the first leg of their champions league semi—final. city are top of the premeir league, they have an fa cup final to come injune and are three games away from lifting the only trophy that's so far eluded pep guardiola during his time at the etihad. olly foster reports from madrid. they've been here before almost exactly a year ago when real madrid knocked them out at the same stage. that was one of the most extraordinary matches in the history of the champions league, the spaniards with injury time goals and an extra time winner, but manchester city and their manager come armed this time. we have haaland. best striker in the world. that's what's different. he will get two, we . are going to win 4—0. is your voice going to hold out until the match? i don't think so, no! nobody has made such an impact on the english game in their debut season — 51 goals and counting, the "striking viking" keeping city ahead in the title race. tonight, he leads the line

against the european champions. well, haaland certainly won't have any, but what about those other manchester city players who might be carrying some of the scars of what happened here 12 months ago at the bernabeu stadium? the manager says that if they've got any chance of reaching the final they've got to put all that behind them. what happened in the past is in the past. we are not here for revenge. it's just another opportunity. as much as we are here, one day we will get it. one day we will reach the final and we will win it. we come here to do this this season. it's going to be incredibly emotional. nick porter is with pep on that. after 50 years watching city together, he lost his father ten days ago. he told me three months ago, said, "i've just got this "feeling, i've just got this feeling this is our year for the champions league. " and that's why i don't feel nervous. we are going to do it this year, we are. and we're going to do it forjohn "pops" porter. john porter, it's foryou, dad. whatever their inspiration as they arrive here,

you can feel the belief running through the city support that they will conquer europe for the first time. but once again, the 1a time champions real, with their own superstars, will have a huge say in that. olly foster, bbc news, madrid. lionel messi's fatherjorge says that no decision has been made on his son's future despite reports linking him with a move to saudi arabia. messi, who won the laureus world sportsman of the year award on monday evening, is out of contract at his current club paris st—germain in the summer and there have been claims he's agreed a big money move to the saudi league. but his father has put out a statement on social media saying that nothing will be decided until the end of the season. an american therapist faces up to ten years in jail after pleading guilty to supplying performance—enhancing drugs to olympic athletes including the banned nigerian sprinter blessing okagbare. eric lira has become the first person convicted under new laws in the usa aimed at tackling international doping conspiracies.

the secular opposition leader kemal kilicdaroglu — has a narrow lead in opinion polls. the economy is shattered, and the president has been widely criticised for the state's slow response to devastating twin earthquakes in february. the death toll in turkey was around 50,000 according to official figures. our senior international correspondent orla guerin reports now from the ancient city of antakya — in hatay province — where the official death toll is more than 20,000. how cani how can i forget you, she says, to her son beneath the soil? her

grandson comes to comfort her. she cradled the little boy under the rubble for eight hours. your father is lying here, she tells him. she blames president erdogan for the four loved ones she lost. do you think he will still be president after the election? translation: i hope to god he won't. what i want from the ballot box is his dead body. our souls have been ripped away. hejust brings harm. it body. our souls have been ripped away. he just brings harm. away. he “ust brings harm. it wasn't onl the away. he just brings harm. it wasn't only the earthquakes _ away. he just brings harm. it wasn't only the earthquakes that _ away. he just brings harm. it wasn't only the earthquakes that killed - only the earthquakes that killed here. many buildings were death traps. under erdogan they have been

repeated amnesties for illegal construction, developers just repeated amnesties for illegal construction, developersjust had repeated amnesties for illegal construction, developers just had to pay a fine. when disaster struck it exposed weaknesses in the turkish state. structural faults. exposed weaknesses in the turkish state. structuralfaults. president erdogan�*s long rule has notjust been using shoddy construction work and critics point to a lack of proper oversight and a lack of preparedness, the worst natural disaster in modern turkish history was compounded by man. many died waiting for help that never came. what supporters of the president, and there are plenty, say, they echo his view that all this was destiny, and in a deeply polarised country, the earthquake is one more. it took ibrahim's home and his brother, but not his face in turkey's

go, the woman spots a turkish flag on the ground. they are quick to raise it up. on sunday the turkish people will vote in elections that could perhaps change everything. president erdogan is already under pressure after 20 long years. and many will take their grief to the polls. live now to orla. heartbreaking to hear those stories in your report. and the impact on the lives of those people. now there could be the politicalfallout the lives of those people. now there could be the political fallout from the earthquakes?— could be the political fallout from the earthquakes? yes, it has been hard to get — the earthquakes? yes, it has been hard to get a _ the earthquakes? yes, it has been hard to get a sense _ the earthquakes? yes, it has been hard to get a sense of _ the earthquakes? yes, it has been hard to get a sense of how- the earthquakes? yes, it has been hard to get a sense of how big - the earthquakes? yes, it has been| hard to get a sense of how big that will be and initially in the few days and weeks after the earthquakes there was speculation that president erdogan would not survive politically when the death toll was so high and officially at 50,000, and also when the official response was so poor and fatally slow. what

the president has managed to do is remain in place but he is now up against the competition in the context of his life and according to all of the opinion polls is main challengerfor all of the opinion polls is main challenger for the presidency who all of the opinion polls is main challengerfor the presidency who is a secular opposition candidate kemal kilicdaroglu, he has a narrow lead. what we are expecting on sunday is that neither candidate will reach the threshold which is 50% and that they will have to be a second round on the 28th of may and there are a lot of concerns and attention as the days get closer towards the election that there could be violence and that there could be violence and that there could be violence and that the result could be disputed and that this could be a very turbulent time in turkey. there has already been a small violent incident on sunday at a rally of one of the opposition candidates who is actually the mayor of istanbul. he and his boss were stoned and he insisted the police stood idly by and there is a concern that we could see more episodes like that before

the first round on sunday and between the two rounds if indeed it goes to a second round.— goes to a second round. thanks for “oininr goes to a second round. thanks for joining us- — goes to a second round. thanks for joining us- i— goes to a second round. thanks for joining us. i know— goes to a second round. thanks for joining us. i know you _ goes to a second round. thanks for joining us. i know you will - goes to a second round. thanks for joining us. i know you will be - joining us. i know you will be keeping across those elections and we will have full coverage here on bbc news. now to the house of commons with an urgent question being asked around the policing of the coronation. this was a the policing of the coronation. in 3 was a once—in—a—lifetime event and it took place against an intelligence backdrop which suggested there were multiple well—organised plants to cause very serious disruption which if they had proceeded would have been taken very seriously by this house and been seen around the world —— well—organised plots. i don't think you can inferfrom what well—organised plots. i don't think you can infer from what happened at the weekend that the recently passed legislation is defective. the the weekend that the recently passed legislation is defective.— legislation is defective. the shadow minister. thank _ legislation is defective. the shadow minister. thank you. _ legislation is defective. the shadow

being stretched into acts which are deliberately disruptive where people have sought to close down the m25 and the streets of london and not so much as an act of protest but to inconvenience the public and that is where we draw the line and at the weekend that is broadly the same test that was being applied for the peaceful protest vine, activity that was designed to seriously disrupt the coronation, including potentially causing a stampede of horses, or covering the procession in pain, that was not acceptable, and the police had to make difficult judgments, and we have to agree this is a unique situation and the police had to make fast decisions against a very threatening intelligence picture. the facts at the time were often unclear and that is very difficult and we can alljust accept those are difficult decisions and i think the police for them to answer operationally, but if they were here, they would say they acted lawfully to the best of their reasonable belief and at the time,

but i want to put on the right to peaceful protest is sacrosanct and no one in this house on either side would ever seek to undermine it. michael ellis. would ever seek to undermine it. michael ems.— would ever seek to undermine it. michael ellis.— michael ellis. would the minister airee michael ellis. would the minister a . ree that michael ellis. would the minister agree that as _ michael ellis. would the minister agree that as a _ michael ellis. would the minister agree that as a matter _ michael ellis. would the minister agree that as a matter of - michael ellis. would the minister agree that as a matter of law- michael ellis. would the minister agree that as a matter of law the j agree that as a matter of law the fact of— agree that as a matter of law the fact of the — agree that as a matter of law the fact of the matter is that the police — fact of the matter is that the police are entirely within their rights — police are entirely within their rights to— police are entirely within their rights to arrest individuals to prevent _ rights to arrest individuals to prevent a _ rights to arrest individuals to prevent a crime, it happens pretty much _ prevent a crime, it happens pretty much every— prevent a crime, it happens pretty much every day, they obviously do not have _ much every day, they obviously do not have to — much every day, they obviously do not have to wait until a crime is actually— not have to wait until a crime is actually committed, before acting. if actually committed, before acting. if they— actually committed, before acting. if they knew an armed robbery was about— if they knew an armed robbery was about to _ if they knew an armed robbery was about to take place, they do not have _ about to take place, they do not have to — about to take place, they do not have to wait until the armed robbery is taking _ have to wait until the armed robbery is taking place before acting, and the same — is taking place before acting, and the same applies here. does the minister— the same applies here. does the minister agree that the police did an excellentjob in very minister agree that the police did an excellent job in very difficult circumstances and this is a government that supports the police and we _ government that supports the police and we will leave the opposition party— and we will leave the opposition party to— and we will leave the opposition party to support those who do not follow _ party to support those who do not follow the — party to support those who do not follow the law and the fact of the ntatter— follow the law and the fact of the matter is — follow the law and the fact of the matter is an extremely difficult

monuments. we know that 53 people were arrested in respect of those concerns about criminal disruption of the coronation and they are currently on bail. all of that happened as a consequence of existing legislation, not new legislation, and the new powers specifically about giving the police the power to arrest people who were going, intending to lock on, that is what the six republic protesters were arrested initially for, those powers came in last wednesday, so days before the coronation, and that is really where the debate is. so were those new powers actually being used inappropriately by the police and clearly there is a suggestion that they were because the police

say they now regret that those six members of republic were unable to protest or is it that the laws themselves, the new extra powers, are actually problematic? there are many critics of the laws themselves. joanna cherry, snp mp, who tabled the urgent question you have been listening to in the house of commons just now, she described the legislation before it was passed as a blunderbuss, and there is a debate as to whether the extra powers that were brought in in part to give clarity to the police according to the home office about what they could and could not do to prevent serious disruption to the life of the community, and the questions therefore are twofold, are these powers being used appropriately and are the powers themselves appropriate? and that debate is going to continue as we have heard. mark, thanks forjoining us. for the

moment, this is bbc news. hello there. we've seen some sunshine coming through today which has led to temperatures rising, which in turn has led to showers breaking out. and really through the next few days, we'll keep this mixture of sunny spells and heavy showers and some thunderstorms likely as well. and actually the met office have issued yellow thunderstorm warnings for this part of the uk. there could be as much as 20 or 30 millimetres of rain falling from those heavy showers and some hail in there as well. not only some downpours across this part of the uk, but we've got some sunshine elsewhere and some sharp showers. although western scotland, northwest england and wales may be turning drier towards the end of the afternoon, temperature wise, peaking at 17 or 18 degrees once again. now, a lot of the showers will fade away this evening, but they'll keep going into the night across the far southeast and east anglia,

although they will become lighter. and then later in the night, we've got more cloud piling in from the atlantic, bringing more showers to northern ireland, western scotland and over the irish sea. clearer skies ahead of that and temperatures could be as low as seven or eight degrees in the morning. but we should start dry from any eastern areas with some sunshine, but we'll see the cloud increasing and showers will develop widely once again, the threat of some thundery ones, this time across the more eastern parts of england, perhaps into eastern scotland here, temperatures could reach 18 degrees before the downpours, but it will be quite a bit cooler, i think, in western scotland and northern ireland where we're going to find a lot of cloud wrapping around that area of low pressure. that's going to then come to rest across the uk as we move into thursday. away from the far southwest of the uk, the winds are going to be light. so once the showers get going once again, as the heat builds during the day, so the showers will be heavy and thundery and also slow moving. not so many showers in northeast

scotland because there'll be a lot of low cloud once again and probably not so many showers in northern ireland, although here we should see more in the way of sunshine. temperatures around 16 degrees. things look different towards the end of the week. it's turning drier. we've got high pressure building in from the atlantic and that will mean most places will be dry on friday. still got a lower pressure moving into central europe and we're just on the edge of that across east anglia and the southeast so there could be some showers here. quite a chilly wind blowing in off the north sea, bringing in a lot of cloud, the best of the sunshine for the western side of the uk where temperatures will be back up to around 18c.
