own billy kemper win the jews challenge at pe‘ahi. hello and welcome to the programme, where we start with champions league football with four groups playing their penultimate fixture before the knockout stage. holders real madrid are seeking a fourth consecutive title in this tournament and despite inconsistency in their domestic league form they're in pole position to finish top of group g after a 2—0 victory away to roma. gareth bale and lucas vasquez goals proving enough, while elsewhere, in group e, bayern munich and ajax also guaranteed their places in the last 16 thanks to respective wins over benfica and aek athens. while manchester city are also through after twice coming from behind in lyon, sergio aguero with the second equaliser. before one game left, already in february we'll be there again, one more yearfor february we'll be there again, one more year for manchester city's good

news. now we can focus, of course, and on the premier league and other competitions and try to arrive in february with everybody fit and everybody ready to compete against the best 16 teens in europe. elsewhere, juventus have qualified top of group h with a match to play after mario mandzukic scored the winner against valencia, and in the same group marouane fellaini scored in the 91st minute for manchester united against young boys to take jose mourinho‘s side through with a game to spare. i want to send a message to my haters and say i've played champions league for 1h years and i've qualified 1a times. the two years where i didn't play champions league, i wonder europa league twice. so in 16 years, 1a times i qualify, and twice i play the europa league and won. just a little curiosity for my lovers and

the lovers of the stats. progression to the last 16 for ajax came at a cost as their 2—0 victory in greece over aek athens was tarnished by crowd trouble. these are pictures from the athens olympic stadium, you can see one fan with something that looks like a flare there, but it created a huge explosion and fireball in the stands. riot police were called in, this all happened before kick—off. you can see that the exchanges left some fans with quite nasty injuries. there's another big night of champions league football coming up on wednesday. paris saint germain‘s progression is still in the balance, they host liverpool and could be buoyed by the return of dani alves to the side. the brazillian full—back won three european cups during his time at barcelona, and now he's looking to bring that success to the french capital, as alex gulrajani reports. there is much to love about the french capital. the history, the architecture, the food, and don't forget the football. paris saint—germain are the force in the

domestic game, translating that to european football is now their target. and there's one man who knows a thing or two about that, dani alves. translation: it's a great city, a great cloud, a great challenge for me. i played for enormous clubs and i've come to one that has a vision, a perspective to be one of the best in football. i was challenged when i came here, some people thought i'd come here for other reasons than to be part of the history of this club, and i hope to achieve great things here at psg. alves was pa rt to achieve great things here at psg. alves was part of pep guardiola's barcelona team that dominated football for a three—year period, winning three straight league titles and two european cupss. that story is now part of a film that goes back to the period. translation: is now part of a film that goes back to the period. translationzlj believe it was a dream come true to believe it was a dream come true to be part of this great club. i believe it was the best decision i've made to date as a footballer,

do have played and being part of a great story of this club, the golden yea rs of barcelona, great story of this club, the golden years of barcelona, and i was there. i'm sure he is a genius, and it was a great pleasure to be able to work with a person like whyalla. i believe that words, football and guardiola are very closely associated. once you know him, once you've lived side—by—side with him, you've lived side—by—side with him, you know how he thinks. you know he's not afraid of any challenges. and neither are psg. unbeaten domesticly, their european future this season, however, remains in the balance. a win tonight against liverpool all but essential to keep that dream alive. alex gulrajani, bbc news. rising tension between ukraine and russia have forced arsenal's europa league group match with vorskla poltava on thursday to be moved. uefa said they made the decision to relocate the game from the city of poltava following the introduction of martial law in ukraine. the fixture will instead take place at the olympic stadium in the capital kiev kicking off at 17:55 gmt. elsewhere, leicester city beat

southampton 6—5 on penalties to set up an english league cup quarter—final tie with manchester city. the match which was rearranged following the death of leicester's owner in a helicopter finished goalless and then saw both sides scored theirfirst five penalties, before manolo gabbiadini's spot—kick was saved by danny ward and nampalys mendy made sure of his to clinch victory. the second leg of the copa libertadores final between river plate and boca juniors won't be held in argentina. the originalfixture in buenos aires last weekend was postponed twice after river fans attacked the boca team bus. the rescheduled match is set to be held on either the 8th or 9th of december, with the venue yet to be announced. tottenham manager mauricio pochettino has described the violence as being a cultural problem in his home country, and one that might never be solved. he likened the situation to that in england in previous generations. for me, its cultural, and how you're

going to change? i don't know, i promise, i don't know how to change that because it's so difficult for the politician, it's so difficult for the people that try harder to change. but this i think is cultural, and to work, you need to doa cultural, and to work, you need to do a very tough shot. i'm not sure this is going to change. pakistan's test side have beaten new zealand by an innings and 16 runs to level the 3—test series at 1—1. the real story in dubai was yasirshah's11t—wicket haul. the veteran leg—spinner took six second innings wickets to finish the match with a career—best11t/ 184, which is the best for any bowler this year as, patrick geary reports. this was yasir shah ayr‘s match. everyone else was just a guest in it. his bowling on day three decided this game. new zealand must have felt he was wanting them. there he was again catching ross taylor,

their top scorer on day four. after some initial resistance, the kiwis we re some initial resistance, the kiwis were hypnotised once more by shah's sorcery. were hypnotised once more by shah's sorcery. a few tried bravely to escape their fate but shah had guards everywhere, agile ones too. was only fitting that the man who had won this match on his own took the wicket that finished it, he was in the record books and pakistan level in the series. the result was neverin level in the series. the result was never in doubt because of the nightmare sequence shah inflicted on new zealand the previous day may effectively bowling in them out for 90, eight wickets in the first innings and two in their second. in the process, he's become the first bowler since anelka blade in 99 to ta ke bowler since anelka blade in 99 to take ten wickets in a day. his 14/184 beats the match figures of west indian shannon gabriel as the best in the world this year, and they're the best by a pakistani since imran khan all the way back in 1982. he's now the prime minister. shah has a shot at an even older record. this man, clarrie grimaced,

is still the fastest to 200 test wickets. he did it in 36 matches, shah only needs nine more to get there in his 32nd test. new zealand will be worried, he's on a roll and there's still one ball game to go. patrick gearey, bbc news. in netball, england avoided a shock home defeat by uganda with a 50—46 win in the first of their three match series in liverpool, the scene for next year's world cup. the commonwealth champions took a nine—goal lead at half—time but an error—strewn third quarter allowed the ugandans back in but tracey neville's side held on for victory. they're a team where we really struggled to get the ball off, we got to give their minimal opportunities, that's something we didn't do. really proud about the players that come on. this is about opportunities, giving people the opportunity to play against these, see what style of play actually suits these. i was actually quite pleased with some of the injection that actually happened, but, you know, there were some basic errors we just need to tighten up. maui's own billy kemper won the jaws challenge at pe'ahi

in hawaii, one of three stops on the world surf league big wave tourfor the third time in his career. after monday's surfing was abandoned due to the conditions, were kemper set the tone with exhilarating performances on finals day holding his nerve in the more than 60 foot waves claiming the victory with a brilliant 23.84 out of a possible 30 heat total. but not everyone was as lucky with jet skis doing the towing of the surfers even feeling the ocean's wrath and as you can see by these wipeouts being out in the water is not always as calm and relaxing as you may think it is. that must hurt! five nba games taking place, toronto, 17—4 so far, they are trailing against memphis 56-48. they are trailing against memphis 56—48. up shortly, the lakers, lebronjames, 56—48. up shortly, the lakers, lebron james, against the 56—48. up shortly, the lakers, lebronjames, against the denver nuggets. goodbye. hello there.

we've replaced our cold, dry weather now with something a lot more unsettled — wet, windy and much milder conditions, which will be with us in fact for the next few days. now, through today this next area of low pressure means business. it's going to be quite a deep area of low, bringing gales and heavy rain. in fact, there could be some disruption to travel throughout today, so keep tuned to your bbc local radio for all the local updates there. now, we're starting the day off, though, on a pretty mild note. we've lost the overnight frost that we've seen for the last week or so. temperatures starting off around six to eight degrees. now, we're dragging this milder air from the azores on a south—westerly wind. might not feel so mild, though, because of the gales and the rain, but it really will be milder than what we've been used to. spells of pretty heavy rain through the morning moving northwards, follow followed by showery bursts of rain further south during the afternoon. and then an area of much heavier, persistent rain for scotland, where we could see some pretty high rainfall totals on the hills there.

temperatures, double figures for all, as high as 14 or 15 across the south—east, but it's going to be very windy indeed. 60—65mph in exposure across western coasts, and then later in the day closer to 70mph perhaps for the north—east of scotland and the northern isles. and it's a brief window of fine weather during wednesday evening before the next bout of wet and windy weather starts to spread into the south of the country as we head into the early part of thursday. now, there could be a very windy spell of weather across parts of wales and the western half of england through thursday morning, as this next little area of low pressure moves north—eastwards. and with it, again, a spell of pretty heavy rain, which will clear through. and by thursday afternoon we should see a little bit of brightness breaking out, just a few blustery

showers, maybe heavy and thundery, across south—western areas. temperatures down a degree or so on wednesday's values, closer to nine to 13 degrees. as we end the week, low pressure still very much in charge. again, very windy, particularly across northern areas, as you can see, tightly packed isobars there. it's going to be i think a bright day on friday. most of the showers, blustery showers, will be across northern and western areas. and these will be increasingly wintry over the hills, as it will be a chillier day across the north. but very blustery, again, with the risk of gales across scotland, maybe into the far north of england. blustery across the south, though not quite as windy as it will be further north. and you'll notice a little bit cooler, with temperatures of nine to ten or 11 celsius. as we head on in towards the weekend, we maintain an unsettled theme, quite blustery, strong south—westerly winds. again, fairly mild across england and wales. turning a bit cooler, though, for scotland and northern ireland. welcome to bbc news, broadcasting to viewers in north america and around the globe. my name is duncan golestani. our top stories: the us calls on europe to do more to support ukraine in its conflict with russia over the crimean peninsula. votes are being counted
