play, champions league, so, yeah. — we have to be in the top four, so next year we're back in the champions league and of course we have the fa cup, so there are still many things to pay for. let's bring you up to date with the other results on tuesday. we've mentioned it, but the surprise package of the group stages, fc copenhagenjoining bayern munich in the last 16 courtesy of that win at—home against galatasaray. in group c, napoli go through with real madrid — worth noting that napoli's second goal was scored by the newly crowned african footballer of the year, victor osimhen. in group a, lens will be heading to the europa league after they beat sevilla 2—1 and courtesy of the 1—1 draw between arsenal and psv eindhoven in the netherlands. arsenal manager mikel arteta happy with his side's return to europe's premier competition. very positive overall, six or seven years without being in the competition with a team that hasn't got a lot of experience, i think we have competed very, very well. i really like the approach of the team in every single game, the way we have tried to play and dominate opponents. we have some big results, and big experiences as well. newcastle united manager eddie howe believes that wednesday's champions league match with ac milan "has got all the hallmarks of being a special game." newcastle must see off the italian side at st james�* park to reach the knockout stages and hope paris st—germain do not beat already qualified borussia dortmund. newcastle are third in group f, level on points with milan and two points behind second—placed psg. we are desperate to stay in this competition, first and foremost, and if we can't, then stay involved in europe. we worked so hard to get into this position in the first place. we gave everything last year to try and achieve european football. we don't want to give it away lightly, so our intention on behalf of me, the players, the coaching staff is to do everything we can to try and win the match. there's an interesting meeting in group h on wednesday as shakhtar donetsk play porto. two sides level on points in the group meaning it's a winner—takes—all clash for a place in the knockout stage of the competition. shakhtar are on a good run, having won three matches in a row in all competitions without conceding a single goal, a stat that will boost their confidence going into this crucial fixture. the main goal is achieved, but we are professional football players, so a professional team, and we are very ambitious, so if you are so close to achieving your highest level, so then you have to go 100% for that. great that we are there in europe, but we want more, and we are going to play for more. so that is for sure. erling haarland will miss manchester city's final group game against red star belgrade on wednesday. there's nothing riding on the match with city already group winners. and guardiola will ring the changes as he looks ahead to the club world cup in saudi arabia next week. we are going to rotate some players, but because we have three days travel, five, six hours, three days, three days, semifinal, potentialfinal, so i am very pleased to see any players that didn't play lately be involved in the team, absolutely i am very pleased. well, two teams who are already in saudi are al—ittihad and auckland city. karim benzema created club world cup history for the saudi arabian side by becoming the first player to score in four editions of the tournament as the home side booked their place in the second round after a 3—0 win over the new zealanders. romarinho opened the scoring in the 29th minute with a deflected effort before french world cup winner n'golo kante doubled the lead five minutes later with a superbly struck volley. benzema completed the scoring in the 40th minute to set up friday's tie with the african champions al—ahly. turkish football bosses have suspended all leagues in the country indefinitely following an incident in a top—flight game where a referee was punched to the ground by a club president on monday. referee halil umut meler was struck by faruk koja, the president of super lig side ankara, who ran onto the pitch after his side conceded a 97th minute equaliser against chaykur rizespor. koca and two others were formally arrested for "injuring a public official." meler there, seen on your screen, was called in his hospital bed by the turkish president on tuesday. doctors confirmed he'd suffered a fractured eye socket. turkish football journalist bagis erten says the kind of language used by the big clubs, and even the turkish football federation this season has been completely unacceptable. presidents of big clubs, vice presidents, all the members, even the turkish football federation didn't take responsibility to really prevent those discussions, but these are not discussions, these are sometimes threats, these are mostly almost violence, because they i think raise their fists but didn't punch, just raised their fists. the figure is ankara president, but i think behind it, many of them are responsible. violence against referees has been a growing issue here in the uk as well. we caught up with former english official keith hackett for his thoughts on the incident in turkey and his concerns about football closer to home. i was really, really shocked. i mean, you know, this is a fifa referee, this is a game at the elite level where you would expect some modicum of security that would prevent this. watching the brutality, you have to say this is not anything to do with football. not anything to do with a refereeing decision. you know, this guy has got to be banned for life from football. this guy is a complete and utter disgrace. the turkish fa must be hanging their heads in shame because this is a president of the football club. he's not a fan, he's someone in authority that should be setting an example, and where behaviour goes over the top and out of control, then i think that's up to the authorities and, in some cases, the police to deal with that. this is a referee, 37 years old, fifa official regarded very highly and i understand this morning he is considering whether he should continue as a referee. that is so, so sad. juventus, and italy legend giorgio chiellini has announced his retirement at the age of 39, describing his career as "the most beautiful and intense journey of his life." the centre—half made his name atjuventus, where he won nine consecutive serie a titles from 2011 to 2020, and was also a crucial player for his country, captaining the azzurri as they won euro 2020. he had been playing in major league soccer with lafc, who reached the mls cup final this season. after the first match was washed out, india have lost the second t20 on their tour of south africa. rain affected tuesday's match too. having reached 180/7, india lost the final three balls of their innings to rain, with gerald coetzee denied a chance at a hat—trick. south africa were set a revised target of 152 runs from 15 overs. there was a strong innings by aiden markram and reeza hendricks — the latter falling just short of his 50 — laid the platform, for the five—wicket win with seven balls to spare. to rugby union, and henry arundell will be ineligible for england selection after signing a new two—year deal to play club rugby for racing 92 in france. the 21—year—old wing joined the paris side, after london irish went bankrupt. he was given special dispensation to play in the upcoming six nations, but that has been revoked, after he chose to stay longer in france rather thanjoin an english club. the new contract means rfu rules, not allowing players based abroad to be selected for england, now apply. arrundel announced his arrival to racing fans with a hat—trick against toulon last month. that is, sadly, all the time we have left for now. from me and the rest of the team at the bbc sport centre, bye—bye. hello there. wednesday's weather will see big improvements. it will brighten up very nicely from the west, and over the next few days, for the vast majority of us, it will turn a lot drier as high pressure starts to build in from the south, also turning milder into the weekend with westerly winds and temperatures rising across the board into double figures once more. now, that very slow—moving area of low pressure continues to meander its way into the near continent. still plenty of cloud, some showery outbreaks of rain for much of eastern england, and we're keeping that cloud here too for much of the day, but it'll brighten up very nicely across northern england, much of wales and down through the southwest of england. still rather blustery for irish sea coasts, but some more sunshine for northern ireland and for much of scotland. but some lingering freezing fog for quite some time, and it will be feeling colder as well, 5 to 10 degrees celsius, north to south, with quite a chilly northerly wind blowing. but it's only a brief cold spell, because then we've got a warm front waiting out towards the northwest that's going to be pushing southwards and eastwards on wednesday night, turning briefly to snow across the highlands, the pennines, the cheviot southern uplands perhaps before quickly turning back to rain, and that weather front is weakening as it pushes southwards and eastwards, bringing milderfeeling air. of course, a few patches of drizzle, some increased cloud for the southeast of england on thursday afternoon. but, again, an improving picture from the west and some showers just pushing into western scotland too. temperatures starting to climb for many towards the west, but still rather chilly towards the south and the east. now, on friday morning, a cold start again for the south and the east will see a lot of cloud out towards the west, a southwesterly wind now, and we're starting to see some showers out towards the northwest of scotland too. temperatures will be creeping up with that southwesterly wind of course. high pressure is building in from the south. so if we just take a look at the bigger picture — you can see that high here starting to extend in from the south, and that's sending all of the weather fronts scooting out towards the north and the west. so we'll still see some outbreaks of rain across parts of northern scotland. it will still be mild here. we've got brisk westerly winds, so there won't be any issues with frost and fog and, in fact, temperatures are set to rise as we head through the weekend. so we'll be seeing 11 or 12 degrees celsius, 13 for some. the milder air set to stick around for the rest of the week, and it should be largely dry for most. bye— bye. live from washington, this is bbc news. president zelensky wraps up his visit to washington, with a plea to lawmakers — divided over further aid to ukraine. the un's climate body publishes a draft deal at cop28, but the language on fossil fuels is watered down. and the un general assembly overwhelmingly demands a ceasefire in gaza. but the measure is not binding and the violence continues. hello. i'm sumi somaskanda. russian air strikes have reportedly struck the capital city, kyiv, injuring at least 25 people. these are the latest images from the scene. mayor vitali klitschko said on telegram that the attack also damaged a children's hospital. it's the second strike on kyiv in a week — and it come as ukrainian president volodmyr zelensky wraps up a whirlwind visit to washington where he sought more us support for his country's war against russia. ukraine's counteroffensive has stalled in recent weeks, even as the country continues to come under attack from the air and on the ground. while in washington, mr zelensky appealed to us lawmakers for the $61 billion laid out for ukraine as part of a larger package that has stalled in congress. but he may fly home with less than he hoped as republicans and democrats are divided on the aid. mr zelensky spoke with us senators on capitol hill hoping to convince them of his cause. the ukrainian president then headed to the white house to meet with presidentjoe biden — who announced an additional $200 million in weapons and equipment for ukraine. but the war—time president is still hoping for more. today's discussion across both parties in both chambers were very productive.
