and — two bbc dramas go head to head tonight, at the bafta tv awards. good evening, welcome to bbc news. manchester city have won football's premier league title on the last day of the season — after one of the tightest title races for years. they won 4—1 today away at brighton, meaning they pipped liverpool by one point. as the final whistle went in brighton — city's players celebrated on the pitch. this is the scene live in brighton right now, that is pep guardiola celebrating and having promised fans that they would be even better next

year. i'm not sure how they will top it but that's what they intend to do. fans in the stadium enjoying the evening in brighton, all of the players walking around on the pitch, and enjoying celebrate a relapse of honour, wearing their premier league title metals. —— medals, they were awarded the trophyjust over an hour ago. they ran a little behind schedule because of goodbye celebrations for one of brighton's players, one of the longest serving players, one of the longest serving players in football at the moment, bruno, taking his valedictory, as his final match as a brighton player. quite a number of fans still in the stadium, a couple of players still on the pitch enjoying the atmosphere. boy, have they earned it! after their performance this year. kevin keegan saying that he thinks, as a former manchester city manager himself, and a successful liverpool player, he thinks that the reserve tea m

liverpool player, he thinks that the reserve team is actually letter people on the bench than many of the people on the bench than many of the people in the liverpool first team, or at least their equivalent. that's the quality of talent that pep guardiola has managed to assemble at manchester city in the last few days. an opportunity, who knows, to check back on his own performance and pick up and collect all of his messages. all of those voice messages! all of those cries of congratulation and a better social media posting as well. they all have websites now, haven't they? and quite right, everybody wants to know what they think after today's performance and an incredible season. light back and think of manchester city. we spoke to lizzie greenwood hughes at the bbc sport centre. they have been ruthless, they have been so clinical. this was their 40th consecutive premier league victory, a record. and it beats arsenal's record ten years ago. they have been taunting liverpool with a

one—point advantage for months. liverpool matched them toe for toe, they lost one game this season, but city did it today. i think most people expected them to do it today but what we have seen with the champions league this week, anything can happen in football but they were good today. they did not have it all their own way, for about 20 minutes liverpool were going to be the champions, they took the lead, they we re champions, they took the lead, they were 1—0 champions, they took the lead, they were1—0 up, may champions, they took the lead, they were 1—0 up, may the scorer, and then ten minutes later, brighton scored, they were beating manchester 1-0. scored, they were beating manchester 1—0. glenn murray with the header there. at that point liverpool were going to be the champions and we we re going to be the champions and we were writing our stories but then, manchester city city came back. it was 1—1 for city against brighton, and 1— 04 liverpool. suddenly, ten minutes later, city put their foot on the gas, and then they were to— one up and in the second half they

scored a couple more goals. they did what they have been doing for months, and went on to beat brighton. they were bottom of the table, it was always going to be an advantage for city, it is cruel for liverpool, they will finish the season on 97 points. 0n liverpool, they will finish the season on 97 points. on any other season on 97 points. on any other season apart from last year, they would have absolutely trounced the lead and won by a mile but they were up lead and won by a mile but they were up against city, they have been extraordinary. liverpool, painfully, have not done this for 29 years and they were hoping this would be their year and they have been living parallel seasons, living the manchester city ideal season, they have never won the liverpool have won many times before but now, manchester city had won the league that liverpool have been so desperate for. they have been in —— existing in each other‘s seasons. but liverpool must be so proud, they've done incredibly well. 97

points is a wonderful total but sadly, for them, it is at least one point too few and manchester city have been crowned the premier league champions, back—to—back winners. they won this year and last year, and it is very special for them. pep guardiola has orchestrated this spectacular season. he promised more and better next season, he is setting the bar high for the team. richard scudamore was saying before the match, he is leaving as the premier league boss, saying that he was particularly proud this season because it has been such a high point scoring season. what is the explanation for that? have the team finally settled into this new season? it is a long season, not least? may be, but personally, it's because liverpool and manchester city have been so much better than eve ryo ne city have been so much better than everyone else. manchester united lost to cardiff today, they had been relegated. that will not go down well at old trafford. it has been

cut city and liverpool being so much better. liverpool lost one game this season, this, for manchester city today, is their 14th in a row. they have been supreme. city spent more money than liverpool, that mix what they have done more impressive. but those two clubs have been brilliant. as you say, it's been a wonderful yearfor english as you say, it's been a wonderful year for english football, to have the champions elite competitions, to have them all held by english clubs in -- is have them all held by english clubs in —— is incredible. have them all held by english clubs in -- is incredible. and kevin keegan said he thought in many ways, it says a lot about the quality of the teams, he thought the reserve tea m the teams, he thought the reserve team was as good, if not better, than the liverpool first 11. in terms of the quality, it is quite a golden team, isn't it? and there it is, and when you see people like sergio aguero who scored the first

goal down in brighton, he isn't yet 30 but he has been extraordinary. all of their players have stuck together, knuckle down and got the job done for the second year in a i’ow job done for the second year in a row and when you compare that to manchester united, his players seem to be completely capitulating and the whole club seems to be falling apart? it is that team ethic and even with all of that money, what is extraordinary about what pep guardiola has done is even with all of that cash, he has galvanised them and they are a proper team, not a load of superstar premier league players on millions of pounds per year doing their thing, they are a proper team. they have won their second title in a row. and here is vincent company, the captain, celebrating among fans posing for all of those selfies and showing off his premier league medal. that is a man with a grin like a cheshire cat and quite right!

they are looking so good because they didn't want to slip back into they didn't want to slip back into the —— they wanted to slip back into the —— they wanted to slip back into the changing room, they were ready for the several laps of victory which they are entitled, it must be galling if you are watching as a liverpool fan. liverpool have done so well this season but in the end, it was down to the points, as always, and they were scored by a one—point victory, 98—97, as a result of a 4—1 when against brighton. brighton have become manchester city by the sea. this was given priority in home territory, but it was down to manchester city. it will be manchester city in the brighton pubs and clubs this evening, a lovely place to celebrate

victory for vincent company and the rest of the team and a magical night for city fans who were able to be there. we will be telling this story for yea rs there. we will be telling this story for years to come. he will be showing all of his mates at school tomorrow, that picture with the big man. vincent kompany, celebrating manchester city winning the premier league. the education secretary, damian hinds says next week's european elections will be difficult for the conservatives, calling them ‘the ultimate protest vote' for some people. as two opinion polls suggested the brexit party is ahead by a signicant margin, its leader, nigel farage, said he would use a successful result to demand the party is included in the government's eu negotiating team. 0ur chief political correspondent vicki young reports theresa may is keeping faith with her brexit deal but there is little sign she's persuading others to back the plan. the uk is still in the eu and has told european elections. senior conservatives braced for a challenging contest.

these are going to be difficult elections, that much has been clear from the start. for some people this is the ultimate protest vote opportunity, turnouts tend to be quite low in european elections and people do use it as something of a free vote and i think that will be even more true this time. ironically this is in a sense for some people the second referendum. and two opinion polls out today suggest nigel farage's new brexit party could do well. he's back in the spotlight, as outspoken as ever. i'm confident of inflicting damage on his all political enemies. we voted to leave, we did not vote for a deal, we voted to leave once in the referendum, the year after that the labour party and the conservative party promised in their manifestos they would honour the result of the referendum and here we are almost three years on, brexit has not been delivered and given this government and this parliament there is no prospect of these parties delivering a clean break brexit.

brexit talks between the government and labour have been plodding on for weeks and there will be more tomorrow. the opposition say the prime minister is refusing to compromise and that's what's leading to a surge in support for nigel farage. people in this country are angry. they are angry that the referendum result has not been delivered on by an incompetent government and there is a protest which is being signalled by those figures, 34%, saying they would go for brexit. there is no policies on this party, just one. it's that they want to leave the european union without a deal. labour has got problems of its own, some members want the party to be more clear about backing a second referendum like the greens, the snp, plaid cymru and the liberal democrats. if you can attach a peoples vote to the brexit deal we will be able to get that through the houses of parliament because there is enough support for making sure that a deal goes back to the people. that's the obvious way out of this mess. conservatives are trying to play

down the significance of these european elections are still clinging to the hope that meps elected later this month might never take their seats but that depends on the government being able to break the deadlock year at westminster and finally deliver brexit. if they can't story mps fear the party will continue to be punished by voters. theresa may found time for a kickabout this weekend, but if support for the conservatives slumped badly it could be her mps putting the bit in in two weeks' time. and with the campaign for the european parliament elections under way we're going to be speaking to all the main uk parties here on the bbc news channel over the next few weeks. and we want you to send us your questions. on tuesday at 5.30 we'll have nigel farage of the brexit party, then the next day at the same time chuka umunna on change uk. you can email us at askthis@bbc.co.uk, text 61124 or use social media with the hashtag #bbcaskthis.

three people travelling on a light aircraft have had a lucky escape after it crashed on a dual carriageway between raglan and abergavenny in south wales. it's thought it hit overhead power—cables, which then caused a cardiff to manchester train to make an emergency stop. eyewitnesses saw the plane burst into flames shortly after those on board were pulled from the wreakage. david grundy reports. eyewitnesses have been describing the shock but also relief saying it was a medical nobody died or was more seriously injured. a light aircraft with three people on board came down this morning near abergavenny hitting power lines before bursting into flames on a dual carriageway. anthony lives just metres away from where the plane came down. i heard of this tremendous bang. then the power went off. and my wife was in the field with the dog. she came and said a plane had just hit our telegraph for the transformer on and landed

on the motorway and it was on fire. motorists pulled three people from the wreckage were then treated by paramedics at the scene. all three are said to be in hospital but with only minor injuries. the wreckage of the light aircraft is through these species bind me on the a40 dual carriageway. the plane or what is left of it is upside down on the dual carriageway on the central reservation with its wheels the air. the investigation into exactly how this happened is under way. meanwhile, the main railway line between newport and hereford has been closed until power lines have been made safe. motorists have been asked to avoid the area and use alternative routes. locals here say it's a miracle nobody else was on the road. the headlines on bbc news...

a thrilling battle for the premier league crown is over — but manchester city have triumphed following victory over brighton. 11 days to go to the european elections, but the conservatives admit will be difficult for them. the light aircraft that crashed onto a south wales road — three people were pulled from the wreckage. the un secretary general has warned that politicians are not doing enough to tackle climate change. speaking in new zealand ahead of a tour of the pacific islands, antonio guterres, warned that the world was "not on track" to limiting global temperature rises. sunita jaswal reports. it was a warm welcome to new zealand for antonio guterres, but his message was direct. the world is facing a climate emergency. there's also another reason why he's there. he's coincided his three—day visit to meet leaders and show solidarity during the muslim holy month

of ramadan, just less than two months after 50 muslims were killed ina terror attack on two mosques in christchurch. the visit will include travelling to the islands in the pacific region, low—lying countries that could disappear completely because of the rise in sea levels. they are really in the front line of the dramatic impact of climate change. we absolutely must be able to stop these dramatic trends, to reverse these dramatic trends. we cannot allow for a runaway climate change. we need to protect the lives of our people and we need to protect our planet. speaking about the recent floods in mozambique he said the world is feeling the effects of climate change faster than the human efforts to tackle it. while the paris agreement on climate change aims to try to limit global temperatures to 1.5 celsius, antonio guterres says politicians aren't doing enough. and the paradox is that as things are getting worse on the ground, political will seems to be fading. however, he praised new zealand, saying all

other countries should follow its lead after it introduced a zero carbon bill earlier this week. climate change is not just about humans. it's also about wildlife. take polar bears, for example. global warming means there's less sea ice for them to hunt seals on, limiting their access to food, and threatening their survival. then you have african elephants. they need to drink 225 litres of water a day. so changing weather patterns means risking their lives to travel further into unprotected areas to rehydrate. the ramping up of diplomacy will lead to a climate action summit at the un in september, an event that's been billed as a last chance to prevent irreversible climate change. 0rganised crime is a "chronic and corrosive" threat to the uk and more money is needed to tackle it. that's according to the national crime agency, which says organised criminals are killing more british people

a year than terrorism, war and natural disasters. it comes ahead of an annual assessment on tuesday which will look at how gangs are exploiting advances in technology. 0ur reporterjames waterhouse has more. this is a tone of urgency from the director. she says that a backdrop of extremism and technological advances, series and organised crime is changing fast and law—enforcement need significant investment to help deal with that. the nca say that local, well, not local, but dangerous criminal gangs are dominating communities and take cou nty dominating communities and take county lines, where inner—city gangs set up drug networks to supply, not only are they using traditional violent networks but combining that with being technologically savvy, with being technologically savvy, with the dark web, another online world, only accessible with certain software. the nca say they detect people doing it but that isn't

without future funding. james ward has talking about what lynne 0wens, the boss of the national crime agency, has been saying. police in northallerton are appealing for information after a 15—year—old girl collapsed in a car park, and later died. it's believed she had taken mdma. detectives are warning anyone who has taken the drug recently to get medical help if they feel unwell. a mexican wrestler who gained internationalfame in a hollywood film has died during a show in london. cesar barron, who is known by his stage name "silver king", appeared in the film "nacho libre" with jack black in 2005. he was performing in camden, north london, when he collapsed in the ring. mexican media are reporting that he suffered a heart attack. president rouhani of iran has warned his country that it is facing difficult times ahead because of renewed us sanctions. addressing a meeting of political actvists, he said iran could be facing even greater economic problems than in the 1980s when it was subject to international trade restrictions during the war with iraq. andy beatt reports.

american military might en route to the gulf. warships, bombers and missiles, intended to send a clear message to tehran. but it's notjust about fire power. tough new us sanctions are raising temperatures further. iran's president is feeling the heat. the pressures by our enemies, he said, is a war unprecedented in the history of our islamic revolution. during the war we did not have a problem with our banks, oil sales, imports or exports. but i don't despair. i have great hope for the future provided we are united. his rallying cry comes amid growing anger at a slump in the economy caused by sanctions and sustained pressure from washington over the country's nuclear programme.

translation: we are here today to defend our right to nuclear technology. this is a right of all nations and the islamic republic has used this right, but they have intensified sanctions and made life very hard for the iranian people. protesters here back president rouhani's recent threat to restart nuclear activities, but that risks killing the landmark nuclear deal that america pulled out of a year ago, a decision robustly defended on saturday by the us secretary of state. we struck a terrible agreement with the islamic republic of iran that put the regime's campaigns of terrorism and proxy wars on steroids. as its military build—up continues, the pentagon claims iran was preparing to stage attacks against us forces or interests. that is dismissed as fake intelligence by tehran. it says whatever the pressure it

will not be intimidated by psychological warfare. here, the annual list of the richest people in britain is out — and it reveals that there's now a record 15! billionaires in the country. together they hold a combined wealth of 525 billion pounds, and london is home to more billionaires than any other city in the world. that's according to the sunday times. john mcmanus reports. if you woke up this morning to find that once again you haven't made it onto the sunday times rich list, well, don't be too envious. the very well—heeled can afford the largest yachts but life is not all plain sailing for the captains of industry. one of the most famous names, philip green, fell out with the british establishment over the collapse of his high street chain bhs and harassment claims, which he strongly denies. it is notjust his reputation that has plummeted. the sunday times says he lost over £1 billion and is now merely a multimillionaire.

the top dogs of the list for the third time are the hinduja brothers, who made their £22 billion fortune in energy, property and finance. we've been much better off and richer as a nation. at numberfive is sirjames dyson, under some flak for deciding to move his head office from the uk to singapore. he hoovered up an extra £3 billion, bringing him a tidy sum of 12.6 billion. it is stormzy here. 25—year—old grime artist stormzy is a new entrant to the list. worth 16 million. he uses some of his money to support two scholarships for black students at cambridge. fellow musician ed sheeran has doubled his net worth which is now £180 million. and if you do find some spare gold bars down the back of the sofa, the equality trust says it is asking the rich list members to support higher taxes on their wealth to solve inequality.

feels like and floating like a bird. i asked my doctor about this and he told me i can do anything i want, so this is what i'm doing. if all this proves something, is that a husband should never doubt his wife. i liked that! that was wonderful! bill, you were wrong. i had a wonderful time. i'm still alive and i'm in one piece. and you can probably guess what rosie is planning for her 90th birthday. yes, back up into the skies! chris buckler, bbc news, washington. now it's time for a look at the weather with chris fawkes. hello there. a dry and sunny day for most parts of the uk. we lost those showers we have had in recent days and replace them with dry weather and replace them with dry weather and sunny skies. some fair weather cloud bubbling up in the skies in

hello this is bbc news with shaun ley. the headlines — a thrilling battle for the premier league crown — but manchester city have triumphed, following victory over brighton. but it meant heartbreak

for liverpool — who finished a single point behind after an extraordinary run — losing one game all season. 11 days to go to the european elections, that the conservatives admit will be difficult for them. the light aircraft that crashed onto a south wales road — three people were pulled from the wreckage. us—iran tensions — president rouhani warns his country of difficult times ahead because of renewed american sanctions. the national crime agency says more people are killed by organised crime gangs than by war, terrorism and natural disasters combined. and two bbc dramas go head to head tonight, at the bafta tv awards. martin will be yet with more news at

7pm. now on bbc news it's time for sportsday. hello and welcome to sportsday, i'm gavin ramjaun. manchester city have won the premier league title. victory at brighton secures pep guardiola back to back trophies. an ecstatic day for them. reaction on the way. so heartbreak for liverpool — they pushed city all the way, despite a final day win over wolves at anfield. and tottenham seal a top four place — a draw with everton enough, meaning their north london rivals arsenal miss out. also coming up in the programme... it's another mercedes one—two. lewis hamilton leads the team home in spain — to move top of the f1 standings. hello and welcome to sportsday, i'm gavin ramjaun.

manchester city are the premier league champions. pep guardiola's side beat brighton four goals to one to take the title by a single point on the final day. it's a special day for manager pep guardiola, winning back to back titles in england. so, delight for city — their players and fans celebrating now, after a long hard season, where they were pushed all the way by liverpool. 0ur sports correspondent natalie pirks is live, in brighton for us, at the amex stadium for us. a huge relief for city, taking home the trophy they so desired. how did the game unfold? well, this was quite astonishing, this title race. the most brilliant title race we've seen for a long time. remember, the lead changed hands 32 times before this match. liverpool at one point were seven points clear so the way that city reeled them in was magnificent.

truly. this is now back to back titles, the first team to do that in the premier league for a decade and don't forget city could still take an unprecedented domestic trouble if they beat watford in the fa cup final. of all the things going on on the pitch, of the pitch they still have the fact that uefa are looking into financialfair have the fact that uefa are looking into financial fair play potential breaches and they have one of the most expensive squads in europe so some people are talking about the money they have thrown at this but for the fans that made this journey down here today, they didn't care about any of that and they just wa nted about any of that and they just wanted to end the season on a high. they didn't care how they did it, frankly, but they ended up doing it in some style.

victory would see manchester city with another premier league title. it was all in city's hands. it didn't make things any less tense. every shot was agonising to watch. this came alive in an extraordinary 90 seconds, brighten playing their pa rt 90 seconds, brighten playing their part in an already dramatic day. the headerfrom marie part in an already dramatic day. the header from marie putting part in an already dramatic day. the headerfrom marie putting them ahead and city behind in the title race. within seconds they were level, sergio aguero with another contribution. before the break, things had turned around lately. laporte changing the blue mood in brighton. manchester city now back in control, the title within their grasp. a third would almost certainly seal it and it came in spectacularfashion certainly seal it and it came in spectacular fashion from mahrez. certainly seal it and it came in spectacularfashion from mahrez. a moment of brilliance and the nerves we re moment of brilliance and the nerves were starting to quell. a special

goal. the free kick from gundogan kicking off the celebrations for real. after the most extraordinary season in years, manchester city are once more champions. already on their way up to salivate with fans. a title victory today. liverpool, meanwhile, pipped bya point. it is unfortunate to think that aside lost one game all season, that aside lost one game all season, that loss to city, would be the team to lose the league. steven gerrard says they have the champions league final to look forward to and that might even take on an even greater significance than it had before. thank you, natalie. but in manchester, at the etihad

stadium thousands have gathered — to enjoy the celebrations in the city. here's how a few of them have been reacting. i never thought i'd see it. i am 50 this year and i never thought i would see this year on year and celebrating like this, i can't think of anything better. i'm dead emotional and it's going to make me cry. for city, i never thought we'd do anything, let alone the premier league, put it that way. it's amazing because to do it two years on the bounce, it's always something united have done in the premier league and the fact that we have passed them over recent years is amazing and this is one of the best team i've ever seen. patrick gearey is there amongst them for us. fans must now feel the tension has lifted somewhat. how did they react seeing the game on the big screen outside the stadium. i'm not sure if you can see but

behind me we've had quite some party here this afternoon, where thousands are watching the screens here. when liverpool went ahead, when brighton went in front of city, the mood was anxious and there was panic in the air but thenjust anxious and there was panic in the air but then just 80 seconds later, sergio aguero levelled and you could feel the relief outside the stadium here. when a second was headed in before the break, it was outright jubilation. it might have all been different had the opposition scored but then mahrez scored the third and the superb free kick from gundogan meant everyone could just enjoy the afternoon and enjoy the beautiful sunshine we've had in manchester and enjoy their side lifting the premier league trophy for the second straight season. a beautiful day. the sun is out and

fa ns a beautiful day. the sun is out and fans are partying. is there going to bea fans are partying. is there going to be a party there later? the evening looks like it will be a long one because manchester city players are going to fly from brighton to manchester and they are going to lift the trophy all over again in front of their fans here at the stadium. quite the afternoon after quite some season. these funds have been through a range of emotions this afternoon and through the season. they were chasing liverpool for so long. this evening will be an opportunityjust to enjoy it. thank you very much, patrick. the players and the fans will know about enjoying themselves this evening. so liverpool — just missing out on the title — a first in 29 years. sadio mane scored twice in a 2—0 win. at one point in the first half, with liverpool leading and city losing — the title was heading to anfield.

but it wasn't to be as nick parrott reports. after a week of shocks involving english football, livable and their fa ns were english football, livable and their fans were hoping for one more improbable upset. this time, their destiny wasn't in their hands. even victory over wolves at anfield wouldn't be enough unless brighton could deny manchester city three points. liverpool were determined to fulfil their part of the deal and sadia marnie sent them on their way with quarter of an hour gone. then there were more celebrations, but it wasn't clear what for. fans wrongly heard brighton had scored moments before they actually did. with city equalising almost instantly, the attention turned to their phones. then the news they didn't want to hear, city were ahead. the subdued atmosphere didn't help liverpool on the pitch, with matt doherty almost equalising. with wolves starting to make things uncomfortable, another goal was vital. the striker came up short without being substituted.

then another goal became irrelevant asa then another goal became irrelevant as a city increased their lead and liverpool fans responded with defiance. there was a small consolation. liverpool broke records this season but it wasn't enough. now they will have to pick themselves up to add to another in three weeks' time in madrid. congratulations to manchester city, well done. i have to say, yeah, we tried everything to make it as difficult for you as possible. i think we did, but not difficult enough. that's the only thing. apart from that 97 points, i couldn't be more proud of the boys. it isjust incredible what they did, what they did the whole season, what they did today with a very strange situation, dealing with it. so we were in the

game until1—0, we dealing with it. so we were in the game until 1—0, we were really good until then. what happened meant it was very clear we couldn't tell the people calm down at ryton. it doesn't say everything and everyone knows that. immediately wolves were there. at the end we scored two goals, got another clean sheet. so it's nice but of course not exactly how we wanted it. with lost one game all season. we tried everything to win. we've done everything in every game. so you can't look back on anything. we've given everything for the whole season. we just ran out of time, run out of games and city have been amazing as well, a fantastic side. you got to take your hat off to them that next season, after a break— we

will need a break after the champions league final— hopefully is a good one after that. then hopefully next season we will come out fighting again and give everything to try and get the premier league. so liverpool so close to theirfirst league title in 29 years. let's hear now from some of their fans who were at anfield today it's hard to get 97 points and not win. it's not over yet. we got to move forward now. hopefully fingers crossed for next year. it's all about the champions league now. we are going to get the champions league. city have been fantastic. it was one point, but what a magnificent season for all. for the english games. point, but what a magnificent season for all. for the english gamesm doesn't get much better. very disappointing but we played our pa rt very disappointing but we played our part today, we won the game and that's all we can do. city have done better than us. i'm

so proud of the team. to push the barrier on manchester city has been a tremendous effort and a brilliant season. it was a fantastic season and it's a disappointment we couldn't make it, but we still got the champions league so i'm sure we will win something. away from the title race, tottenham confirmed their place in the top four. they drew 2—2 with everton in theirfinal match. eric dier gave them the lead before goals from theo walcott and cenk tosun saw everton on course to end the season on a high. but christian eriksen snatched a point for the home side, 15 minutes from time. it's a top four finish for a fourth successive season for tottenham. everton finish the season in eighth. i want to congratulate my players, and superheroes. there was the option of the finish in the top four and never was to play the final but the ambition that we showed during

the ambition that we showed during the whole season brought the club to play in the final and of course to be in the champions league season. i think it's a massive achievement. at the start of the day, arsenal had an outside chance of finishing in the top four. but tottenham's result brought an end to any hope they had. arsenal did end the season with a win — beating burnley 3—1 at turf moor. pierre emerick aubameyang scored twice for arsenal — it means he ends the season as the league's joint top scorer — with 22 goals alongside liverpool's sadio mane and mohamed salah. plenty of goals in the day's other games. eight goals in the match between crystal palace and bournemouth. 5—3 to palace there. michy batshuayi with two. newcastle hammered already relegated fulham 4—0. big result for rafa benitez there — speculation over his future as manager continues. west ham finish in the top 10, with that 4—1 win over watford. and manchester united end the season on a sour note — they lost 2—0 to cardiff at old trafford. cardiff hadn't beaten united in the league, since 1960.

and this is how the top of the table looks. manchester city clinching the title by a single point. 98 points for them — after their record 14th successive win — making it 32 in all. liverpool's win over wolves sees them with 97 points. an astonishingly high total for the team finishing second. chelsea's goalless draw with leicester means they end up 3rd. confirmation of man united in 6th. and the relegation spots decided before today. but it's huddersfield, fulham and cardiff who'll be in the championship next season. brighton finishing two points above cardiff. newcastle's win moved them about bournemouth. well, of course it's also play—off time in the other leagues, and in league one — charlton have the advantage over doncaster, after the first leg of their semi—final. charlton won 2—1 today, scoring twice in the space of two first—half minutes, through lyle taylor and joe aribo. doncaster did pull a goal backjust before full time but charlton are at home for the second leg on friday. rangers have secured back—to—back home wins over celtic

for the first time in seven years. they got the ideal start, with james tavernier scoring from a free kick within two minutes. and midway through the second half, scott arfield made it 2—nil. that was rangers' sixth win in a row and takes them to within six points of their city rivals. but with the title already returning to celtic park, this was a real signal of intent ahead of next season. it was also a first defeat in 16 games for celtic in the league. dundee managerjim mcintyre has left the club after their relegation from the scottish premiership. it comes a day after dundee ended a run of 10 consecutive defeats with a 1—0 win away to livingston. lewis hamilton has won the spanish grand prix to re—take the lead in the drivers‘ championship. starting from second on the grid again, behind his mercedes team mate valteri bottas, hamilton managed to over—take him on the first bend in barcelona and he held on for the next 66 laps to take the full points. it's his third win of the season.

bottas finished second, ahead of red bull's max verstappen, with ferrari's sebastien vettel in fourth. i wouldn't say that i was reading on my own, i think i obviously got my good start and then once i got ahead, it was just about having your head down and not looking back. really grateful for this incredible tea m really grateful for this incredible team that just really grateful for this incredible team thatjust continue to push the limits, bring some upgrades here this weekend which have really added to the car's performance and we know we are creating history day by day and weekend by weekend and we are incredibly proud to be part of that. but i'm really happy today and i didn't makea but i'm really happy today and i didn't make a single mistake, which is rare. sometimes you look back and see where you made a mistake and you lost a bit of time but i honestly can't recall having a mistake so thatis can't recall having a mistake so that is really positive. warrington wolves have beaten wigan warriors in a really tight match, to reach the quarter—finals of rugby league's challenge cup. warrington were leading 18—12 at the break, before zak hardaker went over to level the scores and with it still level at 24—all,

man—of—the match stefan ratchford's penalty goal gave warrington the narrowest of victories — 26—24 the final score. they play hull kr next. also hoping for a place in the quarter finals are st helens and huddersfield. st helens, who are currently top of super league went ahead early on. butjoe wardle crossed overfor huddersfield, to make it all square. st helen's though, came back and are currently leading 12—10 atjohn smith's stadium. pascal ackermann has won stage two at the giro d'italia. the german rider beat a world—class field of sprinters at the end of the 205—kilometre run from bologna to fucecchio to claim the victory. the top end of the general classication remains unchanged with primoz roglic keeping the pink jersey and britain's simon yates following close behind in second. the swedish golfer marcus kinhult produced nerves of steel to win the british masters in southport. kinhult had the lead, then lost it, and with the prospect of a four—way play—off looming, he needed a birdie at the last for victory — and he made it, to win by a single shot from a group including england's matt wallace. this is kinhult‘s first

european tour title. great britain's men have won a bronze medal at the world relay championships in the 4x100m in yokohama, japan. nethaneel mitchell—bla ke anchored the team, and caught china to secure third place. the british quartet ran a world leading time yesterday, but it was beaten today by the gold medal winners, brazil. gb will be looking to retain their world championship relay title in doha later this year. great britain will face off in their second game at the ice hockey world championship in slovakia in just under half an hour. they lost their first game 3—1 to germany at the same venue yesterday. this time britain are taking on the 26 times winners canada. we can go live now to kosice and join our ice hockey reporter seth bennett, seth — this is a real tall orderfor gb. it is amazing. when you say it six time champion, it sends a shudder up

the spine. canada is probably the biggest ice hockey nation in the world and they have had so much success world and they have had so much su ccess over world and they have had so much success over the years, and that's what it means that the british fans to come here and see their team play against the canadiens, with the massive super—size on their team. it's going to be really tough. the last time they played was 25 years ago back in 1994, when canada run out 8—2 victors. we are looking all the way back to the 1930s for the last british win. canada are a massive favourites. it is around 60-1 massive favourites. it is around 60—1 for great britain to get a result in this game. canada lost their first result in this game. canada lost theirfirst game, result in this game. canada lost their first game, not looking result in this game. canada lost theirfirst game, not looking great, but this is a massive, massive order for great britain to get anything out of the fixture. how do you assess the chances of tea m how do you assess the chances of team gb at the championships? how are they varying overall?

they are doing well. the performance against germany was good, if i'm being honest. the aim is that they don't finish bottom of the table come the end of the championship. to highlight the gulf, canada's salaries and up to $60 million. the british players, it's not going to ta ke british players, it's not going to take them close enough to £1 million. that is the massive difference between the sides. they have to make sure that they have two games they can win between now and the end of the tournament. 0ne games they can win between now and the end of the tournament. one is against denmark and the final game against denmark and the final game against france. if they went one or both of those games, great britain are highly likely to avoid relegation, and that has to be their aim. nights like tonight for the fans, and you can see some of them going on behind me, they are special and they will live long in the memory of many british hockey fans. indeed. that's all from sportsday. we'll have more throughout the evening.

hello. it has been a lovely day today unless you are a liverpool fan, of course. we have seen a lot more sunshine around today and temperatures have been higherfor many parts of the country. definitely the best day of the weekend. some weather watcher pictures to start with. you can see how limited the bubbly cloud was. a dry day and this is the extent of the cumulus cloud that bubbled up today. this cloud a bit more significant, making the central and more hazy across northern ireland, pushing its way across northern parts of scotland overnight and could produce a bit of rain towards the northern isles. very tenuous cloud and we are going to find it

only quite chilly as well. lowest temperatures for the eastern side of england and a touch of frost for east anglia. not as called for a northern scotland because of the cloud. they won't be a great deal of cloud. they won't be a great deal of cloud as we had well into next week and it will be a little bit warmer as well. this is the reason it is dry— this area of high pressure sitting around the uk. we have some stronger breezes. a southerly breeze of putting its way into northern ireland and western scotland. sunshine a little bit hazy for northern areas but it won't really spoil the day with plenty of central time to come. rising temperatures. 20 degrees likely for western parts of northern ireland and around the moray firth. indeed he is dead, not a lot changes. still dry with more ofa a lot changes. still dry with more of a breeze. —— on tuesday, not a lot changes. temperatures hitting 21

degrees in the central belt of scotland. spot the difference on wednesday. may be more of a breeze across southern parts of england but those warmer winds pushing their way into northern ireland and north—west england. this is probably when we will have the peak of the heat, at 23 or 24 degrees into northern parts of scotla nd 23 or 24 degrees into northern parts of scotland or 14 or 17 in the north—east of england. starting to move towards scandinavia, where we will pick up a bit more of a breeze. lower pressure towards the near continent bringing some cloud and rain towards the end of the week. temperatures will be dropping thanks to that easterly breeze so the last of the warmth for more westerly parts of the uk. some cloud and rain possible on friday but where it will end up, the details are a little bit uncertain.

this is bbc news. i'm martine croxall. the headlines at seven... a thrilling battle for the premier league crown — manchester city triumphed, but heartbreak for liverpool — who finished a single point behind. congratulations to manchester city, well done. i have to say, yeah, we tried everything to make it is difficult for you as possible. umm, i think we did, but not difficult enough. 11 days to go to the european elections, that the conservatives admit will be difficult for them. the light aircraft that crashed onto a south wales road — three people were pulled from the wreckage. stars gather in london for this year's bafta tv awards — killing eve leads the pack with five nominations.
