putin's most useful idiots in the west have had to except it's pretty understandable why people want to join nato. but the irony is, actually, although russia has obviously displayed its military aggression in the most frankly horrific way, this may actually be finland's strongest moment to feel secure in making its alliance is clear. ., . secure in making its alliance is clear. ., , ., clear. 0k, achieving the opposite of what president _ clear. 0k, achieving the opposite of what president putin _ clear. 0k, achieving the opposite of what president putin was _ clear. 0k, achieving the opposite of what president putin was hoping - clear. 0k, achieving the opposite of| what president putin was hoping for, many people pointing out that he's unified in strengthening nato. we'll leave it there for now. katie and aubrey will be back again at 11.30. thank you very much indeed. thank you forjoining us... oops! coming

up you forjoining us... oops! coming up next, it's the sport. good evening. manchester city and liverpool are both into the semi finals are both into the semifinals of the champions league, after geting the results they needed to reach the last four. liverpool were held 3—3 by benfica at anfield, but go through 6—4 on aggregate, whilst manchester city battled hard for a 0—0 draw at atletico, ensuring they progressed i—o after their victory in the first leg. olly foster reports. for all manchester city's triumphs and trophies, there is one thing they can't sing about yet — being european champions. we are confident, aren't we?

we're confident, aren't we? we're confident we will get to the final. if there's any year, i think this could be the one. city have come here with a one goal advantage from the first leg but it could be another very cagey night against atletico madrid. the spanish champions stifled city's creative streak last week. john stones should have done better with an early header. phil foden had had trouble. has gone straight through him. he played on despite a clattering challenge from felipe to stop a desperate scramble in the box so gundogan hit the post. pep guardiola adopted this position for much of the second half. he knew atletico would push for a goal. how close was that from antoine griezmann? mighty close. as the home side became increasingly desperate, felipe crunched into phil foden again and was sent off. and that helped city's cause. a madrid melee and nine minutes of extra time later, relief. city had scraped

into the semifinals. they'll return to this city to real madrid. for liverpool, it was a more straightforward passage he's gone straight through him. he played on despite a clattering challenge from felipe to stop visitors to anfield, though, tend to raise their game. ramos raised portuguese hopes. roberto firmino's second—half brace was enough to see them through. olly foster, bbc news. the manager of northern ireland women, kenny shiels, has apologised for his comments following their 5—nil defeat to england in women's world cup qualifying last night. shiels said women are more emotional than men and end up conceding goals in quick succession as a result. former players like siobhan chamberlain and ian wright have criticised shiels, who has since issued a statement saying...

well, yvonne harrison is the chief executive of the women in football network, that aims to raise awareness about attitudes to women in the game. we asked her thoughts for shiels' comments. there such outdated views. i was a bit taken aback. it's disappointing, because for somebody is watching for the first time, you might actually consider that to be true. i think it was opinion, it wasn't based upon facts. therefore, it's quite damaging. as well as being a big week for british clubs in the champions league, there are also some crucial games

in the europa league this week. rangers are taking on sporting braga tomorrow in their europa league quarterfinal, looking to overturn a 1—0 first leg defeat. and west ham are also looking for a place in the semis. they play away at lyon after a i—all draw in the first leg. they'll be without defender kurt zouma, who has an ankle injury, which david moyes admits it's a setback. it's a really big blow when you lose somebody— it's a really big blow when you lose somebody who's a french international and world cup winner. really— international and world cup winner. really important to the team. but it happens _ really important to the team. but it happens in — really important to the team. but it happens in football, you get injuries— happens in football, you get injuries along the road, and unfortunately, he's got an ankle sprain — leicester city also have a big game tomorrow in the europa conference league. manager brendan rodgers has urged his side to create club history by beating psv in eindhoven tomorrow to reach their first ever european semifinal. it's all to play for after a goalless first leg. we'll go with a real positive mentality— we'll go with a real positive mentality and _ we'll go with a real positive mentality and player- we'll go with a real positive

good night. hello there. apart from the odd shower, it does look like many places will stay dry for the run—up to easter. and for many of us, it'll stay quite warm, as well — particularly for england and wales, where we'll see the best of any sunshine throughout the day on thursday. we've got a weak area of high pressure tending to build in across the country — that should keep these weather fronts out at bay, which will tend to threaten parts of northern ireland and scotland through the day. however, they will tend to bring thicker cloud here through the day, some spots of rain around, particularly for western scotland. elsewhere, any low cloud, mist, and murk will tend to clear away, certainly inland, and allow for some good sunny spells to develop, though could stay quite murky around the coast. and there's just an outside chance of a shower across eastern england. again, another warm day to come for many, 15—19 celsius, we could see 20 celsius again somewhere in the southeast. there's a repeat performance as we head through thursday night. showers die away, and we start to see more low cloud, mist, and murk rolling into southern and western areas in particular.

i think eastern areas will see the lengthiest clear spells. and again, it's going to be another mild night. so, for good friday, we start off mainly dry, sunshine from the word go across eastern areas, a bit more in the way of cloud across the north and the west — perhaps an odd shower for northern ireland, wales, the southwest of england. otherwise, most places dry, and it could be the warmest day of the week, good friday, we could see 21 celsius so when the south east, but even further north, the mid—to—high teens. now, as we head through the easter weekend, it does look like our area of high pressure could start to break down, and that may allow low pressure and weather fronts to sweep in to the north and the west through easter sunday and easter monday. so, some areas in the north could be fairly wet. saturday itself doesn't look too bad — much of england wales again dry with some good spells of sunshine. a bit more in the way of cloud across scotland, northern ireland, perhaps some irish sea coasts, the odd shower here. and temperatures again, mid—to—high teens for many, probably highs of 18—19 celsius in the south east. temperatures just coming down a little bit. easter sunday at this stage, it could be fairly wet across parts

easter sunday, at this stage, it could be fairly wet across parts of the north and the west for a while. more active weather fronts try to work their way eastwards. but again, midlands, eastern england, southern england could stay dry with some good sunny spells and temperatures mid—to—high teens once again. so, i think we're starting the easter weekend off on a largely fine, pretty warm note with some sunshine around — the best of it in the east, but there is an increasing chance of more unsettled weather trying to push in from the north and the west for part two of easter weekend.
