manchester united at the weekend as well. el shaarawy scored twice, a dominant display at home by roma. their fans we re display at home by roma. their fans were absolutely loving it, perotti also on the scoresheet. so a wonderful performance by roma, top of the group. chelsea, the nerves are there. they would have got through with a win to the last 16, but still their hopes hanging in the balance. psg look in emphatic form, qualifying in their group. i have a potential winners in the champions league? if you go on form, psg are the most impressive team. another incredible performance, 5—0 win against anderlecht. everyone talks about neymar, who was on the scoresheet with a super strike, but it was kurzawa who scored three goals in one game. psg have already booked their place in the last 16, and as it stands, i would say they are favourites to win the champions league. and bayern munich are through as well. they played celtic, who were superb, bayern played a professionaljob but they who were superb, bayern played a professional job but they were lucky. they scored with about 13 minutes left after celtic had equalised through mcgregor. at the bottom of your screen, group b, barcelona and juventus could have got through, but they will have to wait because olympiakos were frustrated. right at the top of your screen, basel would have got through with a win, but cska

ashes. they are in perth, where they will face a waca 11 on saturday. england are preparing for the series, initially at least, without key all—rounder ben stokes. his absence has strengthened australia's position as favourites, but batsmanjames vince doesn't seem perturbed by a confident australian outfit. obviously a lot of talk in the media, a lot of talk from their players, and that sort of thing, which is quite enjoyable, to be honest. it hopes it up. it is good fun to listen to some comments. mitchell starc is already so suggested that the middle order of england are a bit susceptible. suggested that the middle order of england are a bit susceptiblelj suggested that the middle order of england are a bit susceptible. i am sure we will hear more about middle order, top order, bowling attacks, spinners, everything. but yes, it is something a bit extra, and i think they are putting pressure on themselves as much is anything to come out and make sure that they perform from the word go. and a few of the guys mentioned it doesn't go quite so well for them early they can quickly turn on each other, and the media, and it can be hard for them. so a good start for us is vital, and hopefully turn around some of this pressure. james vince talking to the bbc‘s charles dagnall there. now, wednesday marks 100 days to go until the start of the 2018 winter olympics. greece

system which underpins paralympic sport is not fit for purpose, and athletes have been bullied into keeping quiet — that is according to 11—time paralympic champion baroness grey—thompson. she was speaking at a parliamentary hearing in the united kingdom into claims athletes were cheating the system. it also heard from the father of one paralympian, who named another person that he says has been competing in the wrong category. here is our sports editor dan roan. britain's established itself as one of the world's leading paralympic nations. but behind the glory there is growing concern that the classification of athletes according to disability is being manipulated for medals. 11 time paralympic medallist baroness grey—thompson delivered a report in the duty of ca re delivered a report in the duty of care earlier this year and she told mps that the system is being increasingly abused and athletes are being warned to keep quiet. increasingly abused and athletes are being warned to keep quietm increasingly abused and athletes are being warned to keep quiet. in some cases people are being told not to talk about classification. why the government? by the government and a variety of people in the system. it is somewhere between control and bullying. sophie han and olivia green are two of britain's top olympians. today, green's father said he had been told by the athletes coached that hahn may have been competing in the wrong category. within the conversation she told me that the athlete in question, ms hahn, didn't have cerebral palsy but she had learning difficulties, but she had ended up with a cerebral palsy classification. tonight, in a statement, hahn said that last year the international pa ralympic committee had confirmed that she had been classified correctly, after a review, and that it was distressing to face repeated an unfounded allegations. i know i to face repeated an unfounded allegations. i knowl have had a lot of accusations thrown at myself, but thatis of accusations thrown at myself, but that is simply because my class is a lwa ys that is simply because my class is always described as a cerebral palsy class, and i do not have cerebral palsy. but that is just simply lazy analysis of what our classification is. every single disability in the world is different, so you can't compare one to another, as much as we try. the classification of athletes is not an exact science but today's evidence will intensify calls for more intelligent and robust assessments. international paralympic committee robust assessments. international pa ralympic committee has robust assessments. international paralympic committee has announced a review of certain categories. paralympic committee has announced a review of certain categorieslj think the danger of a narrative that we are hearing in parts is that we believe that unless we are at that level of understanding which we are aspiring to that we are somehow looking at something which is broken, and we are not. the evidence we have received suggest it is more serious than that, and we need to have supported measures and new leadership. such has been a success, some of britain's paralympian ‘s household names, but once again, questions are being asked about the cost of the country's pursuit of medals. if you were looking forward to seeing the future king of athletics at next yea r‘s commonwealth games, then you are set to be disappointed. south africa's olympic gold—medallist wayde van niekerk was anointed as the next superstar of the track by usain

that's bbc.com/sport. but, from me and the rest of the sport today team, goodbye. hello there. mixed fortunes in our weather during the day ahead. southern areas should see more in the way of sunshine than they did during tuesday. a feed of drier air from the near continent, around this area of high pressure. but, up to the north, it is all about this weather front, a weather front which will bring a slow—moving band of rain, heavy rain for a time, across southern and south—western scotland, particularly during the first part of the morning. to the north of the frontal system, there'll be a mixture of sunny spells and heavy showers. but it's this rain, around the glasgow area, for instance, stretching towards edinburgh, that could actually cause some spot issues and persistent heavy rain during the morning rush hour. into the midlands and east anglia and the south—east, there'll be the odd fog patch through the first part of the morning. fog tending to clear, though, and it'll be a fairly bright day, with increasing amounts of sunshine. the south—west of england starting off on a bright note. again, there could be the odd fog patch. similar story across parts of wales. temperatures nine degrees in cardiff at 8:00am in the morning. more cloud in northern ireland, and here is our weatherfront again, just beginning to fringe in towards the north coast at this stage. as we go on through the day, our frontal system will only move very slowly southwards, although the rain along it will tend to ease. to the north, it's a mixture of sunshine and heavy showers. to the south, certainly for much of england and wales, we're looking at a dry day and an increasingly bright one. there should be some spells of sunshine. 16 in london. that won't feel too bad, if the skies are blue. now, during wednesday night, our frontal system finally gets a move on and pushes its way southwards. at this stage, reallyjust a band of cloud and some spots of drizzle. underneath the cloud it will be fairly mild, but to the north and south, will be fairly chilly, and certainly across southern areas of england, could be some fog around on thursday morning. now, on thursday, this area of cloud from our old weather front, with some spots of patchy rain and drizzle, will drift slowly southwards. further north, sunny skies, but generally a dip in the temperatures. eight degrees in aberdeen, 12 in cardiff. friday will be dry and bright enough for many of us. but a change up here to the north—west, and another weatherfront sinking in, initially a weak affair. but, as we go through friday night, that frontal system is likely to bump in some warm air pushing in temporarily from the continent. that will bring some heavy rain across england and wales and once all of that clears away, some really cold airfor the weekend, the air coming all the way from the arctic. so yes, there will be some sunny spells, but also some showers as well. perhaps wintry over the high ground in the north, and for all of us, a chilly wind. welcome to bbc news, my name is mike embley. our top stories: at least 8 people are killed in new york by a man who drove a truck into pedestrians and cyclists in lower manhattan. he's been shot and is in custody. police say the suspect moved to the us from uzbekistan in 2010. the mayor of new york says the attack is being treated as deliberate but says there's no evidence so far of a wider plot. let me be clear, based on the information we have, at this moment, this was an act of terror and a particularly cowardly act of terror. president trump describes the attacker as "sick and deranged" tweeting that the us must not allow the islamic state group to return or enter the country after being defeated in the middle east.
