the dmc with four hours notice which we have now seen pictures of, where they both agreed that the singapore meeting with president trump should go ahead. it shows just how almost desperate kim jong—un appears to beat keep this diplomacy going. now, as you say, we have heard in the last few hours from president trump that it all looks good. in fact, pa rt that it all looks good. in fact, part of his statement was, we're looking atjune i2 part of his statement was, we're looking atjune 12 in singapore, that hasn't changed, well, it had changed because he sent a letter calling it. now apparently the us president things it will go ahead. if it does go ahead, the reason is that all three of these men, kim jong—un, president moon here in seoul, and president trump, for their own particular reasons, or wa nt their own particular reasons, or want this summit is to happen. their own particular reasons, or want this summit is to happenlj their own particular reasons, or want this summit is to happen. i can understand your reticence, rupert, about being certain or not, as to whether or not it is likely to go ahead. thank you, rupert wingfield—hayes, live from seoul. liverpool fans have been left dreaming of what could have been after losing to real madrid 3—1. and it's a story that dominates most of the back pages this morning. richard has been taking a look.

what a night it has been. extraordinary, really. not the night we hoped for. you mentioned the back pages. some of the front pages as well, this is the front of the sunday telegraph, heartbreak for liverpool, gareth bale's wonder goals sink champions league dream. the back page of the times, gareth bale on the front, he scored a superb goal. he says, shocker and all. -- superb goal. he says, shocker and all. —— awe. all the back pages covered the disappointment for liverpool. bale force on the back page of the mirror. some terrible m ista kes page of the mirror. some terrible mistakes from goalkeeper loris karius. almost too difficult to watch, really. you almost put your hands over your eyes. a proper schoolboy error. the whole thing was like that. as a human being, i know

he isa like that. as a human being, i know he is a professional and we have to think about, the liverpool fans at home would be thinking, come on, it has a tumour home would be thinking, come on, it hasa tumourand home would be thinking, come on, it has a tumour and being usefulfor him. the mistakes were so awful. the first one that he just throughout, and then karim benzema got his foot to it, you could sort of see that coming. the third goal, gareth bale's second, it went right through his hands. he has made bad mistakes in previous seasons, and this season, but in a champions league final, they were awful stakes. and such a lonely moment for a goalkeeper. there is nobody else you can complain. yes, you watched him, ijust can complain. yes, you watched him, i just wanted to can complain. yes, you watched him, ijust wanted to go give him a hug. but it was the defining factor, really. that first goal, that karim benzema goal, we will talk about gareth bale's billions in a moment, but that was the defining moment, in a way, to give away that goal. he never got it out of his head. gareth bale. let's talk about him. that

overhead bicycle kick, just stunning. astonishing. we will be talking about this for 30 years. it is extraordinary. looking at that picture, it is the defining gravity thing. then it almost looks like a gymnast. the still image highlights the athleticism of it. as you say, it was a superb strike. he had to move backwards, then he had to leap in the air, then because the ball was behind him, iam in the air, then because the ball was behind him, i am talking like i know what i'm on about, but he had to get his foot in a certain position to make it tip over the goalkeeper. some people would say thatis goalkeeper. some people would say that is the best goal they have ever seen. that is the best goal they have ever seen. he out-reynaldoed reynaldo, didn't he? he did. and at the end of it, i hasten to use this phrase, he issued a come and get me plea. that

issued a come and get me plea. that is what gary lineker said. at the end of the game he more or less said, i've got to be playing in every game. and what a performance it was from him. it was really amazing, wasn't it? and it was that most other injury in the first half that was also keeping for liverpool. —— mo salah. that was also keeping for liverpool. -- mo salah. from a footballer's perspective, the equivalent of the estate agent's window, putting yourself out there. let's reflect, we we re yourself out there. let's reflect, we were talking about the fans building up to the game and the excitement in kia. —— kiev. inevitable, a lot of disappointment for liverpool fans. all the way from new zealand, two bad goalkeeping errors like that. heartbreaking. disappointed. we ask ourselves, i guess, heartbreaking. disappointed. we ask ourselves, iguess, if heartbreaking. disappointed. we ask ourselves, i guess, if they have lost their best player after half an hour it might have been a different game. if they kept its salah on it

might have been a different story. absolutely terrible. all of our own making. karius let the first one in, gaveit making. karius let the first one in, gave it away. wouldn't do anything about the second, but the third one, too far out. we were let down by two goalkeeping errors. i know it is a tea m goalkeeping errors. i know it is a team game. but they were devastating errors. they were shopping. we've still gotjurgen klopp, errors. they were shopping. we've still got jurgen klopp, we've errors. they were shopping. we've still gotjurgen klopp, we've got a good team, a good manager. they will probably be a lot of people laughing at karius and laughing at us but we will be back. and it is a long way home if you are going back by minibus, orthe home if you are going back by minibus, or the various adventurous ways that people found they away from merseyside to kiev. if you have not seen those big moments from that game they are well worth catching up on and we will have a full report on that just after 6:30 on and we will have a full report on thatjust after 6:30 a.m. england could get more national parks as part of a review of the country's landscape. the environment secretary, michael gove, said the review would also look at whether to increase the number of areas of outstanding natural beauty. ben ando reports. the cpre are now fighting to great

tra cts the cpre are now fighting to great tracts of lands to be used as national parks. between the wars the battle raged for britain's opens bases the right to roam. there were mass trespassers, arrests, and propaganda films like this. but it wasn't until 1951 that post—war government legislated to create written‘s first national park you in the peak district, a place where auden area people can enjoy the extraordinary beauty of nature, and that would you protected from overzealous developers. over the intervening years others have been added. the lake district, dartmoor, snowdonia in wales, and the cairngorms in scotland. now there are 15 national parks. 70 years on, environment secretary michael gove says it is time fred fresh look at the system. writing in the sunday telegraph, michael gove said a growing population and decline in some habitats could not be ignored, and he is ordering a review, with, he says, the aim of strengthening

protection in the face of present—day challengers. challengers like new housing estates encroaching on the outer edges of national parks, and britain's 3a designated areas of outstanding metal beauty. the government has previously talked about equity by the environment plan and a green brexit. michael gove knows it may be hard to do —— to balance demand for new homes with a desire to protect britain's opens bases, whether green and pleasant or wild and rugged. —— open spaces. rbs has failed to appreciate the impact of its decision to close dozens of branches in scotland, a report by mps has found. the scottish affairs committee described the move as a "devastating blow" for communities affected. it is urging the bank to halt plans to axe up to 62 branches. rbs said the closures were in response to an increase in mobile and online banking. a landslide vote in favour of overturning ireland's abortion ban gives "hope" to northern ireland. that's according to penny mordaunt, the minister for women and equalities.

the referendum result has sparked calls for the issue to be reassessed in northern ireland, where laws are much stricter than the rest of the uk. ireland's prime minister said those who had voted against repeal would be unhappy but that a "quiet revolution" had taken place. for me it is also a day when we say no more. no more to doctors telling their patients that there is nothing can be done for them in their own country. no more lonelyjourneys across the irish sea. no more stigma, as the veil of secrecy is lifted. and no more isolation is the burden of shame is gone. and at 8:10 we'll speak to a dad and daughter divided by the debate. we'll get their views on the changing face of ireland. a 22—year old man has been charged with murder after a teenager was stabbed to death in sheffield on tuesday. ryan jowle, who was 19, was attacked in the woodhouse area. police in the city were given special stop—and—search powers to tackle knife crime after a second teenager was killed on thursday evening.

the names of the first colleges in england that will teach new technical qualifications have been announced by the government. t—levels, designed for 16—year—olds, are intended to be on a par with a levels. but there have been concerns that the courses, some of which will be taught from september 2020, are being brought in too quickly, as caroline davies reports. today the government has announced the new colleges that will teach the new technical qualifications to 16 —year—olds, t—levels. they are more vocational. courses are planned in construction, education and childcare, and finance and accounting. they are meant to be giving industry is what they want. a panel of employers to create what stu d e nts panel of employers to create what students study. the government wants t—levels to be given the same level as an t—levels to be given the same level asana t—levels to be given the same level as an a level, something which could make a huge difference. people

understand a—levels as the route to university but they don't understand there are excellent routes into technical professional qualifications that get people into jobs. so the t—levels will tidy that up jobs. so the t—levels will tidy that up and make it simplerfor people jobs. so the t—levels will tidy that up and make it simpler for people to navigate. some courses are due to start in september 2020 but there are worries that is too soon. the speed of implementation is ambitious to the point of being reckless. i believe if this was a reform to the academic programme it would not be as rushed as this. it feels like politics are being played, possibly with young people's lives. government have said the world economy is changing fast and this convocation will help young people that the jobs of tomorrow. —— qualification. hawaii's kilauea volcano, which has been erupting for the past month, has spewed a column of ash up to 11,000 feet into the air. a broad flow of lava has also advanced to within half a mile of a geothermal power station, having destroyed dozens of nearby homes. it is the sheer scale of that, it is

unbelievable. you sort of thing, nature is an extraordinary thing. all the things we try to do, all the little worries that we have, this sort of thing is happening somewhere else in the world. extraordinary pictures. you see those things which would otherwise look like rivers from the air, at they are read, and it is lava. how many times have you been told to act your age? well, it's a piece of advice one gentleman didn't follow. he had to be rescued by police and the fire service after getting stuck in a child's swing in a play park. the 20—year—old had been firmly wedged in the child—sized seat for three hours before police were called to the park in ipswich to free him. when a "shove and pull" method of swing—release failed, the emergency services arrived with a trusty screwdriver and the following advice "always use age—appropriate play equipment."

i love that. very understated advice from ipswich east of police. it is tempting, isn't it? i was in the park with my two and a half —year—old daughter yesterday and she wa nted —year—old daughter yesterday and she wanted me to get onto one of those little things and i was thinking... idid. i little things and i was thinking... i did. i did. the thing is, this is why i have said bee with this guy. you don't try to get on those swings, do you? it is easier to get in and get out, that's the problem. that is the problem. let's get a weather update. i do have a funny feeling, i wonder if matt has been tempted by this kind of thing. here's matt with a look at this morning's weather. that is a suspicious look. and some lightning behind you. it is going

through one year and out the other. —— ear. through one year and out the other. -- ear. spectacular lightning across birmingham. unbelievable storms in some parts of england and wales. they came from northern france and pushed north. 50,000 flashes of lightning were viewed. storms have been fading in the midlands pushing into north wales. some more starting to develop in parts of the west midlands. heavy showers developing. not done with yet. further rumbles of thunder. this is where the rain is falling. heavily in parts of north wales. south of that, big storms. the rain will fizzle out

into the north sea. yet more showers in the english channel with the odd rumble of thunder. southern areas are prone to showers raking out through the day. sunshine in between. a bit of a breeze. it could go to northern ireland and north—west england. another fine day in scotland. temperatures and part of the highlands, 36. —— in parts of the. —— of the highlands, 36. —— in parts of the. -- 26. of the highlands, 36. —— in parts of the. —— 26. swansea, sunshine dominating over everything else. cloud around. a possible shower. tonight and monday, clouds gathering in the east of the country. a misty start to the morning. clear skies

towards the south and west. morning sunshine to start the bank holiday. the bank holiday monday. low cloud in eastern parts of england. i think most of you will have a good holiday. central and western areas in particular. warm with strong sunshine. more call with cloud. —— cool sunshine. more call with cloud. —— cool. not a bad bank holiday monday. low pressure in western parts of europe going further north. high pressure holding on for the vast majority for tuesday. the return to work, dry. breaking up. thunderstorms in southern counties

of england and wales. pleasantly warm in the sunshine but not as hot as it has been. that is it. back to both of you. that looks good. 25 in scotla nd both of you. that looks good. 25 in scotland on monday?” both of you. that looks good. 25 in scotland on monday? i like his new graphics. the lightning looked interesting. we will be back with the headlines at half butt six. for now, it is time for the film review with jane hill and mark kermode. hello and welcome to the film review on bbc news. to take us through this week's cinema releases is mark kermode. so mark, what do we have this week? very interesting week, we have the breadwinner, which is an oscar—nominated animation.

solo: a star wars story, another one. and mckellen: playing the part. and the breadwinner, based or taken from a book? yes, by deborah ellis. directed by nora twomey. this is from the studio that gave us song of the sea and secret of curls. this is adapted from deborah ellis‘ book. taliban—era, turn of the century, a young girl is selling bread with her father. he has lost a leg in the war with the taliban. clearly, they are struggling materially, but he teaches her the power of history, and most importantly, the power of stories. let's have a look at the clip. clip: our people have always told stories, from our very beginning when we were pathia and a fractured land and the claws of the hindu kush mountains, scorched by the fiery eyes of the northern deserts. black rubble earth against ice peaks, our land was the petrified

skeleton of a monster. the land of the noble and honourable, we were a pathway to everywhere, carrying goods from east to west. we studied the stars and began to see order amidst the chaos. we were scientists, philosophers and storytellers. questions sought answers, and then more questions. we began to see our place in the universe. on the one hand you have that sort of animation with the circling and cut—outs, then you have the more realistic backgrounds of the streets of kabul. they are almost photorealistic backgrounds with these simply drawn but very expressive faces. what happens is the father is arrested by the taliban, and the mother and sister are unable to get food, because you can't go out

without a male chaperone. yes, yes. our young heroine cuts her hair, puts on her dead brother's clothes and goes out disguised as a boy. she discovers that as a boy you can go wherever you want. a whole new world. she is also on a mission, not only to do provide for her family, but also to get her father from jail. i just thought this was wonderful. it deals with very dark subject matter, brilliantly directed by nora twomey. this is what i was thinking. the situation is very bleak for women in afghanistan. absolutely what it is about. it is very much a feminist story, but a universal story, but it is told through the eyes of the central child, an 11—year—old girl, and because we see it through her eyes, we can see terrible things, and yet her bravery, courage, humour and laughter sees us through. i think the way that the animation is done, in different styles, with the very realistic portrait of the streets and markets, juxtaposed against the cutout cycling of the story within the story, in which there is a story about a young boy having

to go up against a dreadful elephant king which kind of mirrors our heroine's journey, and those two fits together. the mix of eastern and western influences. i have seen it three times, and every time, i saw something i missed. i genuinely think it is universal. it is 12a certificate. it is telling a very difficult and very important story for audiences of all ages. you will love it. i can't wait. i wonder if the animation makes it more bearable, something that is difficult. is that true? absolutely. animation can sometimes talk about subjects that live—action movies couldn't deal with because of the transformative power of the animation. we are living through a golden age of animation. you have things like coco.

we are in a wonderful time for animation. this is at the forefront. it is wonderful. it is called the breadwinner, you will have to seek it out, because many screens are showing another movie this week, but do seek it out because it is wonderful. are other cinemas perhaps showing another star wars? there is another one. the other one was only six months ago. this is another one of the stand—alone spin offs. solo: a star wars story. it is the back story of han solo and his first meeting with chewbacca. his growing love affair with the millenium falcon. it had a very troubled production. it was originally directed by the guys who made the lego movie. very long into the production they left. they were told to go and they brought in ron howard. that seems, wow, that's a really big deal! it is surprisingly coherent. it does have a coherent tone. the tone is basically flimsy and fun, and alden ehrenreich

is very, very good as the young han solo. we see him as the character we know and love as harrison ford. it has the throwback but rogers stuff the original star wars movie had. they also have the force and the religion and the samurai stuff. this doesn't, itjust seems it much more like something... landa calrissian is good fun. it does seem like, i'm not entirely sure i needed this. did i really want another one of these? it's a bit baggy in the middle. it's fine, but hardly essential. it was a very sort of... i didn't feel there was a huge amount of jeopardy. it's not rogue one, which is a war movie. we are going to get to the point of any gap of the star wars story, they will make another movie to explain it. if someone goes through a door, oh, what happened when they went through that door? now there's three movies to fill in the gap. moving on, ian mckellen, if you're watching this on friday, happy birthday, ian mckellen, and there is a whole

film to celebrate? you were saying before it is a documentary. him looking back at his life, college, theatre, sexuality, becoming a political activist for lgbt causes, and then going back to schools and taking his vast knowledge to schools. he talked about how for a long time theatre was the centre of his life, then of course how he moves into movies. didn't he just, yes! and they filmed our progress up the ridge. i think only once because we'd have left our footprints in the snow, therefore couldn't do it twice. as we're going along, and i'm going snow up to my knees, with a perilous drop on one side,

and a bit of a peak at the other, i could be on everest. it's about as far away from green screen as you can get. we were there. constantly, we were there. and you can ask any of the actors. there were other locations i remember other locations in the hobbit where we were lifted up by helicopter, with a fantastic view over some lake or other, surrounded by mountains. you could listen to his voice all day, couldn't you ? couldn't you ? this is directed by the same guy who made chicken. there were clips, some great archives. he has also done dramatisations in which mckellen's word and lip—synched by actors recreating key moments. like the moment he auditioned to get a place in college. those dramatisations works surprisingly well. really, surprisingly well. scott chambers who was so brilliant in chicken features as well. i thought the whole thing was like a lovely leather armchair. you could just sit there and let these stories wash over you. what's great is how engaged he is, how passionate he is.

and the sweep of the career, theatre actress to some, a film actor to others, and that's what is so glorious. here he is withjudi dench. he says it is very difficult to play with her, because the audiences just love her. if you're playing with her they are not interested, theyjust lovejudi dench! which is absolutely true. this is playing later on on sunday, and opens properly on friday, previews of it on sunday. but it is a real pleasure to watch. your best out won an award at cannes for best debut? jeune femme, young woman. brilliant central performance. you will have to seek it out, but really, really good. interestingly enough, all the heads of department on the film were all female, the director, everything. so it is just a terrific piece of work and i think you will really like it. and dvd, the post?

cracking performance from meryl streep. is it a safe film, and i allowed to say that, will i be shot down for saying that? it is a film by steven spielberg, a historical film set in the ‘70s about the battle between the freedom press and a corrupt president. i don't know why, but it seemed terribly contemporary. i love it when you say what you think, mark. the post is enjoyable, a very enjoyable film to watch on dvd. it is a great film, don't let me be too rude about it. good to see you as ever and a reminder that you can find all the film news and reviews from across the bbc, on the website. all our previous programmes on the iplayer as well. that is it for this week, it's a really, really interesting week. thanks for being with us. see you next time. happy cinema—going. hello, this is breakfast

with chris mason and victoria fritz. here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news. plans for a landmark summit with north korea's kimjong—un are moving "very nicely" — that's according to president trump. his comments follow a surprise meeting between south korea's president, moonjae—in and kim jong—un who is thought to have reaffirmed his commitment to the "complete" denuclearisation of the korean peninsula. on thursday, mr trump cancelled the summit, citing hostility but now says there's a lot of "goodwill". england could get more national parks after environment secretary michael gove announced he is launching a review into the country's natural landscapes. it comes amid concerns that

new housing and changing lifestyles are putting parts of the countryside at risk. the review will consider whether to expand the network of parks as well as areas of outstanding beauty. police are investigating the deaths of a man and woman who fell ill at mutiny music festival in portsmouth. their deaths are separate incidents and not being treated as suspicious. earlier the festival issued a warning about a dangerous high strength or bad batch substance on the site and have urged festival—goers not to take any drugs. rbs has failed to appreciate the impact of its decision to close dozens of branches in scotland, a report by mps has found. the scottish affairs committee described the move as a "devastating blow" for communities affected. it is urging the bank to halt plans to axe up to 62 branches. rbs said the closures were in response to an increase in mobile and online banking. a landslide vote in favour of overturning ireland's abortion ban gives "hope" to northern ireland, that's according

to penny mordaunt, the minister for women and equalities. the referendum result has sparked calls for the issue to be reassessed in northern ireland, where laws are much stricter than the rest of the uk. ireland's prime minister said those who had voted against repeal would be unhappy but that a "quiet revolution" had taken place. the names of the first colleges in england that will teach new technical qualifications have been announced by the government. the courses for 16—year—olds are intended to be on a par with a—levels. there have been concerns that the courses, some of which start being taught from september 2020, are being brought in too quickly. the government says it is a vital reform that everyone can benefit from. hawaii's kilauea volcano, which has been erupting for the past month, has spewed a column of ash up to 11,000 feet into the air. a broad flow of lava has also advanced to within half a mile of a geothermal power station, having destroyed dozens of nearby homes.

hawaii civil defence is distributing free masks for the protection of local residents. richard is here with the sport. well, there is only one place to start, in kia of mac. —— kiev. so many talking points. yes, liverpool fa ns many talking points. yes, liverpool fans will be waking up this morning still feeling a bit dazed, wondering what happened. they went into it with such optimism and everything went wrong. mo salah, best —— the top scorer, had to go off early and again, and then the goalkeeper absolutely horrific mistakes. so, gareth bale breaks liverpool hearts and makes history for real mardrid in kiev. our correspondent david orstien was there and can take us through the match. the kings of european football! real

madrid, champions of europe for a 13th time. liverpool, heartbroken. the reds arrived with dreams of another famous triumph, but soon suffered the cruellest of blows. mo salah, their inspirational season, pulled to the ground and forced off, inconsolable. the key threats removed, real madrid could rally, and were gifted the lead. an inexplicable error by loris karius, punished by karim benzema. the bull's blushes were temporarily spared when sadio mane level they tie. however, madrid are a great site for a reason, and gareth bale showed why. on as a substitute, the welshman defied gravity to make this seemingly impossible reality. a moment worthy of winning any match, and gareth bale soon sealed the trophy. another horror show from karius and real wood rain once again. so, liverpool's unforgettable

journey comes to an agonising end. their supporters here and at home will be distraught. losing to real madrid is no disgrace, but the circumstances will leave a bitter taste and a whole summer to ponder how different it could have been. so it was a night to forget for liverpool's goalkeeper loris karius. but his managerjurgen klopp says he feels for the german. it is really hard, i really feel for him, never the one start. yeah. that is the situation. the mistakes were obvious, we don't have to talk about that. it is all clear. he knows it. i know it. you all know it. and now he has to deal with it, we have to deal with it, we will do that, and of course we will be with him. there is no doubt about that. jurgen kl°pp, is no doubt about that. jurgen klopp, he is great, isn't it? such a good thing. let's talk about another good thing. let's talk about another good thing. let's talk about another

good thing for liverpool, because we do need to pick up some of the high moments. it is amazing. they have a tea m moments. it is amazing. they have a team where none of the players had really been to a big final like this before. mo salah, i know he is injured but perhaps he is going to come back, we don't quite know the state of play there. a sad night for him. it really was. he was the key man, in many ways. 44 goals this season. top scorer in the premier league. and midway through that first half, that injury to his shoulder. we don't know yet the extent of it, but there has been word from the egyptian fa, they are hopeful that he will be able to make the world cup, which starts onjune 14. the world cup, which starts onjune 1a. hijabs, they are there for the first time in 28 years. —— each of, they are. a big occasion for them. there were tears in each of 20 went off and it looked really serious. —— tempt one mac —— in egypt. there was one other football game with anti— riding on it yesterday.

fulham have been promoted to the premier league after beating aston villa in football's richest match, the championship play—off final. tom cairney scored the only goal in 1—0 win for the london side who return to the top flight after four years away. theyjoin wolves and cardiff city as this year's three promoted sides. so later today chris froome will make cycling history yet again. he'll be confirmed as the first british man to win the giro d'italia, on what is a largely ceremonialfinal stage in rome. drew savage reports on how he sealed his victory yesterday, in the mountains. this was the moment chris froome knew he had all but one giro d'italia. the big celebrations will come after today's ceremonial stage in rome. yesterday it was time to congratulate his team on a job well done. we have seen this are often in the two fronts. chris froome, secure in the leadersjersey, the two fronts. chris froome, secure in the leaders jersey, protected by his teammates. but it is the first

time we have seen it in the italian mountains. his heroics on friday meant his nearest rival had to gain 40 meant his nearest rival had to gain a0 seconds if he wanted to win the pinkjersey. but he found a man wearing it stuck to his back wheel. tom dwan did everything he could to try to get ahead, but after spending over a fortnight looking out of the running, chris froome was in com plete running, chris froome was in complete control. crossing the line with a a6 second advantage, his own result anti—doping case means there are still 20 unanswered questions. he has won grand tours in france and spain. italy will be three in a row. that is something to celebrate. an incredible achievement. england will need to produce something amazing if they are to avoid defeat in the first test against pakistan at lord's. they lost wickets at regular intervals on the third day and at one stage it seemed pakistan would win the match with two days to spare. but dom bess, on his test debut, hit a half century to give england a lead of 56 with four wickets remaining. saracens are english rugby union's champions after beating exeter 27—10 in the premiership final at twickenham. sarries had finished the regular season in second place behind the chiefs but scored four tries

in a repeat of the 2016 final, and clinched their third premiership title in four seasons. elsewhere, in the pro1a final, european champions leinster beat scarlets to complete a historic double. leinster won a0—32 at dublin's aviva stadium to beat the defending champions, capping a remarkable season for irish rugby. in formula one, red bull had a bittersweet day ahead of today's monaco grand prix. while max verstappen's crash meant he will start today's race from the back of the grid. his teammate daniel ricciardo was more fortunate, grabbing pole position. lewis hamilton starts third on the grid. and rory mcilroy goes into the final day of the pga championship at wentworth tied for the lead after a late surge in his third round. mcilroy birdied both of his last two holes to salvage a round of one under par. he's level with francesco molinari on 13 under going into today's fourth round.

taking a photo of your travels to share on social media is an essential part of the trip for many people, and some will go to great lengths to get that perfect snap. but now major charities and social media giant instagram are asking tourists to stop and think before you snap a photo of animals, wherever you are in the world. i am heading to the wildlife friends foundation, three hours drive south of thailand's capital bangkok to find out what is being done to help animals who are being used in the tourist industry. the 165 acre complex houses a rescue centre and thailand's first wildlife hospital. there is also a refuge for elephants, so there are plenty of photo opportunities. if i go instagram and search for, says, "elephant selfie", under that hashtag, there are almost 15,000 posts. but if i click on the hashtag, i get a warning that says, "protect wildlife on instagram — animal abuse and the sale of endangered animals

or their parts are not allowed on instagram." the page asks the poster to be wary when paying for photo opportunities with exotic animals. it is an issue charities are trying to tackle on the ground. how big a problem are these animal selfie pictures? it's huge, it's huge. let me show you a few of the things i have come across in my time working here in thailand. for example, here we have a gibbon being used as a photo prop animal, it is very common to see a baby gibbon or a slow loris being carted around by a guy, and people will pay about 100 or 200 baht to have that one—second selfie, and sadly it's a lifetime for that animal. there's a few more here... what's he riding on? this is a liger, which is a cross between a tiger and a lion. the liger is the biggest wild cat you can have, but this guy is riding it.

a lot of these animals are just beaten into submission. this animal here, you can't see unless i zoom, but he is on a very short chain. but they are huge, dangerous animals, they have massive canines and huge claws, and if the animal does have a little flinch in its mind to think, oh, i want to attack this person, god forbid what would happen to you. this is a family, we don't know if the animal has diseases or vice—versa, these guys could have a common cold and that is very easy for it to be transmitted between the great apes. infant animals are particularly vulnerable to the photo prop trade. here in the wildlife hospital, babies that have been rescued or abandoned are cared for in the nursery. this vet takes me behind the scenes to meet them. oh, hi, hi little guy! can you tell me a bit about langurs, why are they so popular in the photo prop industry? because when they was born their fur is completely full of orange, and with the pink face, they are so, so cute,

they are very popular for people to be taking a photo. they are still cute now! how old is vincent now? for now he is six months old. looking after animals like vincent is painstaking work. some have complex needs, like slow loris tien. he was kept as a pet, and vets here say a poor diet and lack of sunlight caused him to develop bone disease. hi! sorry to wake you. so the loris is on the endangered list, isn't it? poachers hunt them in the forest because they are quite cute, they have the big eyes. in the south of thailand, all the tourist places, they are quite popular to bring them to take a photo to the tourist, and

pay money for them. oh you poor guy! he wants to climb now. 0k! let's give you some exercise. the vet gives tien daily physiotherapy can and get used to the sunlight again. slowly his condition is improving. in the wild these animals would hold on to their mothers throughout infancy, so they instinctively cling on to each other to try and recreate the warmth and security they would normally get from their parents. this is our baby macaque, boonma and pearl, one male and one female.

boonma! why does he want that one? don't try and steal pearl's! the owner brought her from the market, this means her mother was killed by a poacher. so sad. they have got each other now. they know they have each other, and that is a good thing for them. look at these sweet baby macaques, pearl and boonma. i love how affectionate they are with each other. it is too young to be separated from their mother. removing a young animal from its parents impact their behaviour for life. tom takes me to meet two indonesian orangutans who staff are trying to re—teach wild habits to. maggie was found abandoned near the rescue centre. chico grew up in the photo prop industry and was kept as a pet. he was given to the team here when he became too big to handle. we have carers who bring maggie and chico into the forest every day and we encourage them to climb in the trees, by throwing fruit into the trees, wrapped in vines and stuff like that. we were hoping that he would copy

maggie, who is more wild, chico is a little bit more fond of humans, he is coming to say hello now. 0k. hi chico! should i be worried? hi chico! just stay calm. oh, chico is holding my hands. hello chico! oh, hi! i think chico likes my shoes. i didn't quite expect that, human interaction, he is almost like a small child. does that hark back to the days when he was used as a photo prop or even a pet? he does have an unnatural attachment to humans. he would have been poached from the wild as a very young infant, he has been with humans most of his life. we are trying to erase that, to a certain extent. but the stark reality of a photo prop animal, it is not all fun and games like we saw then, yes, he was having fun with you, but if he did that to a tourist he would be beaten with a stick.

and that's how they can control these animals. so chico could never probably be released back into the wild. i would not like you say never but it would be a long process to rehabilitate him to a state where he would be a release candidate. it is great to see chico, and i want to know how to help other animals like him. what people should do when they see things like this is safely try and take video footage or photographs, the location, the animal so we can identify the species, if they have a high level of protection. it then needs to be reported to the relevant authorities and ourselves here at wfft, because we can inform the department of national parks and the authorities to act. and if you are taking a photo with an animal, the advice is to keep a safe distance and assess the condition it is being held in. there are national parks and sanctuaries throughout thailand where people can experience wildlife in a responsible way. here at the foundation,

tourists are encouraged to roll up their sleeves, get dirty and help care for the rescued animals. and that is far more rewarding than taking a selfie to share with your friends. it is hard going here, but i think she is enjoying it. i might be getting a bath too. if you are planning a trip to thailand, here is our guide of things to think about before you go. may to october is thailand's rainy season. there are obvious downsides to that, but don't forget — it also means smaller crowds and cheaper prices, and the rain only tends to come in short, sharp bursts. also if you choose your destination carefully, it may not affect you at all. on some of the islands like koh samui or koh tao, the downpours generally don't arrive until september. if you have to be in the capital bangkok, there is still indoorfun to be had.

we've enjoyed cooking with to, which is a school in one of the city's slums, or you could go shopping at one of the night markets, which are largely undercover. this one is rot fai, iun the north of the city. kitsch and fun and as ever, some of the street food there is wonderful. muay thai, or kickboxing is thailand's national sport, and a visit to one of the big arenas is rarely a boring experience. tickets to fights cost around 1000 baht, which isjust over 30 us dollars. if you are feeling brave you can book yourself into one of the camps that will train you up and harden you into a muay thai machine. orfor something more mindful, why not spend some time getting in touch with your inner monk. some monasteries like this one here in the north—east allow tourists to stay in exchange for a small donation and a little bit of elbow grease.

you will need to be respectful and follow all the rules, but you might pick up a little spiritual enlightenment along the way. christer visits amsterdam were 23 million visitors are expected by the end of the decade. to find out how this historic city plans to cope the crowd. if you want to see more, check out the iplayer. until then, from all of us here in thailand, it is goodbye. hello this is breakfast, with chris mason and victoria fritz. renewed hope for an unprecedented summit between the united states and north korea. donald trump says preparations are "moving along very nicely" following surprise talks between the leaders of north and south korea. good morning — it's sunday 27th may.

also this morning — it was heartbreak for liverpool fans but elation for real madrid. good morning, goal keeping mistakes and a moment of bale brilliance deny liverpool in the champions league final. and are more national parks the answer to protecting england's countryside?
