6:34 pm
should be a joyous occasion this weekend, the highlight of the sporting calendar in so many ways. but should we expect a slightly different atmosphere? first of all, you have to get him much earlier. we have even come in the night before. there are a lot of checks on the way m, there are a lot of checks on the way in, so fans have to get here early. show the respecting occasion by getting her earlier giving the police and the authorities the time to check you out. there will be a lot of respect around. this is two luncheon clubs, but we have to remember manchester is a good footballing city as well. memories for myself, playing in 1989 in the cup final for myself, playing in 1989 in the cupfinaland it for myself, playing in 1989 in the cup final and it was two the teams from another city, liverpool versus everton. in the wake of the hillsborough disaster. it is much more poignant. you come on and yes, there is specific to verve, but you have to be professional. —— there is
6:35 pm
a perspective there. it will have that extra little bit of poignancy and people will feel that bit more, one is still thinking about manchester. that's what we seen this week, sport has been put in perspective, but certainly sport has a place for everyone as we all sort of more what happened last monday. let's turn to the football, and could have chelsea got here. nobody really could stop them romping to the league title, and they've looked so the league title, and they've looked so strong in the cup as well. pedro! lovely goal! chelsea safely through to the fourth round of the fa cup. it's willian! it in! it's gone through to pedro, and its 2—0.
6:36 pm
ivan rakitic. .. 3—0! gone through to pedro, and its 2—0. ivan rakitic... 3—0! chelsea safely through. it's willian, pedro ingrid position. pedro! 1—0 chelsea. it has come to diego costa, and that has finished it. the possible double is still on. he finds a way i! it willian who schools for chelsea!m goes this corner kick. it comes out, it's dangerous, it hazard! it in! 0h, brilliant goal! chelsea are into the 20s and 19 fa cup final. the double is still on. it certainly is.
6:37 pm
that's how they got here, some brilliant goals along the way, especially those ones in the semifinal against spurs. do they have one more win in them? who is the manager. we could start as underdogs. because we won the league. instead in the other side, we will face a team that lost the possibility to play the champions league next season. and they have only this possibility, to save the season. only this possibility, to save the season. we must pay great attention, we must wait focus. for sure, tomorrow will be a tough game for both teams. but we are ready. we are ready to fight, to play a good game, to try to win the trophy. until you
6:38 pm
contain are saying they are ready to fight. they've looked so strong. we would talking before we came on air, you are saying they're playing lovely stuff at the moment. part of the season they had to grind results outcome in italian style there were not giving goals away. there was a couple of changes partway through the season. there is a game against everton which they won 5—0, which some of the footballers, dare i say barcelona, it was that special. they have been really good the last five, six, seven weeks. they've grown in confidence and played really good football. particularly that ball by matic. but also antonia contain himself his tactic this season. he's inside with hazard diego costa, and he still managed to find his way past. 0ne he still managed to find his way past. one a fantastic debut season
6:39 pm
for antonio conte. arsenal one of the teams got the better of him early doors, the 3—0 win. that sparked the change to the three at the back, that contributed to it. they never looked back! more than contributed. that was the day. a lot of fa ns contributed. that was the day. a lot of fans will say the same thing. they will say that was the moment. not at the end of the game, halfway through. alonso runs on, catches it on camera. the backline changes and from that, the entire season for chelsea changes. he didn't stick with the same system all season he adapted a few times. it's been great. it's worked an absolute treat. i must say, istill don't think we've seen 25% of the acumen he actually has. he's very, very special, he's done brilliantly this season. special, he's done brilliantly this season. there's more to come. that's a frightening thought. stay with us. that is chelsea wrapped up. we'll see if it antonio conte has another and tactical masterplan for us and
6:40 pm
arsene wenger tomorrow. what is riding on this far so? it's safe to say they've had a fairly easy passage to the final. a fantastic strike for aaron ramsey! danny welbeck finishes in fine style. 4-0 arsenal. as easy as you like once again from arsenal. somehow, sutton united are playing arsenal. it's gone all the way in! lucas arsenal. it's gone all the way in! lu cas ta kes arsenal. it's gone all the way in! lucas takes the congratulations. and thatis lucas takes the congratulations. and that is surely arsenal through to the quarterfinals of the fa cup. olivier giraud! 2—0. brilliantly placed on arsenal four.
6:41 pm
olivier giraud! 2—0. brilliantly placed on arsenalfour. perhaps more history and this is an‘s competition lies ahead for arsenal. really good cross! really good finish! sanchez has scored! arsenal are into the fa cup final. for the last couple of months, arsene wenger has been coy about his future. he is said to us he's made his decision and will know in march or april, kept us hanging on, now there's a board meeting coming on at the end of the season. probably next week. will that decide his future? has he decided? what does he think about this match? let's hear from him i don't care about me, i care about us winning the game on saturday. when you go in the game on saturday. when you go in the game on saturday. when you go in the game can accept in the cup final, you can accept the challenge. you just want to win it. the last
6:42 pm
warrior i have is my personally in the game like that, that's part art of what makes it exciting —— the last warrior i have. you can win, lose, or draw, that's what makes football great. that's why people follow that, the intensity of the emotions involved as well. one arsene wenger talking about the intensity of emotions involved. you know so much about this competition, has paid it so much respect in its 20 years. if he wins this, it will be the seventh time that he's won it, that will be a record. people a lwa ys it, that will be a record. people always forget what happened in the past because they have been difficult times, particularly in the league for arsene wenger. taking nothing away from it. he's had a great career. it may not be over yet, and if he wins his trophy there's a chance it could go on from here. even arsene wenger has to adapt and change over time. i'm
6:43 pm
happy he has managed to adapt. he's gone recently for 343, don't know where he got that idea from. there's been a good deal, five wins in a row, that's going to be difficult one. not shrinking violets, not a shy team, it'll be an exciting final. he's had these fans on his back for the last couple of months. can he signed off on a high? many people thought they would come unstuck against manchester city. they were lucky not to come unstuck. there was a goal that should have been given in that game. sometimes your name is on the cup, you get a bit lucky now begun. that might be the case of arsenal this year. i do feel as if he absolutely needs it. not that the pressure is on from his own fans, if you look at the rest of the premier league, you have manchester city, united will be next year, chelsea will be strong. the
6:44 pm
teams around everton are getting better. it's going to be very hard. he's not got in the top four, he could do with a trophy. we will see. thank you for your fault this evening. we will be back later towards the end of the programme. but it really is a busy weekend, and my colleague and will go through what is happening over the next 24-48 what is happening over the next 24—48 hours. thanks ollie, quite a bit of other sport for you, starting at manchester's great city games... thousands of people have turned out to watch some of the country's best athletes compete in the city's heartland. katherine downes is there live for us now.. what has been going on there? well, you've just missed the end of the longjump, you've just missed the end of the long jump, what you've just missed the end of the longjump, whatan you've just missed the end of the long jump, what an exciting event it was. there is sunshine in manchester, the crowd is beginning to leave about 200 yards down the ya rd to to leave about 200 yards down the yard to dean skate where there is plenty of sprinting. it was won by
6:45 pm
great britain's 2012 gold medallist from the olympics greg rutherford. and a whopping jump from him. so early on in the season. 8.18 metres. at the moment, 8.52 is his best ever. at this point in the season, really encouraging performance from greg rutherford who wins his fifth city games in manchester. about 200 yards away just down city games in manchester. about 200 yards awayjust down the hill, there has been transformed into a sprinting track. the crowd stubborn i have been treated to some top—level sprinting as well. johnny peacock, won his event. he wanted to go sub10.9, just peacock, won his event. he wanted to go sub 10.9, just a split second separating johnny peacock from a dream start. but looking good for him as he builds towards the para world championships later on this summer. asher philip, one of the rising stars of british sprinting, she won their women's 100 metres.
6:46 pm
shejust she won their women's 100 metres. she just beat sally pearson, the 2012100 metres gold medallist. i just split second, from australia. but a great run in front of a crowd of hundreds, maybe even thousands down here in manchester. it's funny to think looking at that track, running along dean date, the main thoroughfares through manchester. this is all happening just five, maybe ten minutes' walk from the arena whether bombing happened on monday. the security all around the city, ardent guards everywhere. this isa city, ardent guards everywhere. this is a chance for manchester to come out and show they are not afraid and will stand in solidarity. the sport has been a side story, but it has been a chance for manchester to once again get together and say we are not afraid. thank you much. the play—off final is at twickenham
6:47 pm
tomorrow. wasps and exeter only divided by the number of wins. in a long, brutal season, there is one more heat. in the semifinals, both exeter chiefs victory over mighty saracens and wasps win over leicester tigers were matches decided in the closing minutes. the teams know the value of the last drop. wasps were london wasps last time they reach the final. since then, they have dosed with relegation and bankruptcy, and have no planted themselves what they believe to be more fertile midland soil in coventry. when you see 20,000, 30,000 you can't help but feel a bit emotional about it, considering where we have come from. the permission of final is beyond dreams a couple of seasons ago, but won't do ourselves justice. dreams a couple of seasons ago, but won't do ourselvesjustice. wasps finished top of the table, but they
6:48 pm
will be without their australian star and face side unbeaten in 16 premiership and play—off matches. exeter have been champions before, of the second tier. only since 2010 have they been part of shrubby‘s elite. since then they have survived, thrived and strive for the first premiership trophy. saracens stop last year, benalla chiefs have even beating them. still, no time to to linger on revenge —— but even the chiefs have beaten them. we don't feel like we are achieved everything we could this season, but that's only a feeling, and feelings have to be backed up by actions. we have to go out there and perform at the level we can as a club. 23 games played, even the bookies are struggling to separate these two. it may come down to the very last heave. the feast for rugby union fans continues after that game at twickenham as dublin hosts the pro 12 final... scarlets, who finished third,
6:49 pm
will take on top of the table of the table munster at the aviva stadium at 6.15pm. ben ainslie's land rover bar team are aiming to become the first british crew to win the america's cup, but qualifying has been delayed today by 24 hours due to high winds in the north atlantic. ainslie is the most successful sailor in olympic history and was part of team oracle usa — who won the last competition four years ago. i guess you could say the americas cup becomes a life obsession. it's incredibly complex game. setting up a new team, you need to raise the funding, find the right skill set across—the—board funding, find the right skill set across—the—boa rd and bring funding, find the right skill set across—the—board and bring that altogether, and it does take time. it's very hard as a new team to come into the america's cup and get into a dominant position. certainly that's what we're aiming to achieve. i think we've come a long way in the last three years. whether or not we can achieve that in this particular cup remains to be seen. but it will be the biggest achievement if we could pull it off and win the
6:50 pm
america's cup for britain. you know, look at our sporting maritime heritage, it's one thing that's missing. it would be huge. ahead of this weekend's monaco grand prix. the reigning world champion nico rosberg has told the bbc formula 1 is "as good as it's ever been" and that he doesn't regret his decision to retire after winning the championship last year. i'm completely, you know, fulfilled in that sense. in that chapter is really closed for me. and i'm just looking forward now, you know? and really excited about what's to come. and even excited to be honest, looking back. because it'sjust for me, it was a perfect ending, the perfect career in my eyes and what i wa nted perfect career in my eyes and what i wanted to achieve. and just very happy, and lucky in a sense also, to have that feeling. and now to have the opportunity of 31 two, you know, open up another career. before we hand back to ollie, here's a quick run through the day's other sporting stories. manchester city are expected to announce the signing of
6:51 pm
the 22—year—old portugal international bernardo silva from monaco for a reported fee of £43 million. scotland's scott jamieson is the joint leader on day two of the pga championship at wentworth alongside thomas pieters on seven under par. england's lee westwood is in also contention — two shots behind. tom dumoulin has lost the leader's pinkjersey at the giro d'italia — finishing stage 19 — just over a minute behind his main rivals. colombia's nairo quintana now leads by 31 seconds, with two stages to go. britain's adam yates keeps the white jersey for best young rider. world number one and top seed andy murray will play russia's andrey kuznetsov — ranked 84 places below him in the first round of the french open. british number one johanna konta faces unseeded soo way shay of chinese taipei. it starts on sunday. and england all rounder ben stokes is fit to play in the second one day international against south africa tomorrow. england will wrap up the three match series with victory in southampton.
6:52 pm
it really is a busy weekend, when you consider that in london there are the play—offs here. 80,000 at twickenham over the weekend watching the premiership play—off final. a big game at hamden too. before we get more on this cup final, let's touch on the scottish cup final a last chance to stop the invicibales — celtic unbeaten in every domestic match are on for the treble. aberdeen are their opponents in the final i think the level of play they have in the performances they've produced, i think anything other than a travel would be very disappointing for them. when i put ourselves under pressure to deliver for ourselves. we've had a very good season, and we can have, and also have a very good season if we lose tomorrow. but we can have a
6:53 pm
brilliant season, special season, by winning this tomorrow. they have, you know, certainly exceeded what i thought they could achieve. myjob is to lead and to push and to demand. and the players have been able to cope with that. you do well to see a season again like it, to go through the season unbeaten. winning 34 of your games and winning both of your domestic cups. that's our plan, that are a and we'll do our very best to do that. let's return to this match now , if arsenal win it would be cup finals and where, what a busy weekend you will be —— it will be. 80,000 at twickenham for the rugby cup final as well. after back to business. we touch on arsene wenger‘s future. he's not letting us
6:54 pm
know. it could be decided at a board meeting. so many opinions about what should happen. here's one worth listening to, bob wilson, played for arsenal over ten years. a double win backin arsenal over ten years. a double win back in 1971. here's what he thinks this much means that the club and arsene wenger. obviously it is a cup final, sir cup final, all sorts of things can happen. surprises, silly mistakes. we certainly don't need to lose any more players. and we are against a very deserving chelsea side, because they have been outstanding and how they have managed to stay ahead of what has been an outstanding spurs side as well. we will see what happens. pat is back with me. i be thought about which way this will go? can you predict it? you can't predict any football game with absolute certainty, but if both play to the
6:55 pm
top of their ability, chelsea should win. and certainly the likes of eden hazard, they have an extraordinary player. the economy have sanchez as well. people turn up on the day and special things happen on fa cup final day. now and again, there would be a surprise. many years ago, wimbledon managed to beat liverpool a none overcoming. don't rate it off, but the favourites are chelsea. who has the greater motivation?m should be arsenal, because chelsea won the league last week. hence my antonia conte keeps talking about anger and hunger. he antonia conte keeps talking about angerand hunger. he has antonia conte keeps talking about anger and hunger. he has to make sure they have that. without that, arsenal have a great chance. but i suspect they will be hungry and angry enough. many thanks indeed. you'll be able to hear pat's pulled across the bbc. the fa cup final is on tv, online, already as well. they're getting ready to put on a show at wembley stadium at the end of what has been a very difficult week. you might not be able to see it, but they are putting thousands
6:56 pm
upon thousands of these scarves upon every single seat. people who know me will know how deeply uncomfortable this feels, to be carrying these two scarves, but it should be quite something tomorrow. both these teams have enjoyed their fa cup moments down the years. only one of them will enjoy tomorrow. from all of us in this fa cup double, goodbye. —— fa cup sportsday. he scores! george has done it! sunderland! 0h, oh, what about this? what about this? it's dropped by with a first goal in
6:57 pm
6:58 pm
day today. it'll be a hot night tonight, but things are changing. 29 a high today, just beating yesterday's high of 28. when we have under activity to the west of ireland, and that creeps in across south—west of england overnight. south of wales as well. elsewhere, it will just be south of wales as well. elsewhere, it willjust be quite oppressive again, quite sticky in places. we have the sea fog returning to the north sea coast as well. quite a bit going on weather—wise in the next few days, almost as if whoever knows ifa bank few days, almost as if whoever knows if a bank holiday weekend. some showers moving across england and wales tomorrow morning. then some wetter weather. at the heat of the day with a weather system later on, we could see some large downpours. quite hopefulfor we could see some large downpours. quite hopeful for the south of the fa cup, and still very hot here indeed. if you are a spectator, be aware, stay hydrated, strong sunshine as well. but there will be big downpours elsewhere. there are warnings out there on the websites.
6:59 pm
i'll have more for you later. this is bbc news. the headlines at 7pm: police investigating the suicide attack in manchester say they've got hold of a "large part" of the terror network behind the bombing. they are very significant, these arrests. we're very happy we've got our hands around some of the key players that we're concerned about. but as i say, there's still a little bit more to do. with the security level still at critical, armed police are in force at the start of the bank holiday weekend as more than 1,000 public events take place. also this hour: an election row asjeremy corbyn links british military intervention abroad to terrorist atrocities at home. the conservatives call his comments crass and ill timed, but the labour leader insists there must be a new approach to foreign policy. we must be brave enough to admit that the war on terror is not working. we need a smarter way to reduce the threat from countries
