and the referee to be released, and are pushing for greater transparency. two investigations are ongoing into their comments. greg mitchell from the forest supporters group summed up their frustration. var has not been beneficial to the matchday experience, but i am realistic to know that it is here to stay, it is good for the tv entertainment value, and they've spent so much time and money on it, we know it is here. it does need to change dramatically, though. when a referee is showing on tv across the world, "this is what i think," and he is proven wrong within seconds on a replay, why wasn't the decision changed? that is where var is so wrong, because it was there for all to see. the barcelona presidentjoan laporta

says he's not ruling out legal action or replaying el clasico, if it's discovered that lamine yamal�*s shot crossed the line in their 3—2 defeat to real madrid on sunday. with no goal—line technology available in la liga, var determined that real goalkeeper andriy lunin had prevented yamal�*s shot from crossing the line at 1—1. the visitors insist the ball had crossed the line, but the goal wasn't given and real went on to win the match. arsenal manager mikel arteta says they will "give it a real go", as they attempt to win the premier league title for the first time in 20 years. they can go three points clear at the top of the table if they beat chelsea later. with five to play, arsenal are level on points with liverpool, but manchester city are lurking just one behind, with a game in hand. the two managers — mikel arteta and mauricio pochettino — first met more than 20 years ago, as team—mates at p56. arteta received a warm welcome from the argentine all those years ago.

for me, he was like a father. he really took me under his arm, gave me incredible advice, he really protected me, he inspired me, and i learned so much in those two years with him together. and he is always someone that i look to, because as i said, he was really impactful for me, and he was one that, as a role model, i couldn't pick anybody better than him. jude bellingham's fantastic season continues. he won the world breakthrough of the year award at the laureus awards, to round off a brilliant week in which his side real madrid knocked manchester city out of the champions league, and then beat arch rivals barcelona in la liga. the england international is hoping for more silverware later in the year. it has been a mad few days, - and yeah, i'm really proud to win i this award, like i said, and you . know, hopefully keep making more memories with real madrid and england in the future . and yeah, hopefully i'll be back. we are still in with a chance, i
11:48 am
two with madrid and obviously the euros with england, i so i think success would be all three, but yeah, | it takes a lot of work and a lot of sacrifice - and hopefully it can happen. in the nba, jamal murray's buzzer—beater saw defending champions denver nuggets beat the la lakers 101—99, to take a 2—0 lead in their play—off first—round series. anthony davis�* 2a first—half points helped the lakers take a 59—44 lead. they then stretched that to a 20—point lead, early in the third period. but the lakers missed eight straight shots in the third quarter, and lebronjames missed a three—pointer with 16 seconds left, allowing murray to take advantage and secure the win. we know they are a great sense of power team. we know they are going to get into a weather at some point, especially on their home floor, you just have to withstand them and i think we did. obviously we gave up a 20 point lead in that unfortunate but 20 point lead in this league is
11:49 am
not safe, especially this is the defending champion, we have got to do better with that. in the eastern conference, the new york knicks lead the philadelphia 76ers 2—0, in their best—of—seven series after coming from behind to win 104—101. four—time world snooker champion mark selby was knocked out in the first round of this year's tournament and says he needs help with his mental health, if he's going to continue. joe o'connor won by 10 frames to six at the crucible. earlier this month, selby hinted at retirement, saying it was "maybe time to do something else" after he was beaten in the first round of the tour championship. selby got to the world final last year, but this was the first time he'd lost in the opening round since 2018. and you can follow all the action from the world snooker on the bbc sport website and app. china's world number four ding junhui has just gone 3—2 up against jack lisowski of england. and that's all the sport for now.

now, to a new kind of organ donation. it's called a paired or pooled donation and it involves finding some other people who are in the same predicament, and swapping. our health correspondent michelle roberts has more. it's like a microphone. a microphone? hello, hello, hello. destiny rae is five. she loves play—doh, singing and her mum, maria. but she doesn't like broccoli or dialysis. but maybe when you get your kidney, you might like broccoli. what do you think? she's been having dialysis three times a week since she was ten months old because her kidneys don't work. added together, that's more than six whole months of her young life rigged up to the machine. i think all she's ever known is dialysis. i
11:51 am
i she definitely doesn't have anyl memory of not being on dialysis. and this has kind of been- like her second family for a long time, which in many ways is a beautiful thing. - but, also, what's best- for her is to be out in school. there we go. play therapy helps pass the time while waiting for a new kidney. that's your favorite one, isn't it? the odds of finding a donor are stacked against destiny. there's a national shortage of organs. my turn! particularly from black and ethnic minority people. no suitable deceased donor has been found, but a special organ swap scheme with living donors — the uk living kidney sharing scheme — might help. the sharing scheme widens the search, using people who are willing to give one of their healthy kidneys to a stranger. they promise to donate if, in return, theirfriend or loved one gets a kidney from someone else. the swaps only go ahead if everyone matches up, so that no patient misses out. so, for example, you might have a pair here who aren't a good
11:52 am
match, so you can't do a transplant. but bring in another pair and you can see how you can match the kidneys up. good, we've got one. destiny's wait for a kidney has been long and uncertain. nope. but social media has provided a lifeline. they met their living donor, liffy, in an online discussion group talking about the difficulty of finding a donor. they didn't go together? although liffy is not a tissue match for destiny, she hopes the scheme can pair them with someone who is. i think it's quite hard for people to get their head around why i would donate my kidney to someone i'm not related to, but also someone that i've met online. destiny was actually the same age as my own daughter and i couldn't imagine being in the same position as maria and destiny and someone not wanting to help this one. a healthy donor like liffy can lead a normal life on one remaining kidney, although it's a massive decision to make.
11:53 am
it wasn't until i saw her in the hospital and i wasjust like, wow, she's serious. like, she really wants to get tested, you know? and from then on, we've just been best of friends. my daughter loves her, so she calls her auntie liffy. she loves her. they've got an amazing, like, bond. it's so beautiful to see. and, yeah, she's literally sent from heaven. she's my guardian angel. lego! every three months, destiny and liffy wait to hear if a match can be found. they're hoping today it's third—time lucky. maria? yes? can i tell you something? tell me. earlier today, i got a phone call. they've found a match for us. so we're paired up. do you want a hug?
11:54 am
medical teams will now start planning the operations. we've done it. michelle roberts, bbc news. a student who has cerebral palsy and relies on a communication device to speak has found a new voice after a two—year search. daniel challis was fed up with sounding like a robot and decided to search for someone from his local area — walsall — to record a spoken vocabulary for him. he's been talking with our midlands correspondent navtej johal. midlands accent: when i chose my i voice, i knew what voice i liked. i dan will happily admit that he loves the sound of his own voice. but you can't blame him, especially as it's not technically his own voice. dan was diagnosed with cerebral palsy when he was a toddler, and has never been able to speak in his own voice. since he was nine years old, he's used a tablet—like device
11:55 am
to communicate, which he controls with his eyes, and sounds like this. generic robotic voice: this is my old voice. it's a robot voice. but two years ago, he set out on a mission to replace the robotic drawl and find someone with a walsall accent like his family, whose voice he could use as his own. midlands accent: i wanted my voice, i because i want to talk to my friends l in my family's accent. a social media and bbc local radio appeal led him to eli from walsall. that's good. "the she—wolf had developed a ferocious temper..." - with the help of dan's specialist college, where he also lives, eli recorded 3,500 words from new york, where he's studying drama. i think it sounds more like us now, doesn't he? and this was the moment his mum heard her son's new voice for the first time. emotional. when his dad heard him as well, he was like, "oh, he sounds like me now." "0h, he sounds like me now." you can hear him. i was going to say,
11:56 am
that's his voice there. that's him in the background, yeah. does he ever stop talking now? no, you wouldn't ever get him quiet now! i and dan had a special message for the person who gave him his voice. i feel happy, and i feel that it is going to improve my confidence. i love my new voice. thank you, eli. oh, that's so lovely. he laughs. oh, that's amazing. dan says the unusual search has meant he's now found his voice and his identity. navteonhal, bbc news. hello. today, again, it's going to be milder in the west compared to the east. and as we go through the next few days, you'll notice the temperature coming down everywhere — as represented by the blues on the chart — on wednesday, thursday and friday. but as we head on into the weekend, low pressure looks like it's going to move across our shores.
11:57 am
that looks like, too, it will introduce some milder conditions, but there's still a lot to play for with that one. today, we've got the dregs of yesterday's front pushing slowly south—eastwards, with its cloud and patchy light rain and drizzle. eastern areas still exposed to this brisk wind, taking the edge off the temperatures. it will feel quite cold on the east coast. a few showers — wales into the south—west — and the cloud in the east thick enough for that drizzle. it's the west that's going to see the lion's share of the sunshine today. and, as a result, this is where we'll have the highest temperatures. we could reach 16 degrees once again. degrees once again in glasgow. yesterday, it was 16.5 celsius here. as we head through the evening and overnight, still the brisk, keen wind coming in off the north sea, blowing in some cloud, one or two showers. we've got this lump of cloud across central parts of england, east wales, pushing down towards the south. but under clear skies, where we've got the blues, temperatures will be freezing or even below. so there will be locally a touch of frost, but it's going to be a cold night generally. tomorrow, still this keen wind,
11:58 am
still the cloud coming in from the north sea. but out towards the west, we're looking at brighter skies, some sunshine. you could catch a shower once again in south wales or indeed south—west england. temperatures, 14 in glasgow, so the temperatures coming down a little bit, 9 in norwich. and then as we head on into thursday, well, we've got low pressure out to the east, low pressure out towards the west, a front very close by, and it does mean we will see one or two showers. it's going to be a colder day as well. some of those showers on high ground in scotland could well prove to be wintry, but a fair bit of cloud around, and again, nowhere really immune to a shower. this is a weather front trying to come in from the west. temperatures, 8 in aberdeen to about 13 in london. as we go beyond that, into the end of the week and into the weekend, well, it looks very much like it's going to continue unsettled. there will be some rain at times, but the temperatures slowly starting to creep up.
