we start with a troubling landmark for the climate as 2023 smashes the record, for the world s hottest year ever recorded. european scientists say, that 2023 left the records tumbling like dominoes . the average global temperature in the past 12 months was 14.98 degrees. that beats the previous hottest year set in 2016 by 0.17 degrees. the announcement was made by the eu s climate change service. and the met office in the uk believes this record could be short lived, as their forecasts suggest 2024 could be even hotter. earlier, i spoke to our climate editor, justin rowlatt, who told me that record was broken by some margin. yeah, it is interesting, isn t it? the margin, as you say, was 0.17 celsius. you might say, well, that doesn t sound very much to me, but remember, this is a global average, an average across the entire globe day and night across the entire year, and normally scientists say they expect it to be broken by a tiny fraction of a degree, 0.01, 0.02, not

Own goalfrom joel matip. Not as a manager of liverpool, so much more as a football person, i think the only outcome should be a replay. That is how it is. It would happen again. I think a replay would be the right thing to do or the referee has the opportunity to bring both coaches together and say, sorry, we made a mistake, but we can sort it. And we start from there. Champions League Football will return to St James Park for the first time in 20 years later, as eddie howe s newcastle take on paris st germain. Newcastle drew their first game on their return to the competition against ac milan and will now face the french champions, who won their first game against borussia dortmund.
