on the volvo to prevent conflict with the self—driving system. nevertheless, prosecutors have determined that uber were not criminally liable in the death. if uber hadn't have disabled that technology, then potentially the vehicle would have detected the pedestrian, even without the uber autonomous technology, just with the volvo technology, and stopped the vehicle. but uber disconnected that, because apparently the vehicle was being a little too jerky in its motions, and it did notjive correctly with the autonomous vehicle system that uber had in there. a safety driver supervising an imperfect system should ensure its overall safety. however, that only works if they're paying attention. with self—driving cars being tested live on busy streets, accidents are inevitable, so this may not be the last incident

that we see on the road to a driverless future. but the number of accidents involving self—driving cars is very low for the millions of miles of testing that have taken place. here in arizona, i have seen the benefits of — and the resistance to — the idea of the machines taking over another part of our lives. so i think the question is not if, or when, this will happen. but will we let it?

hello and welcome to sportsday — i'm chetan pathak, coming up on the programme. the comeback kings again — manchester united come from behind to beat tottenham and strengthen their hold on second place all to play for at the masters but canjustin rose mount a fightback at augusta? and after five years away from rowing, it's a golden return for helen glover at the european championships. i was literally thinking, "am i going to make it down the track? it's silly, because i do it in training every day, butjust something about racing makes those come to the surface. i have squashed all of those.

welcome along, thanks forjoining us. they've won more games from losing positions than any other team in the premier league and manchester united have done it again after coming from behind to beat tottenham 3—1 in north london. it strengthens united's hold on second place but leaves spurs six points adrift of the top four. adam wild was watching: the tottenham hotspur task at hand here may well shape the task ahead. champions league qualification in question and what then of harry kane's future? that was the context within which they welcomed manchester united. the last thing they needed was to go behind. here was edison, absolutely convinced he had the opening goal. amidst the celebrations, spurs, a foul in the build—up. the referee had a closer look and decided it was. no goal.
7:49 pm
that was tougher united to swallow, it was about to get worse. now fully recovered, he ensured it was spurs who took the lead into the break. united would eventually get their goal. again, only this time, his shot was saved just into the path of fred. united level, and before long, they were ahead. finally a goal. that one it for united, mays and greenwood, making things entirely safe moments from the end. tottenham, every defeat now only raises more questions. adam wild, bbc news. you see the results earlier on today and how _ you see the results earlier on today and how tight it is beneath us. so to have _ and how tight it is beneath us. so to have seven points down to the next _ to have seven points down to the next one — to have seven points down to the next one instead of the four it could've — next one instead of the four it could've been, of course, that is bil could've been, of course, that is big for— could've been, of course, that is big for us — could've been, of course, that is big for us. and we want to see how close _ big for us. and we want to see how close we _ big for us. and we want to see how close we can — big for us. and we want to see how close we can get to the top. you know, for me, it's very difficult to analyse matches with
7:50 pm
the media, technically, because men technically commute going the direction individual qualities and then i'm always criticised when i try to analyse matches. so i prefer just to be very, very general. we lost against a very good team. i don't think we deserve to lose, and i praise my players and my compliments to united. on loan from manchester united — jesse lingaard's brilliant form in a west ham shirt continues after his two goals helped them beat leicester city and move back into fourth place. they're nowjust a point behind leicester in third with champions league football next season very much a possiblilty asjoe wilson reports: at the london stadium, silence for the duke of edinburgh. then a thrilling football match about europe. west ham's progress towards champions league qualification has been supercharged by one man. that's him. leicester dreaming of offside here, jerrod bowen was on and guess

who was alongside him? 2— 0 to lynguard. the move which brought westhampton a third was finished by bowen. leicester had to respond but players were missing. hamza, jose perez, james madison, dropped by the manager after covid breaches, leicester described as extremely disappointing. leicester did have him there. now, west ham throw away another three goal lead, could they? and him again. david told his players there was just one minute left. leicester with just one goal behind and here is how close they came to an equaliser. joe wilson, bbc news. asjoe wilson said there, leicester's preparations were hampered before the game as james maddison, hamza choudhury and ayoze perez were left out for breaching covid—i9 protocols. the team was poor for the first hour today and brendan rodgers shared his thoughts afterwards.
7:52 pm
they're good boys. they're all good lads. i work closely with them, and there is no animosity, it's nothing like that, but we have a value to how we work on a daily basis and how we prepare for games. if anyone falls short of that, thenwe have to move on without them. a huge result at the bottom of the premier league for newcastle after their 2—1 win at burnley. matej vydra had put the home side ahead. but allan saint maximan setup jacob murphy to fire them level before he finished off a fine solo effortjust five minutes later to lift steve bruce's side six points clear of fulham the day's final premier league game is at bramall lane where bottom placed sheffield united are taking on arsenal. alexandre lacazette's goal has put mikel arteta's side in front at half time. in the scottish premiership, the champions rangers are still on course to finish the season unbeaten and they're 100 are still on course to finish

7:54 pm
tonight? well, the final round for the masters for anyone who is vaguely interested in golf is one of the great nights of the sporting year, and tonight we might see something that we have never seen before, not just the first japanese winner of the masters, but the first japanese man to win a major. and for a country like japan which is golf mad and always has been, this is a massive deal potentially. you are absolutely right. i've covered many majors and see many champions players, and usually the travelling circus that is with them as well as the pressure from back home, there is great interest on the ground. and it is a factor that for matsuyama, thatis it is a factor that for matsuyama, that is not necessarily the case because not many japanese journalists, if any, because not many japanese journalists, ifany, have because not many japanese journalists, if any, have been able to travel because of covid. so on the ground in a that particular pressure isn't perhaps as great as it might�*ve been. john murray speaking to me a short while ago. he is part of the commentary team, and you can have a

final round of the masters over on bbc five live in five live sports extra. time now for some of the day's other sport stories... a half century for england'sjonny bairstow couldn't stop sunrisers hyderabad losing by ten runs to kolkata knight riders in the indian premier league. eoin morgan took a couple of catches as he captained his side to victory in chennai. toulose are through to the semi finals of the champions cup. they won 21—12 at clermont auvergne with all the points coming from the boot of romain n—tamack. elsewhere, bordeaux beat racing 92. last year's tour de france runner—up primoz roglic has continued his good start to the season with another race win. he finished second behind david gaudu of france on the final stage of the tour of the basque country, to win the week—long race by 52 seconds. after five years away from the sport, double olympic champion helen glover has marked her competitive return with a gold medal at the european
7:56 pm
rowing championships in italy. competing alongside team—mate polly swann in the women's pair, they held off a romanian charge in the final 200m to cross the line in first place. glover decided to make a comeback after spending time on a rowing machine during last year's first national lockdown. the mum of three says she's now setting her sights on becoming the first woman to make a british olympic rowing team after having children. one big gain is by doing this race, far, far more questions will have been asked just by doing one final. next time i sat on the start line of a a final, almost everything will be erased i was thinking today. i was literally thinking, "will i make it down the track?" and it's silly because i do it in training every day, butjust something about racing makes those doubts come to the surface. now i've squashed those all, i can move forward and be the athlete i know i am, and move on to be the athlete that

i want to be as well. great britain's impressive showing at the european weightlifting championships has continued with emily campbell picking up gold in the super heavyweight snatch, clean and jerk and combined disciplines. this lift of 154 kilos was enough to secure the win, having already cleared 122 kilos to win the snatch event. britain are 6th in the medal table with five golds could a war of words lead to a battle in the boxing ring? well notjust yet, according to amir khan. the former unified light—welterweight champion was called out by conor benn as he moved a step closer to a world title shot last night with a stunning win over colombia's samuel vargas. the fight, which was supposed to be a challenge for benn, ended afterjust 80 seconds. that's now eighteen wins in eighteen fights for him. he took his opportunity in his post fight interview to call out khan and... ..the bolton fighter responded earlier today.
7:58 pm
that's all from sportsday. asi as i said, do find —— follow that final round of the masters. there's more on the bbc sports website. for me and the sports day team, that's all for now. bye—bye. hello there. we've seen a lot of showers around today. they will be fading away overnight. they will linger for longer across the eastern side of the uk before skies tend to clear. could be some icy patches around overnight, not least because we've got some wetter weather coming into wales. could be some snow as well, and that will extend its way into the cotswolds. it won't be quite as cold as last night in northern ireland, but elsewhere, a widespread frost,
7:59 pm
lowest temperatures in the clearest skies in scotland and northern england. that wintry weather moves away from wales, briefly heads into southern england before the cloud breaks and we're left with some showers. most of the showers will be in northern ireland. a much drier, sunnier day, i think, for scotland, northern and eastern parts of england and into the midlands, and the temperatures will be a shade higher than they were today. it's still cold, though, and it will be a cold start again, i think, to tuesday. many places dry and sunny to begin with. a few showers arriving, though, in western scotland, northern ireland. another area that could see some showers, wales and into the midlands. many places will be dry, and those temperatures into double figures.
