blink, beating everyone to the first corner. hamilton sees sebastien vettel as this main rival the season and the fight was taken to him. before the dust could settle, this crash brought the safety car out and lewis hamilton in forfresh crash brought the safety car out and lewis hamilton in for fresh tyres. 0n lewis hamilton in for fresh tyres. on this way to the peat he'd deliberately held at daniel ricardo. he regained third place but was given a five second penalty. and it got worse for hamilton. ferrari's smarter strategy delivering vettel the lead. 0n fresh tyres, hamilton passed valteri bottas. but he could not catch vettel, galloping tooheys wind. —— galloping to his win. 0n the pga tour wesley bryan

completed a bogey—free back nine bryan completed a bogey—free back nine to win the rbc heritage in south carolina on sunday by a stroke finishing on 13 under. but without doubt the best shot of the day was from another american peter malnati who managed a hole in one on the par three 17th as the balljust cleared the front bunkers and edged its way into the cup to help him finish on two under. england's luke donald finished second handing him a fifth runner—up finish at the event but he did console himself with this miraculous bunker shot for birdie on the 11th. but it was bryan who with this tap—in par on the 18th secured his first pga tour victory, and also became the first south ca rolina—born champion at the event since it began in 1969. since winning the masters injanuary 0'sullivan has only colac the a1—year—old, ronnie sullivan, started the afternoon session in the lead, moving to seven — five with this break. wilson did

be intimidated or bullied. that wasn't the only match taking place on sunday and rounding up the rest of the action is jamie broughton. at the age ofjust 17, at the age ofjust17, this player is the second youngest player to make their debut here. he came through three rounds of qualifying to play on the greatest stage of snooker. his opponent won the opening frame. but he quickly responded. some brilliant work saw him claim the second frame with a century break. he had a chance in the next but broke down. murphy punished him. the 2005 world champion then turned on the style. he made a century to lead 3—1. he followed that with another century. murphy had chances in frame six but could not take them. the chinese

player capitalised with a break of 33, proving to be decisive. the young star then took the next. he was playing well. unfortunately for him, murphy claimed the final two frames of the session which provided great entertainment for the crowd in the crucible. this man has had a successful season, the hong kong man w011 successful season, the hong kong man won the scottish open and was a semifinalist at the uk championship and the masters. but he made a poor start to this match while the belgian player scored heavily when he got the chance. it was not looking good for fu. after the midsession interval, the belgian made another big break to go 5—0 up. fu then responded to finally win a frame. the belgian took the next or stories five frame lead. but fu kept his hopes alive with a centre in the last frame of the session to trail

we have time for, unfortunately. until next time, goodbye for now. good morning. the forecast is one that benefits those on break. not much rain around, but some dry and quite sunny weather to enjoy at times. turning warmer, after a chilly start overnight. will still stay blustery, especially in the south, and quite cold out there at the moment. as we start the day, we have high pressure to the west of us, low pressure to the north—east, the northerly pressure bringing cold air notjust to us but to a good part of northern and eastern europe as well. now, most will start dry and bright across the northern half of the uk. so let's start the forecast for easter monday here. there may be one or two showers across parts of scotland, but a brighter day to begin

with across northern england, and indeed northern ireland. northern ireland should stay dry throughout. but showers and rain, sleet to lower levels. sleet and snow in eastern scotland will drift away southwards through the day, followed by much, much sunnier conditions. whereas further south we start off with the cloud, and maybe the odd spot of light rain and drizzle for parts of wales, the midlands, into the south, in particular. there will be very few showers through the day. most will avoid them. if they do come your way, they will be fairly fleeting. and notice how the clouds break up, more sunshine developing through the afternoon. so again, just about across—the—board, more of you will see the sunshine on easter monday than you did through monday. these are the temperatures to finish through the afternoon. lighter winds further south. in the sunshine, should feel reasonably pleasant. we finish the day with lots of showers in northern england, and they will drift down the eastern areas to take us through the night and into tuesday. as they ease off, the skies clear, the wind falls that little bit lighter, temperatures will plummet.

for those of you in the northern half of uk, it will be the coldest night of the week. away from the towns and cities, temperatures —5 to —7 in some parts of scotland, most just about avoiding frost across the south. probably a bit too much breeze into tuesday, could bring the odd shower, and we could see the odd spot of rain in the hebrides a bit later. but for the commuters, a cold start to tuesday, but for those on holiday it is looking like a good day. most places dry, with lots of sunshine. a bit of a fresh spring day, but that sun is strong enough to make it still feel reasonably pleasant. then, as we go through wednesday, a high establishes itself across the southern half of the uk. we will see westerly winds pushing into the south of scotland. that will bring the cloud, the odd spot of rain, that will push into parts of northern ireland, as well, keeping the temperatures up here on wednesday morning. but further south, this will be a colder start to the week. one or two of you could get down to —6 or —7. couldn't rule out the odd shower to the south and east, but most places will be dry and fairly sunny. goodbye for now.
