a league double over liverpool after beating them 1—0 at anfield in september. despite almost being relegated last season, forest find themselves third — six points behind arne slot�*s side who are top. i think they have already showed, in retrospect, how good a team they are, leading up to that game they had two draws and a victory, and that is why in general, when liverpool lose a home game, that is something we don't expect. looking back at that and seeing where they are in the league, it is not such a shock result as i thought back then. it such a shock result as i thought back then. it was in the beginning _ thought back then. it was in the beginning of— thought back then. it was in the beginning of the - thought back then. it was in | the beginning of the season, and every team was starting the competition, knowing each other, _ competition, knowing each other, assessing weaknesses and strengths, and maybe it was a surprise, _ strengths, and maybe it was a surprise, but it was a long time — surprise, but it was a long time ago _ surprise, but it was a long time ago and many things have

comedian and actor tony slattery has died at the age of 65. in a statement — his partner said he died after suffering a heart attack on sunday. tony slattery first made his name as part of the cambridge footlights — before appearing in shows such as �*whose line is it anyway?�* and �*have i got news for you'. he also appeared in severalfilms — including �*the crying game' — and �*peter�*s friends'. with me is our entertainment correspondent — lizo mzimba. very sad news. he had a classic route in the comedy from a young age, he was a member of the cambridge footlights at cambridge university, where his fellow performers included the likes of stephen fry, emma thompson, sandy tonks fred, hugh laurie, so classic funny people of that generation, and then they went to edinburgh and won the top comedy prize, and then in the late 1980s, came on

channel 4, and even amongst the people that appeared on that show, he was especially funny in �*whose line is it anyway?�* with a very self—deprecating nature and audiences really related to him in so many ways, and then over the decades he did everything from stage musicals to cameos in film and tv, showing what a multitalented performer he was but of course it was not all laughs and smiles and cheering audiences and he was very candid in his life about the issues he faced including substance addiction, alcoholism, was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. he had a life that had many extremes but dying at the age of 65, so young, a real talent produced by the uk and they will be so many people who will be very saddened by the news. —— there.

thanks forjoining us. to ukraine now — and kyiv says it launched an overnight attack on russia, using drones and missiles — which was the largest of the war to date. moscow says it shot down six us—made �*ataccum�* missiles and eight british storm shadow missiles — over the black sea — in the past 2a hours. despite that, ukraine says it still managed to hit a russian oil refinery — believed to be shown here. it�*s the saratov plant, about 700 kilometres south east of moscow. ukraine says its military struck multiple targets inside russia, which also launched dozens of drones across ukraine, with several air raid alerts in and around kyiv. with me is our reporter olga malchevska, who has been checking sources in ukrainian and russian. tm saying the overnight attack launched was one of the biggest but what exactly was used? —— kyiv saying.

weapons including missile parts. in the saratov region they hit oil storage which is also quite famous from the soviet union times when there was a massive airport, military airport, located right next to it, so the ukrainian army claims they have managed to attack and hit those targets. meanwhile, russian officials do not say exactly what was hidden so we cannot confirm it independently but what we have seen is footage shared on russian telegram channels and verified by agencies like reuters, of a fire in those factories including the saratov region, and in one of those videos i saw there was a voice

with a strong russian accent, so that if someone local who said that as a factory being hit by a drone —— so that if someone local. that is what we have identified so far. that someone local. that is what we have identified so far.— have identified so far. that a massive attack. _ have identified so far. that a massive attack. now- have identified so far. that a massive attack. now to - have identified so far. that a l massive attack. now to india, where the largest religious gathering is happening, and it only happens every 12 years. these are pictures that we have. they say you can even see it from space. another major day for bathing there in the rivers. you can go to the bbc news website for the very latest on what is happening in qatar where the talks continue, we hear they are very close to

an agreement of a ceasefire deal between israel and hamas and we have heard a statement from the qatari foreign minister, saying it is a pivotal point but that they are incredibly close at the moment. if you go to the website you will see reaction from around the world to this potential deal. we will keep across all of the development for you. stay with us here on bbc news. hello there. good afternoon. some very settled weather conditions as we head through the rest of the week. and of course, it�*s now much milder across the board. some spells of sunshine too. earlier on today, such

as here in shropshire. now high pressure is set to dominate our weather for the next few days. the winds remain very light towards the south. but it is breezy out towards the north and the west. and here, of course, the air is mildest, as you can see, marked in the dark yellows and the ambers. still some outbreaks of rain, possibly across parts of north west scotland. windier here, but the best of the sunshine in eastern scotland. down to the east of high ground it�*s always cloudy and murkier. a few spots of drizzle for some of these western coasts, but temperatures very mild, 12—13 celsius. southern scotland, northern ireland a little cooler further south and east, 8—9c here. and then overnight tonight, with that mild air still coming across the cold ground, then it�*s likely we�*ll see some mist and fog form where we get the clear spells. so quite a murky but a mild start to the day tomorrow with lows of around 5—8c, but double figures still for north west scotland. so particularly mild here. now we�*ll probably see the worst of any fog towards the southern half of england. and here it could linger

on for much of the day, but more in the way of sunshine, with a drier feed of air for northern ireland, northern england and into eastern scotland. and it remains mild with double figures for many places. 9-11 or 12c. now the high pressure starts to pull its way further eastwards as we head through wednesday and into thursday. that�*s going to help to strengthen the southwesterly winds, and there could be a few outbreaks of rain, perhaps, across the western isles on thursday. and it�*s always going to be windier here, particularly towards the coast, of course. but again, some more sunshine for northern ireland, for wales, this time into northern england and for much of scotland too. but it remains cloudy, rather murky for east anglia and the south of england, with those winds staying very light here again. temperatures once again 8—ii, maybe 12c. the high pulls away on friday and into the weekend. the air will turn cooler on saturday. then on sunday there is a weather front that�*s going to be pushing eastwards.

some of us will see some rain, but the rain gradually peters out so it won�*t make too many inroads at all, so largely dry for the rest of the week. a little cooler at the weekend again. bye—bye for now.
