# happy birthday to you... and andy murray turns 30 — and celebrates in rome, as he aims to defend his italian open title. welcome to the programme. chelsea are already the premier league champions and will receive the prized trophy on the final day of the season. tonight though, they get to celebrate with their home fans. antonio conte‘s men take on watford at stamford bridge — and our football correspondent john murray is there. it's going to be a cracking night, isn't it, john? what immediately strikes you as you walk up to stamford bridge now, on the east stand, the opposite side of the east stand, the opposite side of

the ground from where i am, they have a huge banner that says" home of the champions". it hasn't taken chelsea long to get the branding right. you could almost be forgiven for thinking they expected it. we have seen antonio conte become the darling of the press and the fans. what sort of reception will he get tonight? raucous. if you saw his celebrations when the title was clinched on friday night, if chelsea score one or two clinched on friday night, if chelsea score one oi’ two oi’ more clinched on friday night, if chelsea score one or two or more goals this evening against watford, who are now safe in the premier league, we will see exuberant celebrations for him. it's going to be a party night tonight. sunderland manager david moyes admits he pretty much agrees with alan shearer‘s dire assessment of their performance against swansea on saturday. already relegated, sunderland were beaten 2—0 in their last home game of the season —

and they're almost certain to lose star striker jermain defoe in the summer. shearer described the side as "disgraceful" "pathetic" and "lazy", saying they needed "major surgery" to have any chance of returning to the premier league. in many ways, he was right. i was incredibly disappointed with the performance. i don't think any player goes out to try to perform like that. there were some reasons for it. i'm privy to the stats, i can see the physical stats and an much of that i couldn't disagree. arsenal host sunderland tomorrow night — and arsene wenger has urged his fans to attend the game, rather than take part in a mass boycott. many supporters' groups want the frenchman removed as manager and say they want to send a message to him and owner stan kroenke that arsenal "should be doing so much better". the gunners are three points adrift of the champions league places, but wenger hasn't given up on a top four finish. we won six of the last seven games and we have created the momentum again after having a period

where we were away from home and not strong. now we have won the last three away games, it is positive. tottenham's new stadium is taking shape, as we can see in these aerial shots taken this morning. the pitch at white hart lane is already being dug up — less than 2a hours after the last match there yesterday — with work on the new 61,000 seater ground next door progressing well. it'll be ready for the 2018—19 season, with tottenham playing their home matches at wembley in the meantime. anyone involved in football will be familiar with the insults that fly around the field — but it's not often you hear anyone being slammed as a "vegan". that's a common taunt thrown at the forest green rovers side, who'll be playing in the football league for the first time, after beating tranmere in the national league play—off final at wembley. they're based in the gloucestershire village of nailsworth and their chairman and backer

is dale vince, an environmental campaigner and owner of a green energy company. he has enforced a vegan diet on the players. one of the scorers yesterday was christian doidge, who says he doesn't miss eating meat, now he's used to a vegan diet. surprised at first and as you go along with it you get used to it and it is absolutely fine now. if i was to act any differently, i would find it weird now. it is what the chairman wants so you've got to do it. it comes from our work in the environment and focusing on sustainability. three areas of life we have control over and account for 80% of environmental problems. we find that represented. we have an organic page, vegan menu, electric cars, and so on. we are showing fans

of foot ball cars, and so on. we are showing fans of football that we need to change the way we live for an reasons. —— for environmental reasons. manchester city have another trophy in the cabinet — thanks to the women's team, who beat birmingham city ladies in the fa cup final on saturday. among the scorers in that 4—1 victory was england defender lucy bronze, who spoke to me earlier. she said that with more experience they will be able to match the european elite. it isa it is a question of experience. we played a team that have been in for five finals. it was our first champions league experience as a team. asa champions league experience as a team. as a club, as a team, it was the first champions league experience and we ended up playing who i see as going to win the tournament. we learnt a lot from

lyon. it is a club we want to emulate. it is fine margins and i'm sure we'll get there in the near future. the fa chairman greg clarke says football has a responsibility to take the lead on fighting homophobia and make sure players feel comfortable about coming out as gay. he says there's still a big problem in the men's game and he hasn't found any gay players willing to speak to him. at stonewall‘s rainbow laces summit at old trafford, professional footballers' association chief gordon taylor says he doesn't know of a single gay male footballer currently playing the game. it may well be that a player wants to be known as a football player and not as the first gay footballer. it's been the same with any of our is use. without somebody prepared to ta ke is use. without somebody prepared to take the lead and others to follow and feel confident to follow, it

becomes very difficult. jonny brownlee says he cannot afford to make any mistakes, if he's to become world triathlon champion. he was caught up in a crash in yokohama at the weekend — his bike was broken and he finished in 42nd place. he is fine and says he is ready to continue with his campaign. i'm 0k, surprisingly. a very lucky that i didn't break any bones. i feel i'm in good shape. looking forward to changing it in leeds and making it right. yourfirst forward to changing it in leeds and making it right. your first reaction is to get the bike and hopefully carry on racing. i realised that my bike was broken and i wasn't able to continue. i don't like not finishing races so i tried to run the into end with the bike. but i was out of the race. that was disappointing. it

means that leeds is very important. i've had three races so far and not got any point in any of them. i missed the first two fruit injury. —— through injury. it means i need to get points if i have a chance of being world champion. i'm still in with a chance. hopefully, in a couple of months' time it will be different but it means that leeds is very important. england's women's cricket captain heather knight has told the bbc that there's no pressure on wicketkeeper sarah taylor to hurry her comeback to the side. taylor took a break last may after suffering with anxiety, but returned to training earlier this year, and took part in their pre—season tour to abu dhabi. if all goes well, she could return in time for the women's world cup in england next month. great to see her back in an england shirt. the main thing is to get her in the right place. taking it day by day at the moment. if the world cup is too soon, i don't know but it would be unfair to put pressure on

sarah to make it back. we'd love to have her in the team but it's about getting her in the right place and we will support her as a team as much as we can in doing that. maria sharapova is guaranteed a place in the qualifying competition for wimbledon, after she won herfirst—round match at the italian 0pen. she earned enough ranking points with a straight—sets victory over christine mchale, and if she reaches the semi—finals in rome, the five—time grand slam champion, who's returning from a is—month doping ban, will qualify for wimbledon's main draw. britain's number three will face novak djokovic after being given a walkover. he his opponent called it a day in the third set. kyle edmund saw off his portuguese opponent in straight sets and faces the world the benign chi

nishikori. —— the world number nine. andy murray is in rome to defend his title — but he's still not firing on all cylinders, after a month out with an elbow injury. he starts his campaign against fabio fagnini, after being knocked out in the third round of the madrid 0pen last week, by the world number 59 borna coric. it's tough to necessarily analyse losses in a couple of days when you're also looking to the next tournament but that's also sometimes a positive thing that you have another event to look forward to it immediately, you get a chance to play better, only 4—5 days after a tough match. and let's add our birthday wishes to murray, who turned 30 today. when in rome — you get a song and a cake. it's a bit more of a low key birthday for the world number one this year. he beat novak djokovic to lift the italian open title on his 29th birthday last year.

his mum judy retweeted this video adding: "cake is for sharing, right?" we agree with her. that's all from sportsday. there'll be more sport here on bbc news throughout the evening. it's just after 20 to seven. the top stories for you now. the cabinet emergency committee has been meeting after the cyber attack which affected the nhs and is still causing disruption in some areas with routine operations cancelled. jeremy corbyn has promised an extra £37 billion for the nhs and shorter hospital waiting times. an update on the market numbers

for you — here's how london's and frankfurt ended the day. and in the the united states this is how the dow and the nasdaq are getting on. the new french president, emmanuel macron, has been meeting the german chancellor, angela merkel, in berlin this evening. it's president macron's first foreign visit since his inauguration yesterday. they've been giving a joint news conference in the past half hour. let's hearfrom them both — starting with angela merkel. translation: we have exchanged our views today and we have agreed that we are going to continue to work very closely together. for a start, i congratulated the president for his very courageous path that he is going to undertake and the pattern

started jeering his electoral campaign andi started jeering his electoral campaign and i wish him all the very best of luck for his political future to make sure that france remains able to act and react. we know about the significance of the franco german relationship. it is historically a long established relationship and i personally, ifor one, am very much aware of the responsibility, at this critical point in time for the european union, that we can and must take the right decisions and we have agreed to work closely together in friendly terms for the benefit of the people in our countries. i believe that the essence of this relationship should be that, this is what mr mccrum says

to as germans? —— macron. it is in our interests and german interests are very closely linked with french interests and europe can only prosper when french and germany prosper. that's the reason why i feel so committed to this. i say this on behalf of the federal government. we have been discussing about three areas that we are going to intensify over dinner. there are a number of its use, for example, the european asylum system, we are going to talk about the service directive, we are going to talk about issues regarding trade and commerce and we want to create jobs, we wa nted commerce and we want to create jobs, we wanted secure jobs in our countries, something that is going to be very important for people who

are unemployed in germany and perhaps even more importantly in france. secondly, we agreed that our bilateral cooperation will have to be further developed. we are going to connect with points in the past but we want to increase the dynamics and that's the reason why injuly we wa nt to and that's the reason why injuly we want to conduct another german— french council of ministers in order to present a number of projects that should give a new push to our relationship. we have also agreed that in the midterm of the european union, we want to work out a timetable, a road map, if you like, so projects that cannot develop overnight but we have a joint conviction that we are not only going to deal
