at another point as they got much tonight that's leipzig versus leverkusen with just one point between them in the standings both clubs currently qualify for europe both the kid came to climb to the top event next season's champions league the last meeting between these two produced a four goal thriller leverkusen in particular are doing some long term planning. labor couzin have a lock down twenty one year old union brought until two thousand and twenty one the german winger had been linked to byron in liverpool prior to inking the extension but that commitment might not be enough to get a victory in life see laver couzin haven't won in their last two league outings their opponents live sick despite in better form might be dealing with the european fatigue ahead of monday night's thriller the reverse fixture back in mid november it even to all and it was a physical match goals were exchanged in the first half life sixty more than a netted early thanks to a penalty laver couzin responded just before the break and then this happened after the restart laver couzin boot to the head lead t

to all event there remain with the german cup within reach they face a semi final standstill at leverkusen tonight. way of iraq thanks for the company everyone. after days of delay and a global power struggle syrian state media now says international weapons inspectors have entered the town of duo that's the site of the alleged chemical weapons attack the inspectors have been in damascus since saturday but until now they were denied entry to the site the delay this prompted the u.s. to accuse syria anas al our russia of attempting to cover up evidence of the alleged attack. the destroy the town of demers where syria's ill fated revolutionaries up now after seven years of fighting and with the last of the rebels gone damascus is trying to win back its people meeting their most basic needs first. when the rebels left we found in the depo stuff that could satisfy dumas residents for a year they were not offering as anything but only hunger and starvation and. the media made it here before u.n. chemical weapons inspectors only on tuesday ten days after the alleged poison gas attack were they a

and the mexican made it one all that the interval was after the restart kevin leverkusen in the lead in the seventy second minute of about two one. the winger not offside. his instructions seem to bear no fruit seven minutes later and finished a picture perfect counter-attack to make it three one above and two minutes before the final whistle completed a hat trick. by four one for laver coups in the final score above so did the news have an impact on the game. i went into the game i prepared the team in the weeks before i'm a professional i didn't just start doing it yesterday i've been a boon this legal profession for eighteen years i know exactly what it means to go . i'm quite relaxed. but the man of the day was not new but. just a reminder of the top stories we're following here for him the u.n. security council has rejected a bid from russia to condemn air strikes on syria carried out by the u.s. u.k. and france this after an emergency meeting today called. the u.s. strike again if more chemical weapons attacks take place in syria. you're watching news from berlin more coming up

of the champions league whichever is going to stay tight for teams frankfurt hoffenheim leipsic leverkusen who do you think has the edge there in the rest of the champions league i think. they have the advantage that just simply better tames and i think one of them will go into the fourth place eventually and i think it'll be good for the. no offense to hoffenheim and front foot but to say that would be maybe a bit disappointing i don't think that would make it out of the group and i'm to make another europa league group qualify for the champions league with the playoffs . so i think that is what will happen in my opinion i think. that full sport i think still one hundred percent the second best team in the bundesliga the table doesn't show that because they've been playing in europe for the first time this season that was a bit of a struggle for them but i think the fourth time it's interesting you just mentioned . their coach. one of the names mentioned for the job he said he hasn't wanted to coach is frankfurt hoffenheim in august man. they said they don't want to be the guy has to succ

other teams of course now by munich are going to be joined by shall get possibly dormant or even leverkusen who deserve to be there i mean at the end of the bundesliga season every team that qualifies for the champions league deserves to qualify right because it's a very difficult undertaking. so if you find yourself among the top four if nobody can really say that you don't deserve to be that what i think is particularly positive about the top four how is shaping up this season. i'm really impressed to see level cues and back in. i'm really impressed to see in second place ice nice last season it was enjoyable to see health and high and lights the kind of insurgents you kids on the block taking the place among the big boys and stuff and especially kind of viewing it from the perspective of the boom is legal in kind of european football you don't want to see big teams like child care and labor queues and suffering not achieve in the heights that they have been used to in previous years so it's good to see them back well numbering you in michel because german clubs of the century apart from

and then after the restart leverkusen put the match away scoring two more goals for one would be the final the victory over close an eleventh was not to fourth in the table on track for that coveted final champions league spot. and meanwhile in tonight's champions league quarter finals barcelona are in italy's capital to face roma the catalan club hold a four one advantage from the first leg but coach nest of isn't resting on his laurels he says it would be a mistake to think they were safe but roma will have to pull off a massive upset to deny barcelona and their superstars a place in the semifinal. now sports are an outlet for many around the world including in south sudan a country where millions have been displaced by an ongoing conflict sports facilities have also been badly damaged due to the fighting leaving the locals no pitch or court to play on now the united nations is lending a helping hand take a look at the conditions here in mali callus else who done are bleak civil unrest has reduced the region's only sporting complex to rubble helping hands from the united nations ar

defeat and they did perform very well in the end we had paid to go before the game a monitoring leverkusen and their tactical flexibility in many ways that the i think dortmund beat they've accused their own game they really took the game to them we were worried about. why it is a three million for that came from and did a very good job market roy smith to go with. thing in the stands that doesn't do his world cup chances and harm and of course how could we not mention jade in the san siro gold and to assist a fantastic performance from him yeah that's right you know it actually from the eighteen year old englishman jaded says shows certainly had a starring role in that performance and he actually shared his joy on twitter saying how special it was disk or in front of the famous yellow wall here it is on your screen and he added a bit of german too if you can see it when we're done and he also wanted to thank the fans for all of their energy you know i actually interviewed jade and he did promise that he would score a goal i'm glad to see kept his promise now emily stay with you how impres

goal moments earlier and that really could have knocked his confidence but it didn't terrorize leverkusen really with his pace said such a roar talent the only question for me is attitude of how question marks the results achieved in the path i think you just need someone who's going to guide him in the right path because if they do. then they've got a big talent on their hands story and yes it's making players right he i know he's been a trouble of practice and making his own players i know he's had a little bit over the edge over there on the pits are going there because there's a fine of course now let's talk about a team making a late charge for the champions league places hoffenheim they dusted leipzig on saturday you think they can squeeze into the top four i do this in the going in the right direction and i think at this stage of the season it's all about momentum that's now eight league games unbeaten for them five of those victories and i don't think it's any coincidence that this run is co-incided with numbers and finally ruling itself out of the bind drop outs now or in the pot

leverkusen were two harmless and at the same time wasteful. i like the timid performance like this you might have a better chance of catching a train to roswell out on time or belgrade and the europa league. i. i currently seems to be no stopping bringing the steam down a head against frankfurt thanks to slot go you know the bridge the australian open the scoring after half an hour and it was his cross that was headed into the frankfurt goal but i'm truck defender job and opera. to the delight of the home fans. and the dismay of nico coverage this champions league aspirations are at the buffers although the europa league wouldn't be a disaster it hurts him if they stay with us if we think. it will bring in the champions league would be absolutely crazy but i think the fans would be happy with europa league to feel good perhaps he's being too modest. frankfurt played. and scored as well. but bradman had luck on their side not least in that opener and that means they're now unbeaten in five matches. shelter went into the weekend on a five match

it's been a roller coaster ride for leverkusen of late. with the v.a. are proving more of a downer this weekend. you hear on time found a spot in the sixty fourth minute but his celebrations were short lived. leon bailey was offside when he deflected the shop with his heel and that was the closest anyone came to scoring. and that was down to the teams not the technology. because it were too harmless and at the same time wasteful. i like the timid performance like this you might have a better chance of catching a train to boswell out on time or belgrade and the europa league. i. i there currently seems to be no stopping braman the steam gun i had against frankfurt thanks to the slot go you know the bridge the austrian open the scoring after half an hour and it was his cross that was headed into the frankfurt goal but i'm truck defender job and opera. to the delight of the home fans. and the dismay of nico called. his champions league aspirations are at the buffers although the roper league wouldn't be a disaster if it seems they stay with us if. it were
