so hello and welcome to sportsday — i'm hugh ferris. our headlines this evening. their last etihad meeting was momentous. can manchester city turn it on against real madrid again as they hunt a semi—final place in the champions league? arsenal suffered a sucker punch in the premier league at the weekend, but beat bayern and they'll reach the last four of the champions league for the first time in 15 years. it should be third time lucky. dens park is ready for dundee against rangers in the scottish premiership. postponed twice and now pushed to a point when a victory is vital for rangers�* title hopes. also coming up on sportsday... 100 days to go. paris 2024 insists its

preparations are on course and security remains its number one priority. while the athletes are ready to tell their own stories. we meet one of those whose toyko tale was one of the most memorable. hello again. with two games to go, we've already had 29 goals in the champions league quarter—finals. last night p56 and borussia dortmund made it through to face each other in the last four with aggregate scores of 6—4 and 5—4 respectively. there's little to suggest we won't get something similar tonight when the goal of manchester city and arsenal is to set up a meeting in the semi—finals. the first legs have both ties level. we'll be heading to munich shortly, but first to the etihad where our correspondent

andy swiss is waiting. andy, pep guardiola called the 3—3 draw at the bernabeu last week chaos. are we expecting more tonight? from a neutral perspective, you hope so because as you say, the game last week was an absolute classic. not just the entertainment, the quantity of the goals, but the quality of goals as well. particularly from manchester city's point of view. however if you are a manchester city fan, you are probably hoping for perhaps a calm or night, perhaps a bit more control than what we saw last week. they will be helped by the return of a couple of players who did not play in the match last week. kevin de bruyne know who you may remember had to plough out of the starting xi just before kick—off because of illness. he is well again so that is a big name returning from the champions league for manchester city. also kyle barker who has been struggling with a hamstring injury

for a number of weeks now. at pep guardiola and his press conference said yesterday that he was certain that kyle walker would play a roll tonight whether starting the match were coming off the bench. since the defence will be hoping that that may give them a little bit more control, but after what we saw last week, anything is possible. bernardo silva landed his manager in it with talk of back to back trebles. which is still possible, but i'm not entirely sure the manager was to be talking about this at this stage. no, you get the sense that pep guardiola is desperately trying to play down any sort of talk of a double treble but after what we saw at the weekend, manchester city one and arsenal and liverpool both lost, the noise around a double treble is getting louder and louder. this is obviously a crucial few days for

city because that this match tonight against real madrid, then the fa cups semifinal against chelsea on saturday. by their own admission, city had a bit of a sticky start to the season, perhaps a bit of a hangover from the treble celebrations we saw at the end of the last season. but, as we've seen so often in the past, just when it is getting onto the business end of things, they are hitting their peak form. if they win here tonight against real madrid, expect the noise around of a double treble to get even louder and even louder. part of that first treble was a 4—0 win over the semifinals in the champions league last season, there is a difference to that team, a certainjude bellingham, not too much pressure on his shoulders but nonetheless a significant difference for real madrid. he nonetheless a significant difference for real madrid.— nonetheless a significant difference for real madrid. he has been a huge addition to the _ for real madrid. he has been a huge addition to the real— for real madrid. he has been a huge addition to the real madrid - addition to the real madrid squad. we knew he was a special talent when he joined last

we knew he was a special talent when hejoined last summer, but he has proved beyond doubt he is such an important part of their squad and has become such an important player for england as well. he has had a sensational season. goals have dried up sensational season. goals have dried up a little bit for him in the new year, but real madrid have so much talent at their disposal. as you say, city will look back at what happened i2 say, city will look back at what happened 12 months ago when it was a very similar situation in the semifinals of the champions league, they drew the first lake in madrid, but in the second leg here, they thrashed real madrid 4—0 in a superb performance. there will be hoping for something similar tonight. city, an incredible statistic, have not lost in champions league here at the eddie had for some six years. so they will be hoping that they can prolong that extraordinary run of form here tonight.— prolong that extraordinary run of form here tonight. thank you very much. form here tonight. thank you very much- our— form here tonight. thank you very much. our correspondent. - the first leg of arsenal's quarter final with bayern munich might

have had fewer goals, but with a couple of penalties that could have been given, there were just as many talking points in their 2—2 draw. add in harry kane's part in the drama and arsenal's potentially costly defeat to aston villa in the premier league. there's plenty for the bbc�*s ian dennis and matthew upson to chew over in munich. what a setting, what a stadium and what a game in store. even the boys after last week's forced lake in north london, but probably, the advantage with the germans because of home advantage. —— first leg. i germans because of home advantage. -- first leu. ., germans because of home advantage. -- first leg-— -- first leg. i would say that but i think the game _ -- first leg. i would say that but i think the game away _ -- first leg. i would say that but i think the game away from - -- first leg. i would say that but i think the game away from home | -- first leg. i would say that but i i think the game away from home for them _ think the game away from home for them last_ think the game away from home for them last week really suited their siyie~ _ them last week really suited their siyie~ i_ them last week really suited their style. i thought they counterattacked arsenal brilliantly and whether it will be different tonight— and whether it will be different tonight or still play like that, arsenal_ tonight or still play like that, arsenal will have the lion's share of the _ arsenal will have the lion's share of the bar. — arsenal will have the lion's share of the bar, we will have to wait to see, _ of the bar, we will have to wait to see, but— of the bar, we will have to wait to see, but tactically there could be changes— see, but tactically there could be changes by both managers. byron missin: a changes by both managers. byron missing a few— changes by both managers. byron missing a few key _ changes by both managers. byron missing a few key players - changes by both managers. byron missing a few key players and - missing a few key players and maybe in some respects the blood a greater share of the possession tonight unlike last week —— bayern munich.

due to the pitch being waterlogged, but tonight it is as good in condition as it can be. certainly playable for this evening. after the drama at the weekend, these two teams certainly have plenty to play for. let's look at dundee. first, a point at the tawdry on saturday and short they would finish the season at the top half on the table. and as defender ricky lam he tells us, and european sport, is now the one that they are aiming for in the season vernon. . , ._ ., vernon. once he play for them and obviously it — vernon. once he play for them and obviously it is _ vernon. once he play for them and obviously it is great _ vernon. once he play for them and obviously it is great so _ vernon. once he play for them and obviously it is great so there - vernon. once he play for them and obviously it is great so there is - obviously it is great so there is let's look forward to and we put ourselves in a good position but as i say, there is loads more we can achieve. . , ., ., achieve. range is two feet to the ross county _ achieve. range is two feet to the ross county really _ achieve. range is two feet to the ross county really did _ achieve. range is two feet to the ross county really did catch - ross county really did catch everyone out. the ibrox club closing in on celtic at the top of the partnership table and with six games left they will probably need to win them all to try and gain the title back. however goalkeeperjack buckland has called for something

that they can achieve the season. people were up at the start of the season— people were up at the start of the season before the manager came in and did _ season before the manager came in and did not— season before the manager came in and did not give us much hope. not by our— and did not give us much hope. not by our words — and did not give us much hope. not by our words but by everyone else's words _ by our words but by everyone else's words. everyone is saying a title race _ words. everyone is saying a title race that — words. everyone is saying a title race that is _ words. everyone is saying a title race that is what it does so that is accredited to all the boys have done what we _ accredited to all the boys have done what we were new to remember is what we have _ what we were new to remember is what we have done as well, will be easy after— we have done as well, will be easy after the _ we have done as well, will be easy after the game at the weekend to sit there and _ after the game at the weekend to sit there and think everything has gone out the _ there and think everything has gone out the window because it hasn't. a out the window because it hasn't. sell—out crowd here at dens park in one or another, sell-out crowd here at dens park in one or another,— one or another, whether european football or a _ one or another, whether european football or a partnership _ one or another, whether european football or a partnership title - one or another, whether european football or a partnership title it. football or a partnership title it will be dramatic. while the scottish premiership title race is one of those that's likely to be unresolved until right at the end of the season. two divisions in the efl are all wrapped up. wins last night for stockport in league two and portsmouth in league one saw them crowned champions with the latter reaching the second tier for the first time in 12 years. zesh rehman is part of their coaching staff. and was amongst the post

match celebrations. absolutely amazing. we knew what might happen when i say we, the coaching team and the players had seen images of previous seasons when there had been success but until you are in that moment and feel and see it for yourself, it is surreal. so really great to be a part of it and it is a memory that will stick with you for very long it is a club that will many will associate with its past first winning the fa cups in the 21st century, just being there for a couple of years now, what do you get in terms of the for a couple of years now, what do you get in terms 0— for a couple of years now, what do you get in terms 0 you get in terms of the sense of how bi the you get in terms of the sense of how big the club — you get in terms of the sense of how big the club is _ you get in terms of the sense of how big the club is and _ you get in terms of the sense of how big the club is and where _ you get in terms of the sense of how big the club is and where it - you get in terms of the sense of how big the club is and where it should i big the club is and where it should be? ., , ., be? you said it, it is a primarily club with a _ be? you said it, it is a primarily club with a premier _ be? you said it, it is a primarily club with a premier league - be? you said it, it is a primarily- club with a premier league history, even when you get to the stadium you see images of the fa cup and the crew plays that have been here over the years everything about the club is primarily extended. honestly believe we are in right now and the one we were going next is still below the premier league but everything is in place for the club to act and perform to that level

the australian is 8—5 up in a race to ten. elsewhere, last year's semi finalist, sijiahui of china is 7 4 up aginst his countryman wu yize. meanwhile he might not be the defending champion this year, but ronnie 0'sullivan will start as the one to beat at the crucible. the seven time winner is still resolutely producing his best, with a stellar season almost behind him... what would claiming a record world title number eight mean to him...? ifi if i did when it this year it would have to be the best season, masters, uk, shanghai, ican�*t have to be the best season, masters, uk, shanghai, i can't run by the key events i have one and i have not got this master plan where i've plotted out, ijust picked up and played and got it right and whenever i've got it right. sojust got it right and whenever i've got it right. so just keep playing regardless if i get to eight, great, nine, 1011, 12, ageist the number. i've realised once and around a snooker table i feel like a snooker table to look at teenagers that is all that really counts and i will just keep putting them in their

place. 0nce qualifying has completed tonight, tomorrow morning it's the draw for the 32 players who've made the world snooker championship. you can listen on 5 live breakfast around 845am. it'll also be on the bbc sport website and app. the majority of elite female athletes questioned for a new study support the categorisation of women's sport by biological sex, rather than gender identity. but, the numbers vary depending on the level at which the athlete that responded competes, their chosen sport mad whether they're retired or not. dr shane heffernan from swansea university was part of the study along with others from manchester metropolitan university. and says governing bodies seeking to make policy on the issue might find their work helpful. it is important to consider the athlete panels you have involved here. like our study show overtired athletes differed in opinion to current athletes which is a really important nuance considering some of these athlete advocacy panels may have retired athletes in them. so from that perspective of who sports

governing bodies choose to consult on this in terms of their own athletes also the diversity of opinion and there is important. more on that on the bbc sport website. let's have a quick look at some of the other stories making the headlines today. stephen williams has become the first british man to win the prestigious fleche wallone one day classic. he beat the elements and four brutal climbs of the mur de huy to add to his win at this year's tour down under. poland's kassia triumphed in the women's race pulling clear in the last 300 metres for her second major one day win and her first victory on the road since 2019 rafa nadal has been beaten in straight sets by world number 11 alex di minaur in the second round of the barcelona 0pen. the 22 time grand slam winner was returning from another long term injury in what could be his final

year before retirement. it's fast becoming something of an olympic tradition, but not only is marking 100 days to go until the games a chance to ratchet up the excitement. it's also the moment when all those preparing for the event that the event is well prepared for. then add in those athletes who are starting to find out if they're going and it's a time that paris 2024 starts to crystalise. we'll start sportsday�*s look ahead with dan roan. 0ur sports editor has been in the french capital to assess its progress towards readiness. 100 days to go until paris 2024 and the venues that will host the games themselves are rapidly taking shape as you can see, we are here in a temporary venue, 13,000 seat arena. it only began work you're only four weeks ago or so and it feels like it to sums completed, injune and will be. this is where the beach volleyball competition will take place, as you can see it is here in

the shadow of the most famous parisian landmark, the eiffel tower. this is what organisers want these games to be remembered for. sustainable venues, 95% of the infrastructure for these games will either be using existing buildings and venues or temporary ones like this. the only real new venue is being built to host sport is the aquatic centre in the area where the athletes' village is and where the olympic stadium itself is. but organisers saying they want this to be a very green and sustainable games for the good of the on the pick movement going forward and it is venues like us, they say, are a good example of that. well dan's also been speaking to those who's responsibility it is to make sure all those promises he mentioned are delivered. the key questions that have remained throughout the lead up to the games have surrounded the seine and security. from day one security is the top

priority. from day one we put in an an unprecedented system, the minister of the interior has really invested a lot like never before. evenif invested a lot like never before. even if we have this expertise in france to host a big international eventin france to host a big international event in good security, so my message is, you can be in confidence with this event. it will be well organised and the security is very the top are ready for all of us. these games will be so spectacular because _ these games will be so spectacular because as — these games will be so spectacular because as you can see our most iconic— because as you can see our most iconic venues are going to be hosting — iconic venues are going to be hosting some of the major events and transform _ hosting some of the major events and transform into like a beautiful offence — transform into like a beautiful offence and then we have as well and opening _ offence and then we have as well and opening ceremony taking place here on the _ opening ceremony taking place here on the river— opening ceremony taking place here on the river seine. he opening ceremony taking place here on the river seine.— on the river seine. he mentioned seine and of— on the river seine. he mentioned seine and of course _ on the river seine. he mentioned seine and of course there - on the river seine. he mentioned seine and of course there have i on the river seine. he mentioned i seine and of course there have been concerns over pollution levels and how that may affect swimming competitions, there is doubt on

track and its field. world athletics will pay its 48 gold medallists around 40,000 pounds. a break with olympic tradition. and one that has not only put other governing bodies in the spotlight, but frustrated the head of the british olympic association, who's called the decision �*divisive'... you have all of the info the great thing about the olympic committee is to have all of these committees coming together in the way that we should handle these opportunities in debates is in a communicative way. yesterday we were so rented also are swimmers going to paris and they are talking about this and has put pressure on the world swimming, the world swimming federation. i don't think that is the way we should do it in this world and i think that is inappropriate. tom dean made headlines with two gold medal—winning performances at tokyo 2020 — it was his parent's overnight garden party which arguably gained even more attention.

start, kevin de bruyne are also coming into the side. john stones of the bed and jude bellingham does start for real madrid as expected. and in munich, mikalarteta, when change, tacky hero tomiyasu comes in at fullback and harry kane and eric dyer both start for byron munich. followed on five life from city on five live sports extra for munich. that's it for now. good evening. sunshine for some, but not for all. that has been the story today, and when the shower clouds came, they were pretty threatening. quite a dramatic weather watcher picture here sent in from north wales. most of the showers have been out to the west first thing this morning, with these frontal systems sinking steadily south. through this evening, we have a clutch of showers just

clinging on to east anglia and south—east england. they fade away, skies clear, temperatures are likely to fall away, and gardeners and growers, take note, we could see a touch of light frost in sheltered western areas with low single figures. further north and west, we keep around 4 or 5 degrees, and that's because we have cloud and rain spilling in from another system, which will bring some wet weather as we go through the day. into the afternoon, perhaps the best of the sunshine in east anglia, the midlands and southern england, clouding over through north wales, north midlands, up into northern england, to close to the scottish borders, where there will be outbreaks of rain. the rain not too bad in northern ireland, but it will stay fairly persistent on and off through the north—west of scotland throughout the afternoon. the rain obviously having a little impact on the feel of the weather once again, only highs of 8 to 12 degrees, but we might see 15 celsius in the south—east with the best of the sunshine. there will be some rain for all of us at some point through thursday night into the early hours of friday morning, and then the high pressure really trying to influence its story.

however, because of the position of the high, we still pick up this northerly wind, so we will be chasing cloud amounts around. it's going to be a breezy day on friday, and that will have an impact on the feel of the weather once again. temperatures just below par, really, for the time of year. into the start of the weekend, the high pressure is continuing to nudge its way a little bit further north and east. this weather front could enhance some showery rain for a time across eastern scotland and maybe north—east england. it also, again, depends on the direction of the wind. because of the position of the high, we are continuing to drag in the wind from the north—east, so coming from scandinavia, a cooler source, and so that means that along north sea coasts, yes, at times, those temperatures struggling and there will be a few scattered showers. so west is best for not only sunshine, but also warmth this weekend.

it's 7pm in london. this is the world today with maryam moshiri. president biden urges netanyahu to ramp up aid supplies into gaza, writing on twitter that israel's efforts are "still not enough". the government's rwanda bill goes back to dealers as mps reject all changes proposed to the much debated asylum plan. —— back to the lords.

"israel will do whatever is needed to defend itself" — that was the message benjamin netanyahu delivered to the latest batch of politicians urging restraint in any move against iran. the uk foreign secretary david cameron and german foregn minister annalena baerbock have been meeting israeli leaders after the unprecedented missile and drone attack launched over the weekend, which was in itself a retaliatory move by iran for an attack in damascus. there are continued fears of a regional war. here's what the israeli prime minister said in the last few hours.
