a lot of low cloud coming in off the north sea, so a rather murky night to come. anywhere from the, sort of, lothians down towards the southern parts of the midlands. still a sultry night in the south, clearer skies in the north, allowing those temperatures to fall away. so, leaden skies first up across the heart of the british isles and there's going to be that prospect of some low cloud, even on into the afternoon across the northern and eastern parts of scotland and down the eastern shores of england. inland and western areas, again, those temperatures well on into the 20s. come tuesday, again, a lot of cloud will have come in from the north sea. it will have taken a bit of time before we have seen the last of that gradually burning away. still that risk of thunderstorms across southern counties. this is bbc news, our latest headlines. celebrations in dublin — but now the focus shifts to the north — and abortion laws that are far more restrictive than the rest of the uk. the us sends a delegation to north korea aimed at reinstating a possible summit

between the countries' leaders. organisers cancel the mutiny festival in portsmouth, after two people die at the event. voters head to the polls in colombia, for the first presidential election since a peace agreement ended 50 years of civil war. now on bbc news — sportsday. hello and welcome to sportsday, i'm adam wild. coming up on the programme. history for chris froome as he becomes the first british man to win cycling's giro d'italia. johanna konta's troubles at roland garros continue. she is out of the french open in the first round again. and from pole to the chequered flag, red bull's daniel riccardo puts in a masterful performance at the monaco grand prix. hello and welcome to sportsday.

chris froome has became the first british man to win the giro d'italia as he coasted home in todays processional stage in rome. he is just the seventh man to complete a grand tour hat—trick after adding italian success to the 2017 vuelta and four tour de france wins. from rome, heres tim hague. there can be few better places to create history than in rome. chris froome has donejust create history than in rome. chris froome has done just that and now holds all three of cycling's grand tour title. despite also becoming

the first british man to win the the giro d'italia in its 101 year history, it has been a far from simple road to victory for chris froome. before the race even began injerusalem, the froome. before the race even began in jerusalem, the britain froome. before the race even began injerusalem, the britain suffered a nasty crash whilst preparing. it also had to content with an ongoing investigation surrounding the use of an asthma drug, something some fans we re an asthma drug, something some fans were keen to remind him of. within the last few days, chris froome has once again shown his pedigree on the road, winning two stages and on friday, destroying the field so much that he went from fourth to first. but there would be no need for such a performance today. in this processionalfinal a performance today. in this processional final stage which loops around the capital, a 46 second lead would not be made up by his rival. the four—time tour de france winner even had time for a drink and as expected, side by side with the rest of his team sky colleagues, froome finished the stage intact and, of course, wearing the leader's pink

jersey. there may be tough questions to a nswer jersey. there may be tough questions to answer further down the line but today was all about celebrating with the grand tours of france, spain and 110w the grand tours of france, spain and now it in the success of the won, chris froome has broken records and broken his rivals, once again. to tennis then, and british number one johanna konta is out of the french open at roland garros. she lost in straight sets to kazakhstan‘s yulia putintseva. clare thornton reports. johanna konta arrived in paris hoping to get past the first round at the french grand slam at her fourth attempt. but roland —— roland garros remains a hostile environment as she was punished for an error ridden display by her opponent, yulia putintseva. the first set went with serve until the eighth game, when yulia putintseva took control. the world number 93 fighting her own

personal battle, knowing that a feat this early in the tournament could see her drop out of the top 100 —— defeat in this tournament. the cadillac took the first set 6—4 but you an had a strong start to the second. any hopes of a comeback didn't last long as the 22nd seed forced to stay in the match, her aggressive play resulted in inaccuracy and she racked up 32 u nforced inaccuracy and she racked up 32 unforced errors. in the acre —— in the end, yulia putintseva took victory after another wide shot by the brit, who is hoping a return to grass will bring with it a return to form next month. so another disappointing afternoon on clay forjohanna konta. remember, she also had a poor end to her season last year and lost in the second round of the australian open back in january. so what does it mean for the british number one ahead of the grass court season? from paris, here's our tennis corresndent, russell fuller. this, according to johanna this, according tojohanna konta, was the most disappointing of her

four main draw defeats at roland garros. she said she doesn't really have a plan b, she plays one way, all out aggression, and when it doesn't hit the spot, this is the result. another disappointing defeat. a nice analogy from her afterwards in her press conference when she was asked whether the narrative surrounding her at roland garros, she never wins a match in the main draw, has had an effect on herform. she said the main draw, has had an effect on her form. she said the writers in the room, perhaps it would have an effect on you, too, if all your collea g u es effect on you, too, if all your colleagues told you the quality of your writing drops every time the french open comes around. it will be a rest for her and then three grass court event in nottingham, eastbourne and birmingham before wimbledon where last year, she reached the semifinals. meanwhile, it was also a bad day for ninth seed venus williams. she was knocked out by china's wang qiang, who is currently ranked 91st in the world. the 26—year—old impressed with a straght sets victory, beating the seven—time major champion 6—4, 7—5. in another shock result, defending champion jelena ostapenko also lost to kateryna kozlova. in formula one's monaco grand

prix, daniel ricciardo in the red bull led from start to finish to win his second race of the season. sebastian vettel finished second, ahead of britain's lewis hamilton in third. hamilton now leads the championship by 1a points from vettel. the story of today's race comes from out sports correspondent andy swiss. plain sailing? monaco would prove anything but. for lewis hamilton, starting third on the grid but above all for the man in pole position... lights out. ..daniel riccardo sped away and it seemed like a victory parade, the australian easing clear but with 50 laps still to go, his car suddenly lost power and his lead vanished. sebastian vettel on his tail, as the field concertinaed behind him. at one stage, the top five separated by just eight seconds. but they could not find a way past, including hamilton, who stayed stuck in third, as ricciardo brilliantly nursed his car towards the finish.

the most spectacular moment was undoubtedly this, an untimely brake problem, which ended his and brendon hartley's race. both thankfully unhurt. ahead of them, it was ricciardo's day, a masterful drive as he finished ahead of vettel and hamilton, a victory over his own car as well as his rival‘s. england succumbed to a miserable nine—wicket defeat by pakistan on the fourth day of the first test at lord's. it follows a winter when they didn't manage a win in seven tests in australia and new zealand, and they've now lost the opening test of a home summer for the first time in 23 years. ben croucher was watching the action. after england's winter of discontent, their summer started with little to shout about. you needed to get there early to see it

all unfold, although their batting was something most have seen before. the day was just eight overs old whenjos the day was just eight overs old when jos buttler the day was just eight overs old whenjos buttler missed a straight one, the beginning of an english collapse. 27 minutes, the remaining four wickets added just seven runs to their overnight total, 64 the target. with lunch warming up, england served up a bit of alfei bowling, help yourself! pakistan wasted no time in tucking in —— bowling. this was supposed to be an upturn in england's from new selectors, new fortunes but in a little over three days, very little has changed. in rugby union, england hosted the barbarians at twickenham this afternoon before they head off on their summer tour to south africa. one englishman who won't be on that plane was out to make a point to the national coach. chris ashton, who is ineligible to play for his country because he plays his club rugby in france scored a hatrick as the baabaas stormed to victory. while the result will have disappointed england fans, no—one could complain about not being entertained as the teams scored 15 tries between them —

piers francis with a brace of his own for england. the match finished 63—45 to the barbarians and after a disapointing six nations will have given england boss eddiejones plenty to think about ahead of next month's tour and the world cup in 15 months' time. rotherham will play in next season's championship after victory in the league one play off final at wembley. it took extra time, but they came through to beat shrewsbury 2—1. it was their captain richard who scored both their goals, the decisive one in the 12th minute of extra time. and that was enough to cement rotherham's place in the championship next season. as liverpool and their fans make their way home after last night's defeat in the champions league final against real madrid, goalkeeper loris karius who, of course, made those two game—changing errors, has been

speaking about his disappointment on social media. this afternoon he has said: "i haven't really slept until now, the scenes are still runing through my head again and again, i'm infinitely sorry to my team mates, for you fans and for all the staff. i know i messed this up with the two mistakes and let you all down". another of the match‘s big talking points was the injury to liverpool leading scorer mo salah, he has also tweeted, suggesting he will be fit for the world cup, saying: meanwhile, liverpool manager jurgen klopp has been getting behind his goalkeeper. it's really hard, ifeel for him, nobody wants that. that's the situation. the mistakes were obvious, we don't have to... we don't have to talk about that, it's

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. of course, we will be with him, there's no doubt about that. it's been a frustrating day for rory mcilroy at the pga championship at wentworth as italian francesco molinari confirmed victory by two shots. nothing seemed to go right for mcilroy all day as he missed birdie after birdie and failed to threaten the leader —
