coming up in a few minutes is click. but first is sportsday. hello and welcome to sportsday — i'm chetan pathak — coming up on tonight's programme. harry kane makes history as tottenham stop manchester city from closing the gap to arsenal at the top of the premier league. france fight back in rome to avoid one of the great shocks in six nations history. and after a wait of more than eight decades, can great britain's four—man bobsleigh team bring home a medal?

hello and welcome to sportsday. tottenham have boosted their hopes for a finish but they have done arsenal's lead at the top remains five points, despite their defeat at everton yesterday. welcome along, thank you forjoining us. tottenham have boosted their hopes for a top four finish — but they have also done their north london rivals arsenal a huge favour tonight — by beating manchester city by a goal to nil at the tottenham hotspur stadium. it means arsenal's lead at the top remains 5 points, despite their defeat at everton yesterday. spurs took the lead after 15 minutes — pierre—emile hojbjerg intercepted rodri's pass,

set up harry kane, and he made history. his 267th spurs goal, beating jimmy greaves�* record, and his 200th in the premier league. city also had a record to break... they've never won in this stadium, or even scored a goal. riyad mahrez came close in first half injury time. with a chance to close in an arson at the top of the table, pep guardiola demanded more. he bought on kevin de bruyne, who found julian alvarez, who found his route to goal blocked by eric dier. alvarez had another go four minutes later. it was going to be one of those days the defending champions. there was a little late drama. a second yellow card for cristian romero for this foul onjack grealish. spurs held on and it was to be harry kane's day. it does mean his club's biggest rival is five points clear of city.

a special night for harry kane, passing the greatjimmy greaves and reaching 200 premier league goals. yet that you get the names who have been here, jimmy greaves, one of the great strikers to ever play the game. i'm really grateful and i've looked back over the years my first premier league goal against london, and it goes by so quick. ijust try to take it all in. my friends and family were here and to do it at home in 01— zero victory was perfect. at the other end of the table, nottingham forest have moved six points clear of the bottom three after beating leeds united at the city ground. leeds are now seven league games without a win, and are only above the relegation zone on goal difference. 0ur sports correspondent natalie pirks was watching: we get to that time of the season

where those at the bottom are starting to sweat. the teams attempted a high octane start. when brennanjohnson got a little shove, the home side were rewarded with a free kick, and johnson had the technique to make it count. leeds had only won two of their last 16. the first half was littered with chances that went begging. forest's keeper, keylor navas, showing class is permanent. leeds huffed and puffed in the second half but as every second ticked down, so did their confidence, and forest had the best chance to end things. 1—0 is how it finished. leeds fans feeling blue, forest fans enjoying breathing space between them and the drop zone. just one goal in it, in the end. afterwards both managers admitted their teams weren't at their best: it's probably - the first time we've not played well and got something out of the game. the first time we've not played well there have been a lot of games where we have played really

good football and walked away with nothing. maybe you earn your luck and maybe the players deserve that. but for sure, we need to play better with the ball in the next game, and show the defending structure and personality that we did in the second half. it is a lot to reflect on, but at least we walk out with three points. obviously we know what the table situation is. the frustrating thing is to just let opponent after opponent after opponent slip away. we have got to change that, we have got to change that dialogue and we have to change that internally to become more winners instead of finding ways to lose. that is basically my full responsibility. unlike in the premier league, the gap between the top two in scotland is bigger, celtic have restored their nine point cushion over rangers with a 4—1win at stjohnstone in the premiership. joe lynskey reports:

13 games left and nine points clear. each week celtic closing on the title. this was one more step in perth. stjohnstone was stubborn but careless. andrew considine's own goal put celtic one up, and now they cut loose. japanese international and this league's top scorer. stjohnston and have a gap to manage. they are seven clear of relegation and did start a fight back. in 2a league games celtic did have just one loss, and more than 70 goals. the third here from aaron moy sealed this by the break. contest nearly done and stjohnstone made their own. a free kick build on rock paper scissors and saw a shot to the wall. considine's day got worse when he was sent off, and celtic cut through once more. 4—1 and job done.

back to glasgow with three more precious points. chelsea are back on top of the women's super league, thanks to a 3—2 win at tottenham. a great goal from laurenjames was the highlight for the visitors, and helped condemn spurs to their sixth straight defeat in the league. i thought it was a scrappy game. the pitch made the conditions like that. i thought, first half, didn't create enough depth to have the control that we wanted. at least in the deepest bases i felt we played ourselves into trouble. it's one of those games that you know, across the course of a season, you have got to grind out a result. the important thing is the three points. was it perfect? no, but it is about three points and we did enough for that to happen.

manchester united drop to second after being held to a hugely frustrating goalless draw by everton at leigh sports village. marc skinner's side had a number of huge opportunities, but were unable to make the breakthrough. elsewhere liverpool moved eight points clear of the relegation places with a 2—0 win over reading. italy were close to one of the greatest shocks ever seen in the six nations — only for the defending champions france to come from behind and win 29—24 in rome. the french victory stretches their unbeaten run to 1a games but it could have been a very different story as ben croucher reports: in rome they come in hope, in fancy dress, and invariably when these meet, to see france win. that's how it was headed as early as the fifth minute when thibaud flament pounced for the opening score. and the second row gets the score. the backs kept it going and can

be effective when it lands in the right hands. italy wriggled their way to within five. the forwards then won the tussle and had the muscle. the penalty try. tommy allen then kicked them in front ten years on from their last win over the french, a decade of dashed dreams so matthieu jalibert�*s finish felt all—too—familiar. france's title defence up and running for all the hope ends in roman ruins. 84 years ago — that was the last time great britain won a first four—man bobsleigh medal at the world championships — until today in st moritz. pilot brad hall, taylor lawrence, greg cackett and arran gulliver finished joint second with latvia — bringing the long wait to an end. dan 0gunshakin has more:

it follows the historic gold at the european championships last month. championships last month. winning has become a familiar habit for brad hall and great britain's four—man bobsleigh team. in san moritz their site was set on world sight was set on world championship gold. hall and team racing against the clock and history. the last time britain medaled in this event was prior to world war ii. after two runs team gb were firmly in contention, and on the third they were chasing down the great francesco friedrich of germany. the germans and the only team to beat in the team this season. great britain pipped them to the recent european title, and were keen to continue their winning run. they stopped the clock just eight hundredths of a second behind, and with one run to come, victory was still within their grasp. latvia were determined to gate—crash the two team four—man party. having posted the quickest time on run three, they carried that momentum into their fourth and final attempt. at the last world championships in

2021, latvia missed out on a medal by 17 hundredths of a second. here they guaranteed themselves one. great britain and germany will determine what colour. like latvia, great britain had gone faster with every passing round. if they can continue that sequence, gold might be theirs for the taking. whether it was nerves, expectation, or the weight of history, hall and cco weren't quite at their bobsleigh best, posting only the sixth fastest time, which left him tied for first place. gold would require a mistake from germany, and with four—time champion with friedrich at the helm, that looked unlikely. the germans flew down the track, stopping the clock on a new record, handing friedrich his world crown by almost seven tenths. celebrations for germany as they when the one that matters once again, but a first men's four—man medal in 84 years a great consolation for team gb. that is all from us, stay with us on

bbc news. over the last 20 or so years, we've seen how difficult the internet and the web has been to police. it's bigger than any one country, and you can base your business in any one of them, depending on whose laws you want to adhere to. and it's opened up more ways for us to cause each other harm. disinformation, bullying, fraud. you name it, and you

can do it online. so when it comes to the next generation of the internet, often referred to as the metaverse, we're going to have the same problems. and even though the metaverse doesn't even exist yet, there are those who are already thinking about these problems and trying to pre—empt the troubles we may face. and marc cieslak�*s been finding out how the international police agency interpol has been training to fight real crimes in virtual worlds. terrorism... ..organised crime... ..and, increasingly, cybercrime. interpol�*s role is to connect police forces across international borders to fight these threats. from its headquarters in the french city lyon, interpol fosters collaboration between law enforcement in 195 countries. while the people inside this building co—ordinate interpol�*s activities in the real world, the international law enforcement agency is about to expand

into a newjurisdiction. the metaverse. the metaverse remains a conceptual notion. the next evolution of the internet, where users experience their online lives represented by 3d avatars. while the idea of the metaverse isn't quite ready for prime time yet, interpol is already experimenting with the tech. first, to provide remote online training as well as researching threats the metaverse could pose. it even has plans to use it as an investigatory tool. what can we consider a crime in the metaverse? so, in terms of criminality, i would say we can broadly define it in two categories. some which are existing threats in different media and some are threats which may be totally new to metaverse — for example,

things like financial frauds, data theft.
