in what was also caretaker manager ole gunnar solkjsaer‘s first loss in the 12 matches he's taken charge of. today, we weren't at the level so of course this is a level up from what we have played against with the games we've had. a great run. we came into this game for a great frame of mind. they have quality from the keeper until the striker and there is a reason behind them being one of the favourites are the champions league. then again, that's a level that we need to aim for this club. i think that we grew again in this match. we did the next step to defend this year. i would like to say, not allow big chances, only allowing few shots outside the box

and it's a big achievement for us and it's a big achievement for us and of course, it has to be repeated. so confirmation of that result and also the news that roma will take a 2—1 lead to portugal for their second leg against porto. nicolo zaniolo had given last year's beaten semi finalists a 2—0 lead before adrian lopez handed his side a vital away goal with 11 minutes remaining. and in the europa league there was one last 32 first leg match that was played in turkey between fenerbache and zenit st petersburg. islam slimani on loan from leicester city scored the games only goal handing them the advantage ahead of next week's return leg in russia. a legend. a champion. a modest and good man. just a few of the sentiments expressed, following the death of former england goalkeeper gordon banks at the age of 81. banks was seen as one of the greats of the sport globally and in 1966 he won the world cup with england on home soil. our sports correspondent andy swiss looks back on his life.

but remains a footballing miracle. 1970, england versus brazil, and that save. the greatest ever from one of the greatest ever. four years earlier, gordon banks had been a cornerstone of england's world cup triumph and those who played alongside him were today united in tribute. sir bobby charlton said : he was my hero, obviously, growing up he was my hero, obviously, growing up and being able to train with him, i think the big thing i would say about him is, in an era which is totally different today, you have this great positional sense and that

was his dedication, really. he first made his name with leicester city. but it wasn't long before he attracted england's attention. his reliability was pivotal to the 1966 triumph. winning the world cup, he later said, changed his life. triumph. winning the world cup, he latersaid, changed his life. 0h, tremendous. when we come back, you won't believe the people. just incredible. we felt so proud. although england fell short of the next world cup in 1970, banks was at his peak, most famously against brazil in what's been described as the save of the century. quite how he denied pele has dumbfounded everyone, not least the strike himself. i had the ball, ijump to save the ball. bank 's brilliance

and then helped stoke city to the league club —— league cup in 1972, its first major trophy but later that year, a car crash cost in one eye. amid emotional scenes, he was forced to retire from the game although remarkably he did make a brief comeback in the us. but his fame and popularity proved enduring. on of these achievements for stoke and ringland, in 2012, he carried the olympic torch at wembley stadium where decades earlier, he conjured such wizardry as a player. in a statement today, his family said they could not have been more proud of him. for many, the greatest keeper english football has ever seen. england have won the third and final test of their series against west indies by 232 runs in saint lucia to gain a measure of consolation having

already lost the series. after being set a target of a85 to win, james anderson and moeen ali both picked up three wickets as the hosts despite roston chase's unbeaten century were bowled out for 252 with ben stokes taking the final wicket. perhaps the biggest talking point to come out of the game was the incident involving west indies bowler shannon gabriel and his clash with england captain joe root on day three. gabriel has been charged with a breach of the icc code of conduct after root had been seen responding to a comment from the fast bowler by saying: "don't use it as an insult. "there's nothing wrong with being gay." the charge, which was handed down by match umpires, will now be dealt with by match referee jeff crowe. the launch of the 2019 pakistan super league took place in dubai on tuesday. the fourth edition of the country's premier twenty—20 competition will have more matches in pakistan than any before. a decade on from the terrorsit attack on sri lanka's team bus, the pakistan cricket board hope the tournament will be the spark that brings the test match game back

western conference. until next time, goodbye. hello there. on tuesday the temperature reached 1a degrees in northern ireland, actually at giant's causeway. and over the next few days, the rest of this week it is going to stay very mild everywhere. with high—pressure essentially in charge, there will not be much rain around at all. the high is centred towards the south—east of the uk. so this is where our air is coming from around the high, from a long way south, which is why it is so mild. those winds are tending to push away most of the rain although, having said that, we do have more cloud around at the moment so it is not as cold. the cloud continues to be thick enough to bring some rain and drizzle across scotland, pushing its way northwards. these are the temperatures we're looking at towards the end
1:56 am
of the night, so typically 6 or 7 degrees. on wednesday, most places will start rather cloudy. there'll be some further rain and drizzle, mainly for scotland, heading away from the northern isles. still a bit damp for a while in the north—west of scotland. with the cloud breaking and some sunshine arriving in the moray firth, aberdeenshire and more widely across east wales, the midlands, southern england and east anglia. here the winds are lighter. towards the north—west of the uk where we've got more cloud, the winds are stronger. for all of us it is a south or south—westerly wind so for all of us it's mild. those temperatures very similar to what we had on tuesday. overnight, we will probably see some stronger winds for the northern half of the uk and a bit more cloud around too. another weak weather front topples into the north—west of scotland. more breaks in the cloud, more widely across england and wales. it will be a little cooler, temperatures around 3—4 degrees. as we head into thursday, we are going to find those strong south, south—west winds pushing away that weather front. and we're actually going to draw in our airfrom the near continent, and this is drier air as well
1:57 am
so that means more sunshine, more widely on thursday. there'll still be some cloud to greet the day across northern scotland. any rain soon gets pushed away. then the cloud breaks up. some pockets of cloud through the irish sea, but a lot of sunshine around on thursday. still quite breezy, very mild. temperatures could get 15 degrees around the moray firth. and easily 13 or 1a in many other areas as well. so an exceptionally mild day — it should be around 7 or 8 degrees at this time of the year. towards the end of the week, we've still got high—pressure close by. these weather fronts are trying to move in to that but, as they arrive, they are weakening and they're slowing down as well. so it's really the far north—west of scotland, perhaps northern ireland, that could see some rain later on in the day, but otherwise there's going to be still got those south to south—west winds
1:58 am
another very mild day with temperatures of 11 or 12. welcome to bbc news, broadcasting to viewers in north america and around the globe. my name is mike embley. our top stories: one of the most powerful drug cartel leaders in history, joaquin ‘el chapo' guzman, is found guilty on all counts at a trial in the us. opposition protesters take to the streets of venezuela, but president maduro tells the bbc there's no humanitarian crisis in his country, and takes aim at america. translation: i believe that the extremist sector of the white supremacists of the ku klux klan is in charge of the united states. i believe it's a gang of extremists. australia beefs up border protection measures and is set to reopen a controversial detention centre on christmas island — we'll explain why it's happening. hung out to dry — a leading uk business group warns the government
