good evening this is the sports news where we start with football and tottenham hotspur have boosted their hopes for a top four finish. they have also done their north london rivals arsenal a huge favour, by beating manchester city goal to nil. it means arsenal's lead. the night belonged to harry kane who is totten�*s all—time sports live score. when it comes to scoring goals, tottenham hotspur have been able to count on this man time after time. 15 minutes in, he had barely touched the ball, when pierre milloy buck intercepted and set up england captain to do what he does best. the

greatjimmy greaves scored 266 goals for spurs. this was came�*s 267th, and his 200 in the premier league. manchester city also had a record to break. they have never won in the stadium, or even scored a goal there. with the chance to close in at the top of the table, pep guardiola demanded more. he brought 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 for the defending champions. there was a little late drama, a second yellow card for cristian romero for this foul onjack yellow card for cristian romero for this foul on jack grealish. yellow card for cristian romero for this foul onjack grealish. spurs held on and it was to be harry kane's day. although it does mean his club's biggest rivals are still

five points clear of city. what might nottingham forest continued their surge up the premier league. forest are now six points clear of the relegation zone thanks to brennanjohnson�*s goal in the first whole half. first of made... of us whole half. first of made... of us who we know what the table situation is, and 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 change that internally to become willard's incentive find ways to lose. that is my full responsibility. its incentive find ways to lose. that is my full responsibility.— my full responsibility. its proper the first time _ my full responsibility. its proper the first time where _ my full responsibility. its proper the first time where we've - my full responsibility. its proper the first time where we've mayl my full responsibility. its proper i the first time where we've may be not played — the first time where we've may be not played great and got something out of _ not played great and got something out of the _ not played great and got something out of the game. they have been a lot of— out of the game. they have been a lot of games this year where we have

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. state man took victory in the irish champion hurdle by beating three—time winner honeysuckle at leopardstown. the favourite — trained by willie mullins and ridden by paul townend denied rachael blackmore's mount honeysuckle a fourth successive win. mullins said state man, who has five

consecutive wins over hurdles, "did everything right" in the race. that is all your spot for now. for more, see the bbc website.

like concrete or aircraft. scientists and engineers are trying to find ways to capture greenhouse gases from the atmosphere and store them away forever. the aim is the net result will be zero emissions, hence the name, net zero. back in 2019, the then prime minister, theresa may, made this promise. itruiiiiii theresa may, made this promise. will be theresa may, made this promise. ii. be ending our contribution to climate change by 2050, and legislating for a net zero emissions target. legislating for a net zero emissions taruet. �* ., , legislating for a net zero emissions taruet. 1, _., legislating for a net zero emissions taruet. i, ,_, _, target. boris johnson continued the effort and made _ target. boris johnson continued the effort and made climate _ target. boris johnson continued the effort and made climate policy - target. boris johnson continued the effort and made climate policy is i target. boris johnson continued the effort and made climate policy is a | effort and made climate policy is a cornerstone of his premiership. the uk cornerstone of his premiership. tie: uk government cornerstone of his premiership. t'te: uk government has cornerstone of his premiership. tt9: uk government has decided to cornerstone of his premiership. t“t9 uk government has decided to come the world leader in low—cost clean power generation, cheaper than coal, cheaper than gas. 9nd power generation, cheaper than coal, cheaper than gas.— cheaper than gas. and all the ma'or arties cheaper than gas. and all the ma'or parties have — cheaper than gas. and all the ma'or parties have put d cheaper than gas. and all the ma'or parties have put the i cheaper than gas. and all the ma'or parties have put the net i cheaper than gas. and all the ma'or parties have put the net zero i parties have put the net zero principle at the heart of their strategies. it's a rare consensus in british politics.— british politics. aberdeen is the oil and gas _ british politics. aberdeen is the oil and gas capital _ british politics. aberdeen is the oil and gas capital of _ british politics. aberdeen is the oil and gas capital of europe. i british politics. aberdeen is the l oil and gas capital of europe. let us resolve today to now make it the

they have been saying that the net zero plans are too big, too hasty, and most important, too expensive for voters to stomach. they claim to have up to 50 supporters in parliament, but wouldn't give us their names. the net zero scrutiny group says it isn't questioning whether climate change is real, but its leaders are closely associated with the think tank operating out of that building over there, the global warming policy foundation. it has been questioning the scientific consensus on climate change for years. the group says climate policy is a ticking time bomb in uk politics. is a ticking time bomb in uk olitics. ~ �* , :, , politics. we've been down this road before with — politics. we've been down this road before with brexit, _ politics. we've been down this road before with brexit, and _ politics. we've been down this road before with brexit, and that's i politics. we've been down this road before with brexit, and that's why l before with brexit, and that's why were warning will have a terrible political crisis if we don't sort it out. political crisis if we don't sort it out, ., ., : political crisis if we don't sort it out. :, ., ~ , , political crisis if we don't sort it out. ., ., ~ , , :, out. sound familiar? and guests who has taken uo — out. sound familiar? and guests who has taken up the _ out. sound familiar? and guests who has taken up the issue. _ out. sound familiar? and guests who has taken up the issue. we _ out. sound familiar? and guests who has taken up the issue. we want i out. sound familiar? and guests who has taken up the issue. we want a i has taken up the issue. we want a referendum _ has taken up the issue. we want a referendum on _ has taken up the issue. we want a referendum on whether _ has taken up the issue. we want a referendum on whether the i has taken up the issue. we want a

renewable energy? i'm not saying that. i am saying that if we think that. i am saying that if we think that by closing down british manufacturing, if we not producing our own gas, coal, that were somehow saving the world. it's a delusion, and an expensive one. we lead the world into the industrial revolution that created this huge production of carbon dioxide. why don't we lead the world out of it with new clean technology?— the world out of it with new clean technolo: ? �* , , :, technology? because number one, you can't do it. technology? because number one, you can't do it- you — technology? because number one, you can't do it. you can't _ technology? because number one, you can't do it. you can't do _ technology? because number one, you can't do it. you can't do it _ technology? because number one, you can't do it. you can't do it at _ technology? because number one, you can't do it. you can't do it at the i can't do it. you can't do it at the moment without the back—up of substantial amounts of fossil fuel. therefore the logic is, rather than import it, we may as well produce it ourselves. the point i am making, in this discussion with you, it's not that i'm saying global warming is a load of nonsense. it's not that i'm saying we should ignore our responsibilities to future generations. i'm not saying that. i am saying that what we do in the name of combat it, is making us

food, the things that that which normal life can't continue, there is an argument, for self—sufficiency. there is an argument of not being independent on the light dependent on foreign regimes. 50 independent on the light dependent on foreign regimes.— on foreign regimes. so interesting, like to think — on foreign regimes. so interesting, like to think she _ on foreign regimes. so interesting, like to think she is _ on foreign regimes. so interesting, like to think she is onto _ on foreign regimes. so interesting, | like to think she is onto something. as a movement forming? i am not so sure, but let's be honest, a political elite here in britain massively underestimated the popularity of brexit. could the call for a net zero referendum become the springboard for a political movement? estherwebber springboard for a political movement? esther webber has been following the story closely. it movement? esther webber has been following the story closely.— following the story closely. it does seem at the _ following the story closely. it does seem at the moment, _ following the story closely. it does seem at the moment, that - following the story closely. it does seem at the moment, that there l following the story closely. it does i seem at the moment, that there has been no real breakthrough or moment

that has seen the campaign explode or really hit home. say if you can contrast what has happened here with the gilets jaunes movement, contrast what has happened here with the giletsjaunes movement, which was driven by petrol prices. you have the personnel. there is a subset of the conservative party who are questioning how these policies are questioning how these policies are made, who has consented to them, just as there was with brexit. the campaigners are really looking at low income voters and trying to position them against what they call the cosy elite consensus. they are trying to use that same kind of

is the bbc�*s climate editor, i am often responsible for bringing some pretty terrifying warnings. warnings about the future of the places where we have built our lives, built our communities. which is why i have come to east yorkshire. this place already experiences some of the worst coastal erosion in europe, up to ten metres of coastline vanishes into the sea in a bad year. this is happening for a number of different reasons, but the rising sea levels and more extreme weather climate change will bring, are likely to make the problem worse. how we get to net zero is an open question. depending on who you ask, you might get a different answer. most politicians, from all the main parties agree, the need to get there. the science is clear on this.

reaching net zero, and fast, is our best hope of tackling climate change. hello. the weekend was a tale of two halves. we had a weather front with us and a lot of cloud on saturday. mild atlantic air sunday brought high pressure with us and clearer skies. now that high pressure stays with us for much of the week, but round the periphery of it, towards the north, as you can see, we�*ll see, well, cloudy skies at times, a weather front, windy weather as well, midweek. but for the most part, that high pressure keeps the weather fronts at bay,

particularly in the south where temperatures are falling away. a little bit of mist and fog as we head towards morning and around for the rush hour. but with a bit more cloud creeping in across the west of scotland and northern ireland, more limited our frost here, not for eastern scotland and a much colder start for england and wales, —3, —a in rural areas and some ice to scrape off the cars. but the fog should lift fairly readily and it looks like we�*ll have less high cloud around compared with sunday. so bright blue skies, but more limited brightness and sunshine for northern ireland and western scotland. after the frosty start in the east, though, we could see some sunshine lifting till ten across parts of scotland, ten in belfast. that�*s a little bit above average. further south, about average. now then as we go through monday evening and overnight, this weather front starts to take shape across scotland and northern ireland. so again, limiting ourfrost here, but not in the south. again, a cold night, —3 out in the sticks across countryside areas. for tuesday therefore, probably more more fog in southern areas and slower to clear. and it could stay grey and cold for much of the day in some parts. then we�*ve got that weak weather front slipping down across northern ireland and northern england, but brightening skies follow across scotland. so i actually think more sunshine

for the northwest of scotland compared with monday. then as we go into wednesday, those tightly packed isobars arrive, our weather front as well. we could have a spell of severe gale force winds towards the north later on wednesday, wednesday afternoon onwards, and it will bring with it then, wednesday night in particular, a spell of quite significant rain, hill snow. but further south, hopefully a bit more breeze just to lift that fog, less issues around, but certainly the prospect of some more in southern areas where the winds are a little bit lighter and again, a frosty start. so as we move into the latter part of the week, we�*ve got that chance of some rain in the north, but the high pressure ruling the roost for the south. so i think the main point about this week is that it�*s going to be largely dry away from scotland in particular, but there�*ll be some frost and fog in the mornings and chillier for a time on thursday.
