the embassy's relocation has prompted concern about the future of the peace process, but president trump says it's a "great day" for israel. the head of mi5 has accused russia of trying to undermine european democracies, and is warning of the ongoing threat from the islamic state group. and there's a cross—party warning of the perils of a so—called hard brexit, but leave campaigners are calling it a last gasp effort by remainers. in a moment it'll be time for sportsday but first a look at what else is coming up this evening on bbc news. dozens of palestinians have been killed in clashes with israeli forces, as the us opens its embassy injerusalem. we'll have the latest from gaza and jerusalem. there's been a sharp rise in the number of children under 11 referred by schools for mental health treatment, we'll be analysing why. and don't forget at 10.40 we'll give you a heads up on tomorrow's front pages in the papers. that's all ahead on bbc news. now on bbc news it's

time for sportsday. good evening and welcome on a special day for manchester city fans because this is the scene in the centre of manchester, more than 100,000 have packed the streets as the players parade their premier league trophy. now that the premier league trophy. now that the premier league season is over. i'm ben mundy and i'll have the rest of the day's sports news including... the violence that's shocked the racing world — racecourse security will be reviewed after another outbreak of fighting at a major course. and could this be the man to clinch a first british motogp world title since the heyday of barry sheene? i'm glad we have the good group of british talent in moto gp classes at

the moment. hello and welcome to sportsday. i'm in the centre of manchester this evening were over 100,000 manchester city fans are expected to shout themselves hoarse. it is ear—splitting loud, the players and manager pep guardiola are on their way to this centraljunction of manchester with the premier league trophy and the league cup of course on board as part of celebrations for a title winning season. the third title in seven years for manchester city and what a record—breaking season city and what a record—breaking seasonit city and what a record—breaking season it has been along the way. best tea m season it has been along the way. best team in the land this season.

manchester city, premier league champions. it has been a lot of talking about the magnificent seven this evening, the magnificent seven this evening, the seven records the arrogant during this title winning season of them including of course the total points, 100 now after they beat southampton yesterday. 32 wins as well in total, and the number of goals, a record now, 106. in fact they have led this season from the very front, they only spent 153 hours out of the top spot and that in itself is a record. but despite that the former england captain alan shearer does not think that they are quite yet the perfect site.

shearer does not think that they are quite yet the perfect sitei shearer does not think that they are quite yet the perfect site. i think it is too early to say the greatest premier league team, i think they have reduced some football but we have reduced some football but we have never witnessed in the premier league before but to be a great team you have got to go on and win successive titles and of course manchester city had not done that in the past. they have a great opportunity to go and do that and as isaid opportunity to go and do that and as i said some of the book produced and the goals are scored, the entertainment they have provided, has been exceptional this season. at times we've witnessed fullbacks playing in midfield, whether through the back or forward the back, playing in midfield, whether through the back orforward the back, all the back orforward the back, all the players have looked very co mforta ble the players have looked very comfortable for the majority of the season and we said about pep guardiola before he arrived that he would not be easy for him. a lot of the time in spain or even germany it was like that but he has proved eve ryo ne was like that but he has proved everyone wrong because it has looked easy frame and when you look at the points difference from themselves to

manchester united in second place, it is incredible. i would not be backing any other team at this moment to win the premier league. i think manchester city have put out a brilliant statement this year and they've said to the rest of the premier league or certainly the 45 eight boys that will try and catch them, catch us if you can, good luck. it will be very difficult and probably daunting for the teams chasing because i'm sure manchester city will go out and spend big on to a three new players. and there will bea a three new players. and there will be a fortune spent from the other clu bs be a fortune spent from the other clubs trying to catch them. the thought of alan shearer and whether it or not you agree there's no arguing that city have been a cut above the rest this season. giving this lot a lot to cheer about. so todayis this lot a lot to cheer about. so today is a chance for all these bands to show the team and the manager at their appreciation and reciprocally as well, the team and the manager have the chance to thank

the manager have the chance to thank the fans for their support as the buses wend their way on a 45 minute journey through the city centre from the museum of football around the albert hall and then back down here to dean skate wear pep guardiola and the players will take the stage and speak to the fans. and then i imagine the party baby will start. more on those celebrations a bit later on. well there could be some managerial changes on the cards. joining us to discuss all of that is former everton and england midifelder leon 0sman. we start with everton. he set out to keep them in the premier league, but some not happy. i think someone is

being generous. sam was brought on to do being generous. sam was brought on todoa being generous. sam was brought on to doajob, being generous. sam was brought on to do a job, he has done that and been successful in that. he kept everton in the premier league and also top half finish. but for a large number of evertonians, the majority, you would probably say the standard of football and the excitement and amount of times that they have been able to get out of their seats to support their team and really feel they have been to watch an everton game, they have been few and far between and that has been disappointing as far as this season, this managerial run for sam allardyce, this season, this managerial run for sam alla rdyce, is this season, this managerial run for sam allardyce, is concerned. he is meeting with the honours this week, what will they be discussing? he will want security, that he is still in with a job going forward and they will want to know that things will improve and the standards will get better. that the foot wall the fans are asking for is possible. whether

thatis are asking for is possible. whether that is allowed to be the case, whether he will still be there come the start of next season time will tell because when you have such a large number of fans voicing their opinion it can be hard to ignore. let's move on to west ham. let's move on to them, because uncertainty over david moyes, a man you played under. his contract‘s up and he's meeting the owners this week. will he want to stay? i think against security is what he wa nts i think against security is what he wants and to show ambition notjust to avoid relegation every year as seems to have happened to west ham more often than not but certainly cementing a place in the top half of the table and moving on from there. david moyes is in his premier league career and he has had more top than anything else for that he to west ham with his reputation on the line. he did thejob he was ham with his reputation on the line. he did the job he was asked to do and kept west ham in the premier league. he should walk away with his

chest out. i wanted to get your thoughts on antonio conte. he took the blame as chelsea missed out on a champions league place. pictures of him with his arms folded and looking disinterested. will he stay at chelsea but at it is not looking likely, for a lot of this season so looking likely, for a lot of this season so far and probably from the very start in the charity shield, he has been far from very start in the charity shield, he has been farfrom happy, he has been complaining. that excitement we've seen complaining. that excitement we've seen up and down the touchline slices and has not been there and he does not seem to be enjoying his job. and putting all that together i think we will be hard—pressed to see him there for chelsea next season. thank you very much. before we move on, we just wanted to share with you a really nice moment from liverpool's game with brighton yesterday.

you might have seen this on social media today... like most teams, the liverpool players did a lap of honour after the match at anfield. and while many had theirfamilies with them, trent alexander—arnold made a young fan's dreams come true. he tweeted after: me and my best mate louis...so proud of him. the defender‘s apparently got to know the 8 year—old, who's got cerebral palsy, over the past few months after meeting him back in september. so he invited him onto the pitch to enjoy this moment. this is sportsday from the bbc sport centre, still to come on the programme. it's a historic test century for kevin 0'brien as he leads ireland's fighback on day four of their first—ever test match, againt pakistan. and could britain's long wait for a motogp world title soon be over... cal crutchlow hopes so. hello and welcome back to manchester city centre where in about 15 minutes manchester city premier league winning team will make their

way onto the stage behind me to celebrate with fans after a record rating season. i'm joined by manchester city legend mike sotheby. i spoke to you midway through the season and it was freezing cold and we spoke about what this team could possibly want to achieve. have they lived up to your expectations?” cuddled up to you like that! what did you make of their season? fantastic. the football has been unbelievable. they all know what to do, and they're all good lads. pep guardiola timmy is a magician, what he have done is unbelievable. you have heard it all before but he has been amazing and they are a great bunch of lads. the backroom staff are great bunch of lads but they've played amazing football. and just to watch them play every week, the

grounds that i've travelled to and seen grounds that i've travelled to and seen the opposition fans staying behind to clap the team off the field, it happens all the time, amazing. do you think this is the start of the period of dominance now for manchester city in the premier league? i think we will see and hear at now and that is unbelievable. 0ther at now and that is unbelievable. other teams will try and play the way we do but you have to have that magic touch and pep guardiola has that. and all the backroom staff, amazing. i watch them train most days and i've travelled with them, amazing to watch them play and the camaraderie amongst everyone, the whole staff, is something very special. there has been a bit of a fallow period in the premier league, did you ever dream in your wildest dreams that they would be the dominant force in english football ain? dominant force in english football again? when i came to manchester

united we had the dominant force in that particular year and this is a great club. people do not realise how great it is. i think it is probably the best run football club in the world. i knew that one day we would reach these heights but this is not the limit butjust the start ofa is not the limit butjust the start of a great era. and pep guardiola is the one behind it. the great inspiration. you have to have a magician and he is a magician. thank you so much forjoining us. we will let you go and join in the celebrations. so just about 15 minutes out of the team make their way round the corner on those three of the top buses. the premier league trophy and the league cup being shown off the crowds here and i will be back just before shown off the crowds here and i will be backjust before the end of the programme. the head of the british racecourse association has told the bbc courses might need to bolster security to deter anti—social behaviour. it follows another weekend of violence at the racing — this time at ascot.

last week there was a large—scale fight at goodwood, in which one man was kicked in the head in front of race—goers. our sports correspondent richard conway has more... here at windsor racegoers have been arriving for an evening meeting, the first race just about to get under way and for those arriving here they have been saying in terms of islands it is not really a concern and that reflects the message from the horse racing authorities and they say 6 million people go racing every year and for the majority it is a great day out and a great experience for that nevertheless the things that we are tied at ascot last weekend and at goodwood the weekend before have been disturbing, they have been the kind of images no one wants to see within racing and the cause behind that, that is the subject of much debate. but the british horse racing authority as saying they will look later this year when they come to licensing of racecourses at issues

such as the use and sale of alcohol. they will look at security measures, either enough visible security officers on duty. and do they have the right numbers. 0ne officers on duty. and do they have the right numbers. one of those things now being discussed because the horse racing authorities want to make sure that people feel safe in camp racing and did not think that they will see fighting. that is not what the sport wants to project and they will now try to work hard to make sure that the image is not damaged further by the kind of things that we have seen on consecutive weekends. ireland's cricketers have enjoyed their second spell with the bat against pakistan in theirfirst international test match. following on, ireland were reduced to 95 for 4 at one stage, with mohammad amir the pick of the bowlers for pakistan. stuart thompson and kevin 0'brien then put on a partnership of 113 to steady the ireland innings, with thompson bringing up his 50 with a boundary. but the day belonged to kevein 0'brien, who scored a historic century — ireland's first—ever in test cricket, taking ireland's lead to over 100 by stumps on day four.

young people are just not attracted to cricket. those the words from the head of the england and wales cricket board today. colin graves has given the strongest indication yet today that the controversial new hundred format will stay as it is. he's told the bbc that the 100—ball format will definitely start in 2020, despite widespread cricitism from some players and administrators. as far as we are concerned and the ecb board is concerned, the new competition board is in place to virtually launched this tournament so we virtually launched this tournament so we will build it, we will work with the players and work with the pca because we want them to be involved with the other things, players point of view, this is bringing an extra £8 million worth of salaries into county cricketers. that is basically what the new tournament will generate. 0k, we'll be back with kat at the manchester city parade before the end of sportsday, but let's take a look at some of the day's other headlines.

british number one johanna konta is through to the second round of the italian 0pen. she enjoyed a straight sets win over magdalena rybarikovaa in rome. konta won 6—4, 6—3 for her second victory against the slovakian in the last eight days. meanwhile fellow british number one kyle edmund is into his first round match against tunisia's malekjaziri at at the rome masters. he leads by 3 games to 2 in the first set of that match. and wasps' danny cipriani has signed for premiership rivals gloucester. the fly—half has opted to stay in england to remain eligible for international selection. he was recently recalled to the england squad after a three—year absence. there once was a time when british racers dominated motorcycle grand prix racing, but it's been 41 years since britain had a world champion. one man is hoping to change that — coventry rider cal crutchlow, who rides for lcr honda in motogp. 0ur reporter azi farni's been to meet him. if isa if is a long time since british

riders had any real success in motorcycle grand prix racing, 1977 was the last of the late great harry sheen and his world title is but one man has been working hard to step out of his long shadow. over the yea rs out of his long shadow. over the years it has been a long time in moto gp that british riders are not a lwa ys moto gp that british riders are not always there at the front end of the championship but i'm glad we have a good group of the huge talent and riders in the moto gp passes at the moment. it was nice to be that one to be able to lead a world title. cal crutchlow, his first race victory in the czech republic in 2016 mbit a 35 year wait for a british win. this date in argentina last month in the first written to lead the world championship since barry sheene in 1979. he did not have much time to savour that success come to clashes in his next races have seen him dropped to seventh. i do not think there was pressure from the team, from honda and the british public, for myself, it was just as it was and i think we

have to take the positives from it that we were leading the championship and had a good brand so far this season. we still have a lot of races to go. with his three race wins he is the most successful british rider in grand prix racing since barry sheene. but he says that comparisons to the two times world champion are unfair. to be spoken of in the same sentence as harry sheen is an honour that he had a lot more races and championships than me and he was on a completely different level. but we are trying to make it back to that. the legacy of barry sheene weighs heavily on old british riders in moto gp that there's one thing that cal crutchlow can still achieve that even the great barry sheene could not, winning the british grand prix here at silverstone. i've had a love hate relationship with silverstone, my first grand prix i never even raced i was first grand prix i never even raced iwas in first grand prix i never even raced i was in hospital with a broken collarbone. i was on the podium in

2016, i was fourth in 2017 so you have to think it will turn around and hopefully we can win one. having wed in three different bikes in moto gp cal crutchlow seems to finally form —— finally found his form on the honda. maybe the long wait could soon the honda. maybe the long wait could soon be over. let's go back now to manchester and the city parade now with katharine. the streets are packed in every direction with manchester city fans. the flags are flying and we are just a few minutes away from pep guardiola and the team taking to the stage to parade the premier league trophy and the cup of course which they won back in february but that's no fa cup, no champions league title, but what are these it ever been for manchester city nevertheless. 100 points, the new benchmark to beat. 0nce nevertheless. 100 points, the new benchmark to beat. once the premier league reconvenes in
