our sports correspondent, joe wilson, is there for us.at a night for mauricio potchetino's side! let's talk about wembley. spurs fans have been reluctant and sceptical about this place for most of the season. about this place for most of the season. pochettino said let's make it feel like a home ground and it really was. a few thousand spurs fa ns really was. a few thousand spurs fans do not want to leave, they are not sure they want to go home. the game itself really changed in the second half. it was goalless in the first half. look at jan vertonghen. that cross into song. a great finish! he was really the energy. the tonga is playing an unfamiliar role. wingback will centre forward? ——jan role. wingback will centre forward? —— jan vertonghen. that was 2—0. then on pounds the rent a —— then on pounds llorente. what we have to reflect on for tottenham hotspur tonight was an all—round performance of unity and team spirit. you mentioned them missing players, harry kane and dele alli. huge players to be out for spurs. spurs have not spent a

joe wilson, bbc news.coverage from 7:25pm. that's live from paris, france versus wales. the comedianjeremy hardy has died from cancer at the age of 57. as well as being a stand—up, he was a stalwart of radio shows such as the news quiz and i'm sorry i haven't a clue. in a statement, his publicist said jeremy hardy had retained to the end "the principles that guided his life, trying to make the world more humane, and to be wonderfully funny". here he is giving his thoughts onjogging enthusiasts. now they dress to impress — they need branded gear, they need something high—vis in case they have to stop and do some construction work along the way. laughter. they've got to have a baseball cap and sunglasses — in what is surely one of the darkest countries in the world. they need to carry water, because half an hour in a freezing recreation ground without hydration — they're going to look like a camel carcass in the sahara. jeremy hardy, who has died at the age of 57. time for a look at the weather. here's phili

it was joe wilson embarrassingly so you will argument chamber of congress i wouldn't on that i would have thought that was in a barrel. and i do i would submit that we're going to take or i'm going to. and he ended up having to apologize and that's i think you are seeing especially a lot of these issues with the latest governor of virginia you are seeing parties realized immediately that they are going to have call their out their own on the floor and how they're on account of ok so we're going to present trump is a going up he's wearing a red tie i hope an american flag is on his lapel pin and we're going is giving his speech will be interesting to see how he addresses madam speaker nancy pelosi and let's listen to the president trying to live are the second state of the union complaining. madam speaker. mr vice president. members of congress. for. it's lady of the united states illinois . a and my fellow americans. we meet tonight at a moment of unlimited potential. as we begin a new congress i stand here ready to work with you to achieve historic breakthroughs for all americans mi

ubertaccio: that is congressman joe wilson yelling at president obama, you lie. that is not a formal state of the union address, but a presidential address. the president is speaking about the health care bill that he is advancing. wilson apologizes for the outburst. it was considered a breach of decorum. there is that. the face on the vice president and nancy pelosi during this is priceless. they considered this a real breach. yet, as the address has become more partisan, it is perhaps not unusual that the house would look more like the house of commons during a debate, if you have ever seen prime minister's questions. it is shown every week on c-span on sunday evening. i don't know what you are doing on sunday evenings, but i am usually watching a clip from prime minister's questions, much to the chagrin of my children. who would rather be watching sunday night football. we get in a little british civics before the big game. they shout and yell at each other and hoot and holler, and is typically not how business in the american house is done. this resembles that

joe wilson's outburst is one small example and hasn't been repeated. again, it does nt happen that often. but our recent state of the union addresses encourage that wilsonian view that the problem with our system is the constitutional separation of powers, separate institutions. what can presidents learn from? political science. they don't have a magic wand. the magic wand that your staff has convinced you you have, does not exist. doesn't mean your office is without power. it has significant political power and you know from your reading that the relative power of modern presidents are far more vft than their 19th century predecessors. but they can't easily force congress to bend to their will. this doesn't prevent them from trying. it doesn't prevent them from insisting they can overcome the limits of their office to a skilled and politically adept state of the union address. what they might depain in political prestige through this annual spectacle is something that we lose in our understanding of their constitutional limits, that first large sea co

dortmund have made the journey to london for tonight's first leg, and our sports correspondent joe wilson a sobering experience for manchester united against psg last night. how are spurs fans feeling ahead of this one? i think they are confident. they are optimistic. i think there is a general sense with tottenham hotspur right now and it's likely been led by their manager. they are a team which is suffering from certain degrees of adversity but they are using it in their favour. fixture lists have not been kind to them. injury list have not been kind, they don't have a home ground. everyone is talking about how brilliant liverpool and manchester city have been, but when it comes to the premier league, the champions league, i think tottenham are in acts to an end. they know they can beat borussia dortmund. when we look at the group stage of the champions league, let's not forget that everybody had written spurs of after three games but here they are. what could be crucial this evening, fans are streaming and, if they can create an atmosphere here this evening, if they can really make thi

joe wilson is there for us.itional rivalries are revived, with that intense physicality on the pitch matched by a friendly rivalry in the streets and in the seats. there is no doubt this year that something special rests on this match, with realistic expectations that whichever side wins the game will go on to win the six nations championship. it's a world cup year as well. lots of talk in the build—up and our preview now from adam wilde. there is nothing quite like a six nations weekend when england come to call. even by the standards of an ancient rivalry, this weekend brings ancient rivalry, this weekend brings a rare significance. the tournament yet to reach its halfway stage, but already this is the moment that really matters. everybody wants to play in these games. when it comes to the weekend, i don't see any reason why you shouldn't enjoy it. you shouldn't love the occasion, love being part of it. you should allow it to bring the best out of you. england come to cardiff following huge victories in irelan

first leg of their last 16 champions league tie against borussia dortmund. 0ur sports correspondent joe wilsonwhen you are in the knockout stages of the champions league, that final seems feasible. tottenham have a lwa ys final seems feasible. tottenham have always said they are in it to win it, and after this game, this 3—0 win over the german league leaders, maybe they are right. wembley may be football's ultimate destination. for spurs, it's the home which isn't home. still, if you're walking, march with belief. there is a suspicion at tottenham that football's almost forgotten them. tonight, hmm. .. they had a statement to make. in a flash, lucas moura for tottenham. . . missed. remember, they're without the injured harry kane and dele alli. borussia dortmund, though, did have one of england's most exciting attackers, the teenage feet of jadon sancho. he left england to seek opportunity in germany and often left spurs getting. and often left spurs guessing. no foul spotted here by the referee. tottenham's goalkeeper had to stay fully alert. goalless, just, at half time.

england are set to take on france in today's six nations rugby action. 0ur sports correspondent joe wilsonwickenham for us this lunchtime. we are getting some lunchtime son in south—west london after a grave and drizzly start to the day, but you can imagine the confidence pumping through the veins of the england players when they think back to the tries they scored last weekend in dublin their weekend victory. beating ireland in ireland is considered about the hardest thing to do in world rugby union these days, and today are at home. eddie jones has tinkered with the team a bit, bringing in chris ashton on the wing. he never liked his players to feel complacent about their selection, but i think you'll have noticed a growing sense of camaraderie among the england team. when france think back to last weekend, they can remember being 16-0 weekend, they can remember being 16—0 up at half—time against wales and still losing. there was a time when at twickenham wheat half expect france to produce a performance of verve, passion and skill, but it's so long since it happened i wonder if the fren

our sports correspondent joe wilson is there. the fans are around the city as they gathered there this morning? there isa gathered there this morning? there is a hope, it is a beautiful sunny morning in cardiff and with the roof open at england's insistence, the sunshine is streaming in and if you are —— in such a morning i think you have to be optimistic whether you area have to be optimistic whether you are a welsh or english fan. they will have taken confidence through that one of 11 consecutive victories but i think everyone in wales is aware that the welsh victories have come from the team doing enough but the english victories have come through some outstanding rugby and i think there is a wariness and awareness that england have clicked back into place. we're predicting a building up to this match for the fortnight now. i wanted to show you the cover of a welsh newspaper. they have discovered that the key factor is 2019 and wonder at 89 at the end of the year wales prevailed. they have decided that is a decisive factor. th

well as compared to his who to his predecessor even president obama had to deal with thing with joe wilson yelling out you lie during the state of the union speech to republicans not standing up for anything that he said during his administration made during any state of the union he still took that conciliatory tone not pushing a far outside the mainstream idea of government so i think the president needs to take a page out of that book of paid the george w. bush book and try to build bridges because he does not control the entire government anymore he has to work with democrats they control the power of the purse strings they control investigations so you have to make sure you were part of a reach across party lines well an issue that has just come over the last honestly two weeks that we're having to deal with and it has to do with agree chair or party lines because for once you do see people like chuck schumer and mitch mcconnell the grain on this which is kind of odd to start and it's our policy going forward in venezuela and i'm going to turn to you right now chris now and what do yo

. >> dana: in a tease we had the video of when congressman joe wilson yelled at president obama duringhe obamacare portion of the speech. you lie. president said, that's not true. it hasn't happened since. do you have thoughts on if that could happen tonight? >> i hope not. i think this is one chance where elected officials can all sit in the same room and not get into a personal attack or making a scene of themselves. i think the pain is left over from the democratic response. >> dana: you look at these numbers. here's a poll supporting second term of president trump should be re-elected. it was 37% in november. 38% in late january. then you look at these other numbers, in terms of change in president's job approval rating before and after the state of the union. nothing ever really changes that much. >> yeah. my expectation is not that the state of the union is going to be a blockbuster moment, but it is an opportunity that the president has to speak to people who are outside of his base. normally he turns to twitter to have a sort of unfiltered microphone with which to speak to the

>> joe wilson in north carolina. his head spinning tonight. [ laughter ] >> i do agree this is a night where, as americans, more people tune in than any other night. >> yes. >> and that we all hope that the country can be more united, and that we can find a sense of common purpose, a sense of common identity because i think that's what's been missing. and for me, that purpose starts with the idea that everybody counts in this country. whether we're talking about those kids at the border or today trayvon martin would have been 24 years old. we think about the way the people was of the color of their kin or background are treat ed in this country, whether it's with education, health care, jobs, no matter who you are, where you come from, you're treated the same way in this country? >> do you think there are people who genuinely believe everyone is treated the same way? that seems to be the case. people disregard that there is any difference in the way people are treated if they're a different race or religion or those

i kept waiting for joe wilson to pop up, former representative from south carolina. it's like where is he when you need him. but, no, in all seriousness it was a dark vision of a country. it was very trumpian in that sense. i was particularly struck by obviously that portion you just played for your viewers in which the president essentially threatened the economic growth of the country if he was not protected at all costs, no matter what he does or has done. and i was also struck by his use of every day americans and people who have been through some pretty extraordinary difficult experiences, holocaust survivors, people who have lost family members to violence. using them as pawns for his own political purposes. and talking about them in terms of patriotism when, you know, i would say in my opinion the president and his administration have done nothing but debase our democratic values and the values that we hold dear as americans. so i found that picture eerily offensive. >> this was donald trump scripted. he's usually unscripted, and i think at a sheer political l

do you think that we'll see a representative joe wilson moment where one stands up and says liar to thely worried about 2019. i'll worry about -- we need a government that works. so what i would like to see is some kind of effort at compromise because that is the only way that we'll get through the southern border issue. saying wall, wall, wall publicly, negotiating publicly, will not lead to a compromise and we need a compromise. so what i'm hoping for is a 2019 solution. the 2020 people should watch, did whatever they have to do, but right now we need a government that works. >> let's talk about the president's approval ratings. we put them together for you sort of historical. and what is interesting here, look at ronald reagan in 1983. for so many people they talk about trump's approval rating at 40%, which is i think that is up actually a little bit, but historically quite low. ronald reagan turned that around and was able to win handily re-election. what is the message here for president trump and what he needs to do before 2020? >> teleprompter trump and ronald reagan are very dif

i also want to associate my comments with that of joe wilson , and who i worked with as community organizers. he has always been wise, but today he said something very wise. after this vote, we will all work together, and that is actually what is expected of us. this is not about individual power. this is clearly about collective power. we have been given an opportunity, a progressive majority on this board to actually help level the playing field, so i just want to say, that when i was campaigning, and when i'm out on the streets today, i see seniors that are losing their housing in my neighborhood, and i want to say to them, i see you. for all the undocumented folks that are fearing what trump could do next, it is why i actually helped to fund and create immigration defence funds in the public defender's office, and also to write the resolution to impeach trump. i see you too. i see the working working-class folks of san francisco struggling every day, some who have not made it, and then some who are just barely hanging on. i want to say to you, i see you too, and i think all of us on this

joe wilson was in cardiff. welcome, said cardiff.ont row, every little helps. wales relied on their home advantage to shake and in plasma composure. but in the melee tone curry sensed a gap. to get to the line. england led by seven at half—time. wales still behind deep in the second half tried to build. running, passing, crashing, recycling the ball until there was corey hill. in the 68th minute, wales squeezing into the lead. now the welsh stadium and the welsh players were truly united. louder, higher, stronger. the ball in the airand the higher, stronger. the ball in the air and the brilliance of this to turnit air and the brilliance of this to turn it into another try. 21—13 in 2019. this years revival of a great rivalry was a classic. and who can stop wales now? when a team is able to win 12 matches in a row as these wales players had done you no they have an instinct for victory. so powerful. we felt it here in cardiff! in paris scotland in blue we re cardiff! in paris scotland in blue were missing some key players out injured.
