after the game and liverpool championship side middlesbrough will play chelsea. the semifinals take place across two legs next month. we ll have more football results for you injust a moment, but let s stay in england, because a day after the club sacked steve cooper, nuno espirito santo has his feet under the desk at nottingham forest. the portuguese takes charge of his third premier league club after spells at wolves and spurs, asjoe lynskey reports. they re five points above the drop zone. the man in charge hauled them up from the depths of the second tier. but this week at forest, things have changed quickly. steve cooper s been sacked and, within 2a hours, nuno s come in. and forest want him to take them up a level. big, big chance. very honoured. it s a pleasure to be at forest and be able to manage such a great club with such great history. what i expect is to help, to help, try to transmit my knowledge and my ethic work to the players so they can become better, a bett
british soldiers from prosecution. i think this is the honorable approach. we are guarantors of the good friday agreement. we believe that the legacy act injures the good friday agreement violates a core part of the good friday agreement, which is the human rights foundations that underpin it. we do it reluctantly because we are conscious of the need, obviously to maintain good relations with the united kingdom. we have great cooperation on a whole range of issues. we have a desired objective in seeing the institutions restored in northern ireland. we re very disappointed that they haven t been restored to date. but nonetheless, i think the good friday agreement is an international treaty that was entered into by the two governments and all of the political parties in northern ireland. and i m very clear that unilateralism is not the way to deal with issues relating to the good friday agreement. there has to be a collective response. let s speak to mark devenport former the
and we re starting with a busy night of european football. and all four british sides topping their groups in the europa league. brighton were celebrating after a very late goal at home to marseille meant they beat them to an automatic place in the last 16. it finished 1 0 at the amex. brighton willjoin west ham who also topped their group after beating freiburg 2 0. rangers, who beat real betis to keep sparta prague in second place, and liverpool, who went through regardless of their defeat to union saint gilloise. elsewhere, villa real beat rennes which means they take the top spot in group f but despite winning tonight, roma will have to play off after slavia prague stayed top of their group. well, liverpool were already safely through which gave the managerjurgen klopp the opportunity to give some of his star names a rest and take a look at the club s talented youngsters. for some, a really important experience and for others it was good for rhythm. so good performances a
talented youngsters. it was a really important experience and the other is good for rhythm. so good performances and, of course, as a team, is a fair assessment, if they say now, top of the table belgium and come here and bring kids and altogether that is really difficult, but i thought they gave it a go and thatis thought they gave it a go and that is ok for me. aston villa are into the last 16 of the europa conference league. they could only draw at the bosnian side, zrinjski mostar, but that was enough to seal the top spot in theirgroup. unai emery had made eight changes from the side that beat arsenal last weekend. aberdeen were already out of the competition, but they managed their first group stage victory in nearly 16 years after beating bundesliga giants eintracht frankfurt 2 0. it was a frustrating night for chelsea women who missed out on the chance to top their champions league group. they were held to a goalless draw by the swedish side hacken, who stay top ahead
not djokovic. british victory in the open single seemed imperative but kecmanovic was super strong and extremely consistent. said he felt the pressure but he thrived. britain s captain leon smith has been through all of this before. draper, at 21, not so much. ranked just below his opponent, draper took kecmanovic to two tie breaks but he lost them both. serbia celebrated as if they knew what was coming. well, here he is. novak djokovic tried to settle it. in the blue corner, cameron norrie. good luck. there were some british voices in the crowd trying to hurry djokovic up when he served. but when he won the first set, the gesture was aimed back at them. good natu red, probably. djokovic wrapped up the match in straight sets, job done for serbia. then he went to do an on court interview seemingly near some noisy british supporters. wasn t broadcast at the time, but was captured on a mobile phone. djokovic suggests they learn how to respect players and behave. britain out. dav
