir alex. when he left manchester united. replaceable sir alex. when he left manchester unitedlj replaceable sir alex. when he left manchester united. i do not see myself as sir alex ferguson at all. ido myself as sir alex ferguson at all. i do not feel i am a big cheese in that way. i am not modest about being the leader of the best growing nation in the world, but i do not need to be somebody that puts his head above the parapet too much. —— rowing. but success like his should be celebrated. you have had a hand in 40% of british rowing wins since he took over. is that right? 40%? the he took over. is that right? 4096? the first games was 1,900. that is not bad. not bad at all. as expected, the second stage of the paris—nice ended in a sprint to the line in vierzon with victory for dylan groenewegen. the race to the sun started cold

and grey as manuela bo—aaro and tiago mashado got themselves into a break, but it was all in vain as the sprinter‘s teams brought the race back together for dutchman groenewegen to hold on for the win. arnaud demare who won the opening stage retains the race leaders yellow jersey. in the nba there are seven games taking place at present, or in the next few hours. detroit against the cavaliers. the cavs are 95—78 up with eight minuts remaining. boston are second in the eastern conference and are at chicago right now leading 29- 24, and are at chicago right now leading 29— 24, and it is almost half—time. until next time. it is time to say

bye for now. hello there. as temperatures continue to slowly rise, increasingly we are seeing snow being confined to the high ground in scotland and that means communities that have been hard hit by the heavy snow — the snow is continuing to ease and thaw, but of course it is going to be a long road. looking at the weather picture today we have got some rain pushing to the northern half of the uk and it is notjust rain, also some white mixed in across scotland. we are expecting more snow. what it will be over the hills. in the south, a few clearer spells, some mist and fog and patches of frost possible as we start off the morning in the countryside. a slippery start to the day again. looking at tuesday morning, this area of snow that could cause problems for scotland because we are going to see heavy snow mostly in the hills, above 200 metres elevation looking at 5—10cms towards the east coast and low down it is more likely to be rain that falls but that cause problems because the rain is going to be heavy and will act as a thaw of the snow already on the ground.

some localised flooding is a possibility and perhaps the snow getting to lower levels in some of the deep highland valleys. a few showers across south—west england and wales, cold in the north but relatively mild in the south. highs of 12 degrees in london. looking at the weather picture through tuesday night and wednesday, that snow will ease its way across from northern scotland but the weather front will sneak across the english channel and curl back into south—east england and east anglia, threatening a spell of morning rain on wednesday. quite a wet start but that rain will clear away, followed by some brighter skies and sunshine. some showers around, particularly western areas, some wintry across the high ground of scotland but temperatures continue to recover, looking at highs of six in edinburgh. thursday promises to be a quite a on a weather front, still a few showers knocking around and a more persistent area of rain running to the english channel, not far away from south england so that could come inland. otherwise, quiet, some bright skies, bit of sunshine coming through and tmeperatu res between six and nine celsius. nothing severe for thursday. through to the end of the week and the weekend, quite cool

for the northern half of the uk but relatively mild into the weekend in the south. welcome to bbc news, broadcasting to viewers in north america and around the globe. my name is lewis vaughanjones. our top stories — a former russian spy lies critically ill in a british hospital, apparently overcome by a mystery substance. workers cut short their mission to the besieged syrian enclave of eastern ghouta after repeated shelling.

britain's most decorated olympian, sir bradley wiggins, says he's not a drugs cheat after mps accuse the cyclist of crossing "an ethical line." this whole thing has been a complete mass of innuendo and rumour and nothing has been substantiated and i had to deal with
