good afternoon, it's 1.30pm and here's your latest sports news. liverpool are just a game away from the champions league final and with it a step closer to a historic quadruple. they're away for the second leg of their semi—final against villarreal tonight. olly foster is in spain for us. liverpool have the advantage from the first leg, how confident will they be against one of the smallest sides in europe. gavin they will be confident, but not complacent. last week at anfield and villareal frustrated liverpool, and villa real frustrated liverpool, yes, and villareal frustrated liverpool, yes, liverpool controlled the game, but it was only the two goals in two second half minutes that saw them go through. one was an own goal as well, remember. and then a second from mane. but of course liverpool will be confident going through, they had the luxury of resting half they had the luxury of resting half the team over the weekend for the
1:35 pm
win at newcastle. and jurgen klopp said that was a perfect dress rehearsal, because going away to newcastle is to be a similar kind of environment to coming here to villareal. it is a very tight stadium, only 23,000 fans, but that is half the population of the town, which is about 50 kilometres north of valencia. and they love their football here. they are so proud of this team, so liverpool going to have to be on their guard. they have a two—goal cushion, but the first goal as ever in the second leg is all port. if it goes to the spaniards, it could be very interesting and you can probably see the rain teeming down. i wonder what thatis the rain teeming down. i wonder what that is doing the the pitch. the forecast is not great, but liverpool favourites to reach their third champions league final in five

mentally coming in here. but it could be a very interesting evening here. ., ~ could be a very interesting evening here. . ~ ,, the tributes have been flowing for ronnie o'sullivan with stephen hendry calling him "one of a kind". that's after the rocket beat judd trump 18—13 at the crucible to match his seven world titles. o'sullivan said he'll share the record with him for a year, because he's coming back for more and paid tribute to his beaten opponent, in a final like no otherfor him. yeah, i mean that is the most emotional i have ever been. it was judd said to me. i hugged him, because he for me he is the governor. so what he said after, really meant a lot and just, yeah, i just, it blew me away really. so thatis just, it blew me away really. so that is what got me. one quick racing line to bring you and reach for the moon,
1:38 pm
owned by the queen, is to miss the derby at epsom next month as the colt searches for full fitness following injury last season. the horse, trained by john and thady gosden as well as the mount frankie dettori, was third favourite, rated at an 8—1 chance. the queen has never won the derby and this year's race on lithjune is part of her platinum jubilee celebrations to mark 70 years on the throne. that is all the sport and you can get more on the web—site. good afternoon. you're watching bbc news. i'm jane afternoon. you're watching bbc news. i'mjane hill. let's get more now on that address to the ukrainian parliament by borisjohnson via video link, where he annnounced a further £300 million in military aid to ukraine. let's hear what he had to say. volodymyr zelensky, mr chairman, members of parliament, it is a big honourfor me to members of parliament, it is a big honour for me to address you at this
1:39 pm
crucial moment in history and i salute the courage with which you're meeting today the way you have continued the meet in spite of barbaric onslaught on your freedoms. day after day, missile and bombs continue to rain on the innocent people of ukraine and in the south and the east of your wonderful country vladimir putin continues with grotesque and illegal campaign to take and hold ukrainian soil. his soldiers no longer have the excuse of not know what they're doing. they are committing war crime and their atrocities emerge where ever they are forced to retreat. we will do whatever we can to hold them to account for these war crimes. and in
1:40 pm
this moment of uncertainty, continuing fear, and doubt, about the future, i have one message for you today. ukraine will win. ukraine will be free. and i tell you why i believe you will succeed, when they came to me last year and they said that there was evidence that vladimir putin was planning an invasion, and we could see his battalion groups well over a hundred of them gathering on the border, i remember a sense of horror. but also of puzzlement. because i had been to
1:41 pm
kyiv on previous visits and i think i had met some of you and i had stood in the city and seen the tributes to those who had given their lives to protect ukraine against russian aggression and i have wandered the lovely streets of your capital and i have seen enough about ukrainian freedom to know that the kremlin was making a fundamental miscalculation, a terrible mistake and i told everybody i knew, anybody who would listen, that ukraine would fight and ukraine would be right. and yet there was some who believed the kremlin propaganda that russian armour would be like an irresistible force like a knife through butter and kyiv would fall in days and
1:42 pm
people offered volodymyr zelensky free passage and they said your government would to be reform abroad. i refused to believe it. today, you have proved them completely wrong. every one of those military experts who said that ukraine would fall. and your farmers, kidnapped russian tanks with their tractors. your pensioners stood up in the road and told russian soldiers to hop it, as we say, or they may have used more colourful language than that. even in the parts of ukraine that were temporarily captured, your populations, turn out to protest day after day. and though your soldiers were always outnumbered, three to one it is now, they fought with the
1:43 pm
courage and energy of lions and you have beaten them back from kyiv, you have beaten them back from kyiv, you have exploded the myth of putin's invincibility. and written one of most glorious chapters in military history and in the life of your country. the so—called irresistible force of putin's war machine has broken on the immovable object of ukrainian patriotism and love of country. this is ukraine's finest hour. that will be remembered and recounted for generations to come. your children and your grandchildren will say that ukrainians taught the world that the brute force of an aggressor counts for nothing against the moralforce aggressor counts for nothing against the moral force of a people determined to be free. they will say
1:44 pm
that ukrainians proved by their tenacity and sacrifice that guns and tanks cannot suppress a nation fighting for its independence. and thatis fighting for its independence. and that is why i believe and i know that is why i believe and i know that ukraine will win. you have proved the old saying, it's not the size of the dog in the fight, it is the size of the fight in the dog. and, which is an old english saying, i don't know how well that translates into ukrainian, but you get what i'm saying. as you turned the russian army back, you not only accomplished one of the greatest feats of arms of —— 21st century,
1:45 pm
you exposed the historic folly that putin has made. when a leader rules by fear and rigs his elections and jails his critics and refuses to have a free media and listens just to sycophants, and there is no limits on his power, that is when he makes catastrophic mistakes. and it is precisely because we understand this danger in britain and in ukraine, because precisely because we are democracies and that we have a free media, the rule of law, free elections, robust parliaments such as your own, we know that these are the best protections against the perils of arbitrary power. and when
1:46 pm
an autocrat destroys those institutions, he may look strong, but he is sowing the seeds of catastrophe, because there will be nothing to prevent him making another mistake. putin's mistake was to invade ukraine and the carcasses of russian armour littering your fields and streets are monuments not only to his folly, but to the dangers of that itself and what he has done is an advertisement for democracy. on a day when putin thought he would be in charge of kyiv, i had the honour of being able to visit your wonderful city and i saw the defiance of the people of ukraine and i know so much about the
1:47 pm
terrible price that ukrainians have paid and are paying for your heroism. today at least one ukrainian infour heroism. today at least one ukrainian in four has been driven from their homes. two thirds of children are refugees, whether inside the country or elsewhere. no outsider like me can speak lightly about how this conflict could be settled if only ukraine would relinquish this or that piece of territory, or we find some compromise for vladimir putin. and we know what happens to the people who are left behind. in the clutches of this invader. and we who are your friends must be humble about what happened in 2014. because ukraine
1:48 pm
was invaded before, for the first time and crimea was taken from ukraine and the war in the donbas began. and the truth is that we were too slow to grasp what was really happening. and we collectively failed to impose the sanctions then that we should have put on vladimir putin. and we cannot make the same mistake again. and it is precisely because of your valour, your courage, your sacrifice that ukrainians now control your own destiny and you are the masters of your fate. destiny and you are the masters of yourfate. and no one can or should impose anything on ukrainians. and all i will say is we in the uk will be guided by you and we are proud to be guided by you and we are proud to be yourfriends and
1:49 pm
be guided by you and we are proud to be your friends and i'm proud be guided by you and we are proud to be yourfriends and i'm proud our ambassador is back in kyiv, i know you know melinda simmons and in january of course as you were kind enough to say mr chairman bgs, you sent you plane loads of antitank missiles. they are now become popular. in kyiv and elsewhere. and we have intensified that vital efforts, working with dozens of count rips —— continue —— countries and we are sending weapons of all kinds, including tanks. we will be saying you brimstone antiship missiles and we are providing armoured vehicles to evacuate
1:50 pm
civilians from areas under attack and protect officials as volodymyr zelensky mentioned, protect officials when they maintain critical infrastructure. i can announce a new package of support totalling £300 million. including radars to pin point artillery, heavy lift drones and thousands of night vision devices. we will carry on supplying ukraine, alongside your otherfriends supplying ukraine, alongside your other friends with weapons and funding and humanitarian aid until we have achieved our long—term goal. which must be to fortify ukraine that no one will ever dare attack you again. here in the uk, in my country, you will see ukrainian flags flying every where, from
1:51 pm
church spires and in shop windows, you see ukrainian ribbons on the he lapels of people. it is a conflict that has no moral grey areas. it is about the right of ukrainians to protect themselves against putin's murderous aggression and the defence against putin's actions, about democrat circumstances freedom versus oppression, right versus wrong, good versus evil. that is why ukraine must win. and when we look at the heroism of the ukrainian people and the bravery of your
1:52 pm
leader volodymyr zelensky, we know that ukraine will win. and we in the uk will do everything we can to restore a free, sovereign and independent ukraine.- restore a free, sovereign and independent ukraine. boris johnson addressin: independent ukraine. boris johnson addressing ukraine's _ independent ukraine. boris johnson addressing ukraine's parliament - independent ukraine. boris johnson addressing ukraine's parliament via j addressing ukraine's parliament via video link. we will have much more on that and the picture there in ukraine from 2 o'clock. a jury in the trial of a teenager accused of an extreme right wing terror plot, has heard he was engaged in the governments prevent programme, while he was carrying out his research. 18—year—old luke skelton from washington in tyne and wear is charged with intending to carry out terrorist acts, after researching explosive ingredients, identifying targets and writing draft manifestoes. let's cross to our correspondent, fiona trott.
1:53 pm
explain more about what has been heard in court.— heard in court. well the “my was told that luke * heard in court. well the “my was told that luke skelton _ heard in court. well thejury was told that luke skelton was - heard in court. well the jury was i told that luke skelton was carrying out research last year on the internet around three police stations in newcastle city centre. he went to one of them and took photographs of it. that was forth banks police station. the prosecution said he had a plan, his plan was to commit terrorist acts. he took another photograph of a hotel across the street which had cctv cameras. the prosecution said he was decide ing whether that police station should be the one he should target. why he was doing this? thejury should target. why he was doing this? the jury was shown videos skelton had saved, one was of a neo—nazi group and showed masked people burning a flag of un and the black lives matter flag and he wrote
1:54 pm
a note that said, i pray by read gd you this you understand what i have done is a necessary duty. i could not bear to lock at my descendants knowing i did nothing to give them a home land. the prosecution said an expert in terrorism said what he wrote in his man ifestos evokes memories of the manifesto of the man who killed 77 people in scandinavia. he was engaged in the prevent strategy while he was carrying out his research. he was referred to that programme by concerned college staff. the court heard the student also has autism and the prosecution says it is irrelevant as to whether he intended to carry out the plans he intended to carry out the plans he developed. thejudge, judge watson, told thejury he developed. thejudge, judge
1:55 pm
watson, told the jury what you will hear is that he prescribed to views described as racist, homophobic that most people find re—pug tant. what views he has is not what the case is about, it is whether or not against that background you're sure of his intentions to carry out acts of terrorism and that will require a calm and rationale view of the evidence. luke skelton denies the charge and the trial continues. thank you. a record—breaking diamond is expected to fetch upwards of $30 million when it is auctioned in geneva later this month. here it is, more than 228 carats in size, a white gemstone originally from south africa, known as the rock. as you can see, it's pear—shaped, and it weighs in at 45 grams, orjust over 1.5 ounces. so it might bejust a bit too big
1:56 pm
to be used as an engagement ring. now it's time for a look at the weather with susan powell. hello, we are going to see plenty of cloud throughout this week. and that cloud throughout this week. and that cloud will bring rain at times, but not vast amounts to any one area. because high pressure still stays close by. so weather systems only weakly work their way across the uk. today we will see a series of fronts pushing into the north—west and that will bring some rain through the night to northern england, western scotland and northern ireland by the end of night some rain into the midlands, east anglia and wales. but not very heavy. a very mild night ahead. through wednesday, we will
1:57 pm
see these fronts drifting east and this area of high pressure displacing them. so some cloud, widely across the uk first thing on wednesday. some rain early doors across southern and eastern england. we will see the fronts pulling into the north sea by the afternoon, but we could see some heavy rain as sharp showers develop in the east. warmer with more sunshine up to 16 or 17 degrees. high pressure close by throughout this week, for thursday it will put the brakes on any fronts. it will tap us into a warmer south—westerly air stream. after feeling chilly recently, temperatures getting bolstered. some cloud on thursday for northern ireland and scotland. some rain here at types too. but across england and wales dry and some bright spells and temperatures up to 20 degrees.
1:58 pm
through friday, we could see some fronts making progress south across the uk. but as you can see, the majority of areas do look like they will remain dry and some wetter weather in northern england and wales. temperatures in the high teens to low 20s. into next weekend, high pressure will establish itself broadly across the uk again. holding fronts at bay. so a lot of fine weather by the time we get to next weekend and it should be warm as well across the uk. so still a lot of fine weather to come this week.
2:00 pm
