hello and welcome to bbc news. chelsea fans are celebrating after their team won the champions league final in porto. they beat fellow english side and premier league champions manchester city in a 1—0 victory, after seven tense minutes of extra time, to pick up their second european cup. more than 16,000 supporters were allowed into the stadium in portugal, after the venue was switched from turkey because of covid—19. the bbc�*s tim allman watched the action. champions, champions of europe! victory is always sweet, even when there's a pandemic on. only a few thousand chelsea fans were able to savour their team's win first—hand, but not one was complaining. wonderful. fantastic, fantastic.

we just can't believe it. beginning of the season, we'd never have thought... we're exhausted but we're overjoyed. just delighted. ecstatic! - unbelievable! there's no words on this planet to describe how every chelsea soul out there, in there feels. cheering. it was a similar story back home in the bars and pubs of west london, as well as the streets surrounding stamford bridge — an eruption of mad euphoria. champions of europe! that's who we are! champions of europe? brilliant, absolutely... look, it's brought us all back together. coro—vid has gone out the window. it's just been amazing. amazing. well, that's not quite true. coronavirus meant only a limited crowd was allowed into the stadium in porto. witnessing a game where

the rich boys of europe would play the even richer boys. and in the end, only a single goal would separate them. kai havertz doing the honours just before half—time. what a night for thomas tuchel. he only took over at chelsea injanuary, and how he's a champions league—winning manager. it's a huge step to arrive in the final. it's an even bigger one to fight your way through and make it all the way to the cup. it's a fantastic achievement, congratulations to everybody. some commiserations for manchester city. they spent fortunes reaching their first champions league final, but still the big prize eludes them. for now, the european cup is heading back to england and to chelsea. blue really is the colour. as tim mentioned in his report, back home in west london, chelsea supporters have taken to the streets to celebrate. 0ur reporter matt graveling was there. ok, so this might not

be porto in portugal — this isjust outside stamford bridge. for fans here who couldn't travel, they don't care one bit because their team have just won the champions league for the first time since 2012. and you can see them celebrating behind me. i would like to tell you that it's been purely peaceful, but a couple of moments ago we did see one big batch of chelsea fans pushing the police back down the road. the game itself, what a spectacle — great game, man city and chelsea, havertz scoring in the first half to secure the win for chelsea. and we did have a very impressive light showjust over stamford bridge a couple of moments ago with lights spelling out "champions, this is for the fans". and of course that is the message they want to send. this is the fans�* — regardless of who won this evening there would have been celebrations like this somewhere in the country, celebrations that we haven't seen for a very long time, that people here hope they will be seeing again next season.

matt graveling with victorious chelsea supporters outside their home ground stamford bridge in west london. russia will go ahead with a second $500 million loan to belarus — a sign of moscow's determination to support its ally. there's been uproar in the west over the grounding of a passengerjet in minsk, and the arrest of a dissident blogger. across europe, demonstrations have been held to show solidarity with the people of belarus. gail maclellan has the latest. support in poland for the opposition in neighbouring belarus. frustration and anger too. pro—democracy rallies all but eliminated in belarus itself by the fear of autocratic president alexander lu kashenko. here and in other european countries, they are calling for the release of a belarussian dissident who, along with his girlfriend, was arrested when their flight was diverted to land in minsk.

the pair's detention sparked global outrage and prompted the eu to urge airlines to avoid belarussian airspace. at a rally in warsaw, roman protasevich�*s mother called on the eu and us to help free her son and others imprisoned by the belarussian regime. president alexander lukashenko, who's been in powerfor 27 years, has been nicknamed europe's last dictator. a huge police crackdown has curbed street protests and sent opposition leaders to prison or into exile. one of those responded to the rallies in lithuania. translation: i am excited about the support i see - in lithuania and other parts of the world. it's a pity that a year has passed and we are not yet at the final point. i believe that there will be changes very soon. there will be new elections because there can be no other way. belarussians will not give up.

meanwhile, talks in russia between president vladimir putin and mr lukashenko continued into a second day. mr putin later confirmed russia would move ahead with a second $500 million loan to belarus next month. russia is mr lukashenko's strongest political ally, even though personal relations between the two long—time presidents are at times said to be strained. north korea has claimed that orphans working in coal mines, farms and on large construction sites are volunteers. the country's state news agency praised hundreds of children it said had come forward. pyongyang has in the past rejected accusations by human rights groups of using forced child labour. hanna song is the director of international co—operation and researcher at database center for north korean human rights. she explains why the pictures released by state media are a cause of real concern.

unfortunately for human rights activists, what has been happening is not unusual. what is unusual is it was released by the state media as a form of propaganda, something they were quite to be doing for the state. in the past, they have often denied this has been the case within the country. we are looking at one of the two pictures, the second picture the state media has released. they say those children we are looking at were volunteering to repay their love of the ruling party. right, i think what has been happening in recent years in north korea is the regime has been seeing that young people especially have been becoming less and less loyal to the regime. so this was one way of them showing this is actually not the case, in that the loyalty for the state and the three

leaders is actually very, very strong. so strong, in fact, that they would volunteer to go and work in these very harsh conditions. so is this a deterrent for young people thinking of becoming disloyal or is it rebuffing narratives that defectors have created outside of the country, that are getting into the country? i think it is the latter, in fact. as more and more young defectors are turning to youtube and other channels to talk about their lives in north korea and talk about how, while the state talks about how loyal the youth are to the international media, when in fact what they were actually feeling, as these sorts of media are starting to come back into the country, i think the north korean regime are worried about the effect it might have on north koreans still living in the country. those pictures give us a brief

insight into two orphanages. do all orphanages look like that? i do think these are what you would call model orphanages, ones that the north korean government are willing to show the outside world. there are many orphanages over the country that even international humanitarian organisations are not given access to, so this is probably one in the most pristine condition that the government has, putting extra resources into making it a model orphanage that they can show to the outside world. let s get some of the day s other news. protestors have ta ken to the streets in brazil's largest cities to demand the impeachment of president jair bolsonaro over his response to the coronavirus pandemic. in the capital brasilia, thousands have gathered in front of the congress

building, many demanding covid vaccines. 14 people who were kidnapped from a university in northern nigeria have been released. there were emotional scenes as they were reunited with theirfamilies, a0 days after being taken. the group were among 23 people kidnapped by unidentified gunmen. five of them were killed. there have been a wave of mass kidnappings of students for ransom in northern nigeria. the french president, emmanuel macron, has warned that france could withdraw its troops from mali. mr macron — who's been visiting africa — says he's concerned about political instability leading to greater islamist radicalisation. mali has just had its second coup in nine months. a ferry carrying nearly 200 passengers caught fire whilst travelling to a remote island in eastern indonesia. passengers and crew on board were forced to jump into the sea, but no casualties have been reported so far.

initial reports suggest the fire started in the engine room. the president of colombia ivan duque says he's sending troops to a quarter of the country's regions in an attempt to restore order after weeks of anti—government protests. as thousands marched across colombia to mark a month of demonstrations, there was renewed violence in the southwestern city of cali, with at least 10 further casualties on friday. 0ur latin america correspondent will grant reports. colombia is no stranger to violence, but these scenes have shocked the nation. two months after the protests began, they're showing no sign of letting up. what started as an outpouring of anger over a proposed tax hike has now exploded into pitched battles in several major cities. the epicentre of the anti—government protests is cali, a city which suffers from all of colombia's

social ills, from poverty to paramilitaries and drug cartels. every day, peaceful protests soon descend into burning barricades and stone throwing. the authorities responding with tear gas and live rounds. the latest incident to enrage demonstrators was the sight of civilian gunmen shooting at protesters with the police. shouting & gunfire. one of the alleged shooters, an off—duty agent from the state attorney's office, was apparently lynched by an angry mob. in response, the president, ivan duque, announced the deployment of some 7,000 military personnel around the country. translation: i want to make it absolutely clear _ that the maximum deployment of military assistance to the national police begins as of tonight. they won't find it easy, though. the protesters are in no mood to back down. this violence brings back painful memories

of colombia's 50 year civil war between left—wing farc rebels and the state. indeed, many say the open wounds from that conflict have fanned the flames of these clashes. now, instead of strengthening the peace, colombia's long and bloody history of social unrest has simply started a new chapter. will grant, bbc news. chelsea win the biggest prize in european football for a second time, beating manchester city 1—0 in the champions league final. demonstrators take to the streets across the world to call for the release of an opposition journalist arrested after his passenger jet was forced to land. environment officials in sri lanka have warned the country is facing one of the worst ecological crises in its history following a naval container fire off the country's coast. thousands of military personal have been deployed to clean up

waves of microplastic pollution that have been washing ashore since the chemical transport vessel caught fire last week. joe robinson has more. with each wave, the task ahead becomes tougher. millions of microplastic pellets have already washed ashore, to be cleaned up by the army, navy and air force scrambled onto the beach. this is an ecological disaster site. 0ne team managed to almost clear their section of negombo beach on friday night, only to find it covered the following morning. the fire on the express pearl began over a week ago, as it waited to enter colombo port. four indian ships have joined the sri lankan navy in their efforts to fight the blaze and mitigate the destruction. the navy does now believe the fire is under control, but the extent of the damage to the environment is still being assessed. the vessel was carrying hundreds of containers

of industrial chemicals, threatening key parts of the area's ecosystem. fishing has already been banned along an 80km stretch of coast while the clean—up operation is under way. but the threat to local jobs could be far longer—lasting. the plastic pellets pose a particular threat to sea life in an area known for its crab and jumbo prawn stocks. now, the livelihood of thousands of fishermen is under threat of being eroded. joe robinson, bbc news. president biden has described a texas bill being debated by lawmakers as "wrong and un—american". the bill would make it harder to vote by post, prohibits after—hours and drive—through voting and introduces stricter rules for election managers and voters. mr biden has said it is an assault on democracy and disproportionally targets black and brown americans, while republican lawmakers say it's necessary to increase voter trust.

antonio arellano is a civil rights advocate in texas. he explains why this bill is so controversial. democracy in texas is injeopardy. our state officials are pushing through and bending the rules to try to codify voter suppression under a new bill called sb7. this bill would effectively ban drive—through voting, ban voting after 9pm — all of these techniques that are normally used by predominantly communities of colour overwhelmingly across the state. and so we need to make sure that in this moment that democracy — it is injeopardy — that we stand up and fight back. that's what's in the bill — why is it being pushed through so quickly? you see, this is part of the bigger plot. the previous administration — donald trump's administration — had peddled the notion that there had been widespread voter fraud, and that voter fraud was running rampant across the country, which is factually incorrect. now republicans are doubling down on that lie and here

in texas utilising it to try to intimidate voters into giving up their voting rights. this bill, which they tried to veil under trust of our democracy system is nothing but a solution in search of a problem. you see, voter suppression in texas is real, and it has been for decades — over 100 years of voter suppression in this state, and now what we're seeing is republicans recognising that they are soon to be out of power. the state is undergoing a massive demographic shift that will soon make it a minority/majority state, and with that comes a lot of political power. the people they have been oppressing for so long will soon be the largest eligible voting bloc in the state and they are fearful, so they are trying to push forward any type of draconian law that they can to try to remain in control of the state. the republicans say it is important to increase voter trust after the last election, they say that there are serious concerns and they need to be addressed. if republicans cared about democracy they would expand

access to the ballot box. that means increasing the number of polling locations, increasing drive—through, 24—hour options, and making sure that we have automatic voter registration, or online voter registration. that's how we can strengthen our democracy. unfortunately, they are more focused on limiting access to the ballot box, and say they are caring about democracy. more than 100 long—tailed macaque monkeys that were being illegally smuggled in the back of a pick—up truck have been rescued in thailand. a field hospital has been set up to treat 80 of them. russell trott has the story. sedated but safe. rescued macaque monkeys — many pregnant — being treated by thai medical teams. more than 100 were discovered — terrified, struggling and gasping for air, in mesh bags tied together and being transported to the cambodian border. 18 didn't make it. translation: the monkeys i

were exhausted and dehydrated for a long time. some of them had respiratory problems because of overcrowding during the smuggling operation. wildlife smuggling in asia is nothing new — tigers, along with other animals have been traded — dead or alive — to neighbouring countries in what is a lucrative, if illegal, business. the authorities have been intercepting the banned wildlife shipments, but closing down the ruthless gangs behind it is a more difficult proposition. the smuggling of the monkeys was a carefully planned operation. a pick—up truck was eventually intercepted at a checkpoint and taken to a field hospital equipped with ultrasound scanners and breathing tubes. the driver of the truck says he didn't know the animals were in the back of the vehicle. he's being detained and questioned about wildlife smuggling. russell trott, bbc news.

britain's prime minister boris johnson has married his fiancee carrie symonds in a secret ceremony on saturday. mrjohnson is said to have exchanged vows with ms symonds in westminster cathedral, in front of a number of close friends and family. downing street has declined to comment. borisjohnson and comment. boris johnson and carrie comment. borisjohnson and carrie symons were the first unmarried couple to live together in downing street. they were first linked by the media in 2019 and by the end of that year they were engaged although they didn't announce it until the following february when she posted the news on instagram at the same time as announcing they were expecting their first child. wilfrid was born last april. there had been speculation about when and how the couple would get married. in the end, the reportedly secret ceremony at westminster catholic cathedral took almost

everyone by surprise. downing street declined to comment, an unusual position but one which chimes with the prime minister'slong—standing wish to keep his personal life private. his divorce from his second wife was finalised last year, making him the first prime minister in centuries to divorce and remarry while in office. more than half of all people in their 30s in england have now been vaccinated in the last fortnight, including the duchess of cambridge. she posted this photo of her jab at london's science museum, a short walk from her home at kensington palace. 0n social media she thanked all those who played a part in the vaccine rollout. matt stutzman was born without arms and always wanted to be a professional athlete. he practised basketball for years but knew he wouldn't make the us nba league. then he found archery and his life changed forever. he won a silver medal

at the 2012 london paralympics and now he's aiming for gold in tokyo. music. people ask me how i taught myself how to like eat and stuff. and i don't remember because obviously at two years old i was already holding a fork in my foot. so apparently my brain just knew how i was going to have to do that stuff before i actually realised that i had no arms. when i was younger, i wanted to be the best basketball player in the world and i spent years practising and i got pretty good at it for a guy without arms.

the reality was that i was never going to be an nba basketball player, but i needed to do itjust to prove that i could. probably within a couple of weeks of getting a bow i knew what i was supposed to do with my life. i'd found my michaeljordan moment and at that point on, you know, eight hours a day sitting in a chair trying to make, you know, a paralympic games. cars and archery are very similar, as in a carjust wants to be driven and it doesn't care how it wants to be drove. a bow wants to be shot, it doesn't care how it's shot, so you could be a very good archer and a very good mechanic or race car driver because it doesn't care.

i got to spend a whole year with my family, where normally i'm travelling all the time. just financially or whatever, what i ended up doing is i kind of would just fix cars in my garage. but i was able to make it work, i'm a fighter and i'm more ready now for the games than i probably was last year. there's more on chelsea's champions league cheers and that heartbreak for city fans on the bbc website where you can also get a run—down of reports of the first british prime ministerial wedding for almost 200 years. including a profile

of the prime minister's wife — a former head of the conservative party communications department now working on protecting sea life. goodbye. hello, there. many places saw some warm sunshine on saturday but we did have a bit more cloud across northern and western areas. but through sunday and into bank holiday monday we should see more in the way of sunshine, so it will feel warmer across the board. now high pressure is dominating the scene but its orientation, where it's sitting, is allowing a little bit of low cloud and mist to roll in off the north sea, and that will affect northern and eastern coasts at times. but it will tend to burn back to the coast through the day. the odd isolated shower could develop here and there. we could see a little bit of high cloud across southern britain into the afternoon. but it's the low cloud and mist affecting the northern isles, perhaps down in towards north—east england, across in towards coastal east anglia, which could affect the temperatures.

close to the coast, around the mid teens celsius, but you have to head further inland to see those values reach around the low 20s celsius with a good deal of sunshine around. you can see the odd shower dotted across parts of scotland and northern ireland, too. these will fade away during sunday night and then we'll see that low cloud and mist roll back into some eastern areas, perhaps even in towards south—east england. further west that you are, the skies will tend to stay clear. so very little change in the pressure pattern as we head on into bank holiday monday. this weather front is kept at bay, higher pressure towards the north—east there. so it could start quite grey and cool across some eastern and south—eastern areas, but again the sunshine will get going on that cloud, burning it back to the coast. could see a little bit of fairweather cloud bubbling up again. otherwise we should see more sunshine around and it will be a little bit warmer — those temperatures reaching 23, maybe 2a or 25 celsius in the warmest spots. now for tuesday, i think this is the peak of this warm spell. it will be a dry and sunny day for most. again, a bit of fairweather cloud just building up through the day but i think

we could see temperatures reach around 25, maybe even 26 degrees in the warmest spots. a little bit warmer, as well, across north sea coasts as we pick up more of a southerly breeze on tuesday, but then we'll start to see a change. from wednesday onwards, we could be looking at this area of low pressure moving up from biscay, it will bring a line of showers and thunderstorms, particularly across southern and western areas, and it will also introduce something slightly cooler and fresher as we move towards the end of the week — but that will be most noticeable across more northern and western areas. that's it, see you later.
