9:33 am
shoulder injury and then loris karius had to errors and gareth bale had spectacular overhead kick, something that the liverpool boss acknowledged and said that he feels for his goalkeeper. i really feel for his goalkeeper. i really feel for him. nobody wants that. that is the situation. the mistakes were obvious. we don't have to talk about that, it's all clear, he knows it, you all know it and we have to deal with it and we will do that and of course we will be with him. gareth bale described his stunning overhead kick is a dream country that his future remains uncertain. the wales forward has started only three times
9:34 am
in the champions league and after the match he said he will discuss his next step with his agent in the summer. his next step with his agent in the summer. i feel that i need to his next step with his agent in the summer. i feelthat i need to be playing every week. it's something that i have always wanted to do. something i should be doing. if it's not the case here then it's something i have to really consider and sit down and do and i will do that in the summer. i have plenty of time now to relax and reflect on things. i will see time now to relax and reflect on things. iwill see how time now to relax and reflect on things. i will see how things go. as the liverpool fans, it was tough to take. many have spent a lot of money and had very difficultjourneys. they were left to reflect on a final that simply didn't go to plan. all the way from new zealand. saw that. two bad errors, goalkeeping errors like that. 0h... heartbreaking. disappointed. we lost to a great team, we know that. ask yourself, i guess, if we'd have lost... we lost salah — if they'd have lost their best player after half an hour it may have been a different game. if they kept salah and it would have been a different story. i'm pretty sure it would.

that was absolutely terrible. all of our own making. karius let the first one in, gave it away. couldn't do anything about the second but the third one, should have had that. came from too far out. we've been let down unfortunately by two goalkeeping errors. i know it's a team game, but they were devastating errors. they were shocking. we still got klopp, we've got a good team, good manager. so they'll probably be a lot of people laughing — at karius, laughing at us... but we'll be back. 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. in english football, no match has higher stakes. 48 league games to

find ina higher stakes. 48 league games to find in a day and to land promotion, you earn a place in club royalty. it has been too long for aston villa and file under the first step was taken by the team. aston villa waited for the second half to launch their onslaught. they pinned their hopes on the feet of jack greer lesh. full‘s dennis dory offer a second yellow. villa had 20 minutes to make that counts but going behind in these games and the clock turns too quickly. they ran out of chances and out of hope. full return to the top after four years away but after the fireworks, comes the premier league spotlight and the hard work sta rts league spotlight and the hard work starts here. late today, chris

froome will be making history in a largely ceremonial final stage in the giro d'italia. i am here in rome and what a beautiful morning it is here with the colosseum in the backdrop, no better place for chris froome to win the third of his grand tour titles. he is the reigning tour de france champion, well to —— this final stage as you say today is largely processional, a few loops around the city, around 115 kilometres in length. no one is going to overtake chris froome from here, he leads by 46 seconds. earlier on this morning, i spoke to his boss at team sky and asked him how significant this victory is.
9:38 am
his boss at team sky and asked him how significant this victory islj think how significant this victory is.” think what will really go down in history is the way that this race was won. he took the race by the scruff of the neck and he did this epic ride, which is 99.9 times out ofa epic ride, which is 99.9 times out of a hundred it wouldn't work but it did work and i think that is really what everybody is going to remember this race for. an amazing stage 19, chris froome attacking from 80 qantas from the end. simon yates, his fellow brit, was leading behind but there is still a cloud surrounding chris froome because he is still under investigation for being over the legal limit of an anti—asthma drug. the result of that investigation is still pending that state is a celebration for chris froome. around 4pm local time, he should cross the line to become the giro d'italia winner. england need to produce something

9:40 am
then saracens started to lay down then saracens started to lay down the law. then try number two, from the law. then try number two, from the retiring chris wiles and when wyles added his second score, sarries could start to plan a farewell party. with 20 minutes left, exeter weren't quite done yet. some hope of holding onto their title. but sarries are masters at closing out tight games. earl securing the game in the final seconds. saracens restored their position as the dominant force in english rugby. elsewhere, in the pr014 final, european champions leinster beat scarlets to complete a historic double. leinster won 40—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

9:42 am
with me are robert fox, defence editor at the london evening standard and prashant rao, deputy europe business editor at the new york times. before we discuss the paper ‘s legislative some of the front pages. the mail on sunday leads on the news that the prominent brexiteerjacob rees mogg has bought a £5 million house which is closer to parliament than number 10. the paper suggests he could be eyeing a leadership bid. the sunday telegraph says a "new generation" of national parks are being planned by the environment secretary michael gove. the sunday express has an exclusive interview with the general responsible for planning the military ceremony from last week's royal wedding. the sunday times reports on the prospect of an open revolt on the prime minister by senior tory women over a vote on abortion rights in northern ireland. and the observer leads on the vote to end ireland's abortion ban, saying it marks the country's transformation from a bastion
9:43 am
of religious conservatism to one of europe's most tolerant democracies. let's have a look at some those stories in detail. i want to start with the observer and the big story of the weekend is ireland's abortion rights and the question is what now? as far as ireland is concerned, even those that opposed abortion said the referendum as the referendum it will go through. it's a huge change, which the observer notes. a very good turnout of about 65%. the paper says it wasn'tjust good turnout of about 65%. the paper says it wasn't just the young good turnout of about 65%. the paper says it wasn'tjust the young vote. it's very interesting how only a very, very few pockets of rural ireland seemed to go the other way.
9:44 am
it is very interesting, if i can put an artistic note, one of ireland or anglo ireland's graters writers died a few years ago, wil, those stories we re a few years ago, wil, those stories were set in the old, lonely church ridden, may i say, rural ireland. they have all noted this. it is the grip of the irish church hierarchy has finally gone in irish politics, which is practically dominated irish politics since independence and it's very interesting that sinn fein, which in the past has been mixed up with the church, has jumped for the pro—abortion, this means there is then to be real trouble in northern ireland where the story moves to next. a lot of interest in america on this i'm sure. absolutely. ireland is a country that the united states is very interested in but it
9:45 am
is also a country that the world is increasingly interested in because it's a remarkable transformation. the observer notes this, 40 years ago women can buy a condom legally, divorce was bad and unmentioned in public and the transformation in a relatively short period of time is just astonishing and i think that the course of interest to the us but also readers around the world are fascinated. an interesting breakdown of how people voted in ireland and i won't go through it all but basically every kind of person, every kind of age, men, women, 18 to 24—year—olds, right up to 35 to 49—year—olds, middle—class, working—class, all well beyond 50%. the the opposing side will oppose it when it comes into parliament but there is a mandate to change the law. it's gone. leading women in the
9:46 am
conservative party could revolt against theresa may. is a very strong story because it's led by penny mardaunt because there is now a question of what happens in northern ireland. she's been somewhat contradicted by her cabinet colleagues. by karen bradley, who said it's a devolved matter but there is less to that statement than meets the eye because government isn't devolved in northern ireland at the moment and yet, following what is saying, the restrictions on abortion are almost, not quite, almost as restrictive as under the old fingers gently sucked away in the south, only very particular cases of emergency and it underpins
9:47 am
the present state of affairs in ireland that the unborn child has an equal right with the life of the mother. mrs may is really under pressure because she is so dependent on arlene foster and the dup boats in the house of commons. i hope it is getting to conjugated now in the dup is hard over in maintaining the present abortion laws. i think the sunday times this country right because it will be a fight, it is not only penny mordaunt but also her predecessors have said yes, the prime minister has got to do something about it. the prime minister doesn't want to do something about it because she thinks it could put the support of the dup under pressure. a couple of observations on this story? agreed.
9:48 am
it's a royal problem for theresa may in this. women in northern ireland used to be able to fly to britain, i'iow used to be able to fly to britain, now they can do is take the bus to ireland. this is an current area that was made this morning. it's strange now that this law persists and it seems to be the sunday times notes, many mps are looking to back a domestic abuse bill to support abortion services in ireland. the referendum has added momentum to this. if things that are not scientifically, will probably be looking at the front page of the mail on sunday but within two looking at the back page. what usually sports stories are could have been so different, couldn't it if we had seen liverpool three and real madrid at one? there's so much
9:49 am
about that that is remarkable and if it had just been gareth bale's goal. the athleticism involved is incredible but it is kind of eclipsed by when mo salah had that injury, that he would be the world fit egypt, he took liverpool all the way to the champions league final, this inspirational figure and not be able to play the full match, there is so much that is heartbreaking. off before the goals were scored. is so much that is heartbreaking. off before the goals were scoredm at this team and the city in his transit so much of the world and the idea that he won't get to play in the world cup is country is really tragic. rail madrid, they are an incredible team as well and many would say deserved to win. but the politics of real madrid are
9:50 am
fascinating. too bad errors by the goalkeeper, but the wonder goal was a wonder goal and then the wonderful gareth bale comes on because he was only on as a substitute, schools two out of the four goals scored and saidi out of the four goals scored and said i may be off. that's the politics side of it. incredible restraint, calm gareth bale was talking on the radio and tv this morning on the media, saying yes, we're going on holiday now and then i'll meet up with my team and he's keeping everybody dangling. what i do find impressive, taking your point, ifind gareth bale and people like mo salah, they are very impressive figures. inspiring future footballers as well, it even in america. the sunday mirror. this is
9:51 am
just the most incredible story. you quys just the most incredible story. you guys at home and not be totally across this, there are so much to tell you. who wants to start? this headline. a wife's storage is talking about a parachute jump. choose to about parachute jump but the basics of it are her husband got into large amounts of debt, he's been cheating on her and in an attempt to resolve these issues, he took, it's like a movie, it's like watching law and order he took out an insurance policy and tried to kill her twice. once with poisoned gas and then he tampered with her parachute. this interview, every paragraph is morris on a shingle in the last. the ups and downs that they went through. she hasn't spoken
9:52 am
to him in the three years since he was charged. he hasn't spoken to his children. possibly the understatement of the entire day's newspaper is that the woman he tried to kill says, divorce is inevitable. what a shock. she doesn't really wa nt what a shock. she doesn't really want one. she wants to confront him. this is at least a miniseries. is going to be a movie. it's got elements of 50 shades which we can't go into on morning television but read the sunday mirror if you want to find out more. i had a glancing look at the parachute world and everything is high stakes. i'm surprised you haven't had a go.”
9:53 am
have been in battle with the parachutes. this is not a replacement but love the type of a—level but looking at technology. i know you really welcome this.” welcome this because we are two results orientated, we always want to know about the stars but out of the people who make things work and not necessarily the stars. what this tea level qualification, they are more vocational, anything from nannying, nursing, technical, vocational work, has been backed by lloyds, ibm, damien hynes said at his latecomer. here's the education secretary and he is all for it. mrs may apparently is all for it. it is
9:54 am
much, much needed. forall the reasons stated that actually, quality of people in the workplace and in life is not measured by degrees and exams. it only gives you a sort of indicator. and not everybody excels in the exam hall either. there is a real downer to this story which you spot on the inside pages of the sunday times because everybody quite rightly, eve ryo ne because everybody quite rightly, everyone is involved in it but, yet again, we have professor alan smithers of the university of buckingham and, allegedly, elements of the employers association saying, but where. this is going to be any good. pouring cold water on the thing before it's even started. if they really do this thing, they would think before they open their mouth or gap to the press about it. it's quite clearly needed. one of
9:55 am
the worries though, these current exams are needed and i did btec diploma in the media when they are rolled out, ahem, 20 years ago. the more vocational, hands—on experience qualification seriously, it's a degree or higher level or nothing. that is part of the difficulty. you can roll out the qualification is ha rd can roll out the qualification is hard to change the culture. we're talking about germany, switzerland, places in which the degree is only one facet of an education and other things you can do. i have friends who worked at banks that they gone oi'i who worked at banks that they gone on with it and didn't go to university. it is all about experience, isn't it. that brings us toa experience, isn't it. that brings us to a wonderful and. thanks for talking is through that. thanks too for watching. don't forget, you concede the front pages on the bbc website. if you miss the programme any day, you can watch it later on line. thanks
9:56 am
to bothjoining us this sunday morning. thank you for watching and the is soon. hello there, sunny sunday out there for a fair few there are a few thunderstorms for the review, not as many as we saw last night, a night of severe storms, in total, the storms have moved their way northwards and saw round 50,000 lightning flashes. after little bit of morning rain in swansea, sunshine through the afternoon. feeling humid and southern counties, bodes well for swansea after the

weekend but with high pressured to the north, we will always have easterly winds, largely speaking that will bring the low cloud as well. low—pressure closer to the south means the reintroduction of a few thundery showers on tuesday in southernmost part of the uk. most though will be dry. not quite as warm but if you are half term break, only one or two isolated showers in the forecast, most dry with sunny spells. this is bbc news. the headlines at 10am:
