at all. a lot of the statues had only been restored in the 1920s or in the 1930s is kind of a pushback against the racial issue by some of those who wish slavery had not ended or were unhappy with what happened to the economy in the south. while this thing about let's put plaques up this thing about let's put plaques up and describe things are moving somewhere else. this is quite a novel suggestion. it is committed think it's an _ novel suggestion. it is committed think it's an interesting, - novel suggestion. it is committed think it's an interesting, it - novel suggestion. it is committed think it's an interesting, it is - novel suggestion. it is committed think it's an interesting, it is an . think it's an interesting, it is an interesting suggestion because there has always been this feeling, i think amino, strongly around students at the college particularly that if you are a black student of the college, you have to literally walk through an archway every day under a statue, it is very difficult and very dispiriting. so, you know, perhaps to turn them around would be an acknowledgement of the college's history and the fact that it was you know, has been funded so much by the fortune that he amassed in africa

essentially a large part about exploiting people. obviously, there are good arguments for removing it entirely, but i think, probably, there also good arguments for having a kind of creative solution which acknowledges the fact that he was a keeper of the college, that is something perhaps the college should acknowledge if it doesn't want to whitewash history.— acknowledge if it doesn't want to whitewash history. jasmine, commits with her mentoring _ whitewash history. jasmine, commits with her mentoring from _ whitewash history. jasmine, commits with her mentoring from another- with her mentoring from another point about every student going through it everyday, but hundreds of thousands of rhodes scholars around the world, people who has a distinguished academic record that includes a period with that title, things like bill clinton who built part of his political career on his support for african—american rights and for improving the lot of african—americans, and here he was a scholar. wraps we will take that up in our second review. jessica, jasmine, thank you with us for being with us. they will be back with more

papers to my hope we will have more papers to my hope we will have more papers and just have an hour's time. in the meantime, we have got sports and weather, and i will be back with and weather, and i will be back with a full summary of the news at 11. hello, i'm sarah mulkerrins at the bbc sport centre. we'll start in portugal, where pep guardiola and thomas tuchel have been giving their final press conferences ahead of tomorrow's champions league final. manchester city will be looking to win the trophy for the first time in their history when they take on chelsea, who won it for the first time in 2012. thousands of fans have also made their way to porto, and despite the enormity of the occasion, guardiola insists he's relaxed. i know that we want to play, and with who we are going to play. i'm

not going to bother the match. it's an incredible privilege to be here. i never expected, i talked personally, not on behalf of the players, i never expected when i started my career to play not even one final champions league, and now look, it's another one, we are here. i'm more than grateful. lucky, all of us, we are full topical and will handle it in their best when try to go out there and play again. they are maybe in the moment, the strongest _ they are maybe in the moment, the strongest team in europe, and maybe in the _ strongest team in europe, and maybe in the world, — strongest team in europe, and maybe in the world, and they have a huge -ap. in the world, and they have a huge gag they— in the world, and they have a huge gap. they have built a huge gap between — gap. they have built a huge gap between them and us in the league, but we _ between them and us in the league, but we closed the gap for 90 minutes in wembley. we closed the gap for 90 minutes— in wembley. we closed the gap for 90 minutes at— in wembley. we closed the gap for 90 minutes at city, and this is what we want _ minutes at city, and this is what we want to— minutes at city, and this is what we want to do— minutes at city, and this is what we want to do tomorrow. after already winning two trophies this season, including the premier league, manchester city are most people's favourites, but chelsea have the form in those head—to—head clashes. chris sutton is in porto covering the game for the bbc. who does he think has the edge?

it's an interesting one, isn't it? chelsea have beaten manchester city on the last two occasions, well they have a psychological advantage? i don't think so. manchester city i don't think so. manchester city i don't think so. manchester city i don't think they really showed their hands in the last two games. we will see a manchester city at full strength, and they have had such a brilliant season can have the? blew everybody away in the pre—merely. portillo has done great things. in my opinion, is what pep rhodiola brought to manchester city four. the biggest game in league football, it is the champions league. a huge gain from him. from chelsea's point of view, thomas dougal has made great strides this season. just in recent weeks, they have dipped a little bit. the results have not been so good losing the fa cup final. so it's massive for him to finish the season on a high. the champions league is not the only big football final tomorrow, because at 3pm at wembley, 12,000 fans will watch as brentford and swansea battle it out for a place in the premier league next season. brentford are aiming to end their 7a—year absence from the top flight,

and they lost out at this stage last year, while swansea are looking to return to the premier league after three years away. adam wild has this report. they call it the richest game in football, for the winners, it's worth much more than that. swansea and city fans here waving their team off to wembley, the value of a place at domestic football's top table goes way beyond the price tag. swansea has been to wembley and won before, victory in the playoff final a decade ago was for all involved a transformative moment. that day, it did, it changed the course of my life, it's a life—changing game. it was described then as £1 million game, but, it was more than that for us all. the season comes to an inevitable conclusion for swansea city. the heartbreak of relegation followed a seven season stay

in the premier league, now, the chance to return. it would mean everything, wouldn't it? so, we know without talking about it too much, we can show our supporters, you know, ourselves, we know exactly what it means, this can, and it's our biggest motivation. at brentford, meanwhile, this is all new, a home built for the future, ready for success, the big occasions, the biggest guests, now, a game away. we all know that if we win, you know, everyone knows the headlines of the newspapers, and we also know the headlines of newspapers if we lose. both things can happen. so we need to go in with that open—minded, but of course believe and think we can do and win. a win would see brentford entered into the premier league for the very first time. they were beaten finalists last year, in fact, they failed in their last nine playoff efforts. what a time to change that. wembley can be cruel,

but it can also bring those unimaginable riches, that famous arch, the gateway to the biggest stage. adam wild, bbc news. celtic are continuing their search for a new manager after eddie howe turned down the chance of taking over at parkhead. the former bournemouth boss was the club's preferred candidate and had been talking to them since last month. it's not clear why he decided against the move, but it's understood the make—up of his backroom team could have played a part. sale sharks have booked their place in the premiership rugby play—offs after beating leaders bristol. rob and dan du preez both scored tries for sale, who won 22—12 to reach the play—offs for the first time since they won the title in 2006. elsewhere, gloucester beat london irish, and in the pro 1a, cardiff lost to munster. meanwhile, in rugby league, st helens went level on points with super league leaders wigan after beating hull 3a—16.

through the afternoon. but most places will be dry, and they'll be a little bit warmer because of more sunshine. highs of 20, maybe 21 degrees. any showers will fade away through saturday evening. and through saturday night, some low and mist will roll back into eastern scotland and eastern england, so it'll be quite cool here. but further west, temperatures no lower than 9—11 degrees. on into sunday, even warmer once we lose that cloud across the east coast. there'll be plenty of sunshine and warmer still on bank holiday monday.
