as tyronn lue takes a break. and perhaps the greatest advert for the adoption of var technology. we'll show you why the referee really got this one wrong. thank you forjoining us. we will kick off the show talking about the west indies and at the cricket and they have finally come back from the brink and they are a step closer to the world cup after managing to defeat zimbabwe by four wickets. the shock defeat to afghanistan left the west indies with a point to prove an rre and ferocious bowling saw a player catch one in the grille in just the sixth over. he left the

field for a concussion test but zimbabwe came back to live. it was a formidable total. after returning to the field, the opener steered his side to 289 of their 50 overs. chris gayle is a moment who can make any total look gettable but after losing him tojust i7, total look gettable but after losing him tojust 17, the total look gettable but after losing him to just 17, the target looks all the more daunting. although the west indies are not the dominant force they once were, on the day they are still capable of mixing it with the best. lewis launched the recovery. it was samuels who brought victory in size 86 from just 80 balls looked like he could put the game be on any doubt but then came the bauble. they

lost four wickets in just 12 balls. samuels going first before a remarkable catch in the outfield. powell steered the west indies to victory. zimbabwe know they still have one more chance against the uae on thursday to put them in the biggest spot in the world for them. to the nba and lebronjames says cleveland cavaliers players are "totally in support" of head coach coach tyronn lue, who's announced that he is taking a leave of absence from the team, to address health issues. a stress—filled season for the cavs has taken a toll on lue, who led them to the 2016 nba championship. the ao—year—old has had to leave three games this season due to ill health, the latest coming during saturday's win over the chicago bulls. lue said in a statement: here's how cavs superstar

lebronjames reacted to the news. it is like losing one of the best players, obviously. his pretty much the captain of our ship. has been for the last three years but we have coachesin for the last three years but we have coaches in place ready for the challenge and we to do ourjob for players as well. the masters at augusta gets underway in two weeks time and two of golf‘s biggest stars are back in form. rory mcilroy played his best round in years to win the arnold palmer invitational on sunday — his first pga tour win in 18 months. and for the second weekend running tiger woods was hovering near the top of the leaderboard

seemingly putting injury woes behind him. it's a timely boost for the sport ahead of the first major of the year. so is woods looking forward to augusta? it is frustrating to know i am young enough to play the event but i have not been able to physically do it which is difficult. i have had a lot of success of that as well. so rory‘s rolling them in and tiger is back on track but how badly does the sport need these two players to feature heavily in the final round of the masters? espn senior golf writer bob harig breaks down why the two stars are key components of golf‘s success. they are two of the most popular players in the game. rory is still a young quyr players in the game. rory is still a young guy, someone players in the game. rory is still a young guy, someone who has been around for almost a decade yet he's

not 30. a lot of good golf ahead of him. tiger's comeback is captivating just because of all he has been through and how good he was. is there a possibility for another good comeback? can he climb back up there ain? comeback? can he climb back up there again? his popularity going back 20 yea rs. again? his popularity going back 20 years. is this good in terms of bringing people to the game? huge attendance, record—breaking is, that is only a good thing and maybe it brings along a few more people who stick around who might not have otherwise watched. it's only a couple of weeks until the start of the commonwealth games on australia's gold coast. in the lead up to the games, the bbcs mike bushell has been meeting some of the british medals hopes. he's travelled to wales to meet an extraordinary table tennis player — who's only 11 years old. your first year at secondary school isa your first year at secondary school is a big step in love but maybe not if you are an who at the age of ii

hello there. 0ur weather's showing signs of catching up on the season, going from something that has felt more like winter to something more springlike over the next few days. now over the weekend, london temperatures barely got above freezing. there is a trend to seeing things warm up and by thursday, temperatures should reach double temperatures in the capital. of course the big change has been this area of high pressure, which brought us the beast. that same area of high pressure has now just sunk to the south—west of the uk. that's dragged in colder air. that will continue to be the case over the next couple of days. 0n the satellite picture, we are looking at an area of cloud sinking its way southwards at the moment and that cloud is just thick enough to bring us a few light showers, so for the early risers there is the potential of catching one or two showers across parts of the midlands, east anglia and south—east england.

i won't be surprised to see the odd flake falling from that, given that the temperatures for most of us are at or below freezing. a particularly cold start to the day in scotland, where temperatures down potentially to as low as —8. for tuesday, we will have a cloudy start to the day for most of england. should be fairly sunny across scotland. with this cloud, one or two showers pushing on towards the midlands for a time during the day, but the cloud will tend to shrink and shrivel, with some sunshine either side of it as we go on through the afternoon. for many of us, a decent kind of day. temperatures up to nine degrees in london. that was tuesday's weather. as we get towards wednesday, we start to drag in some milder air towards the atlantic, but with that comes the threat of more rain. before that arrives, it's going to be another fairly cold night, particularly across england and wales, the temperatures not as low in scotland and northern ireland,

where we'll have that increasingly cloudy look to the weather. with outbreaks of rain skirting into northern ireland. the rain heavy at times and quite persistent across the western side of scotland. a few breaks of sunshine probably across central and eastern parts of england. we are looking at highs of around nine degrees in london again, but the temperatures in scotland and northern ireland are reaching double figures. ten or 11 degrees in the warmest spots, and that warming trend continues on into thursday. thursday, potentially a little bit of rain around, getting close to eastern england. it could be quite wet for some. the weather going downhill further west, as the next band of rain works in. temperatures pretty much across the board will be reaching double figures. that's your latest weather. welcome to bbc news, broadcasting to viewers in north america and around the globe. my name is nkem ifejika. our top stories: all eyes on china's president xi jinping, as he wraps up the annual national people's congress and gets ready for his second term at the top. police in austin, texas hunt
