guru—murthy this is bbc news. the headlines: the speaker of the us house of representatives has met the ukrainian president in kyiv. she said ukraine was fighting for everyone�*s freedom — and us support would continue "until the fight is done." around 20 women and children have been able to leave the azovstal steelworks in mariupol — the only part of the southern port city still under ukraine's control. president putin ordered area to be sealed off last week. the house of commons speaker, sir lindsey hoyle,

9:32 am
she described it as �*war for ten rounds�* in what as an electric night for the sport. eve ryo ne everyone was saying it was the biggest night in women's boxing but it seemed everything people were talking about this week and even walking out the ring todayjust looking at the packed stadium, unbelievable, so this is an absolutely special, special moment, the best night of my career for sure stop i wasn't sure about fighting could reach my olympic gold medal but tonight was absolutely the best moment of my career. england's women rugby players have their sights set on this yea r�*s world cup after securing their fourth six nations title in a row. they beat france by 2a points to 12 to win the grand slam decider. jo currie reports from bayonne. champions of the six nations once again. unbeaten and relentless. england's dominance and position at the top of the world pecking order clear to see.
9:33 am
it may have ended with fireworks, but it started far less smoothly, with the home side spending no time at all going over between the sticks. it was probably the early warning sign that england needed, as they hit back almost immediately. hard to see, but that's sarah bern there touching down to bring england level. minutes later, the england pack once again proving its power. another huge drive, and this time abbie ward doing just enough to get it down. england were finding their feet and their confidence, notching up one more try, courtesy of sarah bern again, to go in at the break with a healthy lead. if the first half was explosive, well, the second half took some time to get going. and when it did, it was france who struck, buoyed by the baying bayonne crowd, they closed the gap to give themselves a chance, but england were too strong, too experienced and simply too good as they saw out the rest of the match with ease to claim an impressive win. that's their 23rd in a row and their fourth
9:34 am
consecutive six nations title. well, these players will enjoy these celebrations, but with the world cup nowjust a few months away, they will know the most important thing going forwards is keeping this momentum going. the scary thing is we don't even feel we have played that well this tournament, we feel that is so much tournament, we feel that is so much to come. we haven't done our game plan and executed everything for 80 minutes. i do not think it is possible to execute for 80 minutes at an international level but we are always striving for that and that is difference between the squad at the minute and the levels we are aiming for and minute and the levels we are aiming forandi minute and the levels we are aiming for and i hope we canjust keep building. and in the other six nations matches, wales were beaten by italy while ireland beat scotland by a single point. 15—14 it finished which means scotland finish bottom of the table. the race for the premier league title is still neck and neck after victories for both liverpool and manchester city yesterday. it's city who are top of the table by a single point after a 4—0 thrashing of relegation threatened leeds united. goals from rodri and nathan ake put city firmly in control, before gabrieljesus continued his fine run of form by scoring his side's third,
9:35 am
and in injury time fernandinho made it four with this long range effort. it's not about the pressure, it's simple, you have to when all the games to be champion if you do not win the games liverpool a champion. are you feeling confident with four to play? it are you feeling confident with four to -la ? , ., ., are you feeling confident with four tola? ., ., ., ,, to play? it is a lot of games but now it is recover _ to play? it is a lot of games but now it is recover well _ to play? it is a lot of games but now it is recover well and - to play? it is a lot of games but now it is recover well and go i to play? it is a lot of games but now it is recover well and go to| now it is recover well and go to madrid and play in the champions league. but liverpool are keeping the pressure on pep guardiola's side. they beat a spirited newcastle side i—0, thanks to a naby keita goal in the first half. at the other end of the table — everton host chelsea afternoon, frank lampard up against his former club, knowing his everton team have to win, after burnley�*s victory.
9:36 am
norwich became the first team to be relegated from the premier league this season after they lost 2—0 at aston villa. norwich's relegation was partly due to burnley�*s victory over watford — their remarkable battle against relegation continued with a 2—1 win at vicarage road. they scored two goals in the last ten minutes — the winner from josh brownhill — to secure three more valuable points. caretaker manager mike jackson has now pulled the clarets five points clear of the relegation zone. watford remain in the bottom three. the old firm meet later today in a crucial match in the title race. celtic have a six—point advantage over rangers going into the game and will all but seal the title with a win. at the bottom dundee look destined for relegation after a 1—0 defeat away to aberdeen, lewis ferguson scoring from the penalty spot. stjohnstone also lost. elsewhere there were wins for livingstone and dundee united, while hearts and ross county drew 0-0. to the women's super league now — and manchester city moved into the champions league places after thrashing brighton 7—2.khadija shaw was the star of the show — she scored two goals in each half

9:38 am
because i lack confidence, you know? that is probably why i needed help. i am not a very confident person. i never have been as a kid. i always felt everyone was better than me and you live with that sometimes. it's only when i'm out there playing that i kind of go, "ok, you're holding your own here, so maybe you're not as bad as you think", you know? yeah, i struggle with all that sort of stuff, but you just have to get out in the pit and give it a go. what else am i going to do? o'sullivan will playjudd trump, who won an epic semifinal against mark williams, they needed all 33 frames to settle it. at one stage, williams had trailed by seven and fought back to lead 16—15 but trump held his nerve to win the final two frames that's all the sport for now. hello and welcome to our look
9:39 am
at what the the papers are saying today. with me are the author and journalist yasmin alibhai—brown, and we hope the property and personalfinance commentator anna ashworth. first let's take a quick look at this morning's front pages. the observer leads with allegations from the labour party that the conservative mp, neil parish, may have broken the law by watching pornography in the house of commons. he has admitted viewing the material and is resigning as an mp. the sunday times carries calls from senior mps to clean up parliament s reputation, with proposals from sir lindsay hoyle and dame andrea leadsom on overhauling its working practices. the sunday telegraph says the conservatives are promising to make sure half of their mps at the next general election will be women, in response to concerns about sleaze in parliament. the mail on sunday accuses labour and the liberal democrats of a secret election pact , and the liberal democrats down candidates in areas
9:40 am
where the other has strong support to help defeat their conservative opponent. away from politics, the express claims britain s over fears that russian saboteurs may target the uk. and the sunday mirror has an exclusive interview with a woman who says she had a secret child with the man who killed milly dowler. the paper says levi bellfield fathered the child weeks before he murdered the teenager. so let's begin. yasmin is with us. we are still t in: to yasmin is with us. we are still trying to sort _ yasmin is with us. we are still trying to sort out _ yasmin is with us. we are still trying to sort out the - yasmin is with us. we are still trying to sort out the line - yasmin is with us. we are still trying to sort out the line to i yasmin is with us. we are still| trying to sort out the line to an hour. —— mike to anna ashworth. the conservative mp neil parish is standing down and the sunday times said read the house of commons of the cosy culture of debauchery.
9:41 am
sutherland is proposing to read the house of house of commons of the culture of sleaze, is that likely? it has been acquired for the longest time, these things happen and there is a bit of a furore and promises are made but there is a problem in the house of commons and one of them i think is the drink. there are so many bars and i as a guest or to talk to somebody and you begin to worry about the health of some of the people in the room after certain hours so it is drink, it is this kind of strange feeling that once you have this power you have the right to treat women and sometimes young men to in whichever way you like sexually and harass them and all of that. we have known about this for a long time. they have got
9:42 am
the scapegoat, neil parish had to go but if he becomes the focus and we are told his exit claims is the house of commons, and let's not forget the house of lords are pretty bad as well sometimes, it is just not going to wash, i hope it doesn't wash with the public. a huge overhaul is needed and appropriate punishments meted out. it should have zero tolerance. anna ashworth is able to join us.— have zero tolerance. anna ashworth is able to join us. is able to 'oin us. what do you make of this is able to join us. what do you make of this hall furore? _ is able to join us. what do you make of this hall furore? some _ is able to join us. what do you make of this hall furore? some people - of this hall furore? some people were saying on radio four yesterday look at the issues facing us as a country and the question surrounding the government, should he have been forced to step down if at least part of this behaviour was accidental?

9:57 am
rain falling in one or two areas but most of us have been waking up to skies like this so for the remainder of the day we keep quite a lot of low, grey cloud and at times we will see some outbreaks of rain as this area of low pressure continues to push its way steadily southwards squeezing the high out of the way. so the rain so far has been moving out of scotland and northern ireland into the north west of england and parts of wales. it is starting to weaken a little as it bumps into that high pressure, so we will see some showery outbreaks of rain for central and southern england but a rather grey, gloomy damper affair following on behind for wales and through the irish sea. the best of the breaks in the cloud, the best of the glimpses of sunshine looks
9:58 am
likely to continue to be the further north and west with highs of 16 or 17 degrees. now, as we move through sunday evening, that rain still yet to clear. as it will do so, it leaves a legacy of cloud and its wake, the cloud preventing the temperatures from falling away so that there's been a relatively mild start to our bank holiday monday, temperatures holding up, seven to ten degrees. but a rather grey and gloomy start to bank holiday monday as well. no, there will be a good deal of drier weather in the forecast over the next couple of days. still the risk of a few isolated showers done through the borders, across the pennines as well. hopefully the cloud will break in places for allowing glimpses of sunshine so in the south we could see highs of 17 degrees but a brisk northerly breeze in scotland willjust take the edge of the temperatures here in the far
9:59 am
north and east, seven to ii celsius the highs. as we move out of monday into tuesday and wednesday, we have got a series of weather fronts that's just going to enhance some showed activity. some of them possibly heavy and thundery but then behind those fronts an area of high pressure building. noe, there will be a good deal of drier weather in the forecast over the next couple of days. still the risk of a few isolated showers done through the borders, across the pennines as well. hopefully the cloud will break in places for allowing glimpses of sunshine so in the south we could see highs of 17 degrees but a brisk northerly breeze in scotland willjust take the edge of the temperatures here in the far north and east, seven to ii celsius the highs. as we move out of monday into tuesday and wednesday, we have got a series of weather fronts that's just going to enhance some showed activity. behind those fronts an area of high pressure building. it is the azores high so with the wind direction swinging in a clockwise direction that means the warmer south—westerly flow is set to return, the air coming all away up from western africa to a slight dip in the feel of the weather and may be some sharp thundery downpours but then towards the end of the week getting noticeably warmer and drier.
