the disabled passengers. for chelsea, it was a day to remember after a season to forget. the pressure was all on chelsea's manager antonio conte, his star player eden hazard did his best to lift the burden. oh, it's a penalty! philjones saw yellow for this tackle, chelsea wanted red. de gea, so often united's saviour, couldn't keep this one out. 1—0 to chelsea! a lacklustre united picked up the pace in the second half, only the offside flag came between alexis sanchez and an equaliser. paul pogba could have taken the game into extra time, but this wayward shot summed up his match. chelsea resilient, organised and victorious. losing finalists last year, their 13th fa cup final was certainly not unlucky for chelsea and for their travelling blue army. natalie pirks, bbc news at wembley. after the match manchrster united jose mourinho said he felt his side deserved to win... i congratulate them
9:32 am
because they won. but i don't think they deserved to win. i congratulate because i am a sportsman and they scored one more goal than us and they get the cup and i think i have two do what myjob asks me to do. i am manchester united's manager and i have to be respectful, not just because they were my previous club, but because they are the opponent that won the cup. but i think we deserved to win, i think we were the best team. history was made in scottish football yesterday celtic beat motherwell in the scottish cup final hampden park — and it means brendan rodgers‘s side are the first scottish club to win all three domestic titles in successive seasons, the so—called "double—treble". i am very lucky to get the chance to manage the club and it's a big thanks to dermott and peter and the board for choosing me to come in.
9:33 am
you can only do your best and the last couple of seasons have been magical, really. i said to the players before the game that this is a chance for you to make your own history. we have had some brilliant achievements, but like i say, to win today it's going to live with you and the family's forever — and the supporters. there was a british one—two on the hardest stage united are expected to be given a licence to play. it is the final day of the women's super league today. the pick of the fixtures include champions chelsea facing liverpool while birmingham city who need to avoid did defeat take on reading who are point behind so all to play for there. there was a british one—two

9:38 am
for now. so now, it's the papers. hello and welcome to the sunday papers. lots of royal wedding coverage as you would expect. with this is the foreign editor of the sunday times and journalist and author sharma herrera. let's have a look then at the front pages. there is really only one story, the kiss story as it is called. harry and meghan leading with the historic picture of the newlyweds. the sunday telegraph. picks up the same image
9:39 am
but from a different angle, capturing the crowds taking their pictures of the couple as they leave the chapel. the high describes the ceremony as ground—breaking. a celebration of black culture are the service. the duke and duchess of sussex as they're now to be known features on the sunday express front page, the sunday times uses a quote from the most reverend michael curry service that there is, power in love. harry ever after is the pun used by the mailfor their post—wedding splash in the observer, carrying a picture of the happy couple, they managed to write about brexit. i think maybe we had forgotten about it for a day. a clea n swee p forgotten about it for a day. a clean sweep of wedding front pages asiam clean sweep of wedding front pages as i am sure you would expect.
9:40 am
inside, pages of coverage. we're not going to talk about brexit for once. let us start off. what did you make of the day? extraordinary. every adjective has been used to describe it so when you come on air, did anything go wrong? no, it all went perfectly. and the sun shone. we have a term in our house, the term biracial, which suggested hint of a tint, obama was never called biracial, so why is meghan referred to as that by the commentators. they use the old—fashioned term of mixed race because it is almost by saying she's a bit white because she's all right to the royal family and that's interesting thing when we're talking
9:41 am
about diversity and are pulling together of communities through this marriage is the vocabulary that we will use as they go forward. i think biracial is a really strange term. we'll pick up on those themes in a minute but let's put you on the spot and talk about the dress. you threatened me that you are going to do that. this is terrible. some detailed analysis of you will. sun on sunday, pages four and five. it was pretty spectacular. all i can say about it was that it had a very long train. the sun gives me all the information i need here, thankfully. 16 foot train. designed by givenchy but she wasn't wearing a foreign designer because they had of givenchy is clare waight keller. simple asi
9:42 am
givenchy is clare waight keller. simple as i can tell. as simple as any dress with a 16 foot train can be. it was a traditional dress and she wasn't trying to turn herself into a fashion icon. she wasn't upstaging, coaches upstaging people, she was the bride but...|j upstaging, coaches upstaging people, she was the bride but... i agree with you. i think what she was saying was that she was wearing a very nice dress but it's not about the dress, is that me and our wedding because normally, pages and pages are going on about the actual designer and what went on behind—the—scenes but only the sun has given it this very specific breakdown and i thought what was lovely was that it wasn't showy, it wasn't anything really, it was just elegant and she looked fantastic. way you looked was her face and i thought it was clever. harry said that she looked amazing, which was
9:43 am
rather sweet. because of the lip readers we've got things that he apparently said. as a woman, i thought, why didn't somebody get the page boys to lay that train out properly at the back seat to seal the embroidery? they did it in a bit ofa the embroidery? they did it in a bit of a rush and if you looked at them in the church that fail had turned in on itself so it wasn't showing it off to its best. the embroidery was very important because it had elements that represented all of the countries of the commonwealth. u2 are so unromantic. “— countries of the commonwealth. u2 are so unromantic. —— you two are so unromantic. this is a nice picture because it shows the crowds and the case. talk to is peter, what you
9:44 am
think meghan brings to the monarchy? a lot of people have said that she isa a lot of people have said that she is a breath of fresh air and will modernise the monarchy. is that how you see it? i think one has to be cautious because that is what people said about diana and we see how the great battle but that turned into. adding the very fact of her background, be it biracial, mixed race, however background, be it biracial, mixed race , however one background, be it biracial, mixed race, however one wants to describe her, that is the first for the british monarchy. the fact that she's american with the exception of wallis simpson, the first american to marry into the firm. there is an awful lot of symbolism attached to herand her awful lot of symbolism attached to her and her background but it will be very interesting to see how she plays the role because she may have all sorts of ideas about things but
9:45 am
then the palace will have very certain ideas and she will have two operate in tight constraints. she seems to be ready to embrace this role and is not a reluctant princess. i suspect that they will recede as a couple and do lots of stuff behind the scenes. she has a very active portfolio of charitable and political interests, some of which will have toned down and he has always been very active with military charities and youth charities so imagine what they will become is they will become a bill and melinda gates of royalty were they do a lot behind—the—scenes but not drawing attention to themselves necessarily. i thought what was very interesting is, i do know how much harry winston paid for that add... we don't show adverts on the bbc. they must've paid through the nose
9:46 am
for it. otherjewellery is available. there is power in love, quoting the bishop, bishop michael curry. what you make of the sermon? controversial on social media. a lot of people have absolutely loved it and some people thought it was too long. what did you think?m and some people thought it was too long. what did you think? it was extraordinary. with everything going smoothly and according to plan that was the one thing that surprised everyone. courtesy of the sun we heard that used the word love 68 times. the whole thing went on for 13 minutes and 34 seconds. it seemed to go on for a lot longer. is that partly because you weren't expecting something like that? is nice to have surprises. everything else was so
9:47 am
far so royal wedding and that was just extraordinary. the way that metaphor got extended and the comparison of fire and love got extended and stretched and stretched until you thought you couldn't stretch it any further. i think it was fun and will be remembered. stretch it any further. i think it was fun and will be rememberedm cause lots of hilarity in my house. we started loving it and then it just went on and on. we had a very youthful cohort and on. we had a very youthful cohort in our front i’ooiti. very youthful cohort in our front room. they were just busting their guts laughing and treating it and yet at the same time, loving it. simply because it was seeing the royals faces. sara phillips looked like she wants to run out of the church and eugenie and beatrice could barely contain their giggles. when you said about the honorary degrees, her face wasjust a picture. with the sound bite
9:48 am
generation, we can't handle speeches all sermons that are more than three 01’ all sermons that are more than three orfour minutes all sermons that are more than three or four minutes long? there had been fio or four minutes long? there had been no heads up to say that this was the sermon so we no heads up to say that this was the sermon so we thought he was just coming on to a blessing or something like that and any started talking and went on and on sol like that and any started talking and went on and on so i think actually it's a lesson for the next royal wedding which is give some understanding of what is coming and what it means. i thought the juxtaposition of that very african—american tradition with the very, very british royal tradition of the choral music, i thought that brought together, that summed up how these two worlds are coming together. pictures of him in full flow in the telegraph. very
9:49 am
charismatic and totally gripping. he was so charismatic and totally gripping. he was so active. that was the other thing, you're not used to someone who was bouncing around in all directions but it was like a piece of music, wasn't it? the alternative, a traditional church of england sermon, we wouldn't be talking about it, would we? and the gospel choir as well, i thought i was the highlight an absolutely amazing. i thought the cellist was amazing. i thought the cellist was amazing but after watching four hours of bbc or maybe six hours, we turned to sky and there was an ad to his new album, which i thought was a bit previous really it was too soon after the wedding. did you turn back to the bbc? know we just couldn't believe that he was advertising his
9:50 am
album so soon after the wedding and we thought it was precocious. album so soon after the wedding and we thought it was precociousm album so soon after the wedding and we thought it was precocious. it was a different kind of wedding. intimate in a sense although obviously millions of people watching and it was a royal wedding but didn't parts feel like a family wedding orami but didn't parts feel like a family wedding or am i wrong?|j but didn't parts feel like a family wedding or am i wrong? i don't know. to me it'sjust felt like a very, very well organised splendid spectacle of the sort that the royals do so brilliantly. i'm not sure i agree with that. i thought it did have a family feel. i thought it was much younger. having been an avid royal wedding watchers since the days of di and charles, i thought that the crowd was so much younger than usual and it was certainly loads of twentysomethings that came round to watch it. there is something about this wedding that makes people feel that they have got
9:51 am
a stake in it, much more than the others that will pump and spectacle only. i think you can have your own views. another look at the sunday times. coverage goes well into all the newspapers. blown away by the windy city preachers says your paper. did you write that? no, i wish i had. talking up the contrast that i said earlier between these two worlds which were brought together and you went from ancient choral music to gospel and then back again. encapsulated in the pictures as well. claudia winkleman says that the train was longer than the street
9:52 am
andl the train was longer than the street and i am assuming that that was her drive. the shortest cul—de—sac in london i'm assuming. the pomp and pageantry was fantastic, the degree because i think the chapel is so much prettier than the big cathedrals. it felt much more intimate. the colours in that chapel are just beautiful. it is not dwarfing, it is energising. having it in windsor instead of london, the carriage ride through the great park that made for tremendous television pictures. not just that made for tremendous television pictures. notjust a pageant but also a celebration of blackness. i suppose that's what we've been talking about... that is the first
9:53 am
time you come to me first sol talking about... that is the first time you come to me first so i think lam the time you come to me first so i think i am the celebration of blackness in your studio. i think the word blackness is very important. it doesn't matter whether she is mixed race or black or white but because the press is without a problem with it and that was the point was making right at the beginning about: her biracial, it was as if to say, remembershe isa biracial, it was as if to say, remember she is a bit white, whereas obama and other people would just because black whilst they are as white as meghan markle and i think is really important to try and get again that vocabulary right. a person with a different route but she is as american as harry is english. it's as if she has some extra factor but perhaps not a positive one because she's not the same colour. i think we really need to think about that and i think it
9:54 am
was a celebration of blackness. i is particularly uplifted by the bbc cove rage particularly uplifted by the bbc coverage in two hours that i was watching it before the actual ceremony where they had people like george the poet and people like the radio station brixton who all have that animation and active vocabulary that animation and active vocabulary that you don't often see on screen, but it cannot in news coverage and it was so intelligent and interesting and you just thought, why don't we hear these voices more often on the bbc actually? as a celebration of blackness, please let us celebration of blackness, please let us all continue celebrating blackness, it is to put it alongside as another celebration. it's great for the royal family to be able to demonstrate this kind of inclusive nature and by and by its not
9:55 am
inclusive, it's elitist but to have her there inclusive, it's elitist but to have herthere and i'm inclusive, it's elitist but to have her there and i'm sure inclusive, it's elitist but to have herthere and i'm sure it'll inclusive, it's elitist but to have her there and i'm sure it'll be tremendously important as part far as the commonwealth as concerned as well. bring is notjust black culture but also american culture and she is an american first and foremost and i think is also going to bring interesting aliment and different attitudes. thank you both very much indeed. don't forget, you can see the front pages of the papers online on our website that is all their fee you seven days a week. if you missed the programme you can a lwa ys if you missed the programme you can always catch it online but thank you both forjoining us all. goodbye.
