hello and thanks forjoining us, where it was a night for the holders real madrid as they sent chelsea to yet another defeat in the opening leg of their uefa champions league quarterfinal, in a season that seems to lurch from one problem to the next for the londoners. the 14 time winners from spain claiming a 2 0 victory over caretaker manager frank lampard s side, while in an all italian clash, ac milan held off napoli at the san siro despite the visitors having a host of chances. joining me to chat through the two matches is our football reporterjoe lynskey. and, joe, carlo ancelotti s side may be struggling domestically, but in europe, theyjust seem to manage to grind out those results, don t they? yeah, they do, tulsen. it s been a mixed season for real madrid, as you alluded to there. it s been a chaotic season for the premier league side chelsea. this competition, the champions league, really represents their last opportunity to win a trophy this season, and they were wa
to kill a mockingbird. it is all a long way from the isle of wight where langley, whose biological father was egyptian, was adopted and grew up. back then, you probably weren t seeing, you know, yourself reflected back in many of the people on that island. no, i was, um. i think what they would describe me as is exotic , and it gave me a great sense of independence and, you know, i was bullied a little bit in school as well, and so i had to really tough it out. my tour guide is now dame donna for services to film and entertainment, a brit who is redefining showbusiness on earth and perhaps even in space. katie razzall, bbc news, los angeles. and you can hear the full interview with donna langley on the media show in the bbc sounds app. time for a look at the weather. here s nick miller. a double rainbow end to the day after the rain cleared with the sunshine appearing. still heavy showers around. we have seen quite a few continue into this evening. quite a lot of rain so far
gloucester hartpury s emma sing who gets her first start. however, the main talking points in the build up to this match have actually all been about wales, as they enter their second year of professionalism and the impact that those contracts have made. england have regularly been putting over 50 points on them, but has that gap started to close? the hopes are in wales that it has, but also the england captain molly parcer would like to see it close as well. this is what we want, because the simple fact is we want the game to grow, so that the better quality rugby that fans are seeing, the more fans we get in, then everything grows with that. and we don t want it tojust be an england/france massive game in the six nations. like, if it s england/wales, wales/france like, we want to be watching those kind of games as well and tactically and physically, that kind of game. the england head coach, simon middleton, has arguablyjust been tinkering with his world number one side despite hav
he started from pole and held on to top spot through the race. verstappen had started seventh after a grid penalty, but worked his way back to finish second behind hamilton and take a point for the fastest lap. but hamilton s win means if he can do the same at the last two grand prix s of the season he ll seal an eighth world title. this was the 35th different track he d won on in f1, he did so in a rainbow coloured helmet in the gulf state. manchester city kept up the pressure on league leaders chelsea with a 3 0 win at home to everton. city took the lead just before half time. a fantastic pass from joao cancelo picked out raheem sterling s run, and the england man put it away. their second was arguablyjust as good a long range thunderbolt from rodri after an everton clearance came his way. bernardo silva later added a third, in a convincing win. city are second in the premier league, three points behind chelsea. spurs take on leeds in the 4.30 kick off. but the news dominating this
