this is bbc news. the headlines... politicians in iran are reacting to the flouting of headscarf laws by women — by insisting the rules must be enforced rigorously byjudges. russia has assumed the rotating presidency of the un security council for the month of april — a role described by ukraine's foreign minister as a slap in the face to the international community. in the uk, the port of dover has declared a critical incident with up to 70 coaches delayed overnight as they tried to cross to france. port authorities cited french border controls and bad weather for the hold—ups. at least eleven people have died after severe weather hit parts

of the united states. there've been powerful tornadoes in the southern state of arkansas, killing three people and injuring twenty others. you're watching bbc news. now it's time for sportsday. hello and welcome to sportsday. i'm gavin ramjaun. city's best ever performance under pep according to guardiola after a 4—1win against rivals liverpool. whatever city do — arsenal seem equal to, with striker gabrieljesus back among the scorers. it's heartbreak for harlequins as they leave their comeback too late against stormers in rugby union's champions cup. also coming up on sportsday... after a difficult start to the formula one season, british drivers george russell and lewis hamilton are on the up down under.

and it's all on the line for anthonyjoshua — win or bust for him againstjermaine franklin at the 02 tonight. welcome to sportsday. it's been packed day back in the premier league today — with plenty of goals to savour as the action resumed after the international break. manchester city got things off to a flier, with an emphatic 4—1win over rivals liverpool, whose hopes of securing a champions league place appear ever more challenging. a champions league place appear ben croucher reports. a champions league place appear whatever a champions league place appear the allegiance, v the whatever the allegiance, wherever the title may end up, after the international pause, the premier league returned with a treat, manchester city and liverpool in modern times has become a title decider. whilst liverpool may not be in this year's race, they could have

a big say still. as is often the case at this time of the season, though, city pulled it back. julian alvarez on target, no haaland, no problem. liverpool's top scorer may have been absent, but you would not have known it. this was a city performance in harmony, in complete control. jack grealish rounded off a flowing team move, and took their unbeaten run to 11 matches, hitting form atjust the right time. the race is still on, although liverpool are a long way off it. ben croucher, bbc news. so a huge win for city then, against a team they're used to competing with at the top — but haven't reached the usual heights this season. the loss for liverpool leaves them seven points off the champions league positions. manchester city boss pep guardiola called it his team's best ever display, in his seven years in charge.

at the end, it was almost a perfect performance. 0—1 down, we were playing good, and jack made a good save for the potential of two. in general the way we played in the way we found our spaces in the way we defend, the intensity, high pressing. we stick to the plan, and they were good, always. we had moments, always, but in general, — we had moments, always, but in general, how we lose, 3—1 down is a difficult _ general, how we lose, 3—1 down is a difficult place to be, and they are playing _ difficult place to be, and they are playing well, but there was nothing any more _ playing well, but there was nothing any more there. four players played any more there. four players played an ok _ any more there. four players played an ok game, and all the rest were somewhere, and we cannot do that, we have to _ somewhere, and we cannot do that, we have to change that. so city cut the gap just for the time being then — after leaders arsenal returned in style to the emirates, to blow away leeds united four goals to one this afternoon —

and an afternoon to remember for gabrieljesus. the former man city player scored his first goals since october last year — with two of their goals today, the first a penalty to the gunners up at half time. they took control after the break with goals from ben white and jesus with his second. granit xhaka made it four after leeds — nowjust a point above the relegation zone — pulled one back. the bbc�*sjonathan pearce spoke to the managers afterwards. it has been a concerning few days, because some of the players were unavailable, we couldn't decide until this morning the line—up, and it is always having the right state of mind after an international break to come back to the premier league, and i'm really happy with the performance. that is 100 victories as arsenal manager in all competitions. thank ou ve manager in all competitions. thank you very much. _ manager in all competitions. thank you very much. it — manager in all competitions. thank you very much, it is _ manager in all competitions. thank you very much, it is a _ manager in all competitions. thank you very much, it is a beautiful- you very much, it is a beautiful number and let's go for the next one. i number and let's go for the next one. ~' number and let's go for the next one. ~ . ., , ., one. i think we competed well from the beginning- _

credit, and i think the scoreline doesn't flatter us. we will obviously take the three points, — we will obviously take the three points, but right up until that moment, _ points, but right up until that moment, it is football. you've got to concentrate right the way through the game, _ to concentrate right the way through the game, got to be strong and be resolute. — the game, got to be strong and be resolute, and if you can't win the game, _ resolute, and if you can't win the game, then— resolute, and if you can't win the game, then don't lose it. that last 30 seconds, — game, then don't lose it. that last 30 seconds, we've just got to defend better— 30 seconds, we've just got to defend better and _ 30 seconds, we've just got to defend better and do the basics well, and if you _ better and do the basics well, and if you do— better and do the basics well, and if you do that, you get the result. bournemouth are out of drop zone after they came from behind to beat fulham — whose european charge seems to be losing some steam. the visitors took the lead, thanks to an early goal from andreas pereira. bournemouth turned things around in the second half — marcus tavernier and dominic solanke gave them the vital three points at the vitality. it was just bournemouth's third win since november. we had a tough start, and hugo 1—0 down at home in a big game, it is a real test of character and belief,

and the lads showed everything that you need to to give yourself a chance in a relegation scrap, and they were incredible from that moment where we managed to wrestle back some control, should probably have scored one in the first half, had some good chances, but made a couple of changes at half—time and went on to win the game, deservedly so. daniel podence's first goal since mid january saw wolves come from behind to draw one all at nottingham forest. a point a piece means they stay 13th and 14th respectively. forest are just two points clear of the relegation zone. brighton and brentford are both above liverpool in the league after a thirilling 3—3 encounter. alexis mac allister scored a last—minute penalty as brighton fought back three times at the amex stadium. i think now we are in a position that— i think now we are in a position that we — i think now we are in a position that we have one more, as a club team, _ that we have one more, as a club teanr, it — that we have one more, as a club teanr, it is — that we have one more, as a club team, it is frustrating not to win, but at _ team, it is frustrating not to win, but at the — team, it is frustrating not to win, but at the same time, when you

cannot— but at the same time, when you cannot win, _ but at the same time, when you cannot win, it's nice not to lose. so we _ cannot win, it's nice not to lose. so we have _ cannot win, it's nice not to lose. so we have one point, which is not enough. _ so we have one point, which is not enough. as— so we have one point, which is not enough. as i— so we have one point, which is not enough, as i said, but we have a lot of games— enough, as i said, but we have a lot of games to — enough, as i said, but we have a lot of games to go. so confirmation of those results then — with arsenal maintaining their eight point lead at the top, having played a game more than manchester city. chelsea in action in the late game — against aston villa. they are losing 0—1 in the second half of that match. 0llie watkins with the goal for aston villa. could be a problem for chelsea at the end of the day. so confirmation then of arsenal's lead at the top — back to 8 points, after that comfortable win over leeds. city with a game in hand though. that entertaining match between brighton and brentford, leaves them both still very much in the hunt for european places still as fulham lose ground, following their result at bournemouth. and it's so tight at the bottom — just five points between leicester, who fall into the drop zone — palace in 12th... that win for them giving a valuable cushion. vital points for bournemouth too —

they're in the mix with forest and wolves. the two bottom sides — 19th placed west ham and southampton — are in action tomorrow. with everton playing spurs on monday. the race for promotion to the top flight is hotting up in the championship. luton town won their derby against watford 2—0 to strengthen their grip on a play—off place. the kenilworth road side are still in touch with what would be a remarkable finish in the automatic promotion spots. meanwhile, mick mccarthy's blackpool were beaten 3—1 by neighbours preston in the lancashire derby at deepdale. blackpool stay in the relegation zone with that result, and are running out of games to prevent a return to the third tier. preston are five points off the play—off places. and in the other games, sheffield united keep their momentum up beating play—off chasing norwich. particularly as third placed middlesbrough lost 4—2 to strugglers huddersfield. elsewhere, a big win for bottom side wigan against qpr. and swansea scored in the ninth minute of stoppage time,

to win 3—2 at rivals cardiff. those results mean sheffield united have really strengthened their grip on the second automatic promotion place. burnley drew 0—0 with sunderland last night. blackburn's defeat at birmingham means their play—off place is still at risk, but they are still in sixth, with norwich, coventry and west brom trying to catch them. huddersfield's win coupled with that defeat for cardiff in the south wales derby means neil warnock�*s side have given themselves a real chance of surviving. wigan's win at qpr also keeps them in with a chance despite that points deduction keeping them bottom. motherwell continued their resurgence under manager stuart kettlewell as they convincingly beat hibs 3—1 away from home in the scottish premiership. sean goss�* stunning free—kick afterjust seven minutes gave them the perfect start and then kevin van veen secured the win with another free kick. it's their fourth win in six games under kettlewell.

malik tillman showed why rangers are desperate to keep him beyond the summer as the on—loan midfielder scored twice in a 2—0 win against dundee united. kilmarnock held on with ten men for the final half hour to beat hearts 2—1 and move six points clear of the bottom of the table. aberdeen are just one point from third after a 1—0 victory against stjohnstone. and st mirren won 3—0 against livingston. manchester united have gone three points clear at the top of the women's super league after beating brighton this lunchtime. leah galton headed the visitors in front early on before adding a second midway through the second half. substitutes rachel williams and lucia garcia scored late on to make it 4—0. the victory sees united go ahead of manchester city having played one game more with city playing arsenal tomorrow. brighton are nowjust two points above the relegation zone. still to come on sportsday... we'll have all the latest from the women's six nations,

where france play an hour with 1a players against ireland but still come out on top. and a bulked—up anthonyjoshua is just hours away from one of the biggest fights of his career to date in london againstjermaine franklin. to rugby union now — and the last—16 matches of the champions cup continue this weekend. premiership side harlequins left it late against stormers in south africa — but their late tries weren't enough as they exit the competition. craig templeton reports. in the shadow of table mountain, knockout champions cup rugby comes to cape town for the first time. and for harlequins, it was looking a tall order inside the first minute. that's 36—year—old front row dionne fury, and he has no right to be that quick. but one try isn't insurmountable, and if the opener was about pace, then quins response was about pace, then quins response was about pace, then quins response was about power. england's alex

dombrandt putting a difficult six nations behind him. the side would soon be behind again, the stormers captain stephen kitsch of giving the south african is a five—point lead. then they took complete control. a tournament harlequins are saying goodbye to, they managed to run in late tries but it was too much of a mountain to climb. earlier, the sharks were the first of the two south african sides through — they produced a dominant display to defeat munster 50—35 in the champions cup to book their quarterfinal place. they'll play exeter chiefs or montpellier in the next round. two matches ongoing at the moment as well. leinster taking on ulster where it's 16—8 to leinster. meanwhile, reigning champions la rochelle are 22—15 against gloucester. there was a dominant win for france over ireland in the women's six nations.

despite having a player sent offjust 20 minutes in, the french ran in nine tries in cork. it finished 53—3 to the away side, who were looking to keep up their perfect record having narrowly beaten italy in their first match. it's ireland's second heaviest defeat in the championship. they also lost heavily last week to wales. wales are playing scotland in edinburgh live on bbc two right now. wales looking to keep up their 100% record after that win over ireland last week. they got the opening try in this match and did extend that lead, but scotland have closed the gap back to two points at the break. wales though, have just opened up their lead again. and these are the live pictures now. as you can see there, it is 19—10 now as they look to keep up their momentum in the six nations, and scotland havejust momentum in the six nations, and scotland have just scored!

momentum in the six nations, and scotland havejust scored! the momentum in the six nations, and scotland have just scored! the gap is closed. 15—19 as it is there, around 30 minutes or so to go in that match there, over on bbc two to catch the action. super league leaders warrington were ruthless in recording a seventh consecutive win as they crushed hull fc by 3a points to 6. matt dufty�*s lung—bursting run in the 31st minute ended in the pick of the six tries for the wolves at the halliwelljones stadium. the victory saw warrington match their best start to a super league season. hull have now lost their past five games. in the day's other match catalan dragons are leading castleford tigers. its 22-18. max verstappen bounced back from his disappointment last time out in saudi arabia, to claim pole for sunday's australian grand prix. but it was a day of mixed fortunes for his red bull team, and there was a surprise comeback for one of their rivals, as nick parrott reports. things can change quickly in the fast moving world of formula 1. a fortnight ago, sergio perez was on

top of the world after winning the saudi arabian grand prix, but he was brought back down to earth down under. the mexican couldn't even set a time in qualifying in melbourne. it's really disappointing. but nothing i can do now. got to look forwards, and i really hope we are able to fix the technical issue for tomorrow, because otherwise it will be really hard to race like this. max verstappen's biggest challenge was this one, the bird and the red bull both spared damage. the drivers behind were george russell and mercedes team—mate lewis hamilton claiming second and third on the grid. radio: ., ., ., grid. radio: ., radio: not too shabby! the performance - radio: not too shabby! the performance has i radio: not too shabby! i the performance has been radio: not too shabby! _ the performance has been getting better and better, and i think it is just a matter of the fact of the team doing a greatjob to maximise the setup, to maximise what we have

he's the most expensive cricketer ever at the ipl, and sam curran started the season with punjab kings with a win against the kolkata knight riders in a rain affected game. curran scored an unbeaten 26 after bhanuka rajapaksa scored a half century. the kings made 191. he also took the key wicket of andre russell as the knight riders won by seven runs. in tennis, jannik sinner came from a set down to claim a shock win over top seed carlos alcaraz in the miami open semi—finals. the italian overcame the spaniard 6—7, 6—4, 6—2 to book a meeting with russia's daniil medvedev in the final. the loss ends alcaraz�*s brief return as world number one, with novak djokovic set to regain top spot on monday. former world number one medvedev became the first player since 1981 to reach a fifth consecutive atp final after beating fellow russian karen khachanov. it came 2a hours on from wimbledon's decision to allow russian and belarusian players to compete

at sw19 this summer. and that's something medvedev addressed after the match. the world number five, who's previously won the us open, said, "i'm happy to know about this. "i always said that if i can play wimbledon, i will be really happy to be there. "it's a tournament i love. "that's the only slam where i haven't been in the quarterfinals yet. "and i cannot say i hate grass. "i really want to do well there." well, let's get some more on that issue now — tournament organisers have been responding to calls from the ukraine foreign minister dmytro kuleba, who has described the u—turn by wimbledon as "immoral". and called on the uk government to deny visas for russian and belarusian players. that remains somewhat of a concern, but the government guidance on the approach to the neutrality declarations is very much focused on trying to reduce that as much as

impossible. —— as much as possible. it doesn't come down to money. there are a range of factors as i have explained in the way we have gone about making our decision, particularly at the ability for those players to compete with a neutrality declaration we feel is viable this year. a massive night of boxing this evening, but there's sad news because ken buchanan, scotland's first undisputed world champion and arguably the country's greatest boxer, has died at the age of 77. having turned professional in 1965, buchanan memorably won the wba lightweight world title by dethroning panama's ismael laguna in the scorching heat of puerto rico in 1970. that same year, the scot was the american boxing writers' association's fighter of the year, ahead ofjoe frazier and muhammad ali. he generally fought the best of the best and _ he generally fought the best of the best and won, and in really hard

with young people, they see us as just a uniform, a robot, if you will. so basketball, when i was younger, it wasn't as popular as it is now. so it's starting to get a lot more popular. and the kids love it. they really love it. most people usually associate police officers with like crime and everything. police aren't always bad. they are good people. when you see someone like kyp jump that high, it makes basketball look more entertaining. kyp, as everyone calls him, is a south london schools officer. this is the southbank university academy. we know that policing in london right now is under real scrutiny. we hear a lot about the urgent need to rebuild, build trust. building trust, essentially, that's what's happening on this court right here. when i would come into schools, kids would say, you know, you're not a police officer. or they would say to me, oh, you don't seem like a police officer. so i used to say, "well, how is this police officer meant to be?" and just having that rapport and building that trust with them that they were then able to come and talk to me, ask me questions,

educate them about the law. one, two, three, hard work! kyp used to train with professionals, could have been one. he was recently a guest at the london lions of the british basketball league. nothing commands respect quite like a slam dunk. has he inspired you, all of you, to actually dunk? yes. yeah. have you tried it? yeah. because if kyp can dunk... we can dunk. he's one officer in one gym. but if pc kyp makes a difference, well, then he's made his point. joe wilson, bbc news, south london. he is rather good, isn't he? that's all from sportsday. a quick reminder that the chelsea aston villa match is going on. chelsea and real trouble, two goals down, john mcguinness added to ollie watkins first for villa. updates from that on the bbc sport website.

we will see you later on. hello there. the met office confirmed that last month of march was indeed a very wet month, pretty much across the country, but especially across england and wales. and we ended the month on a damp, windy, wet note with a deep area of low pressure which has been pulling away gradually. so the next few days, certainly for the first week of april, it's looking quieter as high pressure starts to build in to bring you some sunshine as well. but the legacy left behind by that area of low pressure means it will hold on to quite a lot of cloud. further spots of rain this evening across western scotland, northern ireland. but through the night it will turn drive for many. we'll see the clouds tending to break up with clear spells developing where skies clear. it will turn quite chilly under the cloud with more of a breeze in the southeast as well. then no low than 5 to 7 degrees. you can see this area of high pressure starting to build in.

across the uk. we lose the low pressure system which will pull away from the southeast, taking the fresh northeasterly breeze with it through the day on sunday. so we'll see the clouds melting away across many areas. it could hold on, though, across central northern scotland, maybe the odd shower here. but most places will be dry, increasing sunshine, so feeling a bit warmer away from north sea coast, which will still feel quite chilly with an onshore breeze there. but the winds become even lighter across all areas through sunday night. and with clear skies, it's going to be a recipe for quite a cold night. by the end of the night, it will turn chilly enough for a touch of frost in places, some subzero values, particularly out of towns and cities. but it means as we head into monday, the start of the first working week of april, with high pressure overhead, it's going to be fine and dry. it's going to be a cold start, some frost around, early mist and fog, which will tend to lift in clare. and then most places will be dry with plenty of sunshine, including much of the north

of scotland and also northern ireland winds coming in from the southeast. so again, cooler around some southern and eastern coast, but further west with the sunshine around after that cold start, it could be up to around 13 degrees. a bit of a blip in the weather around the middle part of the week. we see a high pressure retreat allowing these weather fronts to bring some wind, cloud and rain to northern and western areas for a time. but then it looks like high pressure wants to build back in towards the end of the week and indeed for the run up to the easter weekend. so all in all, i think for many, particularly southern and eastern areas, it should stay fine, dry, unsettled.
