but we begin in kiev, where in 15 minutes time liverpool face real madrid in the champions league final as they look to win the european cup for the sixth time in the club's history. jordan henderson can becomejust the fifth liverpool captain to lift the european cup following in the footsteps of emlyn hughes, phil thompson, graeme souness and steven gerrard. but as far as famous faces go, it's hard to look beyond mo salah and cristiano ronaldo who could both have the defining say in the destination of the trophy later. hugh woozencroft is in kiev. and hugh you have tonight's team news. indeed. you join me in a far acquired or part of town now because

eve ryo ne acquired or part of town now because everyone has filled inside the olympic stadium just before kick—off waiting for a glimpse of what could bea waiting for a glimpse of what could be a classic match and the teams are now out for liverpool and as we expect the only? for them —— the only question for them as if he can shake off an injury. the midfielder is on the bench and has not played since september, and that may be a surprise for fans of liverpool. he may have an impact towards the end of the game especially if milner has not shaken off the injury. a big question of real madrid's starting 11, question of real madrid's starting ii, whether garrett bell would lead the line alongside cristiano ronaldo. —— gareth bale. he has picked the same starting 11 that won the champions league final in cardiff last year, beating juventus 4-1. a cardiff last year, beating juventus 4—1. a good sign for them and the experience does live for them in the competition and it lines up and

shows thatjurgen klopp‘s liverpool tea m shows thatjurgen klopp‘s liverpool team will do something special to beat them. he has been an underdog inafinal beat them. he has been an underdog in a final before, in 2013, when he took dortmund up against beard german rivals. that night it was not to be for his team. —— up against their german rivals. they have been warming up in the stadium behind me and though it is quiet out here, we we re and though it is quiet out here, we were treated to a rousing bit of the song from liverpool fans, you will never walk alone belted out across the kiev skies and all waiting for a glimpse of their team in a few moments when the match begins. jurgen klopp looking for a slice of redemption after defeat by munich in the champions final. after the game i knew that i wanted to have this opportunity again. it took a wild. but now i am here because my boys gave me that chance again and i am

very happy being here with this group of players, they fought so unbelievably hard for this and i think they deserve it to be here and lam think they deserve it to be here and i am proud of them already. now, let's play football. many of the liverpool fans we spoke to here and kiev, backing their team. liverpool fans we spoke to here and kiev, backing theirteam. strongly many thinking they are currently the best tea m many thinking they are currently the best team in europe and that view is shared by the former defender who won a european cup with liverpool in 1984. in all honesty, with no bias, they have been the best team in the competition because they ripped teams apart. we saw with roma and manchester city and if you look about and madrid against others, could have easily gone out and you bent as they could have gone out, but they got there. that a thing about managing the games, and getting over the line. that is the only worry about the fixture, i

think liverpool are on a upward trend and it would be fantastic if they did when but it would not be they did when but it would not be the end of the world and they are already planning for the next season and getting better. the appointment of the manager was a massive stroke by the american. am not sure many liverpool fans who spent thousands of hounds to get here, would not think it the end of the world if they do not be real madrid, quiet confidence but very vocal about it. why are they so confident? is it mo salah and the incredible form of 45 goals or their manager, jurgen klopp? jurgen klopp is a legend, the way they approach every game and did for tat and they are looking to end 4-2. jurgen klopp has turned things around and with liverpool, he is building here in building for the future and we are hoping this will

be, we canjump from this and progress in the premiership. and further champions league finals. . so we are on the verge of what could bea so we are on the verge of what could be a classic champions league. the front three, were going up against some fantastic players of real madrid and all the pedigree and of course cristiano ronaldo who has surpassed in the season mo salah's beat by a scoring 50 goals of his own and he will be looking for what would be an incredible bit champions league title. he has one the worlds best player. will need dictate where it goes tonight? you cannot watch it on bbc by radio. all the live text commentary you can follow on the bbc sport website, and all set up to be a fantastic match, can liverpool when the next cup, we will find out

shortly indeed. mouthwatering and thank you. always getting exciting now. five minutes ago until kick—off and the atmosphere is building in liverpool as well of the moment. we are seeing videos of the fans as well. stay with us for a moment. fulham have won promotion to the premier league after beating aston villa in today's play off final at wembley. it's a match they call the most lucrative in football with the winners in line for around £280 million. the london club, who missed out on automatic promotion on the last day of the season were i—0 winners, tom cairney‘s first half goal enough to see the london club return to the top flight after a four year absence. joe lynskey reports. in english football, no match has higher sticks. be the man to land promotion, you earn a place in club royalty. the weight has been too long and the first steps back to the

top were taken by the londoners. a finished set up by their teenager, and with skills to unlock the door and with skills to unlock the door and release the tension. villa waited for the second half to launch their onslaught and manager steve bruce was going for a record fifth promotion and pin their hopes on the beat of jack and the twists and turns, the goal was stopped. off for a second yellow. villa has a few seconds to make that count and the clock turns too quickly. they ran out of chances and hope. folau merger into the top after four years away but after the fireworks comes the premier league spotlight and the ha rd the premier league spotlight and the hard work towards your. —— fulham into the top. chris froome is set to become the first british man to win the giro d'italia after another stunning ride on today's penultimate stage. simon yates had been the man in the lead for most of the race, but froome's incredible breakaway yesterday saw him seize

the lead from the brit, and a strong finish today means he just needs to safely negotiate the largley processional final stage in rome tomorrow and victory is his. drew savage teports. this is the moment when he knew he all but one. he will be the first british winner. the big celebrations will come after the sunday's ceremonial stage in rome but for now time to congratulate the team. we've seen this so often at the tour de france, froome, secure in the leader's jersey, protected by his team—mates but it's the first time we've seen it in the italian mountains. the briton‘s heroics yesterday meant tom dumoulin had to gain 40 seconds if he wanted to win the maglia rosa but he found the man wearing it stuck to his wheel. the dutchman did everything he could to try and get ahead but after spending over a fortnight looking out of the running, froome was in complete control,

crossing the line with a 46 second advantage. his unresolved anti—doping case mean there are still plenty of questions for froome, but he's won grand tours in france and spain. italy will be three in a row and that's something to celebrate. and tim hague is there. good evening to you, this is an and credible race we witnessed early on. it was not only chris fram, he wasn't nearly the briton who took the title. no, absolutely. simon yates led for 13 stages until on friday chris fram, as mentioned in the report, destroyed the field. 80 km from the end, leaving everyone behind including simon yates to finish that particular stage happy 38 minutes behind chris fram. that is unheard of at the elite level in the ground towards —— grand tors.

only ioist, chris froome will become the first british man to win it. over a century in britain has never had a winner. he is the reigning tour de france champion, four—time winner there and the reigning spanish winner. three grantors at the same time and becomes the third man in history to do that. he will do that here tomorrow afternoon and if we can to my rate we will see where he will do that as well. they are all set up for the finale, the final stage of three weeks worth of writing. a pretty easy one tomorrow, to be honest. a few loops of the city of rome, beautiful this evening. and 115 km, effectively a processional win for chris froome. 46 seconds ahead, no one is going to overta ke 46 seconds ahead, no one is going to overtake them. he will win the title

tomorrow and will be the holder of all three of cycling's grand tors. he is doffing his cap there to chris from there. it is so disappointing, we we re from there. it is so disappointing, we were talking bout him in the last few days, becoming the first brick to win this race and then he sleeps in there and wins the title. it must be when you have not one but two rugby union finals being stage this weekend. the newly crowned european champions leinster in action in the pro 14 final but at twickenham, it's saracens who came out on top 27—10 against the reigning champions exeter. chrisjones was watching. a few months ago saracens looked to be in the doldrums. they went from a losing streak at the beginning of the year and got knocked out of the quarterfinal stage. like the champions they are they rallied and

produced one of the best performances of the season on the biggest stage of all. here's the story of the games. saracens a third in the rose. top two teams in england but who will be number one. the chiefs had their number in recent meetings but started stronger. tab nine tenths of the early possession when saracens started to lay down the law. did not stop them from there. they made trite number two for the retiring chris wiles. he addedin for the retiring chris wiles. he added in the second score and the saracens could start to plan the farewell party. exeter were not quite done yet and givings —— giving some hope. sealing the win in the closing seconds. record equalling

worth premiership title and saracens restored to their position as the dominant force in english rugby. elsewhere, in the proi4 final, defending champions scarlets are trailing european champions leinster, who are aiming to seal a historic double at the aviva stadium in dublin. lei nster leinster need 40—18 in the second half. james lowe put them ahead in the first top. another try from sean cronin after the restart has put leinster in the driving seat, with about 10 minutes to play in the final. what a season and has been for leinster. in rugby league, one match today catalan dragons beat leeds rhinos 33 points to 20, the dragons second from bottom in superleague. rhinos sit 6th. still to come in the programme... we'll have the latest from lords as england battle to avoid an innings defeat to pakistan.

—— we will have the latest from the monaco grand prix. and if you dont know your ollies from your nollies or your flips from your fakies. we've got it all covered as the street league skateboarding world tour rolls in to london. mike bushel has been giving it a go. before we get to always and the keys, let's get a look at other sports stories around today. after early frustrations on the course, rory mcilroy will head into the final day of the pga championship at wentworth as joint leader. he finished with a birdie on the 18th hole to take him level with francesco molinari, they are on 13 under par. four shots ahead of england's sam horsfield. in the irish 2000 guineas, romanised clinched a surprise win. the 25—to—i shot sealed victory forjockey shane foley and trainer ken condan at the curragh, beating aidan o'brien—trained us navy flag by two and a quarter lengths. despite failing to make the required weight, darren till‘s ufc welterweight contest against american stephen thompson will go ahead tomorrow night.

the liverpudlian‘s till‘s clash against american thompson headlines on sunday as liverpool's echo arena hosts the first ufc event ever to be held in the city. there will be coverage on bbc radio 5live. it's been another tough day for england's cricketers who at one stage were looking at possible defeat inside three days in the first test with pakistan at lords. they surrendered wickets cheaply in their second innings and onlyjust managed to move past pakistan's first innings total thanks to half centuries from debutant dom bess and joss butler to lead by 56 runs. defeat though surely looms at lords. as patrick geaarey reports. some things take time and technique like test match batting especially when you are 179 runs behind at the match. alastair cook estate master

but got a cork lbw no question. everything is in doubt and even the bounds of the ball cannot be trusted, out, for some time. nearly 158 behind, joe root was batting against the tide in for a time england's captain picked out a calm her patch but those precious peaceful moments could not last. pakistan awoke. two balls later, the wicket ofjonny bairstow set him off the game. not all the bullying needed to be so good. england's most powerful batsman out for nine, symbolic. pakistani heroes came from everywhere. stitched up lbw for 68. batsman who has been new to this tea m batsman who has been new to this team he has become a specialist but he showed his slow burning side and

whittle down the pakistan lead with don bass who was on his debut and did not properly visit landed until last year. a test 50 needs most souvenirs and something to cling to like the small english league, unlikely to be enough but it is all they have. we are hoping we will have a better summary we are hoping we will have a better summary thana we are hoping we will have a better summary than a winter for a england's cricketers. it does not look that way, does they? moving onto formula 1. and daniel ricciardo produced a dominating qualifying performance to secure pole position at the monaco grand prix, his first in two years. it's been an impressive display from the red bull driver this weekend as he saw off ferrari's sebastian vettel with a record breaking lap in monte carlo. jennie gow was there. well, daniel ricardo is the old man for the monaco grand prix and has only done it once before for his career and that was in 2016. he was robbed of the win and his team not

ready for the pit stop with the correct tires and it went away from him and next time it will not be the wet conditions we saw two years ago. it will be gorgeous, bright blue skies and he will be hoping to but the ghost of 2016 well and truly to breast. the next best in the for robbery and then just behind them will be lewis hamilton who is third in his mercedes. they have gone from the heights of spain where they dominated everything to the reality of monaco and eight tight, twisty circuit and could not compete with them. the big story apart from everything, max to did not take part in qualifying, a big crash in the final practise session ruled him out. the team will fix the car and he will take part in the race but starting from last, you will have a very big challenge if he could even make the top ten let alone a podium. bittersweet therefore red bull.

daniel ricardo and the driving seat is difficult to overtake and monaco. now it's fair to say skateboarding is enjoying something of a moment in the spotlight. once confined to streets and parks, it's soon to be introduced into the olympic programme for the first time in 2020. no coincidence perhaps then that both london and rio, both former host cities of the olympics, have been added to the street league skateboarding world tour for the first time. this weekend sees the first leg at the copper box arena and our reporter mike bushell has been finding out what we can expect. the greatest skateboarding road show on earth has finally arrived in the uk and this is what the crowd packed the boxes can expect this weekend, the boxes can expect this weekend, the skateboarding basks in the glory of becoming an olympic sport. a team of becoming an olympic sport. a team of 40 flown in from the usa are spending three days getting the copper box transformed into this world cup skateboarding venues. with

its debut in the olympics in two yea rs' its debut in the olympics in two years' time, it seems fitting the first time it comes to the uk it has been held in a former olympic venues. one of the stars of the show will be the first woman to win the world title. she has come a long way since she started skateboarding on the streets of brazil at age nine. you get the little feeling of the olympics. the olympics are going to be in two yea rs olympics are going to be in two years so olympics are going to be in two years so it is good to have little feeling. certainly it is the most important event we haven't skateboarding rainout. what i love about it is the freedom. every contest feels like my first contest. i really nervous. not as nervous as those getting back on the board for the first time in quite a while and even when learning from one of britain's best. i have the pads and helmet, you don't need him but i do. the board at her feet. let you just

wa nt to ta ke the board at her feet. let you just want to take a push. bended knees? a rise of the street skateboarding is assessed ability and as long as you are saved, have a ground or hell, then you can do it anywhere and it gives you the ultimate freedom. —— ground or he'll. i like street league because it is street style skating, it has rails, stairs and ledges, that kind of thing. the first trick you really need for skating is to just do and always. then you can all eat up curves for doa then you can all eat up curves for do a kick flip. so yeah, you need a ollie. how does the board stay with your feet and mine just...

ollie. how does the board stay with your feet and mine just. .. basically when you try to do a ollie, you jump up when you try to do a ollie, you jump up and pressed the back which lives it up and what the front foot you slide it though then it pulls the back—up. my favourite trip is switched hill flips which feel good. it can take years to master the tricks and please don't try this at home without i dance and full protective gear. things to the olympics that is, there will be nine street league events across the world this year, to show how far this sport has come. the professionals make it look so easy, and how do you think you will fare? i'd probably be the worst skateboarder in the world, no coolness there. the lower centre of gravity, is that the secret? gives everything a go. if you want to see more of the street league's opening ofan more of the street league's opening of an round the copper box, on the

bbc red button and bbc sport online. it's the women's final at 7.:0 this evening, and tomorrow the men's final. and all eyes on kiev where it's ten minutes gone inside the first half with liverpool versus real madrid. they look to when these six european cup in their history. even manchester united fans are watching. have been prevented. that's all from sportsday. we will be back later. for now, goodbye. hello once again i am trained to keep my head on the meteorology close to home but my heart is over in kiev. thinking about the weather here because it could get quite

sparky and it is showing signs of that way across some of the southern counties of england and i will show you a zone that is at risk we think of seeing some of these heavy downpours and thunderstorms, they are coming in from across the channel and more on that in a second. this is the sort of area that we think is at risk of seeing these heavy downpours and thunderstorms in the small hours. date go on to wales in west midlands and further north of no concerns about such things and although you're on the move, watch out for mist and fog coming out to the north sea and filling up central belt at times overnight. i —— really muggy fair, and no lower than 15 or 16 degrees. and there is this perhaps increasing risk of seeing thunderstorms break out anywhere really from about the far southwest up towards the southeast and then through the midlands, wales and then through the midlands, wales and this eastern side of northern ireland. ido

and this eastern side of northern ireland. i do not think you have many issues especially once the mist and fog is gone. temperature may be close to 13 and 14 in the values i am showing you there. the biggest weekend continues at a pace. swansea and coventry, the centres of activity as we get on through sunday and monday. there is still the event going on into coventry. not a wash—out on sunday despite the fact that i am showing you reign there but given the extent of the thunderstorms and showers to catch those, you'll certainly know all about it. the weather is coming at us about it. the weather is coming at us from the continent at the moment, and low—pressure bringing the thunderstorms towards the british isles as you can see and also important is a bit of heat. the continent is quite warm at the moment especially the western extremity picking up of the flow from northern parts of africa. bank holiday monday, and no means a write up holiday monday, and no means a write up at all. there will be decent sunny spells and one or two showers and we may ramp it up to finish off

the day of cross east anglia in the southeast. many of you will see the temperatures well on into the up teens if not the mid—20s or so and the onshore breeze and a bit of mist and fog for some. see you. this is bbc news. the headlines at 8pm: victory for the yes campaign in the republic of ireland — as voters reject strict abortion laws in a landmark referendum. majority of votes in favour of the proposal, 700 6000. this is a historic day for ireland. a quiet revolution has taken place. getting to know you — the leaders of north and south korea

meet in the demilitarised border area between the two countries. and a scheme to protect interpreters who helped british troops in afghanistan is deemed a "dismalfailure" by a group of mps also in the next hour... fulham are back in the premier league.
