talking about and being a premier league manager. at 1—0, there is still hope to make it up been a lot worse for the night for tottenham, a great say for hugo. so important for the champions league. atalanta, the italian side, it's the first time they've ever been in the competition, and they've pretty much got one foot in the quarterfinals, haven't they? this is a wonderful story. i asked was a brilliant tail last season, this for me is even better, because they have a tiny wage, they are in the champions league, and now they have one foot in the last eight. that was the second goal, a brilliant goal. to be honest, there were a couple of really good goals on the night, ended up finishing atalanta four, valencia one. the is the hero, the fourth goal of the night, his second, and they played such good football austin. it's all about attack. i was talking to other players, merton, in the lead up to the skin, and he says the manager
10:32 pm
just tells all the players that their first thought should always be to attack, even if you are a centre back. so it's 4—1, valencia has a bit of hope in the second layer, because it will create chances, but an amazing night for atalanta. couldn't have gone any better for them, could a? john bennett, thank you very much. as i mentioned before manchester city comfortably beat west ham in the premier league tonight. it was their first match since their uefa punishment. there were two first leg ties in the last 16, city won 2—0 at the etihad, just days after they were handed a two—year champions league ban and fined 25 milion pounds — for breaching financial fair play rules. well our reporter katie shanahan is outside the etihad for us and katie it's clearly been a really testing time for manchester city but pep guardiola and the team back to doing what they do best with all of this going on and off the field, it was an ideal performance from the team tonight. yes, austin, it was like business as usual. the manchester city fans or in full voice, some even chanting
10:33 pm
boo—uefa, and that you showed real character from the characters on the pitch come after what must have been a couple —— a tough couple of days, they were chanting the names, when he scored that second goal, and then we nt he scored that second goal, and then went on to get men of the match. he couldn't help but think, "will he be here next? the same goes for sergio, who is now 31, he's got four premier league titles. he was in fine form today. but he still hasn't played under the lights of champion she league final. guardiola asked his players before the game to use the ua for punishment as motivation. city have done just that, they've got the job done, and they won convincingly here 2—0 against west ham. it was a convincing performance, wasn't it, katie, on the pitch. today we heard the club's chief executive said they had provided irrefutable evidence that those uefa claims aren't true,
10:34 pm
guardiola was peaking to the press, was de? yes, he was, so city walk away with 2—0 win, but i think what is really important here and what lots of city fans will be really pleased to hear is that pep guardiola has said that he is here to stay. he says he's going to stay at the club he loves, adding that the club think that the punishment is unfair, and he believes that city will be in the champions league next season. so let's hear from the city manager, pep guardiola, who has been speaking for the first time since the news of that band on valentine's day. when someone believes he is right, he has to fight until the end, no matter what, and that is what i think the club is going to do. and as a manager of these players, what we can do in the last three months before the end of the season is arrive at a deal to fight everyone for the club, because you know, there is an incredible thing
10:35 pm
to fight for our people who like and support this club until the end, and we are going to do it. so... so life sometimes happens, it's just we are going to do it. so... so life sometimes happens, it'sjust how you approach it, you face it. i think as approach it, you face it. i think as a club come as a team, we are going to do it. well, pep guardiola they're showing how he is 100% committed to manchester city, which will be a real boost during this difficult time, well next up their city is leicester, and then the real test is yet to come when they hear that championship league music against real madrid in the last 60 next week. it's the story that will keep on going for the next few months, isn't it, katie? thank you very much for now. kilmarnock and aberdeen also fought it out for a place in the last eight of the scottish cup tonight. it finished goalless between the two sides in the first match but aberdeen got

10:42 pm
a 14 billion pound boost in education, to be outlined in the upcoming budget, will be wasted by poorly managed schools. the financial times reports that big tech companies may have to share their troves of data with smaller rivals under proposals by the eu. the metro says eight million ‘economically inactive' british workers could pick up the work that's being denied to low—skilled eu migrants under the new immigration plans. the i says there has been a backlash to the plans and most "economically inactive" people are carers, students, sick or retired. and on the front of the daily mail — house prices have risen in every region of the uk for the first time in almost two years. on the —— that's a flavour of summit, let's dip into those over the next 12 minutes or so. katie, kick us off, the metro is going back over where some of the papers were
10:43 pm
last night on the immigration plans. yes, so last night, the news of what the government is proposing on immigration, this points based system, and today, i think we are getting reaction committee think what you could call a backlash, in the metro headliners 8 million brits kennett for low skill jobs gap, the metro headliners 8 million brits kennett for low skilljobs gap, that picks up on something patel said today when talking about although businesses are saying we are not going to be able to get the leader we need to keep certain industries going as you would expect, it won't bea going as you would expect, it won't be a problem, because it will mean the economically inactive go back to work. now, there has been quite a lot of debate since then over how many economically inactive people there are. and really if this is going to work out, and i think that if you look at the 8 million figure, and a lot of those made up our... of stu d e nts and a lot of those made up our... of students and carers and long—term sick leave, or reasons that they can't work, so it isn't necessarily the easiest solution that it's being put forward as is the point of this article. rachel, according to the
10:44 pm
ons, of that 8.4 million, only 1.87 million would actually like a job, but the others would say no thank you for all the reasons that katie has just outlined. you for all the reasons that katie hasjust outlined. that's right, and it'sjust a weird sort of hasjust outlined. that's right, and it's just a weird sort of slate of hand from the government. they cannot they can't say that these roles would be filled by people who are currently unemployed, because they've been saying for the last few years that we've got record employment figures. so that's why we've got this economically inactive phraseology, which i've we've just demonstrated is absolutely meaningless, because when you cringe it down, it and such as being some 1296 it down, it and such as being some 12% of that number that patel is siting, that actually are ready and able and capable of working. and it just goes to show, there is no way around this, there is no way around this point that in every sector, that isn't a sector that want to be affected by this, and it's slightly annoying that we are being forced to
10:45 pm
discuss immigration in this economic frame. because that in it of itself is an inanity. it's a very imperial way of looking at immigration, whereby you know, everyone wants to come to this wonderful country, and we have to allow only a certain percentage of the, by definition inferior masses outside britain, and we select them according to a point system. i mean, i'm slightly surprised that we are not checking their teeth. but that very construct is actually missing the point about immigration, which is notjust about economics, no country is able to grow, thrive, prosper, create, innovate, no country is able to do that without exposure to other countries and other people and other cultures. that's how you get to progress throughout modern history, that's how progress happens. what though is the argument that says... they don't understand that concept.
