here's what's coming up on the programme: manchester city see off bayern munich in the champions league. next up, a mouthwatering clash against real madrid in semi—finals. the other semi is an all—italian affair as inter milan beat benfica to set up a milan derby in the last four. and a maximum 147 break for kyren wilson. he's only the ninth player in history to achieve it at the crucible — and it could earn him nearly $70,000. hello and thanks forjoining us. welcome to the programme. let's start with the champions league as we now know the semi—final line—up. manchester city will play real madrid after completing thejob in germany against bayern munich in their quarter—final, while it's inter against ac

milan in the other semi, after inter held off benfica. joe lynskey watched the action unfold and joins us now. good to see you. man city had a commanding lead coming in to this second leg and got thejob done in munich? professionaljob from manchester city in an intimidating place at the allianz arena, drawing 1—1 with bayern munich on the night, but the 3—0 lead they built up in manchester in the first leg, more than enough to see them through this quarter—final and the semi—final to play real madrid, who beat them at the same stage in this competition last year. it could have been more comfortable for city if erling haaland scored from the penalty spot in the first half, but rare for him, he let the pressure get to him and skied it over the crossbar. bayern munich had a chance to close the three—goal gap but haaland made amends for that miss in the second half with his 48th goal in all competitions,

extending the record for a premier league player in one campaign. bayern munich scored a late penalty but it was too late by then, city into the last four to face real madrid. and pep guardiola on the prospect of that match said that, "i had a feeling "we would see them. "wow. "all clubs know, if you want to win the champions league, "you have to beat real madrid." looking forward to the semi—final. the other quarter—final was a goal fest, but inter milan came through. real scenes ofjubilation for inter milan at the san siro this evening, drew 3—3 on the night with benfica, the portuguese champions, but like manchester city they had a commanding lead from the first leg, a two—goal advantage, enough to see them through 5—3 on aggregate, and it was second—half goals from their argentine pair, lautaro martinez and joaquin correa that made this comfortable for inter in the second half, giving them a 3—1 lead and have set up the tantalising semi—final, as you say, against city rivals ac milan, who they met in the knockout

of the league before, the last time in 2005 when ac milan won in the quarterfinals, going on to play the famous final which they lost to liverpool. they also met in the semi—finals in 2003 which ac milan also won. close between them at the moment, ac milan fourth into fifth, it'll be quite a double—header at the san siro next month for the milan derby. the business end of the competition is exciting. joe, thank you very much. tiger woods has undergone more ankle surgery to treat arthritis caused by a previous injury. woods — who's now 47 — had to pull out of the masters midway through the third round earlier this month, which he attributed to a foot injury. he now looks highly likely to miss next month's us pga championship. the masters was the fifth tournament woods has played since a car accident in february 2021. he's completed 72 holes just

twice in those five events. kyren wilson provided the highlight on day five of the world snooker championship in sheffield, with the first 147 maximum break of this year's tournament. he was taking on ryan day in the opening round — this is how wilson finished off the frame, achieving what is only the 13th 147 in the tournament's history. if no—one matches it, he stands to earn nearly $70,000 in additional prize money. wilson went on to win the match 10 frames to five. he'll face four time championjohn higgins next. facetime with my kids, they got home from school and sophie said to me that bailey and anthony both ran out of their classes and give her a big hug because the school was kind enough to put on for them. that was awesome. not such good news for last year's runner—up and 2019 championjudd trump — he's out.

trump's been in poorform of late and had no answer to scotland's anthony mcgill, who won 10 frames to 6. mcgill will play his friend jack lisowski in the second round. australia have named a few surprise inclusions in their squad ahead of this summer's ashes in england. david warner will be there, despite his recent poor run of form and — for the first time in three years — mitchell marsh has been included in the 17—player squad for the first two tests. earlier our reporter jane dougall spoke to australian cricket broadcaster adam collins and began by asking, what was behind warner's inclusion? his record in england is pretty poor, it was disastrous in 2019 when stuart broad had the wood over him, but as a whole they want the experience of what i hear, but i draw a distinction between the world championship between australia and india before the ashes, i can see a world where warner plays that and retires or might even be

left out of the ashes squad, so it's no short think he will play against england even though he will be in the country. are you concerned there is a lack of bowling depth, only four seamers included, is that a gamble? it's definitely a departure from what they went with in 2019, so they had six seamers and roated five of them in test matches. the idea was they wanted a squad mentality, they didn't want to exhaust the bowlers and it went well. the difference this time is they are comfortable with, is leading the attack, the experience of starc and his award and of scott boland, their logic as that the need to call a fast bowler, michael nesser down the road playing in wales. england have won their last nine of their last 11 tests. and added to that, australia have not won a series in england since 2001. confident? the revolution has been pretty special, the numbers you detail there, every metric you choose to point out, they've changed test cricket.

we should be so lucky to have a test series that goes all the way to the wire with the australian side on paper at least the best in the world and the resurgent england side. i can't think of an ashes series that's better placed since 2005. there's four days to go now until this year's london marathon. participants about now are probably winding down training and beginning to carb—load ahead of the 42—kilometre course. but what about those taking part who are observing ramadan and have to fast for up to 15 hours a day? haroon moota from muslim runners has been speaking to lydia campbell about his motivations behind running the marathon, while training during ramadan. this i am haroon moota and i am running the london marathon. experienced runner haroon will line up in london alongside around 50,000 other people, but for muslims running the race to the capital this year they have had an extra challenge to content. training for the london marathon has been tough.

it's the first time training for a marathon during the month of fasting, but i feel really strong. i'm in a very positive mental state and i can't wait to run a marathon on 23 april, just a day after ramadan. ramadan is the month of fasting in islam, and adult muslims, where able, will abstain from food and water during daylight hours. this year the final month of training for the marathon has taken place during ramadan. that means getting up just after 4am and fueling your body not only for the day ahead but for long training runs. often people think that ramadan is just about being hungry and thirsty, but to be honest it's not. when you think of the purpose that you are doing this is a form of obedience to god, you want to reach the end of ramadan feeling spiritually nourished. but as well as the spiritual benefits of fasting, it can also have physical benefits.

a fast of eight or more hours puts your body in what experts refer to as a fasted state and training than can actually make the body more efficient. when we exercise in a fasted state, we utilise more fats for energy compared to carbohydrates, so that can bring some potential benefits. you could potentially exercise for a bit longer using your fat stores more, and sparing your glycogen, your carbohydrate stores, which we know if we deplete during a marathon, you kind of hit the wall as it is called. exercise rates among south asians in britain are low, so another motivation for haroon is inspiring his community into sport. when i first started to run, i'll be honest and say it was very lonely, i travelled to different cities running half marathons and marathons and you could count on your fingers

or sometimes not count at all the number of people, minorities in race participation. things have changed a lot but there is more to do. people who never dreamed of competing 26.3 miles, to see them go to the start line itself is a massive achievement, and how much that also normalises running for our community, that's the biggest value and appreciation that i have. for haroon, this has not just been about running a marathon. it's been about breaking down barriers and encouraging his community to get involved in exercise during the month of ramadan. lydia campbell, bbc news. that's all from the world of sport for now. see you next time. hello there. high pressure is continuing

to bring a lot of dry, settled, sunny weather throughout the day for most areas on thursday, but like the last few days, we've got a keen easterly wind out there. that's taking the edge off. the temperatures will be noticeably chilly along north sea coasts and there will be some rain at times and more cloud across south—east england courtesy of this weather front, which will move in off the near continent. you'll notice there's a slight blue hue to the air mass, indicating that the air is quite chilly as well. so when you factor in the strong wind and slightly cooler air, then it will be a little bit fresher across the board. however, most places starting off dry, widespread sunshine and much of the country will stay dry and sunny all day. but then we'll see that area of cloud and some splashes of rain pushing into east anglia in the south—east during the afternoon. it's here where the winds will be quite gusty as well. so with a lack of sunshine here and the gusty winds, it'll actually feel on the cool side now. now certainly cool along north sea coast, nine or 10 degrees at best, but head further inland — it's the low to mid—teens or the warmest spots again, western scotland, the high teens, maybe even more

than that. and like the last few days with the dry and sunny weather, tree pollen will be high or very high for many of us. so as we head through thursday evening and overnight that area, clouds, splashes of rain in the south—east starts to migrate westwards across much of england and also wales. whereas the northern half of the country will see clearer skies, slightly lighter winds. so another chilly one here. less cold, though, where we have the cloud, the rain and also the stronger breeze. so for friday, some changes for england and wales. we've got a number of weather fronts bringing more cloud outbreaks of rain, whereas scotland, northern ireland poking out into the high pressure. we'll have yet another dry and sunny day. pretty decent temperatures for western scotland, but england and wales will see outbreaks of rain. longer spells of rain, northern england, showery in nature, i think parts of wales, central and southern england, a little bit of sunshine in between. but with more cloud and showers around, that'll impact the temperatures 10—13 degrees here, whereas again, another fairly warm one for parts of scotland. but it is all change as we head into the weekend. lower pressure starts to bring

more unsettled weather for a time. and as that low clears into the north sea, it opens the floodgates to a cold arctic northerly. so a much colder spell expected, particularly towards the end of the weekend and into next week. but you can see those temperatures beginning to fall across the north of the uk.
