president putin and his french counterpart, emmanuel macron, agree to intensify diplomatic efforts over ukraine. it's as the country's president calls for an immediate ceasefire between government forces and pro—russian separatists in the east. the legal requirement to self—isolate after catching covid in england is expected to be dropped from next week — despite concern from some scientists and medical groups. i'm not saying you can totally throw caution to the wind — covid remains dangerous if you're vulnerable and if you're not vaccinated. but we need people to be much more confident and get back to work.

thanks for your company this afternoon, we have the full review coming up later, but next sports day. hello and welcome to sportsday — i'm holly hamilton 11 games, five women, one olympic gold medal. team gb finally top the podium on the final day of the winter olympics in beijing. manchester united tighten their grip on the top four, but did it the hard way at elland road. still unbeaten — the lionesses record under weigman continues as they hold spain to a draw at the arnold clark cup.

hello and welcome to sportsday. good evening, welcome to tonight's programme. after 16 days of thrills and spills on the snow and ice. the winter olympics 2022 has drawn to a close in beijing. for team gb, not the most fruitful of games. however, they ended on a high, claiming their only gold medal in the women's curling in the early hours of this morning. our correspondent andy swiss was watching. it's curling gold! saving the best or last. a glittering _ it's curling gold! saving the best or last. a glittering finale - it's curling gold! saving the best or last. a glittering finale to - or last. a glittering finale to britain's games as eve muirhead's team deliver the perfect ending. this could be the most important stone of the match. this this could be the most important stone of the match.— this could be the most important stone of the match. this is so often the sportive — stone of the match. this is so often the sportive cliffhangers, _ stone of the match. this is so often the sportive cliffhangers, but - stone of the match. this is so often the sportive cliffhangers, but not i the sportive cliffhangers, but not this time. japan led the field from

to the premier league, as manchester united and leeds united faced off in front of fans at elland road for the first time since 2003. as you'd imagine, a thunderous reception awaited them and the game was befitting of the occasion. a six goal thriller to strengthen manchester united's grip on the top four. nesta mcgregor was watching. a footballing rivalry more than 100 years old, leeds united versus manchester united very rarely fails to live up to the pre—game hype. the games opening goal, harry maguire. in a reek where he has had to shrug off rumours about losing the captaincy, he shrugs off his man to head home. jayden sancho picked out fernandez, the peak of picked the ball out of the net. less than ten minutes into the second half lead a

lifeline. cross or shot? there was hardly any time to debate, because less than 60 seconds later, it was 2-2. less than 60 seconds later, it was 2—2. manchester united clearly startled, then made adjustments. fred, a second—half sub, was on the right place with his left foot to blast the team into the front. one of the moment is to much will be remembered for, though, this bit of skill from bruno fernandes. the teenager and his team—mates keen to show outsiders they are united. at half—time we were fully aware that we have to always be on the front foot, we conceded two goals within two minutes and that change the whole game. the atmosphere was amazing of those five minutes, but we kept our heads up and showed unity on the pitch and that was the only way to achieve the job. we had quality of the bench, the lads who—

of the premiership. meanwhile, their rivals rangers could only manage a point at dundee united after being held to a 1—1 draw at tannadice. craig templeton was watching that one. from dortmund to dundee and back to domestic duties for rangers, after one of the best nights in their european history. that 11—2 win in germany caused a lot of noise back home, and here they had a big shout for a penalty. no var in scotland, something rangers will rue. because the man involved in strong—arm himself into position and headed home. not a bad birthday present. if he wished for good luck when he blew out his candles, then that is what he was getting, again, no penalty. but his and dundee united's luck eventually ran out, the rangers pressure told. the champion is

puffed and puffed in search of another, but twice found the tannadice would work in the way. here first and then left so nearly fashionably late. in the end, it wasn't to be. as england continue their preparations for the euros later this year, the lionesses top the table at the arnold clark cup. they drew 0—0 with spain this afternoon, the tournament favourites. no goals, but 21—year—old hannah hampton in nets has got the england camp talking, asjoe wilson reports. this tournament is preparation. the summer decides europe's best nation. england rotated against spain, tried some use. hannah hatton three mike hampton, hampton on debutjust 21.

built on the foundations of barcelona, spain at the world's rising force, but in the first—half, one shot on target, look at the 2nd half began. lauren hemp, 21, norfolk born at norwich city, have to pull some glory. as the game opened up, some glory. as the game opened up, so chances fell to spain, but hampton wasn't beat. lauren hemp, the shot never came. it was a nearly kind of afternoon. a goalless game reflected well on young hampton, their again right at the end. if you can't beat them, draw with them. let's have a quick look at some of the other stories making the sports news today. there was a dramatic finish in the extreme e, desert x grand prix. johan kristoffersson snatched victory with this late overtake in the season opener in saudi arabia. the win sees defending champions, rosberg x sit top of the standings. britain's ethan hayter finished in fourth place overall

at the tour of the algarve. the ineos grenadiers rider was second this morning, but was distanced on the final climb as belgium's remco evenepoel attacked, to clinch overall victory. and a moment of history for australia's hannah green at the tps murray river event. she's become the first woman to win a mixed—gender professional golf tournament. green began the final round in a four way tie for the lead — but a round of 66 saw her secure a 4—shot win. in rugby union, exeter left it late butjoe simmonds' penalty saw them edge past newcastle in the premiership. the hosts were leading going into the closing stages, before this penalty from simmonds saw the chiefs nick it by a point — 15—14 the final score at kingston park. exeter are up to fifth whilst newcastle stay in eleventh.

ulster are up to second in the ultimate rugby championship after beating the dragons 12 points to 0. the game was played in tough conditions but a a couple of tries from the away side, including this one from john andrew saw them over the line. dragons stay second bottom after their seventh defeat in nine this season. amir khan has hinted at retirement after admitting his defeat to kell book last night could be his last. the two former world champions finally fought in front of a packed out manchester arena and it was brook who got the victory in the sixth round, with the referee stopping the contest, to settle one of the most bitter and long—running feuds in british boxing. afterwards, khan said he's concerned about taking any more "harmful punishment" and wants to spend more time with his family. however brook, who's also 35 says he's not going anywhere.

i've always said, i never want boxing to retire me — this is the icing on the cake, tried my best to try to do everything, do i carry on? ifeel like my best to try to do everything, do i carry on? i feel like a 23—year—old today. i'm going to sit down with my dad and mum and immediately family, see if you want to carry on for that's all from sportsday. we'll have more throughout the evening. hello and welcome to the film review on bbc news. i'm jane hill.

to take us through this week's cinema releases is mark kermode. hello. what are you watching? we have dog, in which channing tatum co—stars with...a dog. we have old henry, which is a western. and here before starring the great andrea riseborough. i love dogs. am i going to love the film? do you like channing tatum? i am neutral. he stars and co—directs. there comes a point in every leading actor's life, i must co—star with a dog. richard gere and tom hanks have both done it. here, channing tatum is a ranger trying to get back into service. there is a military dog whose handler has now died. the military dog is years in service and has become very unpredictable.

channing tatum's character wants to get back into service. he is told to take the dog to the funeral, a cross—country thing, a road trip. after that, take the dog where it needs to go. tell them it will be rehabilitated, but that is not what is going to happen. so, the dog's behaviour is unpredictable. the film isn't. what do you think would happen if you put a likeable character and a dog with problems in a car? do you think during a road trip they will fall into a will fall out? there will be good times and bad times and there will be a moment when they share a bath together. hello, nugget. come on and get in the nugget bath. good girl. come on! come on. you're 0k. i don't want to kill you. yeah. good girl. come on. yeah!

no, no, no. come here.
