judith moritz reports from liverpool. the famous liver birds have long watched over liverpool. now, the city will also be overseen by the government, which will monitor parts of the council. the local government secretary, robertjenrick, said a damning inspector's report had found multiple failures. it paints a deeply concerning picture of mismanagement, the breakdown of scrutiny and accountability, a dysfunctional culture, putting the spending of public funds at risk and undermining the city's economic development. inspectors found an overall culture of intimidation, saying some whistle—blowers were too frightened to be publicly identified. they say the council needs a reset, and so independent commissioners will work with the current chief executive to make improvements. how can you give the people of liverpool the confidence that this is going to be sorted out? we fully accept the recommendations, we're not hiding from that at all, and we are absolutely determined to put these issues right and re—earn the respect of the people of liverpool, and all of the partners and st

hakim ziyech and emerson got the goals for chelsea against a side who not only beat liverpool at this stage of the competition last season, but who are also currently top of the spanish league. that shows just how good chelsea were over these two legs, and reflects their improvement, particularly in defence, since they sacked frank lampard and appointed thomas tuchel. in 13 games they've kept 11 clean sheets and still haven't lost a match in any competition. this is the furthest chelsea have been in the champions league in seven years. they may be the outsiders historically — but their coach is confident. fixes like this in results like this give you the certain edge in the certain clue to achieve a special thing. you can only do this with a special atmosphere right now we are in the draw. and we are pretty sure nobody wants to play against us. no need to be afraid. we take what we get it and we will prepare the best way possible. manchester city in the hat — and really interesting those quotes from pep guradiola on tuesday saying, "the first year i arrived here i was told we had

liverpool knows how to come back from an economic shock. former industrial areas have become creative, colourful spaces, and culture is likely to be at the heart of the city's covid recovery. this has created huge challenges for our public finances... andy's live events company has already taken out loans that will total £4 million to keep going. the extension of support schemes like the furlough scheme will be a huge help. furlough will be fantastic, the business rates will be fantastic, and whether it is enough time will tell, but ultimately for me at this moment in time too much of it has been around loans. the grants that are in place, the grant that has been allocated, it is imperative it goes to the right place. it takes some of the pressure off but until we are back in to places like this being 100% full consistently, then our sector truly isn't back. and as lockdown eases, there will be restart grants for high—street shops, pubs and hairdressers to help them get back on their feet. some of it is like a sigh of relief and some of

at liverpool he became a legendary figure, not only for the team, liverpool had been struggling in the second division. bill shankly himself said it was the start of liverpool becoming a great club. he scored a goal in the fa cup final, a cracker of a header that won it in extra time. anyone who has done that enough in the game anyway. all the other things he did as well. he started to bring liverpool to become what it was, a giant of world football. liverpool players past and present have been quick to pay tribute on social media... vice—captain james milner said simply... "rip ian stjohn — what a player, what a man". left—back andy robertson wrote... "a man of warmth, humour, knowledge, wisdom and joy. scotland and liverpool has lost a true giant". this from former captain phil thompson... "so sad to hear of the passing of the saint. he gave me one of my greatest childhood memories in him winning the fa cup in �*65". ex forward john aldridge said... "so sad to hear the news of the great ian stjohn passing away. what an inspiration watching from the terraces at anfield he was,

( laughs ). >> stephen: are you-- are you livered puddling yourself? >> no, i'm not. i'm working in liverpool. >> stephen: why did you laugh or did you not like me saying liverpuddling? >> you were quite correct. i think if i was liverpuddling, that would have come up before in one of our meetings. i think would. and also i wouldn't sound like this. >> stephen: what would you sound like, martin freeman? >> why don't you show me what you would sound like? >> stephen: well, i certainly enjoyed being in "the hobbit" with peter jackson. that was nice. that's not bad a

well, the champions league continues later on wednesday as liverpool take on rb leipzig in budapest. lots of speculation surrounding the future of the liverpool bossjurgen klopp as his side continue to struggle in the premier league. liverpool have lost eight times since january to drop from the top of the table to eighth — klopp's side are looking to rediscover their best form in this competition, where they lead leipzig 2—0 from the first leg. not that i know we will go through 100%, but i know we will give them a proper fight and that is the only thing i need to know when the moment and for all the rest, yeah, there is no guarantee for nothing, not for them or us but there are 95 minutes to use, to get closer to the things you want. in the women's champions league, chelsea are in last 16 second leg action when they face atletico madrid, holding a 2—0 advantage. emma hayes�*s side, who are top of the women's super league in england, are in the italian city of monza because of travel restrictions between the uk and spain. roger federer returns to a tennis court for the first

the former liverpool captain was to prove them right. hisjourney former liverpool captain was to prove them right. his journey would take three years. for the club, it would be ten. after a decade of the most incredible turmoil, rangers are back at the top of scottish football. chris mclaughlin, bbc news. congratulations to rangers. let's take a look at some of the other sports news stories making the headlines today. romanian fourth official sebastian coltescu has been suspended by uefa until the end of the season for "inappropriate behaviour" during the champions league group game between paris st—germain and istanbul basak—se—hir in december. the game was stopped after coltescu was accused of using a racist term towards basak—se—hir coach pierre webo. uefa found coltescu had not breached rules regarding racism. major reform to the way the champions league is structured is close to being agreed, according to the chairman of the european club association. the proposals include increasing the competition to 36 teams, and overha

more woe for liverpool as chelsea make it five home defeats in a row for the premier league champions. first, the plates slipped gently off the restaurant tables, then suddenly the tables, chairs and the people crashed sideways and downwards. it was just a matter of seconds as the ferry lurched onto her side. the hydrogen bomb, on a remote pacific atoll, and the americans have successfully tested a weapon whose explosive force dwarfed that dropped on hiroshima. i heard the news earlier and i was so heart went bang. the constitutional rights of these . marchers and their rights asj citizens of the united states means they should be protected even the right to protect them l out so they don't get their i heads broken and are sent to hospital. it's a religious controversy and i know you don't want to say too much about it. does it worry you?. i think everything will be all right in the end, as they say. this is bbc news, the latest headlines. australia insists it has enough doses of corona vaccines despite italy blocking the quarter million doses of the astrazeneca vaccine. brazilian pre

stjohn joined liverpool in 1961 from motherwell and was a key member of the famous bill shankly side, that became one of the biggest teams in europe. capped 21 times by scotland — he later established a career in television alongside jimmy greaves, for the popular saint and greavsie show back in the �*80s and �*90s, and former liverpool defender phil thompson told us earlier of his fondness of watching it. we'll always remember the saint's laugh on there. it was quite loud, and he would just laugh at everything that came about. so it was different. yes, they were serious when it needed it. but they had a laugh, they had the craic, they'd have a little bit of fun banter — and it made our saturday afternoons. so it was something different from what we'd always been served. the government has backed a plan by the football associations of the uk and ireland to put together a joint bid to host the world cup in 2030. prime minister borisjohnson is fully on board, pledging £2.8 million to kick—start the process. a formal bid wouldn't begin to take shape until next year, after the
