10:01 pm
a bomb left under a serving police officer's car in belfast was "intended to kill", say detectives, who believe "violent dissident republicans" were behind it. and in rugby union, saracens do the double — beating exeter in a thrilling premiership final. and at 10:30pm and again at 11:30pm, we'll be taking an in—depth look at the papers with our reviewers. stay with us for that. good evening. liverpool have just become champions league winners in madrid, as they beat spurs 2—0. the champions league is football's top club competition. hugh woozencroft is there.
10:02 pm
he is imagery. fantastic when?‘ fantastic night for supporters of liverpool. they have beaten totte n ha m liverpool. they have beaten tottenham hotspur 2—0. very disappointed tottenham fans beginning to spill from the stadium, but huge cheers coming from deliverable fans who will remain in sight to see their side lift the trophy injust a sight to see their side lift the trophy in just a few moments —— coming from liverpool fans who will remain in sight. liverpool accrued 97 points in the premier league, a great evening for them nonetheless. the game really hinged on a huge moment afterjust moments. the referee judging moussa sissoko moment afterjust moments. the refereejudging moussa sissoko to moment afterjust moments. the referee judging moussa sissoko to of handle the ball. i think it was the correct one in the end. it was
10:03 pm
converted by mo salah comfortably pass hugo lloris. it was scrappy. many feeling the three week gap between the end of the premier league season and now, coupled with the fact it was 30 degrees inside the fact it was 30 degrees inside the stadium, contributed to a lack of quality throughout. the second goal came near the end. substitute divock 0rigi scored in the semifinal against barcelona. he came off the bench to really produce the only moments of genuine quality in the match, a beautiful left—footed strike. that was the nail in the coffin for spurs in their first champions league final. they were aiming to win theirfirst champions league final. they were aiming to win their first silverware under their manager riccio pochettino. that accolade the set goes tojuergen klopp, and goes to
10:04 pm
ending a record. six losses in finals for him. last year, they were beaten in the final bite real madrid, but they have avenged defeat last year to secure their sixth european cup title. they now move up to third on the all—time list, as i say, add of bayern munich and barcelona. a fantastic evening for the fans in the stadium and the thousands passing to the night here in madrid. that all english final. thank you, hugh. lots of celebrations happening in madrid, i am sure. more pictures coming in here from one of those fans owes. this is liverpool fans celebrating,
10:05 pm
you can see those redshirts there. a 2-0 you can see those redshirts there. a 2—0 when for the team, their sixth trophy they have taken, and fantastic to see the ages represented there. it was a good start, in the first minute, most a scoring the goal. 0ur reporter, simon jones is at a pub with tottenham fans in north london. liverpool were the favourite from the outset. tottenham, the underdogs, but a huge achievement nevertheless. a huge achievement but the fence here wanted victory. if you take a look down there, now the final whistle has gone, pretty glum faces, people enjoying the atmosphere but it's all ended not the way they wanted. spurs getting off to the worst possible start, conceding that penalty within just a couple of minutes, and then
10:06 pm
conceding that second goal in the second half. let's speak now to a glum spurs fan. still a smile on your face! glum spurs fan. still a smile on yourface! how are glum spurs fan. still a smile on your face! how are you feeling?” glum spurs fan. still a smile on your face! how are you feeling? i am pretty got it all right. really sad. looking forward to this for weeks and weeks, and you can't help but dream, fantasise about that moment when we lift the cup, but it wasn't to be. it was a very competitive game, a very close game, but it was just a few moments that made the difference. conceding the penalty, your view on that? the penalty itself? i don't know. if it fits your chest and bumped up to the arm, it's real dangerous. if you make your body bigger, it is interpreted as handball with your arm. he wasn't trying. definitely wasn't intentional but i think the way that the rule is interpreted now, the ref
10:07 pm
is probably going to point to the spot, isn't he? overall, proud of the achievements? usually proud. i never thought we would get to the final in the first place. hopefully would win but if we would not win, liverpool is a quality team. i am super proud. commiseration. he is super proud. commiseration. he is super proud. commiseration. he is super proud. not the result the fans wa nted super proud. not the result the fans wanted here in north london, but going away with that sense of pride. simonjones, going away with that sense of pride. simon jones, thank you going away with that sense of pride. simonjones, thank you very much. you're watching bbc news. president trump has broken diplomatic convention by publicly commenting on the conservative leadership race. ahead of next week's state visit, he told the sun newspaper that boris johnson would make an "excellent" prime minister. he also commended the foreign secretaryjeremy hunt, who's also running for leader, but was critical of another candidate, michael gove.
10:08 pm
here's our political correspondent iain watson. politics, like comedy, can be all about timing. donald trump's three—day state visit will comejust ahead of the conservative leadership contest, and perhaps unsurprisingly, he's been signalling support for a blonde haired and occasionally gaffe prone big beast, telling a uk newspaper that borisjohnson would be excellent. i've always liked him. i don't know that he's going to be chosen, but i think he's a very good guy, a very talented person. he's been very positive about me and our country. and the president claimed that other candidates have asked for his support. other people have asked me for an endorsement, i've been asked for endorsements. state visits are supposed to be diplomatic, not political occasions, but diplomacy and etiquette aren't really donald trump's strong points. and he's not alone in this, because four years ago as london mayor, borisjohnson
10:09 pm
accused donald trump of stupefying ignorance, and suggested he wasn't fit to hold the office of us president. ah, how things change. this conservative leadership contender said in any case, an endorsement from donald trump could be seen in a more negative light. i think you have to ask boris whether that helps or hinders boris's campaign, but what i would say is that i am very proud as foreign secretary that we have the best relationship with the united states. and another runner in the conservative leadership race didn't get the thumbs up from the president. he was annoyed by michael gove's suggestion that he'd been sabre rattling over iran's nuclear programme. the white house insists that donald trump hasn't formally endorsed a leadership candidate. but some aspiring occupants of number 10 will be bracing themselves over the next few days, unsure if they're going to be praised or buried by the unspoken vip visitor.
10:10 pm
iain watson, bbc news, westminster. earlier, i spoke to david dunn — head of the department of political science and international studies at the university of birmingham — and asked him whether trump's comments would be received as a help or a hindrance to the tory leadership candidates. that is the big question — of course, will the trump endorsement actually help your candidacy or perhaps even hinder it? or, more likely, just make no difference at all? trump flatters himself by saying his endorsement can make a a0 or 50 point difference. that might work in west virginia or alabama but doesn't work in the uk. i think his endorsement will be minimal, in terms of the impact it has on the conservative party race. but it may actually be about his reliability and collectibility but it may actually be about his reliability and predictability
10:11 pm
as a partner in politics. 0bviously, next week, we have the visit, he will be spending time in the united kingdom. what big issues is he likely to put on the agenda? state visits are meant to be symbolic, and they are meant to be about reaffirming the deep—rooted relationships between states. but trump has proved to be incapable of not actually raising controversial issues. there are major differences in this administration's approach, very much an america first agenda. so, for example, his pushing for a harder line against iran, he didn't like the fact that gove describes him as sabre rattling over the iran relationship. differences over climate policy, differences over trade policies, particularly with regard to china.
10:12 pm
he is saying, up front, challenging the five is intelligence sharing arrangement that britain has had with the united states since the 1940s, saying if you go with huawei in anotherform, you risk losing access to american intelligence. also pushing for... an american president who has a very different agenda, one that is very much focused on getting what is good for america rather than thinking about systemic international relations and global government issues more broadly. bearing that in mind, of the front runners currently, which individual, taking their characteristics into consideration, would be best suited to work with donald trump? he is very erratic and unpredictable. as far as trump is concerned, he is flattered by the factjohnson has said nice things about him. and supporting johnson because trump would rather work with europe fragmented. america, in its individual power relationship, has a better chance of getting a good deal. as far as trump is concerned,
10:13 pm
he likes to be disrupted as far as trump is concerned, he likes to be disruptive and likes other disru ptors. he likes to shake things up, things he certainly has done to the international system. whether those qualities are best mirrored by a british prime minister is a different thing. a more steady hand and a more constant force, a more stable and predictable prime minister, may be a more constant response to somebody who is erratic. david dunn of the university of birmingham. mr trump has also responded to comments made by the duchess of sussex, who has been critical in the past of the us president. ahead of the 2016 us presidential election, the la—born duchess backed mr trump's rival hillary clinton and suggested she would leave the us if he won. when asked by the sun about the comments, mr trump said he had not been aware of them, adding: "what can i say? i didn't know that she was nasty." but mr trump said meghan would make
10:14 pm
"a very good" american princess, adding he thought it was "nice" she had joined the royal family. the formerjustice secretary, the labour peer lord falconer, says the party should expel a prominent party member who was suspended yesterday. peter willsman is accused of saying the israeli embassy was "almost certainly" behind complaints of anti—semitism. lord falconer is leading labour's inquiry into the claims. earlier today, he spoke to the bbc about the current position of the claims and the process. well, first of all, my task is now effectively being done by the equalities commission, that are launching a full—blown investigation into allegations of anti—semitism in the labour party. the issue of pete willsman is an acid test for the labour party. pete willsman has, in this recording that was published by a radio station yesterday, said that the allegations of anti—semitism in the labour party are, in effect, orchestrated by the israeli embassy.
10:15 pm
that is a conspiracy theory which has absolutely no foundation whatsoever. if you were a member of the jewish community, it would give you little hope that the labour party would deal fairly with allegations of anti—semitism, if somebody on its main ruling body — the national executive committee — had those views. it's right that he's been suspended, but the next step for the labour party is to deal with the disciplinary case against him as quickly as possible because, otherwise, people will have little confidence in our setting ourface strongly against anti—semitism. lord falconer. let's go back to our top story — where liverpool have won the champions league for the sixth time, beating spurs 2—0. 0ur correspondent, stuart flinders, was at an event in the heart of liverpool that was being held in association with bt sport. he gave us the reaction from the liverpool fans. most of these fans arrived here full
10:16 pm
of confidence. they're convinced that this was going to be liverpool's here. but even they couldn't have imagined liverpool getting off to the start, a penalty in the opening couple of minutes, mo salah placed the ball on the spot, and this place fell clearly silent. it was like a church in here will stability ball hit the back of the nets, the place went up in the nose could have been heard halfway to madrid. the rest of the game seemed pretty quiet, certainly the fence here felt quiet as they took in what happened. they watched the clock tick away and then finally, near the end of the match, that second school sealed it for them. the crowd went wild again and they knew... they thought before they came here this was going to be liverpool's year, and they knew for certain it is. stuart flinders with liverpool fans. northern ireland's chief constable says there was an attempt
10:17 pm
to murder one of his officers in belfast this afternoon. a bomb was found under a car at a golf club in the east of the city. the officer had been playing at the club and was preparing to leave. the club has been evacuated and other vehicles in the car park have been checked. the uk border force says it's has intercepted 7a people including children from eight small boats attempting to cross seven of the boats were intercepted in the channel and one further vessel was recovered near winchelsea in east sussex. the home secretary sajid javid said the number of people crossing the channel is "deeply concerning". last month, a record 140 migrants crossed the english channel. the former arsenal player jose antonio reyes has died in a car accident in spain at the age of 35. reyes spent three seasons at arsenal and was part of the famous "invincibles" side which won the 2004 premier league title without a single defeat. he also had spells with atletico madrid, real madrid and sevilla.
10:18 pm
in a moment, we'll bejoined by viewers from bbc one for the bbc late news. now it's time for a look at the weather with ben rich. good evening. the ist ofjune brought a burst of sunshine and heat — for some of us at least. hastings got in on the act, this beautiful weather watcher shot showing blue skies overhead. some pretty high temperatures. temperatures across iberia into the 30s and the heat dragged northwards into the south—east, particularly. temperatures getting above 27 across south—east england, but notice it was not as warm further north and west, particularly across scotland and northern england, largely because of extra cloud here and some outbreaks of rain at times. split fortunes during today. as we go through tonight, we continue to see outbreaks of rain. in fact, some heavy rain moving across northern ireland and scotland. some showery rain getting into parts of wales and the western side of england.
10:19 pm
increasingly breezy through the night, dry to the south—east. but for all of us, humid and quite muggy. minimum temperatures for southern scotland into england, wales and northern ireland between 12 and 16 degrees. but low—pressure becomes increasingly dominant as we go through tomorrow, various fronts spiralling around that area of low—pressure, so there will be outbreaks of rain. heavy rain initially across scotland and then this band of cloud and showery rain pushing eastwards out of northern ireland into south—east scotland, northern england, wales and the south—west. could be the odd rumble of thunder, and as that band of cloud and showery rain drifts eastwards, it squashes heat increasingly into the south—eastern corner. eastern parts of england, again, during tomorrow seeing temperatures to 26 to 27 degrees. cooler west, much cooler temperatures. cloud and showery rain pushing eastwards. quite breezy as well. it will brighten up in northern ireland, although further showers will arrive here by the evening, and it will turn very windy here late in the day. across scotland, a fair amount
10:20 pm
of cloud, some showery rain continuing to push eastwards. as we move through sunday night into monday, this deep area of low pressure pushes close to the north of the uk. it will bring some very strong winds across parts of northern ireland and scotland. wind gusts of 40—45 mph. quite a blustery day here on monday with quite a few showers. further south, not as many showers, more dry weather, some spells of sunshine. but for all of us, a cooler feel, 15 to 20 degrees at best. and we keep that relatively cool feel as we head through the week ahead. we will see some rain at times, but equally some spells of sunshine. that's all from me for now.
10:21 pm
10:22 pm
victory for liverpool in the champion league final — they defeat tottenham hotspur in the all—english club match. they lift the most important trophy in club football beating the totte n ha m in club football beating the tottenham 2—0 in madrid. commentator: origi with a chance... surely that wins it for liverpool! this was the goal late in the second half that sealed the victory. it sent liverpool supporters while
10:23 pm
giving the club its sixth european champions title. —— wild. for totte n ha m champions title. —— wild. for tottenha m fa ns, champions title. —— wild. for tottenham fans, huge disappointment after they were 1—0 down afterjust two minutes. also in tonight's programme... in america — 12 people are shot dead by a man police say was a disgruntled worker. and what donald thinks about boris — the president's views on those fighting for the conservative leadership. very good evening, we are in madrid, tha nkfully very good evening, we are in madrid, thankfully the temperature has dipped and liverpool supporters, they will be partying through the night after their club won the champions league, their victory, the
10:24 pm
sixth time at the highest level of european competition. it was 2—0 over tottenham who had the most possession it has to be said but at times the play was sluggish and the temperatures well over 30 degrees throughout the day. elation for the liverpool supporters and for the 17,000 who managed to get tickets to get inside the stadium behind me, and the many more who were watching in bars and clubs in downtown madrid. 0f in bars and clubs in downtown madrid. of course it was disappointment, huge disappointment for the tottenham fans who travelled all the way over here in their first champions league final. we can now get the story of the game. no sign of a siesta in the spanish capital, you may have cost thousands to be here but for the supporters following their team to the grandest stage was priceless, and madrid was a mass of red and white with an estimated 100,000 supporters descending on the city for english
10:25 pm
football's moment in the sunshine. it feels like we are destined to win it, i feel like it it feels like we are destined to win it, ifeel like it is our it feels like we are destined to win it, i feel like it is our year. it feels like we are destined to win it, i feel like it is our yearlj will sit on the floor and cry if we win. i don't have a ticket but i came to be with the beautiful red fans and sing my heart out. came to be with the beautiful red fans and sing my heart outlj came to be with the beautiful red fans and sing my heart out. i think we are going to do it. come on, liverpool. with both teams here after barely believable semifinal comebacks each would have felt distant for this glory but in this the second all premiership champions league final and possibly the biggest game in which football has seen, only one could prevail. a fast start had been expected but not quite this fast. commentator: the referee has given a penalty. 22 seconds before sissoko was penalised for handball, and salah giving liverpool the dream start. spurs have never played on such a stage and they were struggling to impose
10:26 pm
themselves in the heat, and their opponents in this their second successive final threatening to extend their lead in a first half that failed to live up to the billing. spurs as well as the match needing a lift and lucas moura the hero whose hat—trick in the semifinal had propelled them to madrid was summoned from the bench but it was another substitute james milner who came close to an immediate impression. time and time again in this european campaign, spurs have found a way, but when it mattered more than ever they could not find the answer, liverpool's goalkeeper producing a string of saves to deny them the equaliser they crave, but having defended well it was liverpool's attack who proved decisive, divock 0rigi taking his first chance to seal a famous victory. the club's remarkable heritage enriched with a six triumph in this competition, the progress made under managerjurgen klopp finally rewarded. heartbreak for
10:27 pm
spurs, their long wait for a european title continues, and liverpool finally with the silverware their unforgettable season silverware their unforgettable season deserved. we can get a bit more now, this is the showpiece at the end of the season the showpiece at the end of the season for european football and a night that english football will not forget. maybe it was the heat and the three—week lay—off before tonight's match, it wasn't a classic, it was disjointed and not a great advert for english football but try telling that to liverpool supporters, that is a historical victory, it reaffirms their status amongst the giants of the game, they are now third in the all—time list of winners, only real madrid and ac milan are in front of them and they have leapfrogged milan are in front of them and they have lea pfrogged the milan are in front of them and they have leapfrogged the likes of bayern munich and barcelona, and there is also relief, when you consider last yea r‘s defeat also relief, when you consider last year's defeat against real madrid in the final, losing byjust one point in the title race to manchester city, and for the fans and jurgen
10:28 pm
kl°pp, city, and for the fans and jurgen klopp, the prospect of finishing such a season empty—handed would have been almost too much to bear and this was his seventh attempt in and this was his seventh attempt in a final, klopp, but he has finally done it and he is no longer the nearly man. spurs had more at stake and it would have taken them to a new level, they will now have to somehow hang onto their very coveted coach pochettino and we must remember he has not had it —— had a penny to spend in the transfer window, but this night belongs to liverpool and their fans, once again they are conquerors of europe. we have got pictures we can show you from back in the uk, these are liverpool supporters who are enjoying and savouring the moment. remember, they lost by a single point to manchester city in the premier league and this isjurgen klopp's first trophy after six finals. he has finally done it, and
10:29 pm
i should also point out that this is the 30th anniversary of the hillsborough disaster. many of the fa ns hillsborough disaster. many of the fans i have seen here with their liverpool shirts on, they have a 96 at the backjust in honour of those fa ns at the backjust in honour of those fans who died exactly 30 years ago. and with that, it is back to you in the studio, from a colourful madrid. studio: clive, thanks forjoining us. a man described as a disgruntled employee has shot dead 12 people at a local government building in the us state of virginia. all but one of the victims were colleagues of his. police described the scene of the shooting at the complex in virginia beach as "a war zone." chris buckler reports. the police had no choice but to run in the line of fire but little could have prepared them for the carnage they discovered inside this local government building. the office workers were finishing up for the weekend when one
10:30 pm
of their colleagues walked in and started firing shot after shot, indiscriminately killing a dozen people. they said to stay and wait until the cops got there and let us come out. there was probably about 20 of us in an office, crammed in. we barricaded the door. for those that managed to escape the relief was obvious, as others were airlifted to hospital. so far the only explanation that has been offered for all of these deaths and injuries is that the gunman was a disgruntled employee. the suspect, and this will be the only time we announce his name, is dewayne craddock. at a news conference, the authorities were determined to focus on the victims, not their killer. one had worked for the city of virginia beach for more than four decades, another for just 11 weeks. this was a long—term, lack of any other term, running gun battle with this individual. vigils after shootings
10:31 pm
like this in america have become almost a custom, but nothing can prepare people for an attack on their community. my mom works down there and she was there, just trying to call everyone and make sure everyone was ok. it still doesn't even seem real. this is the 150th mass shooting in the us this year. but in the aftermath of these murders many people here did not want to talk about tighter gun controls. a large number of americans still believe in the constitutional right to bear arms, despite the obvious evidence about what easy access to guns allows. chris buckler, bbc news, virginia beach. boris johnson would make an "excellent" prime minister. he also commended the foreign secretary jeremy hunt, who's also running for leader, but was critical of another candidate, michael gove. here's our political
10:32 pm
correspondent iain watson. politics, like comedy, can be all about timing. donald trump's three—day state visit will comejust ahead of the conservative leadership contest, and perhaps unsurprisingly, he's been signalling support for a blonde—haired, occasionally gaffe prone big beast, telling a uk newspaper that borisjohnson would be excellent. i've always liked him. i don't know that he's going to be chosen, but i think he is a very good guy, a very talented person. he's been very positive about me and our country. and the president claimed that other candidates had asked for his support. other people have asked me for an endorsement, i have been asked for endorsements. state visits are supposed to be diplomatic, not political occasions, but diplomacy and etiquette aren't really donald trump's strong points, and he's not alone in this, because four years ago, as london mayor, borisjohnson accused donald trump of "stupefying
10:33 pm
ignorance" and suggested he wasn't fit to hold the office of us president. ah, how things change. this conservative leadership contender said in any case, an endorsement from donald trump could be seen in a more negative light. i think you have to ask boris whether that helps or hinders boris's campaign, but what i would say is that i am very proud as foreign secretary that we have the best relationship with the united states. the white house insists that donald trump hasn't formally endorsed a leadership candidate, but in another newspaper interview, he expresses views on the issue that diivdes them. whether to walk away from the eu without a deal. this is their decision. you're just asking my opinion. if you don't get the deal you want, if you don't get a fair deal, then you walk away. by the end of next month, the uk will have a new prime minister.
10:34 pm
over the next few days, some of the aspiring occupants of number 10 will be bracing themselves, unsure if they'll be praised or buried by the outspoken visitorfrom america. iain watson, bbc news. eight climbers, including four britons, are missing on india's second—highest mountain. the group, which also includes two americans, an australian and an indian, began their ascent of nanda devi almost three weeks ago. rescuers were sent to find them when the group failed to return to base camp. the uk border force intercepted 7a migrants today after eight small boats crossed the english channel. the home office said the men, women and children have had medical examinations. a criminal investigation's been launched. 0ur correspondent, richard galpin, is with me. richard, what more can you tell us? we think this is, according to one mp in the area, a record number of migrants trying to cross the channel, eight boats in total, 7a
10:35 pm
people, and seven of those boats we re people, and seven of those boats were intercepted by the border force and the coast guard, just one boat reached the south coast. 0n and the coast guard, just one boat reached the south coast. on top of that, the french authorities managed to intercept another two boats in french water and i think this is linked to the fact that the weather is good and it is warm and calm and that encourages people to make the crossing. in response there has been a robust statement from the home secretary sajid javid, he has said the numbers of people trying to cross is deeply concerning and they are putting their lives at risk and of course the crossing is very dangerous, the channel is a very dangerous, the channel is a very dangerous and busy shipping lane. the home secretary says he will do everything possible to stop more people crossing and saying that people crossing and saying that people trying to enter the uk illegally will be sent back. there has been criticism from the local mp in dover saying that the crisis was supposed to have been dealt with by the home secretary last christmas
