wide from point—blank range and really paris st—germain were beginning to realise this was not going to be their night. dortmund have done so well to get this far, especially having sold their two best players over the past two summers, erling haaland to manchester city and jude bellingham to real madrid. they have brought in loan players to replace them, such as jadon sancho, from manchester united, ian maatsen from chelsea, and now the german club are just 90 minutes away from champions league final and they have a one—goal lead to bring to paris for the second leg on tuesday. tennis now. to the quarter finals of the madrid open on wednesday. 7th seeded andrey rublev�*s upturn in fortunes continues after coming from a set down to see off defending champion carlos alcaraz. having lost 4 matches on the bounce coming into the tournament he's now into the last four. elsewhere, jannick sinner has pulled out of his quarter—final match with felix auger—aliassime on thursday because of a hip injury. it's been an incredible season so far for the italian after winning titles

at the australian open, rotterdam and miami. he's due to be playing at next week's italian open before heading to paris for the french open. in the women's draw defending champion aryna sabalenka is through to the semi—finals. she beat the 17—year—old russian mirra andreeva 6-1, 6-4. sabalenka is chasing a third madrid title. and she will play the 4th seed elena rybakina in the last four. it's been a day of big shocks at the world snooker championship. the title favourite ronnie o'sullivan is out after a 13—10 defeat to stuart bingham. it was one of the closest matches of this year's tournament until the latter stages — they were tied at ten frames each before bingham pulled away. o'sullivan had his chances but bingham was just too strong in the end. he's looking to win his second world title after winning it here in 2015. ronnie o'sullivan however was happy with his own performance.
2:49 am
i'm actually really happy, to be honest with you. i thought, i'm actually getting through the ball which is more important for me at this stage. it's been a bit of a worrying couple years. so for me, not the win i would've liked to have had but that's just snooker, and that's the way it goes. good luck to stuart, he played a fantastic match deserves his victory so, i'm just pleased i competed and i thought i was cueing ok and just a few areas here and there but on the whole, not too bad. the other big shock on day 12 came earlier when another of the favourites judd trump was knocked out by qualifierjakjones. the welshman played the match of his life to beat the 2019 champion 13—9. he'll now play bingham in the last four. and in the other half of the draw, kyren wilson is safely through after beating four—time champion john higgins 13—8. he'll play david gilbert next. to formula i and red bull have confirmed their design chief adrian

newey will leave the team in early 2025. newey is widely regarded as the greatest designer in f1 history, but last week told red bull that he wanted to leave. it follows the controversy involving allegations about team principal, christian horner, who was accused of inappropriate behaviour by a female colleague — claims he's always denied. though newey�*s next team is not known, ferrari are the favourites to sign him. formula one reporter jenny gow explains how valuable he is. adrian newey is the mastermind behind red bull's success and previous to that with mclaren, he spent almost 20 years with red bull and in that time he's masterminded two periods of utter domination. the one at the moment has seen max verstappen go on to win three world titles, maybe a fourth one. he's won 118 races with red bull,
2:51 am
and his car is basically what has enabled the team to have such a dominant streak in f1. he will step away from his duties with the fi team at the end of this year, and most chief designers, most talent within fi, have a non—compete session involved in their contract. he doesn't have that, he”s managed to get out of it, so he is free to go to another team. and with these massive regulation changes for 2026, he could well oversee the development of another winning carfor that era. so it is massive news, possibly even bigger than lewis hamilton leaving mercedes to go to ferrari. it turns out eddie jordan is his manager. he thanked him for his friendship and his management. so he's instrument on this decision. i've seen the podcast where he thought that maybe it was time that
2:52 am
newey would step away from f1 and retire, would step away. but everyone said he would not want to retire. he go to aston martin, where there's a lot of money being put up for him tojoin? or would he go to ferrari? were of course lewis hamilton with owned up next year. —— will end up. everyone is dying to know what he's going to do. boxing is known for being a high intensity work—out and a great way to let out your frustrations, but it's not always been the most inclusive sport. well, one gym on the south coast of england has been running adaptive boxing sessions, making the sport accessible to people who use wheelchairs, have cerebral palsy or parkinson's. it's hoped that in the future, it could be included in the paralympics. juliette parkin has more. the murals may be of former champions, but the motto here is, anyone can box. when it comes to boxing, people think it's not an accessible sport. they think, "do you know what, everyone�*s there getting hit in the head." kieran green has cerebral palsy and has been training here forjust over three years. he now works full—time to deliver the gym's adaptive programme, which has
2:53 am
no barriers to inclusivity. we've got a safer style of boxing. it's notjust for getting hit. actually, we teach the defences. it's actually, you know, highly skilled, high tempo. yeah, it's all about the fitness and fun as well as the sport. a one to one online session for a junior living overseas, a way to fight parkinson's with twice weekly sessions, a wheelchair programme, just some of the training on offer here for all abilities, plus outreach events in schools and in the community. the men and women that come down to this club are physically and metaphorically fighting parkinson's. the thing about parkinson's is your torso, your muscles get stiff over time, as well as other symptoms affecting the condition. and this just loosens you up. it's great all—round exercise. everyone should have a go at boxing, basically. letting out your frustrations on a punchbag is a tremendous thing. i come from kent, all the way to brighton,
2:54 am
because the sessions are that good. being in a wheelchair's sometimes difficult and it's good to get out stress and it's a great stress reliever to come down and do some boxing here. and it's the only place, really. _ that you can come to and do this. the programme has been carefully planned over time, with safety at the forefront. there is a pathway for those who want to train, like kieran, to compete, with the aim of seeing adaptive boxing included in the paralympics. it's not about what you can't do, it's about what you want to do and what you can do with a few adaptions. it's hoped that more gyms will throw their gloves into the ring in terms of providing inclusive boxing for all. as champions look on, could one day a paralympian be featured among them? juliette parkin, bbc news. and finally, a 16—year—old british golfer will be up against some of the best players in the world when he makes a daunting first appearance on the pga tour in texas on thursday. great things are expected of kris kim who starred in europe's victory at last

year'sjunior ryder cup. probably first hit a golf ball when i was around five, my mum used to play on the tour so always used to watch her and then ended up falling in love with it myself. i've actually got, like, exams to pass english high school, three days after i get back and so, i try to forget about them for the time being and then focus on them on the flight back. and that's all the time we've got left. from everyone here at the bbc sport centre, and from me, mark edwards, we'll see you soon, bye—bye. hello. on wednesday evening in france, we saw some pretty nasty storms with hail and thunder, gusty winds, and they have been drifting towards us. if we look at
2:56 am
the satellite picture over the radar superimposed, the rainfall, you can see these dark blue colors indicating the very heavy rainfall and drifting in from the south towards the uk. so i think through the early hours we will have had some downpours. if they haven't reached you already, they may be on the way, but of course not everybody is going to get them. it's near enough impossible to exactly predict where the storms will be, but north of that, it's a completely different picture across northern england and scotland. some clear skies overnight. now let's have a look at the early hours. this is widespread rain in the south—west. i think the more vicious brief downpours with hail, thunder and lightning and flash flooding in places will be further towards the east. and some of these heavy showers may last through the morning and possibly pop off during the afternoon as well again around here. but by the time we get to northern england, northern ireland and scotland, it's mostly
2:57 am
sunny, but note windy weather on the north sea coast, a chilly breeze. so it will keep things cool here. maybe only 12 degrees on the north sea coast, 20 possible elsewhere across england. but i think the best of the weather for sure around the western isles with light winds and sunny skies. now, the weather front still with us on friday. i don't think that is going to be itself producing any thunder. the showers could be developing across more northern parts of england through the course of the day. and again, it's across the north and the north—west of scotland where we have the best of our weather once again, 20 degrees celsius. compare that to so many other major towns and cities, only around 13 or 14 degrees. and this does sometimes happen when we have easterly winds that sheltered part of western scotland tends to warm up in the sunshine. now, here's saturday. you can see a fairly cloudy picture with a few blobs of rain here and there, maybe sunnier skies for a time in the south. and the temperatures are recovering somewhat, typically the mid teens to the high teens. now, overall, the bank holiday weekend is looking quite mixed
2:58 am
for most of us. temperatures stabilising around the average. i think the high teens across the south of the uk and not far off the average across many other parts of the uk, but for the time being, watch out for those storms in the south.
