group is ready and this is the next challenge, and in the end, the fixture takes care of itself and the results come from performance, so we rely on this. west ham united continued their unlikely push for a place in next season's champions league with a 2—0 win over leeds which leaves them fifth. on loanjesse lingard got the opener for the hammers then an unmarked craig dawson scored the second before half time heading in a corner from aaron cresswell. to dubai now and the first round of the wta event where 9th seed garbine muguruza overcame some late late pressure from the romanian qualifier irina begu to move into the second round. the spaniard won in straight sets 6—3, 7—5 and will meet the american, amanda anisimova, in the next round. the champions league returns later on tuesday when two last 16 ties reach a conclusion. borussia dortmund, who will be hopeful erling braut haaland is fit, are at home to sevilla leading 3—2 from the opening match. cristiano ronaldo'sjuventus have it all to do trailing porto 2—1.

she's now signed a multi—million pound deal with the streaming service apple tv+ to make her own programmes. she's been speaking to our arts editor will gompertz. she was the child activist who was shot by the taliban in 2012, survived, and became an international star, rubbing shoulders with the most famous people on the planet. now, 23—year—old malala yousafzai, orjust malala, as she's become known, joins the sussexes and the obamas as the latest high—profile campaigning public figure to sign a multi—million—pound deal with a streaming service. apple tv+ in this instance. i will be covering lots of things from comedies to documentaries to movies to tv dramas, and i am a big fan of sitcoms. i have watched very old sitcoms from blackadder... will this brilliant plan involve us climbing out of our trenches and walking very slowly towards the enemy, sir? how could you possiblyl

know that, blackadder? it's classified information! malala, that's a large swathe of broadcasting you're talking about and there's only you. how are you going to go about it? well, you know, small but mighty. i believe that we can get there. i want to inspire women and girls to believe in themselves, step forward, and make the change that they want to see happen. one child, one teacher, one book and one pen can change the world. oftentimes when you don't see a person of your background, of your skin colour, on the stage in these fields, you underestimate yourself. you think that you may not be able to do that, to do that work. so i think when we have more role models, it encourages us to believe in ourselves. and the world is in a state of flux at the moment. this is a world you'll be

reflecting, i assume, in your tv programmes. are you optimistic or are you pessimistic? i am optimistic but i don't want to deny the reality. like, there are things that are not fair. there is inequality, there is racism, there is sexism, there is discrimination, so we cannot deny that, but i'm optimistic about the change that we can bring. and i'm also optimistic about the fact that we have seen change throughout history. but we have seen that because people in our past have stood up. now it's our time that we do it for our future generation and ourselves that we bring that change. fanfare malala, the youngest person to be awarded the nobel prize for peace, has become an influencer with international reach, a global brand of sorts, with her own charity, book club, social media following and now this new tv production deal. proof that in a new world of content it's not who you know that counts but how many millions

of people know you. will gompertz, bbc news. and we will be talking about the importance of having a strong brand in our business coverage coming up next, and in particular, if brand britain has been damaged. that's coming up has been damaged. that's coming up in a moment, i will see you soon. hello. the weather is pretty quiet out there at the moment, and tuesday promises to be a fine day on the whole. the rest of the week, though, oh, my goodness, it's going to get significantly livelier. a deep area of low pressure forming out to the west at the moment, in the atlantic, will come hurtling towards the uk for wednesday and thursday. expect some very strong and gusty winds, and some spells of heavy rain. so, in contrast, for tuesday, yes, some showery light rain affecting northern reaches of the uk,

but overall a lot of fine weather. some sunny spells and light winds. a quiet enough day. temperatures just about making it into the lower end of double figures. through the afternoon, however, and into the evening, the wind starts to strengthen in the west, as this weather front pushes in. wet conditions for northern ireland and scotland, through the evening. overnight, the rain sinks further south, into england and wales, and the gusty winds will follow that band of rain. but the wind, the rain and the cloud do make for a milder night tuesday into wednesday. wednesday daytime, the cloud and rain tends to hang back across england and wales, as our next front bumps into scotland and northern ireland. generally a lot of cloud around, some heavy rain, but the wind the key factor again, i think, through wednesday. across the board, strong gusty winds. those are the figures in the black arrows. this is wednesday afternoon, and in exposed areas, we're looking at 50mph and inland 35—40mph. this is the area of low pressure wednesday into thursday. the fronts run off into the continent.

the low centre, though, stays to the north. thursday actually brighter for many, but a lot of showers coming in, and just don't underestimate that wind. behind the fronts, actually, it could be stronger on thursday than it was on wednesday. certainly will feel colder. i think we could see some snow showers across the highest ground, and the winds at exposure in excess of 60 mph, inland 40—16 mph. so a really windy 48 hours. winds slacken back a bit, perhaps friday, but bands of showers sweep across the uk. and then for saturday, it looks like we'll see a more organised band of rain spreading into all areas. and still a fairly blustery story into the early part the weekend.

this is bbc news with the latest business headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world: stimulating the world's biggest economy — the us house of representatives votes on the latest covid relief bill, which could give millions of americans of much relief bill, which could give millions of americans of much needed financial boost. a bleak outlook for the ukjobs market — a new survey suggests its fallen behind its european peers as new hiring falls to its slowest in three decades. and as the fallout from the interview with duke and duchess of sussex continues — we take a look at what impact it could have
