1:30 pm
be his last season on the tour, injuries have seriously hampered him for the last couple of years and he's ranked 275th in the world. today he's up against one of the tournament favourites in alexander zverev, who he doesn't have a great record against. but if he does lose, a planned farewell ceremony has been scrapped by organisers after nadal suggested there is a chance this may not be the end. today, in some way, i cannot guarantee that that will be the last one, but of course it is a big chance. that's nadal, but what of andy murray? he's also suggested that he will retire come the end of the season, which means he may well have played his final singles match at the french open. he was up
1:31 pm
against another veteran in stanislas wawrinka in the opening round, a former winner in paris and fellow three—time grand slam champion. at 39, wawrinka is two years older, but he took advantage of murray's lack of court time, winning in straight sets. they shared a nice moment at the net afterwards, having had a fair few battles across the years, and murray, who reached the french open final in 2016, as well as multiple semifinals and quarterfinals, was in reflective move afterwards. idid i did really well here over the years and i guess a lot of the results and stuff, i think the issue for me is when you compare it to watch rough on or novak djokovic achieved in the same time is obviously minuscule in comparison, that most players would sign up for the results i had here, played a
1:32 pm
final, four semis, the results i had here, played a final, foursemis, i made the results i had here, played a final, four semis, i made the quarters how many times, a couple of times as well, maybe. i lost in the semis, i lost to novak in five, stand in five and twice to rafa, and obviously no shame in that. in a different time, may be the result would have been a bit different, but i'm proud of the results i had here. i'm proud of the results i had here. i have great memories and it is not an easy surface for me, but i always showed up and put in some strong performances considering. yeah, it was a good run here over the years. with jack draper also out, attention now turns to cam norrie, dan evans, katie boulter and harriet dart, who are all still hoping to reach the second round. one man who is into round two is the australian open champion
1:33 pm
jannik sinner. he's been struggling with a hip injury of late. he came into the tournament with huge doubts over his fitness, but the world number two has eased past america's chris eubanks in straight sets. he will play the home favourite richard gasquet next. tunisia's ons jabeur, twice a beaten wimbledon finalist, hoping to win herfirst grand slam, is into the second round after a comfortable straight sets win over american wildcard sachia vickery in under 90 minutes. england captain leah williamson has signed a new contract with women's super league side arsenal. the defender has spent her entire senior career with the london club, who haven't revealed how long the deal is for. williamson has made 232 appearances since 2014 and captained the lionessess to victory at euro 2022. charles leclerc says his ultimate dream came true after winning his home grand prix in monaco.
1:34 pm
his father, who died from cancer before watching him compete in f1, was at the front of his mind during the race, he says. leclerc had started on pole twice before and failed to win, but this was third time lucky. he had to wait a little longer to secure victory after a huge crash on the opening lap between sergio perez and kevin magnussen. both drivers walked away unscathed. when it finally resumed, leclerc pulled away from his rivals to take the chequered flag and close the gap on max verstappen in the driver's championship to 31 points. i did not expect the race to be so difficult to manage emotionally and mentally—wise. i had so many thoughts of the people i have mentioned already in the last ten laps, and that was very difficult to manage because, even though i knew the pace was extremely good, you have to stay on it on a track like this,
1:35 pm
and it was very, very difficult. that's all the sport for now. let's return now to the general election campaign — the labour leader sir keir starmer has focused on his upbringing and security in his first major speech ahead of polling day on the 4th ofjuly. he's told undecided voters in west sussex that his party will deliver stability if it wins power. he says labour would carry out a ioo—day national security review, looking at all the threats facing britain and he said voters faced a choice about the future of the country. i have changed this labour party, dragged it back to surface and i will do exactly the same for westminster. that is the choice at this selection, service or self
1:36 pm
interest. stability or chaos. i labour party that has changed oratory party that has run away from the mainstream. the choice is yours. you can stop the chaos, turn the page, join with us and together we can rebuild our country. thank you so much. applause. our political correspondent iain watson was watching the speech and sent us his analysis of what the labour leader said. sir keir starmer here because for the first time labour took the local council here for the first time in history. equally, he knew even though there is a big lead, there are a lot of votes to be won in the next few weeks and he wanted to try to reassure wavering voters it was not safe to post for his party, so we concentrated on issues that
1:37 pm
perhaps conservative voters would have been concerned of in the past. security, for example. talking about nato. anti—immigration, new border force being set up within a hundred days of if they'd win the next election. and finances, he said there would be no increase in income tax. he also recognised he had to reintroduce himself to the public. perhaps people are only now thinking about the choice between the party leaders. we talked about growing up in surrey, as english as it gets, he said, his hometown. isuppose in surrey, as english as it gets, he said, his hometown. i suppose the message was if you grew up in an area like that, beneath the affiliates there were a lot of people struggling, then perhaps other people in similar areas could

not look to labour to stand up for them. he concluded his very long speech for a campaign, run 30 minutes, with the commitment that he would fight on behalf of people who perhaps were just looking at sir keir starmer for the first time and wondering whether he could be a future prime minister, trusted on policy and as a person. rishi sunak has dismissed sir keir�*s speech as "waffle", saying "our country needs bold action, not waffle". with me isjonathan ashworth — the labour mp for leicester south and the shadow paymaster general. i will give you the chance to respond to rishi sunak. that i will give you the chance to respond to rishi sunak. that is a bit rich from _ respond to rishi sunak. that is a bit rich from rishi _ respond to rishi sunak. that is a bit rich from rishi sunak - respond to rishi sunak. that is a bit rich from rishi sunak you - respond to rishi sunak. that is a l bit rich from rishi sunak you spent the last 24—hour to convince the country of an unfunded half baked gimmick of a suggestion for compulsory military service for 18—year—olds, half baked proposal

which is already unravelling as tory ministers are left exposed, unable to answer the most basic questions about this plan. we have had a senior x military chief then it won't work because the money is not there. the small amount of money invested means cutting investment in stoke, mansfield, darlington, places like that. the reality is trickier stormont today has laid out his plans to end 14 years of tory chaos. we will start rebuilding our nhs with more appointments, more teachers in our schools, to crackdown on and anti—social behaviour with more police and community support officers and to cut energy bills for good.- cut energy bills for good. there wasn't much — cut energy bills for good. there wasn't much new— cut energy bills for good. there wasn't much new in _ cut energy bills for good. there wasn't much new in that - cut energy bills for good. there l wasn't much new in that speech. cut energy bills for good. there - wasn't much new in that speech. this is an election — wasn't much new in that speech. ti 3 is an election campaign where wasn't much new in that speech. ti 1 is an election campaign where sir keir starmer is talking about how this country can be so much better and he is so angry that after 14

years of decline country working class people —— working people are so much worse off. we are not going to put out half gimmick gimmicks like rishi sunak has done. it is working families to pay for this tory chaos, as we saw when the tories crashed the economy and said people's mortgages through the roof. if you were aiming to speech at undecided voters and said change, is that nothing more than you just don't like the other lot, suitable for us? if don't like the other lot, suitable for us? , ., , for us? if there is a young couple watchin: for us? if there is a young couple watching me _ for us? if there is a young couple watching me now— for us? if there is a young couple watching me now he'll— for us? if there is a young couple watching me now he'll been - for us? if there is a young couple l watching me now he'll been priced out of the housing market, we are going to build more homes. if there are people watching who are waiting for a hip replacement, we will deliver 40,000 more appointments in the nhs so that person can get treatment on time. this is about the
