we will have tributes to the guitarist who played on the james bond theme. now we have the latest sport. uefa has awarded romania a 3—0 nations league victory over kosovo after the match in bucharest was abandoned in stoppage time last friday when kosovan players walked off pitch with the score at 0—0. they claimed that they had heard pro—serbian chanting from the home fans, something romania denied. uefa did find the romanian federation guilty of a number of charges and they will have to play the next home match behind closed doors due to racist and discriminatory behaviour by the team's supporters. but because kosovo walked off, they were deemed to have forfeited the match, the 3—0 win to romania doesn't change the standings with romania already promoted to the second tier and kosova going into a promotion play—off.

chelsea top the group and a win over the bottom side will see them qualify for the quarter—finals with two games to spare, that's if twente slip up against real madrid. there are also matches in group a, 8 time champions lyon will definitely qualify if they beat roma. rafael nadal says that that he's leaving tennis "with the peace of mind that he's left a legacy, which is notjust a sporting one but a personal one." nadal brought an end to his professional career in malaga he lost his singles rubber and spain went onto to lose their davis cup tie against the netherlands, spelling the end for the 22 time grand slam champion. he announced his decision to retire last month after another injury hit year on tour. he'd hardly played since the olympics, but targeted this tournament on home soil as the best way to bring his 23 year pro career to a close. our tennis correspondent russell fuller was there.
3:35 pm
very russell fuller was there. emotional, as the nationi anthem very emotional, as the national anthem was being paid, before what turned out to be his last match, and then again after spain had lost the doubles and been eliminated from the competition, drawing a line under his career. then the presentation on court. we had contributions from roger federer, serena williams, novak djokovic and andy murray, and nadal was wiping away tears quite regularly. all his family, who followed him all over the world for over two decades were there, as you'd expect. with rafael nadal, the pistons were flying. you could see all the effort that went into it. there was the trademark top spinning forehand down the line which was such a potent weapon. the m french open titles, imagine winning the same grand slam at the same venue 1a times. no one has got close to that. he will be missed.

provide their own diagnosis of the likely consequences of the remedy, so in a way that we have not seen in a very long time, we are going to see careful examination of how restructuring of the company or the imposition of other remedies like the mandated access to data that will affect the operations of google and it will teach us a lot about the tech sector and give us a glimpse of what we might expect if you have a break—up. what if you have a break-up. what have they — if you have a break-up. what have they done _ if you have a break-up. what have they done wrong? - if you have a break-up. what have they done wrong? the i if you have a break-up. what. have they done wrong? the core ofthe have they done wrong? the core of the case _ have they done wrong? the core of the case is — have they done wrong? the core of the case is that _ have they done wrong? the core of the case is that they - of the case is that they insisted on exclusivity in making arrangements with companies like apple to feature the google search engine, they demanded exclusivity that made it difficult for other phones, rival providers, to get access to key points that were necessary to reach their customers, so it was not the formation of agreements, but the demand that those agreements be made only with google the effect of making much harderfor

3:42 pm
that called for an immediate ceasefire to end the conflict in gaza —— the resolution. and it rejected any effort to starve palestinians calling for aid to go into gaza, especially in the north where they are facing famine and starving to death. some very tough words for the us from council members. algeria said that the message today is clear, it is clear to israel that they can continue their genocide and they can continue their collective punishment of the palestinian people, with complete impunity. algeria said it sent a message to the palestinian people that while the overwhelming majority of the overwhelming majority of the world stands in solidarity with the polite, others... the micmphone _ with the polite, others... the microphone was _ with the polite, others... the microphone wasjust with the polite, others... the microphone was just failing there. we will come back to you a little bit later. sorry about
