12:45 am
hello and welcome along to the programme. it was her particular sweet night as they secured the theory title, they did so against ac milan. a 2— one win was enough to get over the line. we have the details. secured the series title and it didn't take long to open the scoring, francesco suk scoring, found himself in acres of space, after the break they had a second. edge of the box putting enter inside, ac milan where the home team and they give their fans a glimmer of hope went to moray pulled one back with ten minutes remaining, tensions began to
12:46 am
boil over in the closing stages with a ac reduced to nine men whilst enter also had a player sent off. they held on though and the celebrations they held on though could begin as simoni as augie sighed became the kings of italian football for the first time in our history. meanwhile the barcelona presidentjoan laporta says he will not rule out taking legal action or replaying el clasico if it is discovered that lamine yamal�*s shot crossed the line in barcelona's 3—2 defeat to real madrid on sunday. with no goal—line technology available in la liga, var determined that real goalkeeper andriy lunin had prevented yamal�*s shot from crossing the line at 1—1. the visitors insisted the ball had crossed the line, but the goal was not given and real went on to win the match. nottingham forest's war of words with the footballing authorities in england continues. following their premier league defeat at everton on sunday, the club posted on social media, saying they'd asked
12:47 am
for the video assistant referee to be stood down before the game, because he's a luton fan, who are in a relegation battle along with forest and everton. forest now say their issue is not with any individual, but more generally about the integrity of the game. the fa say they're investigating, as are the premier league who have issued this statement... to a big match in the english premier league where arsenal are hoping to move three points clear at the top on tuesday — for 2h hours at least. mikel arteta's side are now leaders after beating wolves on saturday and face london rivals chelsea at the emirates, in what's proving to be a busy end to the season. however, the arsenal manager insists his squad are still full of energy.
12:48 am
be in a great position in the premier league, we've been like this for many now and i want really to give you a real goal and be really determined to do what is in our hands to try to lift that trophy. and tomorrow we're going to have a very top opponent in front of us and we will try to overcome that again. chelsea are ninth in the premier league and could be facing arsenal without the league's joint top scorer cole palmer. manager mauricio pochettino said the club is still in a transitional period — similarly to arsenal a few years ago. the most important thing is to believe. arsenal was a few years ago in a different situation than today, then with
12:49 am
time confident and trust on him after a few years, he is there. it happened with different coaches, and here is not a difference. it's who has trust, confidence and does the work. the world number one scottie scheffler has his fourth win in five pga tour starts — after getting the job done on monday at the rbc heritage in south carolina following a weather delayed finish. scheffler — who won the masters a week ago, after going back—to—back at the arnold palmer invitational and the players in march, resumed on 20 under and five clear of the chasing pack. with two pars and a bogey over his closing holes, he completed a three—under 68 to register a tenth pga tour victory in little over two years. at the end of the day, like, i have to get to this position, i don'tjust show up in the lead on thursday, i have to play
12:50 am
good golf and handle things well. you look at a tournament like this week could be a good example, starting off and looking at the leaderboard on thursday and everybody is making birdie over birdie and i'm sitting there over par, got a shank on the day, did my best to be patient, waited until he got hot and had a nice finish to the round on thursday and had a really solid read it where i felt like i played better than i scored and then i had saturday where ijust played some real good golf, had a lot of improvement opportunities, made some pots that, posted a nice number and i got off to a good start yesterday, just kept going from there. i've talked a lot about kind of the preparation and... and what it takes to show up on the first day ready to go, i've been putting in the work, playing some good golf, and it's nice to see some results for that, at times last year i felt i was playing golf and wasn't winning and it is nice to be sitting here winning some tournaments. four—time champion mark selby says he's going to review his future in the summer, after being knocked out
12:51 am
in the first round of the world snooker championship byjoe o'conor. selby was beaten by his close friend, losing ten frames to six at the crucible in sheffield. o'connor is making his debut at the championship. selby had suggested recently that he might weigh up his options, after making an early exit at the tour championship. i'll definitely still review in the summer, because that first session i felt i stopped myself from playing as well when i had my chances and i can't keep doing that, you know? obviously it's no good for me, makes me ill and gets me down mentally as well, so yeah, i mean it will be a big decision but if i do carry on playing then i'll need help, obviously, probably on the mental side of it a little bit more, just to camino, go out and enjoy the game, that's all he want to do is go out and enjoy it. no worries for the 2005 champion, shaun murphy though, he's into round two after a really impressive performance against china's lyu haotian. murphy was 6—3 ahead
12:52 am
after sunday's first session — and then today he won four of the next seven frames — 10—5 it finished. he'll play scotland's stephen maguire next. the world championship is taking place at the iconic crucible, but there have been calls to move the event to a bigger, more modern venue. hossein vafaei even called it smelly and like playing in a garage after he exited the compeition. well, despite that, many of snookers�* greats feel it is an historic building where the world championship has been held since 1977 and it should remain there. shaun murphy made his feelings clear on the venue. the realities are the crucible theatre is a working theatre, most of the year. it's not a purpose—built snooker venue, and that's part of its charm. we've been coming here for 47 years, and it continues to be the most special place that we play snooker all year round. every young player's dream is to walk out and play here. and that continues
12:53 am
to be the case. so murphy's feeling clear for all to see — but what do some of his fellow players think? we asked a number of competitors how they felt, starting with the seven time world champion, ronnie o sullivan, who's recently become an ambassador for saudi arabian snooker. it'sjen being recreated every day, this is going to be history at some point, this interview and it's going to be history at some point, this tournament, everything becomes history at some point. i tournament, everything becomes history at some point.— history at some point. i think it's inevitable _ history at some point. i think it's inevitable in _ history at some point. i think it's inevitable in 2027, - history at some point. i think it's inevitable in 2027, may l history at some point. i thinkl it's inevitable in 2027, may be the landscape of the change within— the landscape of the change within the snooker world in the next _ within the snooker world in the next 40 — within the snooker world in the next 40 years, but i'm just lucky— next 40 years, but i'm just lucky that i wanted here,. i�*m lucky that i wanted here,. i'm re lucky that i wanted here,. i'm pretty sure — lucky that i wanted here,. i'm pretty sure it _ lucky that i wanted here,. i'm pretty sure it won't _ lucky that i wanted here,. i'm pretty sure it won't be here and — pretty sure it won't be here and that _ pretty sure it won't be here and that a _ pretty sure it won't be here and that a few _ pretty sure it won't be here and that a few years' - and that a few years' time, nothing _ and that a few years' time, nothing against _ and that a few years' time, nothing against the - and that a few years' time, | nothing against the crucible in sheffield, _ nothing against the crucible in sheffield, but _ nothing against the crucible in sheffield, but it— nothing against the crucible in sheffield, but it is— nothing against the crucible in sheffield, but it is a _ nothing against the crucible in sheffield, but it is a businessl sheffield, but it is a business and it— sheffield, but it is a business and it is_ sheffield, but it is a business and it is a _ sheffield, but it is a business and it is a tournament, - sheffield, but it is a business and it is a tournament, some things— and it is a tournament, some things you _ and it is a tournament, some things you have _ and it is a tournament, some things you have to _ and it is a tournament, some things you have to grow, - and it is a tournament, some things you have to grow, you j things you have to grow, you have — things you have to grow, you have to — things you have to grow, you have to change. _ things you have to grow, you have to change.— things you have to grow, you have to change. whatever you take, if have to change. whatever you take. if you — have to change. whatever you take, if you take _ have to change. whatever you take, if you take 2000 - have to change. whatever you take, if you take 2000 seat i have to change. whatever you j take, if you take 2000 seat or 3000 seater, you're never going

sport centre, goodbye. hello there. we had some big weather contrasts across the uk on monday. now, for central and eastern parts of england, it was a cloudy day with outbreaks of light and patchy rain around. it was a cold day. temperatures just seven or eight degrees, well below average for this time of the year. and actually, these kind of temperatures are much closer to the averages you'd see in february. so, if you thought it felt a bit wintry, well, you weren't too far off the mark, but it was a different story further north. in scotland, we did have some brighter skies and some sunshine and we had temperatures 16—16.5 degrees or so in glasgow, so was actually warmer than average here. now, the reason we've got these kind of contrast at the moment is we do have some slightly milderair coming in off
12:56 am
the atlantic into generally western areas of the uk. but this trough in the jet stream across europe is dragging in cold northerly winds across a good part of central and eastern england. really, there's not going to be a huge amount of change in that over the next few days. for many areas, particularly in the east, the weather is going to stay on the cold side. next few hours, we've got some clouds and patches of rain drifting southwards across england and wales. nothing too heavy. it might be a few mist patches along with that. clearing skies further north for scotland, northern ireland and northern england means it will be a bright, sunny and cold start to the day on tuesday. now, through the rest of the day, there's patchy rain slowly fizzling as it works its way south eastwards. plenty of sunshine across the northern and western areas of the uk. and again, it's probably west scotland through the central belt into northern ireland and western fringes of england, wales, that will do the best for the temperatures. highs probably reaching 16 or 17, but cold for eastern scotland, central and eastern parts of england once again. now for wednesday, probably a bit more cloud coming in off the north sea,
12:57 am
maybe bringing a few patches of rain, the winds a bit stronger as well. so that will make its impact felt across the east coast of scotland and england. temperatures nine degrees, but with those winds, it will feel cooler than that. again, some of the highest temperatures and some of the sunniest weather will be out west. now, heading towards the end of the week and into the weekend, it looks like we will see something of a change in that an area of low pressure looks set to move up from the south. so, this is going to be bringing more general outbreaks of rain. so for those that have got quite chilly weather at the moment, we're swapping the chilly weather for wet weather as we go into the weekend. maybe something drier and warmer next month.
