6:30 pm
you. it is a very rainy picture out there at the moment for most of us but very mild air is coming our way and temperatures in some spots will be in the mid—teens over the next couple of days. the satellite picture shows low—pressure out in the atlantic, the weather coming in from the south—west, there is a lot of soggy cloud and can see this bulge of warmth over the atlantic, this is the temperature of the atmosphere, the yellow colours, indicating the mild air and you can see the rain spreading across the uk, with some snow across the highlands at least for a time this evening. but by the end of the night it is mild pretty much across the board, all but the very far north of scotland. 10 degrees in london and belfast, and that is early in the morning. tomorrow, there will be some heavy showers in these areas across northern ireland, and there could even be some thunderstorms, but look at those temperatures, 1a
6:31 pm
in london, 13—14 along the north sea coast, and 15 or so in northern ireland. the low pressure is still with us on friday, a rather large area of low pressure, so i think on friday it will be of a bit of a mixed bag with sunny spells and heavy showers and possibly a crack of thunder. again, very mild. south—westerly winds. even the possibility of it getting up to 15-16 in possibility of it getting up to 15—16 in one or two spots. is it going to stay mild and wet? yes, it is, as far as the eye can see, into next week, temperatures in double figures, often cloudy, with rain at times. and that's all from me this evening. plenty more, as always, on our website. from the six team goodnight.
6:32 pm
hello, and welcome to sportsday, i'm hugh ferris. the headlines this evening... a 1% chance — butjurgen klopp says liverpool will give it a go anyway at real madrid tonight. this was his first — there would be four more. we look back at another record—breaking night for erling haaland. energumene wins back to back queen mother champion chases, lighting up a gloomy day two of the cheltenham festival. also coming up on sportsday... britain's number one is back on court at indian wells, with a semifinal place on the line. can anyone stop england in the women's six nations? the red roses are going forfive in a row.
6:33 pm
hello again. in the three—and—a—bit weeks since liverpool and real madrid met for the first time in the champions league last 16, it's been difficult to know what to expect from jurgen klopp�*s side. they thumped manchester united, but lost to bournemouth — but perhaps that unpredictability is their greatest weapon tonight in the bernabeu. the manager admitted after their 5—2 defeat at anfield last month the tie is all but over — but insists that even if there's only a 1% chance, they'll give the improbable comeback a try. 0ur football correspondent john murray is in madrid. it's match night outside the brenda pao, and liverpool need a footballing miracle. however, these sorts of footballing miracles are not unheard of, so i guess neighbour liverpool are trying to invoke the

6:36 pm
ahead of the game in naples. local authorities initially banned anyone from germany buying a ticket due to security fears, but adjusted that after losing a legal appeal to just those who are born in or resident in frankfurt. hundreds of eintracht supporters have been pictured clashing with police. napoli are 18 points clear at the top of the italian league. and at the heart of their stunning campaign is their georgian midfielder khvicha kvaratzkhelia. his national assistant coach, zurab khisanishivili, who's the last georgian to play in the premier league, has been telling the bbc�*s football news show about the man they've helpfully taken to calling "kvaradona". i know his father is an ex football player who is really good in georgia. i met him first time in the u21, i never saw anything like that before, a guy who loves the football — pitch and outside the pitch. he
6:37 pm
doesn't care, he doesn't give anything to adjust the ball. he's a very tough guy, my opinion is that the next cloak on the next step, if it's england, i'll be happy. —— the next club. because after me, no georgians in the premier league, so i'll be more happy. so you never know, what he'll decide or his agent. the most important is what his heart says. you might say that kvaratzkhelia is the most exciting 22—year—old in football right now — if it wasn't for this guy. erling haaland scored five for manchester city last night in their big champions league win over rb leipzig. that made him the youngest and fastest to reach 30 goals in the competition, and the norwegian already has 39 overall this season. it's only march, and he's
6:38 pm
on pace to score 60. dan 0gunshakin looks back on another night when haaland hit new heights. it took erling haaland just 57 minutes to write his name in the champions league record books last night. his five goals against rb leipzig earning him access to a very exclusive club. lionel messi achieved it in 2012, luiz adriano in 2014, as haaland followed in their goal—laden footsteps. the norwegian was denied a first—ever champions league double hat—trick, thanks to pep guardiola — a record that will have to wait for another day. if he achieves this record at 22—23, hill have time to do it in the future. a small crumb of comfort for leipzig head coach, marco rose, who was left dazed by haaland's record—breaking night. he had a great night, and he was so, so hungry _
6:39 pm
he had a great night, and he was so, so hungry. and, yeah. the youngest and fastest to 30 goals in europe's premier competition, haaland will now be targeting the champions league's greatest goal—scorers. atjust 22 years old, he has both youth and time on his side. he's closing in on the lights of gerd muller — he'll be close to little messy and cristiano ronaldo, lewandowski when his career finishes. he scored 33 again in 25 games. —— he's closing in on leonel massey. he's breaking messi's record with 91. -- massey. he's breaking messi's record with 91. —— of 91. messi's calendar—year record might be beyond reach — for now — but such is haaland's thirst for goals and improvement it might not last forever. whenever you're over a goal per, or even assists per 90/1, you're an incredible footballer, you're in the top 1% players in europe. so for haaland to do that now, he's up there with the guys in the 20s,
6:40 pm
messi and rinaldo are the legends of football. and i think if he develops into the forward he's being developed to be, he could be the best. speaking after the match, haaland said he can get better at everything — what he is already is something truly special. dan 0gunshakin, bbc news. two games in the premier league tonight, with both affecting an extraordinarily tight bottom half of the table. 0nly five points separate the nine teams from 12th to 20th, with southampton and crystal palace both playing. palace haven't had a win in 2023 as they prepare for rivals brighton. when you're looking at the record of this club in the last ten years, you know, it's always been around fighting to stay in the premier league. i'm surrounded by people who have been in the situation. so that kind of support is great for the club, but it's about maximising the
6:41 pm
potential of the clubs —— potential of the players we have in the club. it'll be difficult but we are sticking together. while palace are concerned about what's below them, southampton can only look up — and after two wins in their last four games, a chance to go as high as 15th, if they beat brentford at st mary's. in the moment that best month i've beenin in the moment that best month i've been in charge, i've been proud of the boys have been doing. we've had ups and downs but our performances have been strong. the reality is the reality and we still need to fight. so it's good that we've made points in the last four games — very good performances and some of the games — but we still have a long way to go. now to cheltenham, where there was a football link, too. brighton owner, tony bloom, provided the winner of the queen mother champion chase on day two of the festival for the second time in a row. energumene romped home on a rainy day at the course —
6:42 pm
where we can join our correspondent andy swiss. andy, anotherfeature race, another big win. it's been a soggy old day here at cheltenham, but it was anything but a soggy performance from energumene as he won the race for the second yearin as he won the race for the second year in the running. there were questions about energumene and the build up because he didn't look too impressive in his last race where he finished third. but there was certainly no doubt he would win the race, it was an extra ordinary performance from him as he charged clear to win by some ten lengths. a brilliant performance from energumene — written by paul town and, trained by willie mullins. as you mentioned, owned by the owner of brighton hove albion, and brighton have a game tonight against crystal palace, so we'll be hoping for another win in
6:43 pm
palace, so we'll be hoping for anotherwin in a palace, so we'll be hoping for another win in a few hours' time. he'll have some travelling to do to get through everything he needs today. it's been a week so far in a day of favourites, the cross—country chase. day of favourites, the cross-country chase. . �* , chase. that's right, the cross-country - chase. that's right, the cross-country chase - chase. that's right, the cross-country chase is l chase. that's right, the - cross-country chase is always chase. that's right, the _ cross-country chase is always one of cross—country chase is always one of the most interesting races of the cheltenham festival, and it was one alone for the second year running. your member of delta work edged out tiger roll, denying him what would've been a fairy tale ending to his career. today he edged out another stable in what was an exciting finish. another 1—2 in this race for irish trader gordon elliott. he hoped they would be heading to the grand national next month. ,., , , heading to the grand national next month. , , ., _, month. the gold cup is to come next frida , month. the gold cup is to come next friday. but — month. the gold cup is to come next friday. but apart _ month. the gold cup is to come next friday, but apart from _ month. the gold cup is to come next friday, but apart from an _ friday, but apart from an improvement in the weather, what are your expectations for tomorrow's highlights? pm your expectations for tomorrow's hiuuhlihts? . , ., highlights? an improvement in the weather would _ highlights? an improvement in the

6:45 pm
on serve to cameron norrie. he's the final british player left in the singles, afterjack draper and emma raducanu were both beaten by the tournament's number one seeds. raducanu lost to iga swiatek in straight sets, while draper's run was ended by carlos alcaraz, after the 21—year—old was forced to retire hurt with a stomach injury. russell fuller is in california and explained that draper wasn't fully fit heading into the last 16 match. he thought he would give it a go but when he started to serve flat out, the pain got worse and he was more and more restricted, and you could see his service speeds were dropping later in the first half. very disappointing for draper not to be able to challenge the us open champion at his best, and also continuing frustration because this has been an issue throughout his early career. has been an issue throughout his early career-— has been an issue throughout his earl career. ., ., ., early career. emma raducanu on the other hand overcame _ early career. emma raducanu on the other hand overcame her _ early career. emma raducanu on the other hand overcame her own - early career. emma raducanu on the other hand overcame her own injury | other hand overcame her own injury problems to get to the fourth—round stage — but she too beat by the

6:48 pm
grounds of nationality. that's russell fuller. _ one of the nfl's biggest off—season stories is reaching a conclusion — with quarterback aaron rodgers revealing he wants to leave the green bay packers to join the new yorkjets. rodgers has been at the packers his entire 18—year career, winning the super bowl once and has considered retiring in recent years — but he's revealed his intention is to carry on playing and be traded to the jets. the terms of the deal are still to be agreed, with the four—time mvp likely to cost a number of draught picks. you're watching sportsday. let's have a quick look at some of the other stories making the headlines today. former england and chelsea goalkeeper carly telford has announced her retirement from the game. telford was part of the side that won the shebelieves cup in 2019, and also played for sunderland, leeds and notts county — as well as stints in australia and, more recently, america. charles leclerc will start this weekend's saudi arabian grand prix with a ten—place grid penalty, after retiring from the season's
6:49 pm
opening race in abu dhabi. his ferrari suffered problems with the electronics control unit, with leclerc going over his permitted allocation of ecus. at the oldest classic race in the world, milano—torino, dutch rider arvid de kleijn claimed victory to give his swiss team tudor pro cycling their first win in the event. mark cavendish won the event last year, but he couldn't finish in the top ten today. and great britain's first appearance at the world baseball classic is over. they've been knocked out after losing 2—1 to mexico, in phoenix. they will though qualify for the next tournament if the usa beat colombia in tonight's late game. the women's six nations has been dominated by england in recent years, and they'll attempt to maintain that in this year's tournament after their run to the world cup final in november. but even in the face of that challenge, the other teams have reason to hope the gap to the red roses might close, as sara 0rchard reports.
6:50 pm
we are in a very trendy corner of east london for this women's six nations launch, where the captains and players have been talking a lot and players have been talking a lot a social media creators, having their photos done, mixing with journalists and reporters as well about how they'll go in the championship this year. one of the big talking points is the fact that every country taking part for the very first time will have either professional or semi professional players— and for scotland, they are the earliest country on that journey, having only given out their contacts in december.— contacts in december. feeling sli . htl contacts in december. feeling slightly less — contacts in december. feeling slightly less tired _ contacts in december. feeling slightly less tired all _ contacts in december. feeling slightly less tired all the - contacts in december. feeling j slightly less tired all the time, which has been really incredible in terms of the impact it has on your training. ithink terms of the impact it has on your training. i think i've got more out of the last year, really, in terms of the last year, really, in terms of training than ever before. it’s of training than ever before. it's definitely growing, they've put in the challenge squad, so we can have six players _ the challenge squad, so we can have six players coming from that this year _ six players coming from that this year so— six players coming from that this year. so hopefully that will grow

6:52 pm
happened. like, ithink that there would be if something happened. like, i think it'sjust a whole scenario that is controllable and we've made that change, we've made that less of a concern or to not have as much of a concern for a female athlete. you can see it on social media, everyone is really relishing the change and the girls are happy, as well, so it's only a positive for us.— positive for us. the “ewel in the round positive for us. the “ewel in the ground this h positive for us. the “ewel in the ground this year i positive for us. the “ewel in the ground this year is i positive for us. the jewel in the ground this year is arguably i ground this year is arguably the final match between england and france at twickenham. it'll be the very first time, it's a stand—alone women's fixture at that venue. they've sold 36,000 tickets but there are hopes that number will rise significantly once the tournament gets under on 25 march. the chancellor has confirmed in the budget that £63 million will be made available for leisure centres with swimming pools in england, with the fund intended to help facilities stay open in the face of mounting energy bills. figures compiled by uk active injanuary showed more than 350 in the uk have closed or made changes to their services in the past year. i've been getting the reaction
6:53 pm
of olympic diving medallist leon taylor. 0bviously delighted. every little bit helps. 0bviously 0bviously delighted. every little bit helps. obviously there will be still challenges ahead, but £63 million, certainly 23 million in the initial phase and 43 in the long term —— a0 million. initial phase and a3 in the long term —— a0 million. all that's been happening in the last few years, so many ledgers having to shut their doors due to rising costs, hopefully this will go some way to assisting those so they can maintain their services notjust those so they can maintain their services not just for those so they can maintain their services notjust for elite those so they can maintain their services not just for elite athletes like myself, once upon a time like many sports people out there, but for the wider community. swimming makes up such an important part of the community and people's activities, so we really need to fight hard to support the leisure industry. our physical health, of course, is massively important. we
6:54 pm
know that physical activity is important, and even more so these days, we are in a mental health epidemic. there are so many issues across all the population, and we can take some steps towards writing this storm, the cost of living crisis, cost of energy, by looking after ourselves physically and mentally. the fact that there's this sense of community and you can socialise as well as being physically active, that's so good mentally, physically and emotionally stop what you hear anecdotal evidence about the kinds of things the leisure centres in evidence about the kinds of things the leisure centre— the leisure centres in the pools that are staying _ the leisure centres in the pools that are staying open, - the leisure centres in the pools that are staying open, but i the leisure centres in the pools that are staying open, but at i the leisure centres in the pools i that are staying open, but at much reduced abilities to offer what they normally would, so the pools may be heated a little bit less, that opening hours might be more difficult for more people to go swimming for. there are compromises to be had, but still, you would rather that they have the full ability to do the full service for as many people as possible?
6:55 pm
absolutely. we can only do what we can do. whatever resources are available, as individuals and facilities, as managers and staff, you know, the whole population, we've got to lean in and do what we can. so we will do what we can for the money, it probably won't go the full distance that it needs to, but whatever we've got, we really need to make it count. so that's all of our responsibility, so let's get down to support these centres and really make all the efforts they are making worthwhile. his nickname's rocky, and his story isn't too dissimilar. british fighter leon edwards is preparing for what's been billed as the biggest british mma fight in history — a third meeting with pound—for—pound great kamaru usman at ufc 286 in london, on saturday. edwards became just the second british champion in the sport's history when he beat usman last august — and he's never let the belt stray very far from his reach.
6:56 pm
is there something special? no, i across the table from them and thinking, "it's mad." for me, i've already won in life, you know? to be born injamaica in a wooden shack, to becoming the us world champion — that's never been done in the history of the sport. so i've already one. i'm able to provide my family, by my son whatever he wants. this is just to secure my legacy. going into the second fight, i'm writing high in confidence, he was the pound—for—pound guy in the world, and i knocked him down clean. i remember rocky for my school days.
6:57 pm
