the rain will continue to drive in from the west through the morning across northern ireland into southern scotland and northern england and wales, perhaps not reaching the south until the end of the day and may not reach the far north of scotland at all, but it will be a windy day with gusts in excess of 50 mph and that will exacerbate the cold and miserable field by the afternoon. hello, this is bbc news. the headlines. people in england may not need to self—isolate if they've been in close contact with someone with coronavirus. daily rapid tests will be offered as an alternative to ten days quarantine. the foreign office plays down any suggestion aid worker nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe is to be released, after iran's state tv claimed the uk had paid to secure it. manchester united's match against liverpool — which could have decided the premier league title, is postponed after fans — opposed to the club's owners —

invade the pitch at old trafford. a national day of mourning in israel, after 45 people were killed by a crush at a jewish festival early on friday. now on bbc news it's time for sportsday. hello and welcome to sportsday — i'm chetan pathak, coming up on tonight's programme. supporters on the pitch at old trafford — manchester united fans protest against the club's owners, leading to their game against liverpool being postponed. history made — chelsea reach their first women's champions league final — after beating bayern munich. rangers hit four against celtic in the old firm derby at ibrox, just two games away now from an unbeaten league season.

and some spectacular overtaking sees lewis hamilton win the portuguese grand prix to extend his lead in the formula one championship. hello and welcome to sportsday. welcome along, thanks forjoining us. we start tonight at old trafford, where manchester united's premier league game against liverpool has been postponed. earlier around 200 manchester united fans got onto the pitch — to protest against the glazer family's ownership of the club. thousands more gathered outside the stadium, making their feelings clear following the formation and collapse of the controversial european super league. our reporterjoe wilson is at old trafford now: we've had

thanks forjoining us on the programme. statements from the premier league and both clubs saying safety and security had to come first so this match just couldn't be played — what have you seen there today? nice to be with you. i will come to those statements and just a moment because they say some interesting things. we got here about 1:30pm, the demonstration had been publicised well an advanced and the idea was it was going to be peaceful and even socially distanced outside old trafford, and that is what it was four may be about half an hour, thenit was four may be about half an hour, then it became clear that a group of protesters were going to try to breach the security, security that was pretty sparse, and find their way to the pitch, which they did pretty easily. and from that point on i think it almost became inevitable that the match would have to be postponed because they were not moving and there wasn't a level of security or a desire to engage with those protesters to move them away. what i should say is right

from the start of our time here that have been people telling us they did not want to be associated with those protesters. they might have agreed with the cause of trying to get the glaser is out of manchester united but they didn't want to be associated with the people on the pitch. equally there will be some who have told us that the only way to change the dynamic and get them out after 15 years is to do something extreme. liverpool explaining the match had to be postponed on health and safety grounds. manchester united saying we completely acknowledge the right to free expression and peaceful protest, however we regret the disruption to the team and actions which put staff and police in danger. protest that the team hotel as well. finally the premier league statement, here is a line from it. fans have many channels with which to make their views known but the actions of a minority today have no justification. that is what they say and the response by some today is

that the only way to get a response is to do something like this. pictures of the fans on the pitch at the moment. now the question is when this game will be able to be played — any idea yet when that could be? it is really difficult. there is no word on that yet for a premier league. implications for manchester city and implications for those other teams chasing the champions league spots and would probably like liverpool to lose this match. we have looked at the fixture list really hard to see a space in the next three weeks. what about this for an idea? could this match possibly be played here tomorrow on a bank holiday monday? i must stress there is nothing leading us to the conclusion that might happen, but if not tomorrow, when? that conclusion that might happen, but if not tomorrow, when?—

not tomorrow, when? that is the question- — not tomorrow, when? that is the question- joe _ not tomorrow, when? that is the question. joe wilson _ not tomorrow, when? that is the question. joe wilson at _ not tomorrow, when? that is the question. joe wilson at old - question. joe wilson at old trafford, thank you forjoining us. staying in the premier league arsenal got a confidence boosting win over newcastle ahead of their crucial europa league semi—final second leg against villareal this week. mohamed elneny got the opener — and his first ever goal in the premier league — inside the first five minutes to set arsenal on their way, before pierre—emerick aubameyang on his return to the side doubled the lead with a fine finish from martinelli's cross. chelsea have reached the final of the women's champions league. they came from 2—1 down in the first leg to beat bayern munich 5—3 on aggregate. it'll be the wsl leaders first european final and it means they're still on course for an historic quadruple this season, as maz farookhi reports. some of the sport's biggest names for one of the biggest of occasions. chelsea have spent considerably to put themselves on the stage this season. defeat last week left them

with work to do a bit as they do so often some care and curb a combined brilliant to get them back into it. it would take something special to beat the meanest defence in english football. herfirst goal beat the meanest defence in english football. her first goal in beat the meanest defence in english football. herfirst goal in europe one to remember but this matchup was always going to be decided on fine margins. finding the gap to level things up once more before another set piece proved decisive. fitting perhaps that the player they broke the transfer fee to sign would be the transfer fee to sign would be the one to get the final touch. frank kirby added her second deep into injury time and then chelsea knew they had achieved their landmark. knew they had achieved their landmark-— knew they had achieved their landmark. , . . ., ., landmark. chelsea are going to gothenburg! — landmark. chelsea are going to gothenburg! a _ landmark. chelsea are going to gothenburg! a champions - landmark. chelsea are going to i gothenburg! a champions league landmark. chelsea are going to - gothenburg! a champions league final a . ainst gothenburg! a champions league final against barcelona. _ gothenburg! a champions league final against barcelona. what _ gothenburg! a champions league final against barcelona. what is _ gothenburg! a champions league final against barcelona. what is next - gothenburg! a champions league final against barcelona. what is next for - against barcelona. what is next for against barcelona. what is next for a team with an unprecedented season? so jubilation for chelsea and manager emma hayes, who hopes the result can inspire the next generation. ijust hope i just hope there ijust hope there were lots of

little girl sat at home, i really do, thinking my god, they're going to the champions league final. i am a mum, iwant to the champions league final. i am a mum, i want that hope that the r sat at home and built their own stories and moments as i did at a ten—year—old, although it was the men's game, because i never had female role models and i have always wanted more than anything else is that little girls have their own and i hope today by making the final, we have gained a few more fans. meanwile in the women's super league, manchester city have beaten birmingham 4—0. chloe kelly scored the first two, but had to leave the pitch on a stretcher after a serious looking knee injury. esme morgan and sam mewis added late goals to complete the scoring. the win moves manchester city top for now, but title rivals chelsea have a game in hand. in the scottish premiership, the champions rangers are nowjust two games away from an unbeaten league season after beating celtic 4—1 in the old firm derby at ibrox.

the win extends their unbeaten run against their rivals to six games as michael redford reports. the final old firm match of the season, rangers already champions in celtic with nothing to play for but this derby is never meaningless. celtic arrived at ibrox looking to end rangers unbeaten league run an era got off to good start. games like this are often by fine margins and after the file advantage played, rangers will be glad it was. as they celebrated, celtic protested. mcgregor shown a second yellow card and sent off. odsonne edouard in the right place and time for celtic to consolidate. maybe not. the moment of magic from alfredo mirallas. celtic had chances to equalise but

rangers were far more clinical. rangers were far more clinical. rangers in top gear and accelerating towards an unbeaten league campaign. jermain defoe added the finishing touches. celtic humiliated and humbled, rangers simply too good. time now for some of the day's other sport stories and jack laugher and dan goodfellow have won britain 5 second gold of the diving world cup in tokyo — finishing first in the synchronised 3 metre springboard final. both divers have already secured a place for team gb in the event at the tokyo games this summer. geraint thomas has won his first race since 2018 tour de france. thomas finished third in the final stage of the tour of romandie, but that was enough to secure victory — almost half a minute ahead of his ineos grenadiers team mate richie porte. frankie dettori has won his 20th british classic in the 1000 guineas today. riding the irish trained filly — mother earth, dettori convincingly held off his rivals at newmarket to give trainer aiden o'brien his fifth success in the race in the past six years.

next to formula one, where lewis hamilton has shown — yet again — why he's a seven time world champion after he fought back brilliantly to win the portuguese grand prix ahead of his rival max verstappen, who he now leads by 8 points in the championship race. nick parrott was watching. lewis hamilton is facing one of the greatest challenges to his supremacy, sandwiched between mercedes team—mate valtteri bottas and max verstappen's red bull, not a great place to start. things soon got worse. kimmy raikkonen's first lap collision took the safety car out and on the restart max verstappen got the jump on hamilton. the world champion said he wants to be hunted this season but now he was the hunter and a ruthless one. it tookjust the hunter and a ruthless one. it took just four laps to the hunter and a ruthless one. it tookjust four laps to get his place back. valtteri bottas had claimed pole but couldn't match his pace.

once in front hamilton never looked back. giving up his lead right in and surrendered second place and on cooler tires he was easy pickings for max verstappen but for the second year in a row nobody could stop hamilton in portugal. with the championship lead now eight points hamilton are starting to take control. max verstappen will be hoping to change that next weekend in spain. the european champions cup final will be an all—french affair after la rochelle beat leinster 32—23. leinster were on course to reach the final — leading their opponents 13—12 at half time — tied furlong with their try. but la rochelle scored two tries in the last 14 minutes to secure the win — and reach the final for the first time, where'll they play toulouse at twickenham on the 22nd of may. the second session of the world snooker championship final between mark selby and shaun murphy will begin shortly. just under 1,000 spectators are present at the crucible theatre in sheffield where murphy has the edge. he leads 5—3 heading into tonight's session.

the first to 18 frames wins, so still a long way to go across today and tomorrow. you can watch the action on bbc two from 7pm. it was one of the most eagerly anticipated fights in womens boxing and last night the bout between katie taylor and natasha jonas certainly did not disappoint. the pair, who fought as amateurs back at the london 2012 olympics went ten very even rounds but katie taylorjust managed to cling on to maintain her undefeated record and remain as the undisputed world lightweight champion just a reminder of our top story tonight before we leave, manchester united's premier league game against liverpool has been postponed following protest at old trafford. around 200 fans got onto the pitch to protest against the glazers's

ownership of manchester united. thousands gathered outside making
