:00:28. > :00:30.When you have the dozens if not hundreds of suspects,

:00:31. > :00:32.there is very little that the security services

:00:33. > :00:36.can do to monitor all of them, all of the time.

:00:37. > :00:38.So how did Ronald Fiddler from Manchester end up

:00:39. > :00:45.A straight couple lose their battle for a civil partnership

:01:22. > :01:43.Manchester City have got another one and they have come from behind

:01:44. > :01:46.A British fighter who so-called Islamic State claim died

:01:47. > :01:48.in a suicide bombing in Iraq was a former detainee

:01:49. > :01:55.Fifty year old Ronald Fiddler was released from there in 2004

:01:56. > :01:58.and was reportedly given compensation of up to a million

:01:59. > :02:03.IS claim that he detonated a car bomb in the last few days

:02:04. > :02:06.at an Iraqi Army base South West of Mosul.

:02:07. > :02:08.There's been fierce fighting there involving Iraqi troops

:02:09. > :02:19.Our Security Correspondent, Frank Gardner, reports.

:02:20. > :02:27.The face of a suicide bomber. A British man, used by so-called

:02:28. > :02:34.Islamic State to blow himself up in Iraq. Hello? Is that the stock

:02:35. > :02:39.market? He was born Ronald Fiddler from Manchester, changing his name

:02:40. > :02:43.later. This is him soon after his release, from 28 years in US

:02:44. > :02:49.detention in Guantanamo Bay. You know I mean business. This is where

:02:50. > :02:54.he chose to end his life. Mosul in northern Iraq. Here at the BBC has

:02:55. > :03:00.been covering the intense fighting by Iraqi forces to dislodge IS from

:03:01. > :03:03.the second city. Outgunned and outmanned, the jihadist have had to

:03:04. > :03:09.resort to booby-traps and suicide bombers to try and slow down the

:03:10. > :03:15.Iraqi advance. His journey began after the 9/11 attacks and in 2001

:03:16. > :03:18.he travelled to Pakistan. He was arrested the same year and

:03:19. > :03:24.eventually taken to the US base in Kandahar. In 2002 he was transferred

:03:25. > :03:28.to Guantanamo Bay. Two years later he was repatriated to Britain and

:03:29. > :03:33.released, reportedly winning compensation from the government.

:03:34. > :03:39.Then in April 2014, he entered Syria from Turkey to join IS as a fighter.

:03:40. > :03:44.I am mystified as to how this person travelled out to Syria and I can

:03:45. > :03:47.only assume under our false passport, as people who have served

:03:48. > :03:51.time in Guantanamo Bay would have been watched carefully by the

:03:52. > :03:56.British and American intelligence agencies. He was one of hundreds of

:03:57. > :04:00.men taken from Afghanistan to be imprisoned in Guantanamo Bay without

:04:01. > :04:04.trial. Britain lobbied for his release and he later spoke about the

:04:05. > :04:09.abuses he suffered there. Did he fool the British Government? When

:04:10. > :04:14.you have the dozens if not hundreds of suspects, there is very little

:04:15. > :04:20.that the security services can do to monitor all of them, all of the

:04:21. > :04:23.time. Speaking to Panorama after his release from Guantanamo Bay, his

:04:24. > :04:29.family spoke of the transformation they saw in him. He may have changed

:04:30. > :04:35.a little bit when he converted to be a Muslim, he may have changed in

:04:36. > :04:40.that he did not do all the bad things, like going to clubs, going

:04:41. > :04:45.out and meeting girls, smoking, drinking... He turned into a placid

:04:46. > :04:49.person. In the end, it seems he chose to die for a group that has

:04:50. > :04:53.committed unspeakable acts on innocent people.

:04:54. > :05:03.The claim that Ronald Fiddler has blown himself up came from so-called

:05:04. > :05:08.Islamic State and it has to be treated with caution. Can any

:05:09. > :05:12.lessons be learned? The pipeline of British and European jihadist who

:05:13. > :05:17.were two or three years ago flooding across the Turkish border into

:05:18. > :05:22.territory controlled by IS at that has dried up and it is hard for them

:05:23. > :05:26.to cross the border. The lessons are, Guantanamo Bay, incredibly bad

:05:27. > :05:31.in terms of the ideological fight against extremism. It makes it very

:05:32. > :05:33.difficult for America, Britain and other countries, whose nationals

:05:34. > :05:40.side there are two men taking any kind of moral high ground, because

:05:41. > :05:43.they were imprisoned without trial. This is very active, we talk about

:05:44. > :05:47.reopening it. There is the question of what you do about the 400

:05:48. > :05:51.estimated British jihadist who is still out there. If they do not die

:05:52. > :05:55.on the battlefields are they going to come back. How do you decide who

:05:56. > :05:58.is safe, do you believe the people who say they have turned their back

:05:59. > :06:02.on all of that, most people will want to do exactly that, some may

:06:03. > :06:05.have other ideas. That is the challenge for the government now.

:06:06. > :06:08.Three judges at the Court of Appeal have made it clear the current

:06:09. > :06:11.system in which only gay couples can have a civil partnership -

:06:12. > :06:13.and not straight couples - cannot continue indefinitely.

:06:14. > :06:15.While they rejected a challenge by a heterosexual couple from London

:06:16. > :06:18.who want a civil partnership , they acknowledged the couple

:06:19. > :06:19.had a potential case for discrimination -

:06:20. > :06:21.increasing pressure on the government to consider

:06:22. > :06:27.Here's our Our Home Editor Mark Easton.

:06:28. > :06:29.In 2005, Elton John and David Furnish became one

:06:30. > :06:34.of the first gay couples to form a civil partnership,

:06:35. > :06:40.the Government's answer to growing demands that homosexual partners

:06:41. > :06:42.enjoy equal rights to married heterosexual couples.

:06:43. > :06:45.In 2014, Elton and David had another wedding,

:06:46. > :06:48.converting their civil partnership to a same-sex marriage as the law

:06:49. > :06:52.extended marriage rights to homosexuals.

:06:53. > :06:58.Thousands of gay and lesbian weddings followed.

:06:59. > :07:01.But evolving rights for same-sex couples

:07:02. > :07:03.got some heterosexual partners like Rebecca Steinfield and Charles

:07:04. > :07:08.Keidan asking the courts why they couldn't have the same choice.

:07:09. > :07:11.They didn't fancy the baggage of getting

:07:12. > :07:16.married, but wanted the legal protection of a civil partnership.

:07:17. > :07:18.Today, at the High Court, they lost their case,

:07:19. > :07:20.but claimed the detail of the judgment meant they'd won the

:07:21. > :07:25.All three of the judges agreed that we're being treated

:07:26. > :07:27.differently because of our sexual orientation and that this impacts

:07:28. > :07:31.All three rejected the argument that we

:07:32. > :07:35.All three emphasised that the Government

:07:36. > :07:40.cannot maintain the status quo for much longer.

:07:41. > :07:43.The judges said they thought Government should have more

:07:44. > :07:47.We are handing down our judgments today...

:07:48. > :07:50.Ministers have been wrestling about what to do

:07:51. > :07:52.about civil parer partnership ever since same-sex marriage became legal

:07:53. > :07:58.It is an important matter of social policy.

:07:59. > :08:01.Ministers ordered a review, which under helpfully

:08:02. > :08:05.simply told them the public was deeply divided on the issue, keeping

:08:06. > :08:08.them as they are, extending them to all or abolishing them completely

:08:09. > :08:11.all options on civil partnerships were opposed so the Government

:08:12. > :08:16.Some dismissed civil partnerships as a

:08:17. > :08:22.political stopgap, a second rate marriage.

:08:23. > :08:25.They confer the same rights as marriage, the right to be

:08:26. > :08:31.next of kin, access to your partner's estate and their pension

:08:32. > :08:33.but, unlike marriage, adultery is not grounds for

:08:34. > :08:36.Thousands of same-sex couples have converted

:08:37. > :08:42.full marriage and there's been a big drop

:08:43. > :08:46.Government has always said it wanted to see what effect same-sex marriage

:08:47. > :08:49.Some now argue they've had long enough.

:08:50. > :08:52.The Government has to wake up and smell the coffee.

:08:53. > :08:54.There is a growing feeling this needs to

:08:55. > :08:57.There's a growing appreciation, backed up by the court

:08:58. > :09:01.today, that this is inequality that cannot go on.

:09:02. > :09:03.The problem for ministers is thatle having invented

:09:04. > :09:05.civil partnerships they cannot uninvent them and whatever they do

:09:06. > :09:16.Merseyside Police are this evening hunting for a convicted murderer

:09:17. > :09:19.who was helped by two armed men to escape during a hospital

:09:20. > :09:22.28-year-old Shaun Walmsley fled from Aintree University Hospital

:09:23. > :09:25.as he was getting into a car with prison officers.

:09:26. > :09:27.Our correspondent, Judith Moritz, is at the hospital.

:09:28. > :09:36.Judith, what more can you tell us about what happened?

:09:37. > :09:42.Shaun Walmsley was brought here for a hospital appointment this

:09:43. > :09:46.afternoon and he was escorted from Liverpool prison around three miles

:09:47. > :09:50.away by two prison officers who were about to take him back to jail when

:09:51. > :09:54.they were ambushed as they were getting into a car. They were

:09:55. > :09:58.stopped by two men who had their faces covered and they were

:09:59. > :10:02.brandishing, we understand, a gun and a knife and they threaten the

:10:03. > :10:07.prison guards and force them to let Shaun Walmsley go and then they

:10:08. > :10:31.escaped with the prisoner in a gold coloured Volvo.

:10:32. > :10:35.The prison officers were not injured and they were able to raise the

:10:36. > :10:37.alarm quickly and Merseyside Police say they are involved in an

:10:38. > :10:39.extensive search, they are combing CCTV and they say they are working

:10:40. > :10:41.with the Ministry of Justice and other police forces nationwide to

:10:42. > :10:44.track down Shaun Walmsley. They described him as dangerous. He was

:10:45. > :10:46.sentenced to life imprisonment in 2015 for murder and Merseyside

:10:47. > :10:49.Police say he is still potentially in the company of the two men who

:10:50. > :10:51.escaped with them and they may be armed and they have told members of

:10:52. > :10:54.the public who have information and who may have seen the group, not to

:10:55. > :10:55.approach them but instead to call the police.

:10:56. > :10:56.More than three thousand people are trafficked

:10:57. > :10:59.into the UK every year, according to official statistics -

:11:00. > :11:03.They come from all over the world, but by far the biggest

:11:04. > :11:06.In 2015, this relatively small country accounted for over

:11:07. > :11:08.600 potential victims - about a fifth of the total.

:11:09. > :11:11.Of those, the vast majority were female, and most of them

:11:12. > :11:15.The authorities in Albania have been criticised for failing to crack down

:11:16. > :11:17.on the problem with just 18 convictions last year.

:11:18. > :11:19.My colleague Reeta Chakrabarti has been speaking to some

:11:20. > :11:28.Blessed with natural beauty, but the centre of a dark trade.

:11:29. > :11:31.Albania has over two decades built up a brutal industry, with human

:11:32. > :11:38.TRANSLATION: I hate them and I want them to get

:11:39. > :11:45.Saya, now still a teenager, was just 14 when she was sold

:11:46. > :11:49.into a trafficking ring by a man she thought was her boyfriend.

:11:50. > :11:53.She was forced to sleep with several men a day and tells of a bewildering

:11:54. > :11:59.and terrifying world of abuse in which she could trust no one.

:12:00. > :12:02.TRANSLATION: There were other girls there as well, but I did not talk

:12:03. > :12:05.to them because you could not tell who was connected to whom.

:12:06. > :12:10.They would beat us up and not let us go out.

:12:11. > :12:13.To be controlled by someone, to be used as I was,

:12:14. > :12:24.She lives here in a refuge for trafficked women

:12:25. > :12:29.But these are schoolgirls here, and some already have

:12:30. > :12:40.Saya helped put some of hers behind bars.

:12:41. > :12:41.Several convicted traffickers are held here in this

:12:42. > :12:46.Last year 18 people were sentenced, some

:12:47. > :12:53.The Albanian authorities let us talk to one of them.

:12:54. > :12:56.This man was sentenced to 15 years for trafficking children to Greece

:12:57. > :13:00.and forcing them to work as prostitutes or beggars.

:13:01. > :13:03.What made him, a married man with his own children,

:13:04. > :13:09.TRANSLATION: It was a time where everyone was doing

:13:10. > :13:15.You used a child in order to earn some money, isn't

:13:16. > :13:25.What if that were my child and someone did that to them?

:13:26. > :13:27.He faced justice but Albania has been criticised for a lack

:13:28. > :13:32.of prosecutions and there are concerns over police collusion.

:13:33. > :13:34.Some senior figures question whether trafficking is a real

:13:35. > :13:37.problem but the official line is that there are systems

:13:38. > :13:48.We had a system in place, and it was not an increasing trend,

:13:49. > :13:52.it is constant but it has to be tackled properly and to make always

:13:53. > :14:02.It is away from the modern capital city that all too often

:14:03. > :14:08.Albania remains a poor country and in many areas a woman's role

:14:09. > :14:14.Young women in small-town Albania can be easy prey for grooomer

:14:15. > :14:19.who seduce them with promises of a better life.

:14:20. > :14:22.That better life is invariably outside Albania but Anna

:14:23. > :14:29.TRANSLATION: He said he was looking for a girl

:14:30. > :14:35.She is now in a safe house in the UK, duped into leaving home

:14:36. > :14:37.and then sold into prostitution, she weeps throughout our

:14:38. > :14:43.interview but insists she wants to tell her story.

:14:44. > :14:45.TRANSLATION: I was somewhere underground with no sense

:14:46. > :15:12.Anna is now supported in this safe house run by the Salvation Army.

:15:13. > :15:15.She has a baby which gives her a reason to carry on.

:15:16. > :15:18.Her story should trigger alarm in authorities

:15:19. > :15:22.A broken life caused by a brutal crime.

:15:23. > :15:32.Hospital services across nearly two-thirds of England

:15:33. > :15:36.BBC analysis of plans to transform the health service and save costs

:15:37. > :15:39.in 44 areas has found that 28 of them affect hospital care,

:15:40. > :15:41.to centralising services on fewer sites.

:15:42. > :15:44.NHS England argues that the plans will allow them to put

:15:45. > :15:46.more resources into care in the community.

:15:47. > :15:58.NHS budgets in England are rising, but patient demand

:15:59. > :16:04.Now, each local area has been told to come up

:16:05. > :16:12.At this Nottingham Trust, seen here recently,

:16:13. > :16:15.they want to shift resources out of hospitals and into the community.

:16:16. > :16:18.If somebody is in a hospital bed, that costs a lot of money per day.

:16:19. > :16:21.If that could be better spent, by giving people the care

:16:22. > :16:24.they need in the community, then we can reinvest that money

:16:25. > :16:32.But the plan involves cutting 200 hospital beds at two sites and local

:16:33. > :16:36.campaigners are concerned that patient care will suffer.

:16:37. > :16:38.If we take out 200 beds, have we got the real capacity

:16:39. > :16:40.and professionalism to deal with those patients

:16:41. > :16:52.We've seen massive cuts in social care and we need to be assured

:16:53. > :16:54.that we can have the full professional capacity

:16:55. > :16:58.The NHS in England is under extreme pressure simply trying to deal

:16:59. > :17:00.with the daily needs of patients, budgets are overstretched,

:17:01. > :17:03.so trying to carry out an ambitious transformation programme,

:17:04. > :17:04.which itself requires more investment, is going

:17:05. > :17:10.Local health and social care leaders in England have drawn up

:17:11. > :17:13.what are known as sustainability and transformation plans or STPs,

:17:14. > :17:20.BBC analysis has found that in 28, cuts to services are proposed,

:17:21. > :17:24.these include plans to downgrade A units, schemes to centralise

:17:25. > :17:27.maternity services and to close some hospitals with resources

:17:28. > :17:33.Hi, I'm Cathy, I've just come to see how you are.

:17:34. > :17:35.The plans also involve concentrating specialist care

:17:36. > :17:40.For one part of London, cancer experts are being brought

:17:41. > :17:42.together in one hospital, covering a population

:17:43. > :17:49.So having a big team means we've been able to think of new ways,

:17:50. > :17:52.new models of giving treatments to patients close to their home.

:17:53. > :17:57.So a good example is breast cancer chemothearpy,

:17:58. > :17:59.where we're now testing a model where patients can now

:18:00. > :18:06.self-administer their own drugs in their own home.

:18:07. > :18:08.Elsewhere in the UK, there are differing approaches.

:18:09. > :18:10.In Scotland, there are hubs where GPs work alongside social

:18:11. > :18:14.Welsh local authorities and NHS bodies are pooling budgets

:18:15. > :18:20.Whatever the proposed solutions, the big challenges for the NHS

:18:21. > :18:29.An Israeli soldier who killed a wounded Palestinian

:18:30. > :18:33.attacker has been sentenced to 18-months in prison.

:18:34. > :18:37.A military court convicted Elor Azaria of manslaughter

:18:38. > :18:39.for shooting dead Abdul Fatah al-Sharif as he lay

:18:40. > :18:49.badly hurt on the ground in the occupied West Bank.

:18:50. > :18:52.Some Israelis have called for the soldier to be pardoned,

:18:53. > :18:54.Palestinians have condemned the sentence as too lenient.

:18:55. > :18:57.The Prime Minister, Theresa May, has held talks with the French

:18:58. > :18:58.presidential candidate, Emmanuel Macron.

:18:59. > :19:00.The presidential frontrunner said he would like UK banks and workers

:19:01. > :19:05.This evening, Mr Macron held a rally to addressed some of the 200,000

:19:06. > :19:07.French voters in the capital who make London effectively

:19:08. > :19:13.The Government took in more money that it spent last month,

:19:14. > :19:15.according to the Office for National Statistics.

:19:16. > :19:18.The first month of the year traditionally sees a surplus

:19:19. > :19:20.because of the high level of receipts from income tax.

:19:21. > :19:23.But at ?9.4 billion, the surplus last month

:19:24. > :19:32.I'm joined by our economics editor, Kamal Ahmed.

:19:33. > :19:38.What can we draw from this? How many times have we sat on this set and

:19:39. > :19:41.said a barrowing black hole for the Government. Today, there seems to be

:19:42. > :19:46.borrowing green shoots. It's down to the performance of the economy, both

:19:47. > :19:51.before and after the referendum. It's been much stronger than people

:19:52. > :19:54.thought. When the economy is performing strongly, businesses make

:19:55. > :19:58.more profits. They start to pay more tax to the Government, people's

:19:59. > :20:02.earnings go up, slightly more quickly, they pay more tax to the

:20:03. > :20:05.government. That all feeds into these good borrowing numbers today.

:20:06. > :20:09.Of course, we are already starting to look towards the Budget, which is

:20:10. > :20:14.on 8th March next month. What does it mean for that? I think a couple

:20:15. > :20:18.of things. The Office for Budget Responsibility, the official

:20:19. > :20:23.economic watch dog dog for the country will upgrade growth again

:20:24. > :20:27.for 2017, good for borrowing. The Chancellor may have some money to

:20:28. > :20:31.play with. Could he help on that business rates controversy and help

:21:13. > :21:15.The power-sharing Government fell apart last month

:21:16. > :21:17.after the Deputy First Minister, Martin McGuinness, resigned,

:21:18. > :21:19.amid a complete break down of relations between the DUP

:21:20. > :21:23.Bitter words between the former Coalition partners have fuelled

:21:24. > :21:25.memories of divisive elections from Northern Ireland's past,

:21:29. > :21:31.and our own computer can't really help us is Northern Ireland.

:21:32. > :21:34.How elections are reported has changed over the decades.

:21:35. > :21:37.ARCHIVE: The real issue before the Ulster voters has not been

:21:38. > :21:46.But in Northern Ireland, it sometimes feels like the politics

:21:47. > :21:49.Throughout the years, votes have often been

:21:50. > :21:52.presented as a battle between Irish Nationalism

:21:53. > :21:55.and British Unionism and it's clear those old divisions run deep

:21:56. > :22:01.in the bad blood of this current campaign.

:22:02. > :22:04.Well, the allegation is that in Northern Ireland we don't have

:22:05. > :22:11.enough respect for Orangemen to walk down a road for 10 minutes.

:22:12. > :22:16.This heated election follows the collapse of Stormont's

:22:17. > :22:17.power-sharing Government and there is frustration among

:22:18. > :22:19.voters following allegations of incompetence and even corruption.

:22:20. > :22:22.It's time they all got their act together, learnt to work together

:22:23. > :22:25.and put power-sharing and all it stood for into practice.

:22:26. > :22:31.Ian Paisley's hardlined voice softened with age and he eventually

:22:32. > :22:34.lead his Democratic Unionist Party into Government with Sinn Fein,

:22:35. > :22:37.but 10 years later there's a new DUP leader and Irish Republicans

:22:38. > :22:39.are once again being portrayed as the enemy.

:22:40. > :22:42.If you feed a crocodile, they're going to keep coming back

:22:43. > :22:49.Arlene Foster was forced from the office of First Minister

:22:50. > :22:51.when Sinn Fein walked out of Government over a financial

:22:52. > :23:00.scandal surrounding a botched green energy initiative.

:23:01. > :23:03.She was the minister in charge when the scheme was designed

:23:04. > :23:05.inexplicable without cost controls, but she's not asking

:23:06. > :23:07.for forgiveness, she's fighting back with what are,

:23:08. > :23:15.I mean, if you've listened to what I've said, I've said I want

:23:16. > :23:18.devolution back up and running again so that we can have

:23:19. > :23:22.Do you regret any of your words over the last months?

:23:23. > :23:24.Well, maybe that's a question you should ask other parties

:23:25. > :23:26.because when you look at the brutality of what happened

:23:27. > :23:29.to me, in December, in January, when you look at the rhetoric

:23:30. > :23:32.that was directed towards me, I think we should all

:23:33. > :23:36.Stormont's opposition parties are back out on the road,

:23:37. > :23:41.campaigning again, including the nationalist SDLP.

:23:42. > :23:44.But they all know that there's no guarantee

:23:45. > :23:48.of a new power-sharing deal and that means there is a chance that

:23:49. > :23:49.Westminster might have to take over Government here,

:23:50. > :23:53.at least for a period, through what's known as direct rule.

:23:54. > :23:56.We could have exactly the same result or we could have

:23:57. > :24:06.The problem is, if we get the same result, we end up with direct rule

:24:07. > :24:09.and once we have direct rule, I'm not sure we'll get the Assembly

:24:10. > :24:12.With all the cosy appearances now gone at Stormont,

:24:13. > :24:14.the cross-community Alliance Party believes people have been

:24:15. > :24:17.given a taste of just how bitter things have become.

:24:18. > :24:19.Every time we have an election, we get this sectarian rhetoric,

:24:20. > :24:22.we get this divisive rhetoric, and it drags the community back

:24:23. > :24:25.to a place that I don't really think we need to be.

:24:26. > :24:29.It sometimes feels like all politics here is dominated by unionism

:24:30. > :24:32.or nationalism, but there are real issues worrying people too,

:24:33. > :24:35.including health, education, the economy and Brexit.

:24:36. > :24:40.I think the public, by in large, have moved on and I think us

:24:41. > :24:44.as politicians have a bit of catching up to do.

:24:45. > :24:52.I don't get depressed too often, but when I listened to one

:24:53. > :24:54.of the last debates and possibly the youngest DUP member's

:24:55. > :24:57.contribution, it did get me down because he stood up looking sympathy

:24:58. > :25:01.because it had been a very difficult 10 years for the DUP and it had been

:25:02. > :25:03.difficult because they don't want to share power.

:25:04. > :25:05.Martin McGuinness, who made the journey from IRA leader

:25:06. > :25:08.to Deputy First Minister, stepped down ahead of this election.

:25:09. > :25:11.The new face of the Sinn Fein leadership in Northern Ireland

:25:12. > :25:23.is Michelle O'Neill, and she doesn't have the

:25:24. > :25:25.paramilitary past of her predecessor, but she's been

:25:26. > :25:27.criticised for speaking at an IRA commemoration during this campaign.

:25:28. > :25:29.I attended the commemoration of four young fellas

:25:30. > :25:32.Four young fellas that found themselves in

:25:33. > :25:37.But they were also four young men who were involved in an IRA attack

:25:38. > :25:40.And we'll always have a different narrative on the past,

:25:41. > :25:43.but that's where we need to get to in society, where

:25:44. > :25:45.we actually understand that we have a different narrative.

:25:46. > :25:47.It's undeniable that the peace process has changed Northern Ireland

:25:48. > :25:50.for the better, but the pictures of political togetherness

:25:51. > :25:52.seem somewhat dated now and after this election,

:26:10. > :26:12.Tonight, at the Etihad, they firmly kept the target

:26:13. > :26:14.in their sights in what can only be described as a goal-extravaganza.

:26:15. > :26:18.They faced Monaco in the first leg and won 5-3.

:26:19. > :26:23.Our sports correspondent, Andy Swiss, reports.

:26:24. > :26:29.Manchester City, Monaco and a goal feast.

:26:30. > :26:31.City burst out of the blocks, Raheem Sterling with

:26:32. > :26:41.Radamel Falcao, once a United player, back to haunt City.

:26:42. > :26:44.And the hosts' frustration only increased as Mbappe thumped Monaco

:26:45. > :26:53.Well, that was nothing as next, City's keeper saved a penalty

:26:54. > :26:55.and Monaco's had a howler, Aguero somehow squirming it

:26:56. > :27:04.Well, this moment of magic from Falcao.

:27:05. > :27:10.Monaco 3-2 up, City once again in deep trouble.

:27:11. > :27:14.But thrillingly, remarkably, they turned it round.

:27:18. > :27:20.For the City fans, quite dazzling drama and a night

:27:21. > :27:30.Yes, one of the most extraordinary games you'll ever see. City do still

:27:31. > :27:34.have some work to do in the second leg, a 2-0 win would be enough for
