we know he has some incredible in him. he showed it here. so very good. but then we went passive and everything went in the game and they were above buffers in the rest of the first half. so i was not happy with that performance. we were so too passive, too low. you bring yourself in trouble. played well. the first half dominated the chance count and made some very good ones. kept them to minimal. so i was very pleased at half time and second half they got a penalty so early, you know, and it's what's the point? i mean, the vr thing is such a simple thing and making it so complex for me, it's bizarre. in spain's la liga, real madrid's rodrygo struck twice and jude bellingham scored his 11th league goal of the season as the visitors enjoyed a 3—0 win at cadiz on sunday to move to the top of the table. carlo ancelotti's side are now on 35 points, one clear of

at the bbc sport app, orfrom our website — that's bbc.com/sport. from me and the rest of the team at the bbc sport centre, goodbye. hello, there. if you thought sunday was a cold day, well done. you go to the top of the class. yeah, it was cold across large areas of the uk. really cold as well. temperatures in landrum near inverness only got to 0.4 degrees celsius than november average. meanwhile, here is nine. with the cold air in place, the next question, will it snow this week? stay tuned for the answer to that one. now, it's cold at the moment because we've got this northern latitude blocking this area of high pressure in the arctic is sending cold air our way. and this blocking pattern is with us all week. so it's going to stay cold all week as well. low pressure that's been bringing rain over recent hours through monday will slowly pull away to the near continent. but still some wet weather to come across eastern england with the rain reluctant
2:56 am
to clear here. some showers across north east england and eastern scotland. the best of any sunshine will be in the north west of the uk. but wherever you are, it's going to feel cold through the afternoon. temperatures typically around six or seven degrees celsius. so only really as we go through monday night, that area of low pressure pulls out of the way. skies clear. we'll start to get the winds falling a bit lighter. and we're looking at quite a widespread frost developing once again in the countryside, that takes us into tuesday. and it's a completely different day. loads more in the way of sunshine after that frosty start. but there'll be some showers across northern and eastern areas. and with colder air working in here, we'll probably start to see some of those snow showers working into parts of shetland, maybe even down to sea level across the mainland of scotland. meanwhile, the snow probably still at this stage confined to some modest hills. similar kind of weather picture really through wednesday it's a mostly dry day with sunshine after a cold and frosty start. but again, we've got those showers, some of which will fall wintry across the northeast of the uk. and it's another cold one. temperatures still well below
2:57 am
average for the time of year. now it's thursday. that looks like to be a particularly tricky day with a balance of cold rain or snow. a couple of scenarios, low pressure coming up from the south. we could see some rain turning to snow across the hills of southern england. some wintry showers across the north east of the uk as well. but this area of low pressure may end up being a bit further northwards, a bit more intense. that could bring more areas. snow even into parts of wales and the midlands still got those wintry showers across the northeast. so there's still quite a bit of uncertainty. but thursday has potential. what i do know, though, is it's going to stay cold for a long time yet.

live from washington, this is bbc news. 17 hostages released on sunday return to israel — as hopes build for an extension to the four day truce. i'm going to remain personally engaged to ensure that this is fully implemented and work to extend the deal as well. among the 1a israeli hostages released — nine children, including a four—year—old girl with dual us—israeli nationality. and 39 palestinian detainees have been released by israel — returning to celebrations in the west bank.
3:00 am
hello. in gaza, it's now the fourth, and potentially final, day of the temporary ceasefire. but there are strong signals that the deal could be extended, with several parties — including hamas — signalling they could be open to a longer pause. israel's prime minister benajamin netanyahu said, in a phone call with us presidentjoe biden, that he would welcome a continuation of the truce, if it meant the release of ten more hostages each day. here's president biden after that call. here's president biden, after that call. more is needed, but this deal is delivering life—saving results — critically needed aid going in and hostages coming out — but there is still a structure to ensure that it can be extended, to keep building on these results. that's my goal, that's our goal, to keep this pause going beyond tomorrow, so that we continue to see more hostages come out and surge more humanitarian relief
