Weve been waiting for this moment for quite some time, weve been hoping that we would pierce through the Russian Defence line, the first defence line, which was the hardest to pierce through, if you believe Military Experts when they talk about it. So hopefully now when we reach the second and third lines of defence that the russians have established, those will be easier to essentially overcome. And perhaps hopefully this is the spot, this is the place where we can actually put all the modern nato technology, the tanks that weve been getting and the training that weve been receiving put all of that to use to our advantage. And just really, really briefly, the hope from your side that ukraines military has managed to break through these defences, how does that sit in the war across the country . Is this a key moment, would you say . Hopefully its a key moment. Again, well see what happens. Its hard to predict any at any point, including at this point. But we know what the objectives ar

We have a Common Objective of liberating ukraine, notjust for ukraine, but for the whole western developed democratic world, because this is a standoff between democracies and authoritarian systems, and its really key for everybody to chip in
Both sides have won just one of their opening four games and will likely need to win their remaining five to qualify for a top four spot, and semifinal place. So plenty at stake here. A blow for Newcastle United in europe, they were beaten by dortmund at stjames park in their Champions League group game. Eddie howe s side failed to capture the intensity that saw them hammer Paris Saint Germain in their last group match. Felix nmecha scored the only goal of the game for the german side, the win lifting them above newcastle in the group but they share the same points. The manager wants to put the result behind them. Of course disappointment because we havent won and weve lost the game. It wasnt to be, so we have to take it, and, as i say, review the game. Very turn our attention now to wells, but nothing is lost, was still there, was still fighting but weve got some tough games ahead. Well psgs comfortable 3 0 win over ac milan puts them back at the top of that group but its mighty close
Hello and thanks for joining us on sportsday. Theres only one place to start and thats at Tottenham Hotspur stadium where Manchester City have taken a huge stride towards a fourth Consecutive Premier League title after they beat spurs 2 0 in a tension filled match with so much at stake. The hosts came into the game as the kingmakers, a win or draw for them would have handed the advantage to their arch rivals arsenal going into the final day, so a bizzare scenario of arsenal fans supporting spurs but despite several opportunities and the city keeper Stefan Ortega picking up the man of the match award, its Manchester City who now lead the table by two points.

At the big moment came in the last five minutes when it was only 1 0 and so on ran through the tottenham one on one with the goalkeeper who would come on as a substit
