for? can you win a world championship at 50, who knows? i'm probably the only player who is able to do that. we're starting with the premier league because just look at the table, manchester city are now only a point behind leaders arsenal and they have a game in hand, although arsenal still have superior goal difference — but city are doing their best with that, they scored four tonight against brighton without conceding — and they were dominant throughout — phil foden with two goals and the others scored by kevin de bruyne and julian alvarez. if city can go all the way and win the premier league again, it'll be their fourth in a row, something no club has ever done before. every game is a mystery, what happened is important that we are there. there's a lot of games to play, a lot, a lot and difficult ones. starting for, you know in the spirit when you go to play and teams like they are fighting to stay in the premier league, always it is difficult and it's tough, i did that twice, recover, relax and all the energy with progression before the day and especially the moment of the game, be ready. it's looking increasingly likely that arne slot will be jurgen klopp�*s replacement at liverpool when he leaves at the end of the season. the current feyenoord manager confirmed to dutch media that he wants to join liverpool and that "the two clubs are negotiating" while he "awaits the outcome". feyenoord won the eredivisie title under slot last year. here are the thoughts of neil atkinson from the anfield wrap. english football throws up its own set of challenges. the premier league does so you can be really good into brantley at feyenoord and coming into a good set up at liverpool and coming into what look for the third best team in the country. this is a side who are streets of head of the one that kloppjoined in 2015. he joined a side that would go on it's easy to finish eighth and i think it finished sixth or seventh year before and they looked a world away from being able to challenge for the league title. besides, this is a challenge as it have fallen short of a couple of weeks earlier that we would've liked with that team is arne slot as you need to manage from day one. the thing i'm not going to do is sort of act as though thejob is not as hard as the one that klopp had to do. he had to get liverpool back to the top of the mountain. arne slot�*s job to keep them there and with some silverware along the way. xabi has explained why he's staying at barcelona as head coach. he'd announced back in january that he's leaving at the end of the season — for the good of the club. but now he's agreed to stay at barca who are second in la liga, 11 points behind leaders real madrid. translation: circumstances have been changed- _ translation: circumstances have been changed. next _ translation: circumstances have been changed. next season - translation: circumstances have been changed. next season will. been changed. next season will have to fight again if things go bad but i know this club. the main motive wasn't because of the pressure, i would feel, as coach, from the club. had it been the case and i never would've accepted the job, so i continue here with the utmost happiness. the man behind red bull's formula one success — adrian newey — is leaving following the contraversy around the team principal christian horner. newey is regarded as the greatest fi designer and won multiple constructors' and drivers' championships with williams and maclaren before masterminding red bull's success including max verstappen�*s current domination. but newey is said to be unsettled by the situation at red bull since team principal — horner was accused and then cleared of sexual harassment and coercive, abusive behaviour by a female employee. here's our formula one correspondent andrew benson. there's been a big power struggle going on at red bull ever since these allegations emerged, as you say, horner denies them. but horner emerged, as you say, horner denies them. but homer and the red bull sport adviser, a man called helmet marco, there is dispute between the two sets of shareholders. the main shareholders. the main shareholder in thailand and the one in australia, and he has found himself in the middle of the situation he finds uncomfortable, so he's decided after nearly 20 years it's time to move onto another team of formula i. to move onto another team of formula 1. he's the greatest formula 1. he's the greatest formula i designer and history. that's how important is. now, at red bull in recent years, it's been kind of been a messaging starting to emerge that he's not as important as he used to be, you know he's not working on formula i any more, but mostly in formula i, more, but mostly in formula 1, people believe he is the overarching single figure who is primarily responsible responsible even though of course teams have large design departments and red bull is obviously very good. and he would explain and why he thinks an example of these technical regulations governing formal one at the moment, what he thinks red bull have got a march on everyone else and that was down to him. aston martin have made him a very lucrative offer come he's already earning a large salary at red bull, for already have been trying to get him on a number of occasions and are definitely interested again. but of course, there's also two other top teams in mercedes and mclaren, mclaren by the way, he's worked at before. he masterminded championships in 1998 and 1999, anyone who can afford him and basically any of the top time teams are going to be interested in having him for sure. ronnie 0'sullivan�*s hopes of a record eighth world snooker championship title are still alive ater he eased into the second round in sheffield. the rocket won the two frames he needed to finish—off his opening match against jackson page, sealing a 10—1 victory and set—up a meeting with another welshman — ryan day — next. 0'sullivan is also aiming to complete snooker�*s triple crown in a single season, following his wins at the uk championship and the masters. after that match the rocket said he thinks he is capable of winning another world title in his 50s. he's already the oldest snooker world champion after winning two years ago at the age of 46. i've already broken records for snooker, still going at 48 or a9, so i am just seeing what is possible to stop what is possible question mark what is possible to stop what is possible? how long can i go for? can i win a world championship at 50? who knows? i am probably the only player who can do that so let's experiment. to do what i have done this season and for your whole career, to win i've had a great careerfor 30 years stop the gracious career of any other snooker player, how many people can they have been the best or most at theirjob ever was to mark i have to give myself a bit at theirjob ever? i have to give myself a bit of a pat on the back because i'm always hard on myself but no one has achieved what i have achieved on the tables i'm not a statistics guy and you guys are, but ijust want to enjoy it and keep playing. like i said, what is possible? if i had my head straight for 30 years, i could have won ten or 12 titles by now but we will see what happens. the four times world champion — john higgins is also through to the last 16. the scotsman beat jamiejones from wales ten frame to six. and the number two seed — judd trump is 6—2 up in his second round match against tom ford after the first session. now to a sport hoping to return to the olympics — trail running. will pitts is part of a team running from london to paris to campaign for it's inclusion in the games in brisbane in

degrees. into the second half of the weekend, we see this area of low pressure drifting northwards. that's going to bring outbreaks of rain for some, especially across the eastern side of the uk. but it may well be that some of this rain comes a little bit further westwards, affecting quite large parts of england and wales, maybe clipping into eastern scotland. the further west you are, though, it's that mix of sunny spells and showers. some of the showers will be on the heavy side. temperatures between 9—12, maybe 13 degrees in the southwest. but as we head into next week, it does look like things will slowly but surely warm up. we start to bring a feed of winds from the near continent. these orange colours on our air mass chart. temperatures are set to climb, perhaps up to 19 or 20 degrees celsius through the middle part of the week. but that doesn't mean sunshine all the way, still unsettled with some rain at times. welcome to newsday, reporting live from singapore. i'm mariko oi. the headlines: a new york court overturns harvey weinstein's 2020 conviction for rape, ordering a new trial in the landmark #metoo case. the actress ashleyjudd speaks of her fury at the ruling. this is what it is like to be a woman in america, living with mail entitlement to our bodies. —— male. the us supreme court hears arguments on whether donald trump is immune from prosecution for actions he took as president. top us diplomat antony blinken is in beijing as the two superpowers attempt to repair their relationship. and besieged by tourists — venice starts charging day—trippers to visit. is this the way forward for overwhelmed cities?
