before packed the city today, even before the manchester bombing this was a lwa ys the manchester bombing this was always good to be a major security operation. but the extra patience required was more than worth it for a seat at the match of the season. the team sheet tonight reads like a who's who of the great lawyers in european football. ronaldo, who's who of the great lawyers in europeanfootball. ronaldo, higuain. there was the usual razzmatazz before kick—off. the black eyed peas put on a decent show. they couldn't come close to the performance that followed and who else but cristiano ronaldo to sweep on the opener from madrid. juventus countered with a goal to take breath away. mandzukic‘s touch levelled them at half—time. this would be a night further outrageous. casemiro‘s thunderbolt was an target but it went beyond buffon in goal. but

modric past and ronaldo pounced. time forjuventus to have a man sent off and real madrid to score another. legendary status ascending even further. madrid's legendary status of sending even further. i huge roar has erupted from the stadium behind me, real madrid have another european cup. so many superlatives to use about this match, and juventus have been brilliant this season but yet again, as we have seen, real madrid and cristiano ronaldo arejust again, as we have seen, real madrid and cristiano ronaldo are just that much better. ollie foster live in cardiff. thanks. aidan o'brien‘s 40—1 shot wings of eagles won today's epsom derby. jockey padraig beggy, in his first ride in the race, brought the horse home from deep in the field to beat favourites cliffs of moher and cracksman, who was ridden by frankie dettori in third. andy murray beatjuan martin del potro in straight sets to reach

the fourth round of the french open as he looks to replicate his run to last year's final. the british number two, kyle edmund, is out, beaten by south africa's kevin anderson. adam wild reports. the backdrop is instantly recognisable. centrestage in paris unmistakable. ahead of andy murray, a most familiar of foe. the world number one needs little reminding of just whatjuan martin del potro can do. still, here was something to refresh the memory. rivals since theirjunior days, in more recent times, epic counters in rio‘s olympic final and in davis cup hard—fought and rarely brief. the first set lasting almost an hour and a half. del potro letting slip four set points. murray eventually winning the tie break. from such blows, it can be difficult to recover. murray now finally finding those flashes of his brilliant best, that had been all too rare of late. keeping ahead and finishing with a flourish. winning the last seven games to close out the match, a familiar rivalry,

a familiar winner. straight sets but, for andy murray, but this was anything but straightforward. add a mild, bbc news. and the british and irish rugby union team beat the provincial barbarians 13—7 in first to match of new zealand. and that is all sport. thank you very much. you can see more on all of today's stories on the bbc news channel. that's all from me. goodnight. this is bbc news. the headlines: the prime minister insists it's her firm intention to cut taxes, but declined to give any guarantees. what people will know when they go to vote on thursday is that it's the conservative party that always has been and is and always will be a low—tax party. jeremy corbyn accuses the conservatives of being in "complete chaos" over their tax plans. one minister says they're going to give no more tax rises, indeed,

welcome to bbc news. good evening. jeremy corbyn has accused the conservatives' of being in "complete chaos" over their tax policy. it comes after theresa may failed to back comments made by cabinet colleagues that there would be no income tax rises under a conservative government. the manifesto makes no commitment towards income tax but both the defence secretary, sir michael fallon, and the foreign secretary, borisjohnson, said the tax would not rise if the tories won the election. with more — our political correspondent iain watson. senior conservatives, including the defence secretary and foreign secretary, have been sending out a strong message to their core voters. the conservative manifesto does not

make those promises, so is it hastily being written days ahead of the election? our position on tax has not changed. we have set it out in the manifesto. what people will know when they've vote on thursday, it is the conservative party who always has and is a low tax party. it is our intention to reduce taxes for ordinary working families. what does the conservative manifesto say on tax? at the last election david cameron promise not to increase income tax, national insurance or vat. the 2017 manifesto, only the pledge on vat remains. theresa may could have tough brexit talks ahead. there is no pledge not to increase income tax was that she and her colleagues are talking about tax today because they want to

refocus attention in this campaign about what would happen if a labour chancellor moves into number 11 downing street. how are you doing? all right? i am now i have met you. labour says the policy of making the better off and big businesses pay more is popular and the conservatives lack clarity. there is chaos going on at the top of the government. what labour is offering is no tax rises or insurance rises or vat rises. for 95% of the population. an increase in corporation tax and some other tax increases at the top end to pay for social care. lib dems accused the conservatives are shifting attention away from their policies on social care. are shifting attention away from their policies on social carem has cost theresa may a lot of credibility. by moving on to taxation, they are not helping themselves, because they have been very arrogant and have refused to

spell out which taxes they would raise. they know they're to raise taxes. theresa may is still ahead in the polls so probably isn't looking for divine intervention. the night, she visiting a hindu temple in london. she wants to broaden her support, but moving attention onto tax today has turned out to be a mixed blessing. in scotland the leader of the scottish national party , of the scottish national party, nicola sturgeon, is undertaking a tour of 30 constituencies by helicopter. scotland's first minister took to the skies in the final weekend of election campaigning, and is visiting six key constituencies over the course of saturday. the snp won 56 of the 59 seats in scotland in the 2015 general election, a record result which polls suggest they will struggle to match this time round. speaking to the bbc, ms sturgeon, said that she would be willing to enter into a coalition with the labour party in the event of a hung parliament. well, i've always said if the arithmetic allowed it, i'd want the snp to be part of a progressive

alternative to a tory government, a progressive alternative that invested in public services and protected pensions and had policies that lifted people out of poverty, but i think the polls in the rest of the uk still suggest the tories will win this election, but it's no longer inevitable that theresa may increases her majority, because she's been exposed throughout this campaign as being weak, evasive, no answers to basic questions. so, you've got pollsters now saying that whether or not she increases her majority could come down to the outcome here in scotland, so let's not throw theresa may a lifeline by boosting her majority, let's put scotland's interest first, let's get strong snp mps to the house of commons so that we can continue to stand up for scotland and stand up for the kind of country we want to be. the snp leader, nicola sturgeon. the liberal democrats have unveiled a poster attacking the conservative's social care plans. the image was revealed in westminster. the poster features a picture of theresa may with the caption #dementiatax. don't bet your house on it'.

kabul is still reeling from the aftermath of the huge blast on wednesday which killed over 90 people. many residents are furious with the authorities for not providing better security. one of the leaders of the unity government was at the funeral today. i asked him why so many attacks seemed to be succeeding. i would say that we will raise this issue very seriously within our own system. but you are not considering your own position and resigning? if that would have been the solution, that would have been the first thing i would have resorted to. there is real anger here at the rising tide of violence but it seems no one, not the government and not the international community, knows how to stop it. an 18—year—old man has died after

all with advanced ovarian cancer. the result — tumours shrank significantly in almost half of the women over the course of five weeks. one of the fantastic things about this new drug that's being developed here is that it has so few side—effects compared to traditional chemotherapy. and that's because it specifically targets cancer cells, leaving healthy cells unharmed. this drug attacks the tumour, and you see very encouraging tumour responses, but you don't see the common side—effects like hair loss or sore mouth or diarrhoea or susceptibility to infections as seen with other chemotherapeutic agents. but the scientists are urging caution. they say it was a very small study, and it's too early to know whether the success could be replicated in a larger group of patients. they now want to plan the next phase of the trial. sophie hutchinson, bbc news.

a major clinical trial has also found that thousands of men being treated for advanced prostate cancer could benefit from taking an existing treatment much earlier. cancer research uk found that combining the drug abiratarone with another drug used in the initial phase of hormone therapy cuts the risk of dying by nearly a0 %. abiratarone is normally used when other hormone treatments have failed. earlier we spoke to dr aine mccarthy — senior science information officer at cancer research uk, and she told us more about the research this was a men with high risk of their cancer spreading of whom were at risk of having their treatment may be not work as well. we looked in this group and found that when they combined the normal treatment,

where they reduce hormones, and combine that with the other drug, it greatly improved survival compared to just the hormone therapy on its own. some breaking news to bring you: we are getting reports via reuters that police are attending an incident at london bridge in central london. we understand the officers are armed, and there is a report to suggest that london bridge station is closed. that is reuters quoting london transport. we can speak to hollyjones, a bbc reporter. tell us where you are and what you can see. hello. i am currently on london bridge. i am on the right—hand side away from the shard. a white van
