welcome along. thank you forjoining us. we start with a history—making win for carlos alcaraz — the new french open champion who, at the age of 21, is the youngest man to win grand slams on all three surfaces, after he beat alexander zverev in a gripping five—set final at roland—garros. alcaraz — bottom of your screen — who's previously won the us open and wimbledon, took the opening set, playing the better tennis. but zverev, hoping to win his first grand slam title, won the next two sets and looked on course for victory, only for the spanish third seed to find another gear.

he only lost three games in the final two sets, as he fulfilled what he called his "childhood dream" and emulated one of his heroes and compatriot, rafael nadal. winning a grand slam is always special. winning yourfirst grand slam is always super special. but in roland—garros, knowing that all the tennis, all the spanish players who have won this tournament, and to be able to put my name on that amazing list is something unbelievable. it's something that i dream about being in this position since i started playing tennis, since i was five, six years old. so it's a great, great feeling. he's a beast, he's an animal, for sure.

and the intensity he plays tennis at is different towards other people. you know, he can do so many different things, right? i think he changes tactics a lot and starts to play a lot higher and deeper in the fifth set. for me to not create as much power, especially with the shadows on the court, it was slower again. but he's a fantastic player, and physically, he's fantastic. so i have to look at myself and i have to look at the team that i have and see, you know, what i can do to become at the same level. so for zverev, the wait goes on, as he tries to reach the heights that australian open championjannik sinner and carlos alcaraz have reached this year. here's our tennis correspondent, russell fuller. well, zverev is very middle—aged compared to the other two. he's now 27, and hard for him mentally after losing another final over five sets to really think he can compete with the very best in the game. you will suspect he will have more

opportunities. alcaraz is onlyjust 21, a similar age to jannik sinner. and as you pointed out, the winner on three different surfaces. seven men have done that now. he's the youngest, by quite some margin. and the only one he hasn't won is on the hard courts of the australian open and there is absolutely no reason to think he would not be able to win that as well. so he is the player of the current crop of those names we have mentioned who is most likely to be the dominant player of his era. butjust to remind him that there is serious competition out there, in a few hours' time, it is jannik sinner of italy and not carlos alcaraz who takes over as the new men's world number one. meanwhile, the us open champion coco gauff and katerina siniakova won the women's doubles title with a straight—sets victory over sara errani and jasmine paolini, who lost the singles final on saturday. it's gauff�*s first doubles title at a grand slam. at the men's t20 cricket world cup, india survived a scare to beat pakistan in a thriller in new york, in front of over 3a,000 fans. put in to bat in slippery

conditions after morning rain, india struggled for runs — virat kohli out for just 4. rishabh pant�*s aggressive 42 was imperative, but their 119 all out didn't look like it would be good enough. and with muhammad rizwan setting about chasing down that total, pakistan were heading to victory. 80 for 3, with six overs left. but jasprit bumrah spearheaded a brilliant fightback, took 3 for 1h, as pakistan fell short. two defeats from two for them, whilst india are on the brink of qualifying for the super 8s. the biggest positive for us was the calmness. because when we were batting in the morning, there was a lot more help, and when we started bowling, the skies opened up and there wasn't a lot of lateral movement. so we had to be more consistent and more accurate.

and we as a unit are very calm and clear on what we wanted to do. so very happy that as a unit, we were able to contribute and created that pressure. and then we were able to get the win. i knew it was going to be a really tight game because it's not an easy wicket to bat on. and sometimes, those small attentions to detail can make a massive difference. but credit to the boys, they did a greatjob on the whole. to be honest, we had that game for 35 of the 40 overs. really, we had the game, we played good cricket and did everything we needed to. so it's a disappointing loss. elswhere, scotland comfortably beat oman by seven wickets for their second win of the tournament. a wonderful unbeaten 61 from brandon mcmullen guided the scots to their target of 151 in under 1a overs, as richie berrington�*s side delivered a statement win. that result means scotland currently top group b. after three games, they sit just above australia, whose convincing victory over england has put the current world cup holders' chances of progressing to the super 8s

in serious doubt. our cricket correspondent henry moeran was at that game in bridgetown and says england are making too many bad decisions. well, it's very easy to overreact to such things and perhaps if we hadn't seen what happened in the 50—over world cup last year, it would be put down to one bad day at the office yesterday. but england are getting a little bit of a habit now of making bold calls. the decisions of the captain and the coach — jos buttler and matthew mott — that aren't working. yesterday, they won the toss and elected to bowl first. yes, and both captains said they would do the same thing. it didn't pay off. they bowled willjacks in the second over.

australia were flying. go back to the 50—over world cup, their decision to bowl in the mumbai heat against south africa proved to be a really disappointing and incorrect decision for england. and it builds up a bit of a pattern where big calls are being made and england get them wrong, and it costs them cricket matches. quite simply, against namibia and oman, they have to win big. they have to boost the net run rate and find a way of clawing their way back into having some degree of control in this group. of course, they will build a little confidence, if nothing else. they would expect to beat namibia and oman handsomely. the other factor is although it is beautiful here today in the caribbean, there is rain around. if england were to lose another game to the weather, well, that does cause real problems. normal service has resumed for the formula one championship leader max vertsappen, after he won a rain—affected canadian grand prix. the three—time world champion could only manage sixth at the monaco grand prix a fortnight ago. despite missing out on pole to george russell in montreal, the changeable conditions saw two safety cars, and verstappen was able to get ahead during pitstops to take victory.

in a thrilling battle behind him, lando norris claimed second in his mercedes ahead of fellow british driver mclaren�*s george russell, who completed the podium. at the european athletics championships in rome, britain's dina asher—smith has won gold in the women's 100 metres. she took victory in 10.99 seconds, crossing the line ahead of poland's ewa swoboda and italy's zaynab dosso. it's asher—smith's first major international medal since winning european 200 metres silver in 2022. i've been working really hard on my top—end speed and i was really happy, despite not getting the best start for me, of being able to wake it back. that's definitely a new skill we have worked really hard on. but, yeah, that was a bit hairy! just a little bit! but, you know, i made it! with the tour de france three weeks away, primoz roglic has showed his yellowjersey credentials by winning the criterium du dauphine with

a gutsy ride on the final day. carlos rodriguez, of the ineos grenadiers, won stage 8, but matteojorgenson — who was in second place overall — wasjust behind him, meaning a struggling roglic had to finish within 56 seconds of the american. he made it across the line with eight seconds to spare, to win the dauphine for the second time in his career. golf, and scottie scheffler�*s incredible success continues, as he claimed victory at the memorial tournament. he finished just one shot ahead of collin morikawa for his 11th pga tour title. he's the first player to win five times in a season sincejustin thomas in 2017. meanwhile, linn grant came from 11 shots back on the final day to become the first woman to win two dp world tour titles, as sebastian soderberg blew an eight—shot lead in the final round of the scandinavian mixed. an extraordinary implosion from soderberg, who needed par on the last to win. he had this shot for bogey for a playoff. but remarkably, his effort lipped out, making it a final—round 77 and handing grant victory by one shot, after her final round of 65. all the more special in her

home town of helsingborg. and just a reminder before you go. you can get all the latest sports news from the bbc sport website, including reaction to carlos alcaraz�*s french open win. from me and the rest of the team at the bbc sport centre, goodbye. hello there. weather for the week ahead is perhaps not the story you want. no significant summer sunshine or warmth, i'm afraid. in fact, the story in armagh on sunday really sets the scene. just a high of ten degrees. we had cloudy skies, with light rain or drizzle, with a cool northerly wind as well. now, that rain is sinking its way steadily southwards, and it will clear away from eastern england and south—east england during monday morning. behind it, this northerly wind and this cooler air source starts to kick in across the country. so a rash of showers. a cold, brisk wind driving

those showers in off exposed coasts, and drifting their way steadily south across scotland and northern ireland as we go through the morning. here's our cloud and rain still lingering across east yorkshire, lincolnshire first thing in the morning. some heavier bursts. that will ease away. best of any brighter skies perhaps across southern england, down to the south—west. here, showers should be few and further between. but nevertheless, that wind direction still really digging in right across the country. so sunny spells, scattered showers, a brisk north—westerly wind for many, so temperatures just below par, really, for this time of year. a maximum of 10 to 15 degrees for most. we might see highs of 17 or 18, if we get some sunshine across south—west england and wales. now, as we move out of monday into tuesday, the low pressure drifts off to scandinavia, high pressure builds. it should start to kill off some of the showers out to the west. but with those clearing skies, well, those temperatures will be below par through the night as well. low single figures for some.

quite a chilly start to our tuesday morning. hopefully some sunshine around on tuesday. there will continue to be some showers, most frequent ones running down through central and eastern scotland and england. further west, some brighter skies, and once again, highs of 17 degrees. but for many, just a maximum of 10 to 15 once again. moving out of tuesday into wednesday, winds will fall lighter still for a time, but there's another low pushing in and that will bring some wetter weather to close out the end of the working week. it will gradually start to change the wind direction. so after a drier day on wednesday, it will turn that little bit milder, but also wetter, as we head into the weekend.

live from washington, this is bbc news. emmanuel macron calls for a snap election after his alliance is defeated by the far—right european parliament vote. elsewhere in the elections, voters snub the governing parties of germany, spain and belgium, the prime minister of italy and poland had cause to celebrate. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu under pressure after a member of his war cabinet benny gantz quits and demands an election. hello, i'm helena humphrey. glad you could join me.

france is going to the polls — again. the country's president, emmanuel macron, called a snap parliamentary vote sunday night after his centrist alliance was trounced by the far—right in european parliament elections. ina in a speech after exit polls are released, he said he could not ignore the results and the dissolving parliament is an act of trust in the french people. translation: the rise - of nationalists and demagogues is a danger for our nation but also for europe, for france's position in europe and in the world. and i say this even though we have just celebrated with the whole world the normandy landing, and as in a few weeks we will welcome the world for the olympic and paralympic games. yes, the far—right is both the result of the impoverishment of the french and the downgrading of our country, so at the end of this day, i cannot act as if nothing had happened.
