and a winning comeback for rafa nadal on his homecoming at the barcelona open. hello there and welcome along to the programme. one thing the champions league serves up every year is guaranteed drama — and the first of this year's quaterfinals didn't disappoint. paris saint—germain went into their tie at barcelona, with a first leg deficit. but come away with a place in the semifinals. barca extended their advantage early on with raphinha's first half goal. but the french side though, so often underachievers in this tournament, hit back after barca were reduced to ten men. ousmane dembele, vitinha, and two goals from kylian mbappe sealed a 4—1 win for p56 in spain and a stunning 6—4

victory on aggregate. and psg will face dortmund in the semifinals after the german side came through a thriller of their own to beat atletico madrid 4—2. dortmund also were behind from the first leg, but had the best start. julian brandt and ian maatsen with their two first—half goals. the pendulum swung back the way of atletico though in the second half. they pulled level on the night. angel correa's equaliser at the time meant the spanish side were progressing. but dortmund weren't done, and with the home crowd behind them, scored the two goals necessary. marcel sabitzer with the crucial strike to win 5—4 on aggregate. dortmund make the semifinals for the first time in 11 years. premier league sides manchester city and arsenal are on collision course for a semifinal meeting, but both have work to do in the second legs of their quaterfinals. the gunners are all square at 2—2 against bayern munich, we'll get the latest ahead

of the match in germany in a moment. but we'll start with that other huge clash — at the etihad — between city and real madrid. joe lynskey reports. the last weeks of the season when manchester city inevitably hit their stride. on wednesday at the etihad, they host real madrid and they've not lost at home in europe since 2018. this is the next act of a tie that swung back and forth. the first leg last week brought extraordinary goals and finished 3—3. it's the fourth time in five years they've met in the knockouts. this time, city are the champions league team to beat, top of the premier league still in the fa cup. this club dares to wonder if they could retain the treble. we are far away for that hypothetical dream. we have a lot of difficult games home and away with our opponents. we have. they have both of them. honestly, i start to sing in the treble when we beat united and if i got final last season and i said, "ok, well, i want to give

my way to do something exceptional." being in contention to be there. it's incredible. but at the same time, we are here to extend this chance one more week. if we can win two travels in a row that no one did, that would be legacy. so that's definitely motivation, knowing that it's very, very difficult because as i said, in one week, we could be out of all the competitions, but we're fighting, we're fighting for it. and we're going to do everything in our power to each day be a step closer to that goal. real are eight points clear at the top of la liga. their aims for a double are led by england star. jude bellingham has 20 goals for the season, but in the first leg, he was kept restricted. city won last year's tie by 5—1, but bellingham still chose madrid over a move to the champions. his club need him now to show they've closed the gap. i spoke to some of the lads that played last year and how it felt and, you know,

they all have kind of similar feelings about it that it wasn't nice. everyone spoke a lot about them, you know, the treble winners, and rightly so. they're an amazing team. but i do know that we're real madrid and we're a pretty good team ourselves. we've got some brilliant players and it's an even score going into the second leg. and like i've said, we've got to be brave and come out to play. bellingham came here for occasions just like this. madrid now must find a way to stop a team in full flow. joe lynskey, bbc news. arsenal have a tough task away against bayern munich after their 2—2 draw last week. this is bayern�*s last chance of silverware this season. the bundesliga title they had won for the past 11 seasons, going to leverkusen over the weekend. but striker harry kane says his side are a different beast in europe. it's no secret here that the club set out to win the champions league every season. so there is an expectation, and i think if you look at our performances this year, there's been a different type of performance in the champions league. i feel like we've been maybe together more. we've been willing to do more on the pitch, defend defensively and in other aspects. so, yeah, it's a time

to raise our game. it's a time for me and the players who have been in big situations, pressure situations, to step up and be counted now. in what could be his final year before retiring, rafa nadal enjoyed a winning start at the barcelona open as he returned from another long—term injury. the spanish 22—time major champion, who turns 38 injune, beat the italian flavio cobolli in straight sets in their first—round match. nadal was playing for the first time since january because of a hip injury and abdominal issues. just trying to make the things the way that i really believe that we need to do the things to try to keep going even like this. i don't know anything, butjust trying to push when i really need to push if i can. so, i think it's going to be a work of every day if that happens to keep discovering what's the limit, where and how much i can push on everything, not only on the self. so, let's see and just keep exploring where is the limit today.

the world snooker tour has announced the strengthening of it's partnership with saudi arabia as it continues to look to develop the sport in the middle east. as part of a new agreement, seven—time world champion ronnie o'sullivan is opening his own academy in riyadh and he'll be involved in coaching aspiring young players over the next three years. if you look at what china have done with their players and their youth, i think that's some — if you can copy and paste that and saudi arabia can kind of develop academies where young players can go and play, create competitions, create events and take some really good coaches out there, which i want to be part of to make sure that they're getting the right type of coaching.

the former wbc world heavyweight champion deontay wilder says he has one last chance to try and make his way back to the top. he's due to face the chinese fighter zhilei zhang injune, and if he wins that, he could finally get to face another former champ — anthonyjoshua. he's been speaking to our reporter — ade adedoyin — about that prospect and his next fight in six weeks' time. this fight is very important, you know, forfuture plans moving forward that if i don't have my business, then a lot of things could be in jeopardy, i would say. and it's very important to me. i got a little pressure, but it's not a lot of pressure because i've been in this business for a long time. and if it's pressure, it's only because i want to succeed and i want to get to the big plans of things that's prepared for the fans to see. you know, and this is a business where either you do or you die. and you have to think that in that way in your mind as you going in there, because you got to understand, the head is not meant to be hit in the first place.

and every time we get in that ring, we risk our lives for others entertainment. you've done everything. you've climbed the mountain, you've been champion. you face the biggest names. you fought in the biggest arenas. is that desire? i mean, what is boxing like in terms of your priority in life? my priority is still to be unified heavyweight champion of the world. and it only take that one fight, that one night. and thisjunei is going to be that night, that one fight. deontay wilder knocks his head off and the world, go crazy. and there you go again. wilder vs joshua, they want it. and when i, when i, when they raised my hands in the sky and i look in that camera and say, "i'm back, i'm back." now we're both saying, "we're back." put the fight on. let's see what happens, you know? it'd be a shame if we... i always said that before.

it'd be a shame that we never fought, especially in this era in time. you know, if a lot of us neverfought, it would be a damn shame. and i'm just so happy the way things are going, the road that boxing is on and how it's being promoted, how it's been done, you know? and it's just amazing feeling just to be a part of it, even if it's dealing with rivals, dealing with people who i never thought that, you know, i'll be riding with or having a being a part of, even being named captain the other team. you know, it's all funny, but at the end of the day, i understand that we're all human. and as we grow, and grow together, we learn about each other and where we hated each other, we may learn to love each other. and i'm cool with that all the way around. yeah, let's see if that can happen. a reminder of our top story — paris saint—germain and borussia dortmund are the first sides to seal their places in the european champions league semifinals. both came back from first leg deficits — psg winning in barcelona emphatically, with kylian mbappe scoring twice.

and dortmund winning at home to seal their spot in the semis for the first time in 11 years. catch up with all the drama from those games, as well as the rest of the day's sports news from the bbc sport app, orfrom our website — that's bbc.com/sport. from me and the rest of the team at the bbc sport centre, goodbye. hello there. tuesday was another fairly cool day, winds a little bit lighter. but we had further showers, some heavy with hail and thunder once again. next few days, it's pretty similar, it stays on the chilly side. there will be further showers or longer spells of rain, a bit of sunshine. nights will be cool. we're still in this chilly air mass, as you can see here, for wednesday. so it means things starting off rather chilly. further showers across eastern

areas, and this tangle of weather fronts will bring thicker cloud and some rain to western parts of the uk through the day. so we'll start with some showers across eastern scotland, some snow on the hills, showers, windy weather affecting the northeast of england. could be quite cold and windy for north sea coasts of yorkshire. this area of cloud and rain pushes across the hebrides, northern ireland down into parts of wales, southwest england through the course of the day. in between, there will be some sunshine around, but it's going to be a cooler day, we think, temperatures 9—11 celsius for most of us, single digits along north sea coasts. the showers linger on for a while through wednesday night before it turns drier and clearer with lighter winds across england and wales. so, here it will turn quite chilly. temperatures recovering, though, in the northwest as wetter and windier weather starts to move in thanks to this little area of low pressure, which will bring wet and windy weather to the northern half of the country through the day on thursday. this area of high pressure will tend to keep things drier in the south. so england and wales starting off chilly but bright, plenty of sunshine, wetter,

cloudier windier weather will move across scotland, northern ireland and down into parts of north wales, northern england, the north midlands. southern england, south wales will do pretty well with staying dry, i think, with some sunshine, lighter winds here. so temperatures around 14 celsius, but windier, wetter, cooler further north. that area of low pressure clears away gradually during the course of friday, high pressure starts to topple in, but we could start off with a few showers through central, southern and eastern areas on friday, a brisk northerly breeze affecting much of the country, particularly towards the east. lighter winds further south and west, variable clouds, some sunshine, temperatures could be up to 14—15 celsius degrees in the south. still quite cool in the north. now into the weekend, we're expecting this area of high pressure to move in. so i think it'll be turning a lot drier, but we could see quite a bit of cloud around. that depends on what we'll see with temperatures. if we see some sunshine, then we could see the high teens across some central and southern areas. if it's cloudier, it could be a bit cooler than this.

live from washington, this is bbc news. tensions remain high as israel weighs a wider response to iran's attack. the firstjurors are selected in donald trump's new york hush money trial. and billions in india prepare to head to the polls in one of the largest elections in the world.

hello, i'm helena humphrey. good to have you with us. we start in the middle east, where white house national security advisorjake sullivan has confirmed that the united states will impose new sanctions on iran in the coming days. the announcement comes after the iranian attack on israel last saturday, with more than 300 drones and missiles launched. according to the israeli defence forces, 99% of them were intercepted by israel's aerial defence system and its partners. well, iran says the attack was retaliation for a deadly strike on its consulate in the syrian capital damascus on i april. that attack killed a top iranian commander, alongside six others — including civilians. the us has vowed that its support for israel is ironclad but has urged restraint in its response. a senior us official says israel is not sharing its targeting of iran with washington, so the biden administration does not know how or when israeli retaliation will take place.

though some officials expect it to be a limited strike
