hello from the bbc sport centre. i'm hugh ferris. bayer leverkusen will attempt to continue what's so far been a perfect season later on thursday. having claimed the german bundesliga title now they take on roma in the first leg of their europa league semi final. they still haven't lost a match this campaign. but roma have reached a european final in each of their last two seasons. while having beat many people's favourites to win the europa league liverpool atalanta play marseille. this is an incredibly tough test. stop they needed a last—gasp leveller is to say that match. they are not that far away from 50 games unbeaten. the roper conference

league, they got to the final. they are now in the final stages. they are now in the final stages. they are playing a lot of good attacking football is. this is one of their toughest test of the season. the success of the three german teams still left in european competition means they've guaranteed a fifth spot in next season's champions legaue. theyjoin itlay in gaining an extra space... and that's at england's expense. (full frame gfx)so whatever aston villa achieve in the europa conference league won't now affect that... but they might not mind as the only english team left in europe are currently fourth in the premier league anyway. their semi final is against olympiakos with the first leg at villa park... fiorentina play club bruges in the other tie...

our league is the toughest league. we have to prepare well for every match in order to be successful. to share with europe is always difficult. the only team who could stop aston villa playing in the champions league next season is spurs although if they win their two games in hand they'll still be a point behind fourth place. the first of those is tonight at chelsea — the team that emphatically ended tottenham's long unbeaten start to the season last november. for us, it's a constant evolution of overcoming different challenges. we are in pretty good shape from a squad point of view. we have had a good run of games. they have been some disruptions in many areas. the boston celtics cruised past the miami heat

to book their place in the nba's eastern conference semi—finals by four games to one. after wednesday's 118—81; victory the celtics will face either the cleveland cavaliers or the orlando magic next. meanwhile, in the west, luka doncic played a starring role — again — as the dallas mavericks thrashed the la clippers 123 to 93 in game five. the slovenian star scored 35 points in the win, 20 of which came in the second half as the mavericks pulled clear of the clippers. doncic added ten assists and seven rebounds as dallas took a 3—2 lead in the best of seven series. the semi—finals of snooker�*s world championship are underway with three qualifiers in the last four for the first time since 1977. stuart bingham is the only former winner left. he'll playjakjones starting later on wednesday. meanwhile, this is the first semi final between kyren wilson — the only player who didn't have to qualify — and dave gilbert, who did. but then beat the defending champion luca brecel in the first round. these are live pictures from

sheffield. it is three frames all. they will be playing eight over the course of this first session. but 33 overall. 17 needed for a place in the final. it would be karen wilson or dave gilbert. you can follow the snooker across the bbc. a coach has been stopped from leaving peckham to take migrants to a detention centre. as victor simon jones. what happened here? this a detention centre. as victor simon jones. what happened here? this is a re jones. what happened here? this is a pretty fast-moving — jones. what happened here? this is a pretty fast-moving situation. - jones. what happened here? this is a pretty fast-moving situation. this - pretty fast—moving situation. this is the coach turned up to take a group of migrants from here in south—east london to the bb stockholm barge. it was surrounded
