third time for chelsea and the final, i hope it does i go to penalties. three nights ago, manchester united, that excruciating penalty shoot—out in the europa league. it is going to be tight though. because these two teams obviously aren�*t all english premier league final. they know each other very well stop the shore over it. just a thought —— at least you are over it. it is a lovely place, but it is not the biggest place and i wonder what local people make of thousands of people suddenly descending. they are after some tourist money and it�*s quite a big ask, isn�*t it? tourist money and it's quite a big ask. isn't it?— tourist money and it's quite a big ask, isn't it? this became clear to us very quickly — ask, isn't it? this became clear to us very quickly because _ ask, isn't it? this became clear to us very quickly because we - ask, isn't it? this became clear to us very quickly because we are - ask, isn't it? this became clear to i us very quickly because we are here to european cup final and shutting down the roads around the area. it�*s

going to be operating at a 33% capacity. that is why the 16 and a half thousand in there but 6000 from each cloud were expecting an awful lot more in the city without tickets plus up to 10,000 for manchester city and those local residents of thatis city and those local residents of that is why the 16 and a half thousand in there but 6000 from each cloud were expecting an awful lot more in the city without tickets plus up to 10,000 for manchester city and those local residents of a really tough year as all european nations have for the pandemic, they are delighted that portugal have been put on the greenness. they are proud that porto has come to the rescue offer of the champions league it again. the stage portugal, that many tournament to end the tournament that byron munich one of the bps g. perhaps this is too much too soon with 16 and a half thousand descending on beautiful but quite small port to all at once. so, there are those anxieties as well and although it feels normal around the snatched experience, right below me is a covid—19 testing centre and a p0p is a covid—19 testing centre and a pop of covid—19 testing centre all

around town as well for all of the fans to take their rapid natural flow tasks slick get back on those flights and take a pcr test when they get back home. they left going through these covid—19 hoops and they know they have to because they love their clubs but this is all a part of at the fence about to go through to get to this final that kicks off in under three hours�* time. kicks off in under three hours' time. a, ., i. ., �* kicks off in under three hours' time. ., ., �* , time. more from you later. i'll be there at the _ time. more from you later. i'll be there at the stadium _ time. more from you later. i'll be there at the stadium and - time. more from you later. i'll be there at the stadium and porto i time. more from you later. i'll be i there at the stadium and porto and time. more from you later. i'll be . there at the stadium and porto and a quick word about a big football match and staying with football — brentford have won in the championship play—off final. they beat swansea 2—0 at wembley in the show piece final — it�*ll be the first time brentford have played in the premier league. billed at the most lucrative match in english football — the club stand to earn an estimated £178m. an 18 year old man has been charged with conspiracy to murder, in connection with the shooting of black lives matter activist sasha johnson in south london last week.

she remains in hospital. 0ur correspondent tim muffett was in court. it�*s almost one week since sasha johnson was shot at a house party in peckham in south london. thank you all for coming today. the black lives matter activist remains in a critical condition in hospital. this morning, 18—year—old cameron deriggs of bromley hill in lewisham appeared at westminster magistrates�* court. he�*s been charged with conspiracy to murder in relation to the shooting. an application for bail was rejected byjudge michael snow. cameron deriggs is now due to appear at the old bailey onjune 25th. four other men who�*ve also been arrested in relation to the incident have been bailed until latejune. detectives are continuing to appeal for anyone with information in relation to the shooting, which took place in the early hours of last sunday

morning, to contact police. tim muffett, bbc news at westminster magistrates�* court. republicans have criticised president biden�*s plan to increase federal government spending to the highest level since the second world war. his 6 trillion dollar budget would include money to invest in infrastructure, education and green technology. the white house says it�*s needed to get america�*s economy moving. but one senator has called the plan �*insanely expensive�*. 0ur north america correspondent, david willis, reports. president biden is looking to boost american manufacturing, and with it the lower and middle class. he�*s proposing a massive programme of public spending, the largest since the second world war, a plan that would add trillions of dollars to this country�*s national debt. last month, in a presidential address to congress, he said america�*s economy needed to be reimagined and rebuilt. my fellow americans.

"trickle down. "trickle—down economics has never worked, and it�*s time to grow the economy from the bottom and the middle out. applause. the president�*s proposals include spending $4.5 trillion on infrastructure and social programmes over the course of the next decade, an additional $14 billion on climate initiatives designed to accelerate the move away from fossil fuels, and more than $2 billion on addressing the problems caused by gun violence, including provisions for tighter background checks. all paid for by tax increases on wealthy americans and big corporations. republican reaction was sharp and severe. "president biden�*s proposal would drown american families in debt, deficits and inflation," tweeted mitch mcconnell, the republican leader in the senate. all setting the stage for a bitter fight in congress over what democrats regard

as the long—overdue redistribution of wealth, and their opponents see as a return to the dark days of big government. the party�*s differences were laid bare only hours earlier, when senate republicans voted to block the formation of a commission to investigate the events of january the 6th, a day which saw hundreds of donald trump supporters storm the capitol building in washington, dc, delaying the certification ofjoe biden as president. republicans feared such a commission could harm their chances in next year�*s congressional elections. the senate leader accused them of seeking to sweep the events ofjanuary the 6th under the rug. out of fear or fealty to donald trump, the republican minorityjust prevented the american people from getting the full truth about january the 6th. the republican minorityjust prevented the senate from even debating the bill. no opportunity for amendments, no opportunity for debate.

there was an attempt by the republican minority to shunt this vote into the dark of night. but because of today's senate time agreement, it was done in broad daylight. the american people will see how each republican senator voted. the vote ends any chance of a nonpartisan inquiry into the events of that fateful day. it also underlines the widening gulf between the two parties going into the difficult months of budget negotiation that lie ahead. uk music festivals could be facing another �*lost summer�* according to mps, who blame the government for not introducing an insurance safety net for organisers. a report from the digital, culture, media and sport committee said ministers had refused to take multiple opportunities to address concerns — and that�*s now too late for many festivals to go ahead this year. this report from sarah campbell.

early may, and a test event at liverpool�*s sefton park. more than 5,000 people were allowed in to enjoy the atmosphere, the music, the food. they were tested and their behaviour was monitored to see whether a festival could be a safe place during a pandemic. leeds, 2016, and even if it means getting a little muddy, thousands of people are desperate to get back to the festival experience. and the reading and leeds festivals 2021 are on at the end of august, and are sold out. but glastonbury, probably the best—known event of its kind, was online only this year — for the second year running, this corner of somerset wasn�*t the focus of global music interest. and many other festivals won�*t happen either this year, the parliamentary committee argues, because the government won�*t provide back—up insurance to cover costs if events have to be cancelled at the last minute. there�*s 975 festivals across the uk each year.

a quarter of them are already gone, and that�*s worth £1.7 billion and tens of thousands ofjobs. all they need is a little bit of certainty, so that if they can�*t go ahead, they will ensure that at least their costs, not their profits, are covered. the government department responsible says, "indemnity cover will be looked at," adding they are, "working flat out to support festivals and live events. "and following on from promising test results from this event in liverpool, it has been announced that the download music festival — which had been cancelled — will now go ahead injune, as a government test event. sarah campbell, bbc news. i�*ve been speaking to anna wade from boomtown fair festival, which was meant to take place in august but isn�*t now going ahead. she told me that tickets had already sold out by the time the decision was taken to cancel. we sold out in february and i was

part of the dcms select committee backin part of the dcms select committee back injanuary part of the dcms select committee back in january where we first announced and called on the government to provide a scheme due to the fact that there was no insurance available out there. so, we said by the end of march, most festivals we need to know by then due door timelines and so, we cancelled on the 20th of april because we held out that long but we noticed that without the certainty in the safety net of our insurance that the risks were just far too high for us to proceed much further, unfortunately. and you�*re usually out of pocket with that because you had to refund all of those tens of thousands of people bought a ticket.— people bought a ticket. quite a ou've people bought a ticket. quite a you've earned, _ people bought a ticket. quite a you've earned, a _ people bought a ticket. quite a you've earned, a huge - people bought a ticket. quite a you've earned, a huge majority people bought a ticket. quite a i you've earned, a huge majority of you�*ve earned, a huge majority of our shareholders to the 2022 event, it was such a lifeline for all the 2022 event, it was such a lifeline

for all of them thought there, really. yeah, we�*ve had to refund if you but we do not touch the ticket money anyway, that stays in a completely different bank account and we don�*t touch until we are able show on and so it is a different cash flow and a pocket. find show on and so it is a different cash flow and a pocket.- show on and so it is a different cash flow and a pocket. and in terms of this committee, _ cash flow and a pocket. and in terms of this committee, and _ cash flow and a pocket. and in terms of this committee, and must - cash flow and a pocket. and in terms of this committee, and must feel i of this committee, and must feel galling for you because you would�*ve been sitting there explaining how you felt you could make things go ahead and how you can make a covid—19 safe and this group of mps essentially backing you up saying more could have been done to help music festivals which is notjust disappointing for people who love going to them, there�*s a lot ofjobs at stake here too. yeah, absolutely and i think all credit to the select committee, they�*ve been absolutely amazing. it�*s a first timer industry has had that kind of level of government interaction and attention and they have really been dedicated really digging into what the

industry is, what we need alone provide and as you mentioned, how many other industries we actually support, especially as independent festivals as well. it�*s a huge supply chain and freelancers network and huge economy within the actual festival market itself. so, it is been quite a tough journey but it has one industry as a whole stability of come together to have this vital lifeline and it could potentially have some hope for the zist potentially have some hope for the 21st ofjune and potentially have some hope for the 21st ofjun . f potentially have some hope for the 21st ofjun . j ., 21st ofjune and they're looking to do that and _ 21st ofjune and they're looking to do that and for— 21st ofjune and they're looking to do that and for the _ 21st ofjune and they're looking to do that and for the next _ 21st ofjune and they're looking to do that and for the next step, i 21st ofjune and they're looking to do that and for the next step, it i do that and for the next step, it will probably be for that to be implemented as soon as possible and help save the rest of the events out there for the rest of the summer.
