quadruple hopes alive? they face chelsea this afternoon in the fa cup final at wembley. the fans are ready, but chelsea are missing a very big name. # up in space, man... # bookmakers are predicting a rare good result for the uk at tonight's eurovision. but will it be enough to hold back the favourites — ukraine? the finnish president has told vladimir putin that finland will apply to become a member of nato within days. finland is expected to formally announce its intention

to join the western military alliance tomorrow. russia and finland share an 800—mile border, and russia says it has no hostile intentions towards finland and sweden but has warned that their membership of nato would lead to the militarisation of the baltic region. the finnish president is said to have told president putin that russia's invasion of ukraine had altered his country's security environment. russian state media claims mr putin replied that abandoning decades of neutrality would be a mistake and any changes to finland's foreign policy could be negative for bilateral relations. russia has cut off some electricity supplies to finland overnight, claiming it had not been paid for previous deliveries. both sweden and finland are attending an informal meeting of nato foreign ministers, with both expected to announce their intention to join.

our europe correspondent nick beake is in berlin, where nato foreign ministers are currently meeting. the americans in particular have said they are trying to work out what this apparent turkish opposition represents, because we have at present saying yesterday that he doesn't want sweden or finland tojoin, and that is because both countries, in his view, have terrorist organisations. we take from that he is talking about kurdish militant groups, the pkk in particular. i think the americans and the british will be trying to work out whether this is an attempt by president erdogan to get some concessions from the process, because remember, they need the agreement of the existing 30 members for them to join, whether it is a policy on behalf of the turks or represents more fundamental opposition to the expansion of nato. in terms of the timetable, what are we looking at

for finnish and swedish applications and accession? well, interesting, this. over the weekend, sweden in particular, the governing party there, the social democrats, they have been meeting, the prime minister and other figures within the party have been talking about whether this is a good thing for sweden, because traditionally the party has been against sweden joining nato, so the indications are that they will be changing their policy on that. it is not every day you see that — apologies for the noise there. but in terms of finland, we think in the coming days, there will be a decision. the way it all works, assuming there are no major stumbling blocks in the form of turkish opposition, the thinking is, when there is a big nato summit in madrid, that would be the moment at which the countries join. so that is how it is looking for now. interesting that the finnish

president spoke to vladimir putin and explained why finland wants to join, he says because of the attack on ukraine, but also the way that vladimir putin has suggested that no more country should be allowed to join nato, and the finnish president suggesting it is not acceptable, that individual countries have sovereign decision making in this sort of process. yeah, it did sound like a wonderful understatement, he said he would tell president putin that quite a lot of things have changed and that that explains why finland is now felt it needed to join nato. one would love, i'm sure, to be a fly on the wall for that particular phone conversation, it must have been an interesting one. it is a paradox, given that the war was apparently about preventing nato encroaching on russia's borders, and apparent aggressive moves by nato, as moscow put it, that the consequence of it has been to move nato even closer to russia. well, absolutely. if you look at the map of what the nato footprint would look like, you know,

with those two countries joining, you have the likes of sweden and finland right in the north, all the way down along the russian border, you know, obviously belarus is an ally of russia, but president putin will be faced with this wall of nato, really, and something he was talking about at the end of last year as being completely unacceptable. many people have made the point that it is diametrically opposite to what he was hoping to achieve, and incredible over the last few months, how public opinion has changed in finland and sweden. for decades, in sweden's case, 200 years, they were content with being neutral, certainly in a military capacity. and now public opinion has changed, people think they will be safer within the western military alliance, within nato, and that has changed so quickly, and president putin, you would imagine, surely didn't envisage that or, as we have been hearing over the past few months,

he thought that his troops�* progress on ukraine would be much more rapid than it has turned out to be. the mayor of kharkiv has told the bbc that russian forces have withdrawn from the city area and are heading for the russian border. ihor terekhov says shelling has stopped and residents are gradually returning to ukraine's second largest city. but he warned that many residential areas have been badly damaged or destroyed. our correspondentjoe inwood has the latest from lviv. a parting gift from russian forces in retreat. this used to be the palace of culture in dergachi, a small town on the outskirts of kharkiv. translation: we were hit by rockets. three floors were breached. _ as you can see, the palace of culture

is almost completely destroyed. it has nothing to do with military infrastructure. it's a civilian facility. it's a scene replicated right across ukraine's second city, much of which has been reduced to rubble. but kharkiv is known as a fortress city. in this invasion, it has earned that name. its defenders have resisted and now repelled the russians. the battle for kharkiv, it seems, has been won. it's a very different story from that of mariupol, where russia seems confident enough of the victory to be redeploying troops to the donbas region. the ukrainian government says it wants to arm a million men for what is increasingly looking like a long fight. translation: today nobody can l predict how long this war will last, but we are doing everything in order to free our land as soon as possible.

this is our priority, every day to work towards making the war shorter. however, it doesn't depend only on our people, unfortunately. the collective west has declared total hybrid war on us, it is hard total hybrid war on us, it is hard to predict how long this will last, but it is clear the consequences will be felt by everyone, without exception. any diplomatic solutions will depend on russia, who today released these pictures showing their troops on the offensive. their top diplomat was also in combative mood. all over the kharkiv region, the scars of the battle for ukraine's second city. this is unlikely to be a turning point in this conflict, but with russian supply lines now in ukrainian sights, make no mistake — this is a major victory. joe inwood, bbc news, lviv.

health campaigners have criticised the government's plan to delay a ban on multi—buy deals forjunk food and pre—watershed tv advertising by a year. ministers say they're putting the policy on junk food deals on hold to help with the cost of living crisis. here's olivia richwald. as a country, britain is rather chubby and under the government's obesity strategy, junk food ads would have been banned before 9pm. multi—buy offers on food high in fat, sugar and salt would will have been banned. but today the proposed junk food bans were delayed by 12 months. if the government does not see through these relatively straightforward measures, which are in line with where history is taking us, i worry that its commitment to health disparities, to a ten—year cancer programme, to the five more years of healthy life longevity

commitment, to our whole commitment to making britain healthier. according to the latest figures, by the age of ten and ii, 20 5% of children were obese. some of the obesity strategy has already been put in place, like new calorie counts that appear on menus. but is that enough? shoppers in leeds had mixed views on whether a delay on banning junk food deals would stop them eating more healthily. ido i do believe that they deserve a treat and it shouldn't have to put us out of pocket to do that. there have been — us out of pocket to do that. there have been places _ us out of pocket to do that. there have been places where - us out of pocket to do that. there have been places where they - us out of pocket to do that. there | have been places where they have taken _ have been places where they have taken off— have been places where they have taken off multi by offers, i think it should — taken off multi by offers, i think it should be put on food to stop obesity — it should be put on food to stop obesity in — it should be put on food to stop obesity in the uk. of course, with the cost _ obesity in the uk. of course, with the cost of— obesity in the uk. of course, with the cost of living crisis, it is difficult _ the cost of living crisis, it is difficult all over the place. the british retail consortium says supermarkets have been moving away from multi—buy offers anyway, but it welcomed the delay to changes in advertising.

campaigners are urging retailers to promote offers on healthy food instead. in the meantime, the battle between bulging waistlines and skinny wallets continues. olivia richwald, bbc news, leeds. 50 migrants have been told they will be the first to be sent to rwanda, under the government's controversial resettlement policy. the figure includes some people who had crossed the channel in small boats. it's widely expected that the plans will face a legal challenge, but borisjohnson said in a newspaper interview that the government would "dig in for the fight". the north korean leader, kim jong—un, has described the country's covid outbreak as the greatest disaster his country has ever faced. speaking at an emergency meeting, mr kim called for an all—out battle to tackle the spread of the virus, which the government acknowledged only two days ago. official media say another 21 people have died and 170,000 new cases have been identified. in all, more than half a million people are now reported to have shown symptoms. a nationwide lockdown has been imposed to try to stop the spread

of the virus among the population, which has not been vaccinated. earlier i spoke to sung—yoon lee, professor in korean studies at tufts university in boston, who explained what is happening in the country it is the supreme leader of north korea himself who has declined multiple offers of aid, vaccines included, from the united states, from south korea, from the united nations, and now the supreme leader seems to be panicking that the disease is spreading in the capital city, and that perhaps he has come to reconcile himself orfear he is imminent mortality. the north korean leader has never faced an existential threat like this. during a famine, the high and mighty never go hungry, but the pandemic can kill kings and paupers alike,

so it shows you the concern, the anxiety, the stress that kim jong—un himself is feeling. in terms of what north korea has been saying up until now about the global pandemic, has it simply refused to acknowledge any cases before this last announcement? it did, and it was the first acknowledgement of covid, the presence of covid in north korea when kim jong—un made this announcement a few days ago, and he has held two high level meetings to address the issue over the course of two days. it is unprecedented, north korea has denied the existence of the disease in their country over the past two and a half years, so i think kimjong—un is now willing to really use draconian measures to limit the freedom of movement, the supply of food and medicine to the vast majority of the people,

yet kim himself supposedly donated family reserved medicine to people in pyongyang. not out of altruism, necessarily, but out of personal concerns. the headlines on bbc news: russian troops have withdrawn from ukraine's second biggiest city kharkiv, according to its mayor. it's been under constant bombardment since the invasion began. finland tells president putin it plans to join nato, as russia stops supplying the country with electricity, accusing it of not paying for previous deliveries. and a ban on "buy one, get one free" deals on unhealthy food in england is to be put on hold for a year. a former health minister warns that it undermines the country's commitment to healthy living. we will never get her in an hour's time, she will be tied to the television screen, but thankfully

the match has not started, holly hamilton is here. yes, another 30 minutes to go before one of the biggest matches in the football calendar, the fa cup final. it's always an occasion, but for liverpool and chelsea, there's a lot at stake here. nesta mcgregor is at wembley. the sun is shining, the trophy is sparkling, all we need now isjust two teams and ball. sparkling, all we need now is 'ust two teams and bami sparkling, all we need now is 'ust two teams and ball. yeah, we do, it has been a — two teams and ball. yeah, we do, it has been a long _ two teams and ball. yeah, we do, it has been a long day, _ two teams and ball. yeah, we do, it has been a long day, i _ two teams and ball. yeah, we do, it has been a long day, i wish - two teams and ball. yeah, we do, it has been a long day, i wish they - has been a long day, i wish they would get on with it! the players are now on the field, they are warming up, the weather is beautiful, we are having no problems keeping warm. we can talk about the team use, one man not on the pitch behind me is kai havertz, who was a really key player for chelsea, he scores a lot of goals, no less than in the champions league final last year. he is missing with a hamstring injury. so thomas tuchel gone with the same front three from midweek,

which includes a starting place for romelu lukaku, who has been out of form, and it could be the type of script, he has not scored many goals this season, but if he scored today, chelsea fans would forgive him. whilst thomas tuchel has been explaining his decision about the starting xi. there is no need for change, and we trust _ there is no need for change, and we trust them _ there is no need for change, and we trust them again, all of them were involved _ trust them again, all of them were involved in— trust them again, all of them were involved in goals, scored, assisted, so why— involved in goals, scored, assisted, so why break— involved in goals, scored, assisted, so why break the rhythm? a difficult few months for _ so why break the rhythm? a difficult few months for the _ so why break the rhythm? a difficult few months for the club, _ so why break the rhythm? a difficult few months for the club, how - so why break the rhythm? a difficult few months for the club, how have l few months for the club, how have you titted — few months for the club, how have you lifted them _ few months for the club, how have you lifted them for— few months for the club, how have you lifted them for the _ few months for the club, how have you lifted them for the cup- few months for the club, how have you lifted them for the cup final. you lifted them for the cup final today? — you lifted them for the cup final toda ? ., ., �* ., today? you don't need to lift an bod today? you don't need to lift anybody for _ today? you don't need to lift anybody for a _ today? you don't need to lift anybody for a cup _ today? you don't need to lift anybody for a cup final, - today? you don't need to lift| anybody for a cup final, once today? you don't need to lift - anybody for a cup final, once you sit on _ anybody for a cup final, once you sit on the — anybody for a cup final, once you sit on the bus, arrive at wembley, we live _ sit on the bus, arrive at wembley, we live so— sit on the bus, arrive at wembley, we live so close to the stadium, you see the _ we live so close to the stadium, you see the arc, — we live so close to the stadium, you see the arc, you feel the tension, everybody— see the arc, you feel the tension, everybody is excited.— see the arc, you feel the tension, everybody is excited. interesting to see romelu — everybody is excited. interesting to see romelu lukaku _ everybody is excited. interesting to see romelu lukaku on _ everybody is excited. interesting to see romelu lukaku on the -

history, he has already said that days like this do not come often, don't take it for granted, you don't know when you will next be here, holly. so the atmosphere is building, the stadium is filled, i don't know if you can hear in the background, i promised that if peter tong was on air, i would give you a little two step, i cannot guarantee it will be good, but here it is, as promised! this it will be good, but here it is, as promised!— promised! as promised, nesta mcgregor. _ promised! as promised, nesta mcgregor, looking _ promised! as promised, nesta mcgregor, looking good! - promised! as promised, nesta mcgregor, looking good! keepj promised! as promised, nesta i mcgregor, looking good! keep it promised! as promised, nesta - mcgregor, looking good! keep it up! the thins i mcgregor, looking good! keep it up! the things i do _ mcgregor, looking good! keep it up! the things i do for— mcgregor, looking good! keep it up! the things i do for my _ mcgregor, looking good! keep it up! the things i do for my job! _ mcgregor, looking good! keep it up! the things i do for my job! nesta - the things i do for my “ob! nesta mcgreaor the things i do for my “ob! nesta mcgregor at t the things i do for my job! nesta mcgregor at wembley. _ the things i do for my job! nesta mcgregor at wembley. give - the things i do for my job! nesta mcgregor at wembley. give the l the things i do for myjob! nesta mcgregor at wembley. give the people what they want! they already won the title earlier in the week, but celtic finished the season out in style with a 6—0 win against motherwell. kyogo furuhashi capped off a fine first season in scotland, scoring twice as celtic led 3—0 at half—time. giorgos giakoumakis got two of his own in the second half, including this bicycle kick, as celtic got their hands on the trophy that they lost to rivals rangers last year. ange postecoglou's side haven't lost

in the league since last september. elsewhere, dundee united secured fourth place with a 2—1 win for ross county, sparking a pitch invasion at the final whistle, and rangers beat hearts 3—i. wasps were beaten 20—18 by lyon in their european challenge cup semifinal. wasps had led at the break after scrum—half dan robson's try, but the french side proved too strong, two converted tries seeing them through despite a late fightback, denying wasps the chance of a first european final in 15 years. it was victory in the world triathlon championship series for great britain's men and women's teams. in the men's, alex yee outsprinted new zealand's hayden wilde in the final straight to earn victory in a tightly fought contest. and in the women's, georgia taylor—brown moved to the top of the event standings with her impressive victory

after passing leader maya kingma to open up a huge lead. that's all the sport for now. i'll have more for you in the next hour. yes, kick off now not long to go, it is on bbc one, of course. with your dress and nesta mcgregor�*s moves, i think strictly come dancing next series for the two of you. they will be coming knocking now after that! always a pleasure, holly hamilton at the bbc sport centre. the government is cutting ties with the national union of students because of accusations of anti—semitism within the organisation. the union will be removed from government liaison groups and won't be eligible for state funding, although it doesn't currently receive any government money. last month, the nus announced an independent investigation following complaints byjewish students about a lack of support and claims of inflammatory language. in response to today's announcement a spokesperson for the union,

which says it represents seven million students, said it was disappointed the universities minister had put the news in a press release rather than speak to it directly. a member of the red arrows, the aerobatic display team of the royal air force, has returned to the uk amid claims of inappropriate behaviour. a spokesperson for the group, who are currently in preseason training in greece, confirmed one member of the squad had returned to britain but said their event preparations would continue, including for the queen's platinumjubilee injune. it's the final of the eurovision song contest tonight, and thousands of fans are gathering in italy for the big night. singer sam ryder is hoping to end a run of bad results for the uk, but ukraine is hotly tipped to win. our arts correspondent david sillito has been meeting

some of the contestants. eurovision, and the fans are gathering. cheering as they say�*s housed, and this is italy's helpful, and it is his second contest. have you got used to all of this, what eurovision has done to you? are you used to this fame? oh, you know, for me it's always a new thing, you know, because the emotion is always the same, so...yeah. in the past, many looked upon eurovision as a graveyard for careers. but things have changed. for anyone who wonders what eurovision is all about, this is what it's all about.

for mahmood, it's made him a star. and it's also done the same for last year's winners — maneskin. | well, we've basically been touring nonstop, making new music. going all around the world. so it's been like basically all we dreamt of. music: stefania by kalush orchestra. and while the favourites for tonight are ukraine's kalush orchestra, there've also been quite a few bets on a country that's rather struggled in recent years — the uk. # i'm up in space, man... sam ryder and space man has won many admirers. i'll be completely honest, it's quite strange walking around as part of the uk delegation, with people going, "you're going to win, you're going to win!" and we're like, "what? !" # and i wanna go home... winning is perhaps being a bit optimistic, but few expect another last place.

the left side of the leaderboard for us is a win, put it that way. a top ten is a win. a top five is a homecoming bus tour, in my eyes. a win is panic stations. "what are we going to do? this is amazing." and given the uk's long fallow period, a bit of eurovision hope is an unexpected turn of events. # and i wanna go home. # david sillito, bbc news, turin. our correspondent mark lowen is in turin. i don't think anybody can blame you, captain!! i don't think anybody can blame you, ca tain!! ~ , . i don't think anybody can blame you, catain!! ~ , ., ., captain!! well, it is a tough gig, isn't it? the _ captain!! well, it is a tough gig, isn't it? the excitement - captain!! well, it is a tough gig, isn't it? the excitement is - captain!! well, it is a tough gig, j isn't it? the excitement is really building in turin, this is where the audience are going to go through the arches to the stadium for tonight's

grand final, completely sold out, of course, possibly up to 200 million people will watch the grand final tonight around the world, it is hugely popular. eurovision perhaps gets a little bit of a cynical reputation, but there are acts like maneskin, who you saw in that report, who have had huge success over the last year. and the italian entrant he is riding high in the odds with his song, shivers, a kind of a love song between two male performers. could the uk finally win for the first time in 25 years? you heard a bit of sam rider in that report, his stratospheric high notes, go to the points go as high as his falsetto? but a lot of good entries this year, of because ukraine is the favourite, not least

because of their song but the politics behind it, russia has been excluded from the contest because of the war in ukraine, so ukraine benefiting notjust from musical interest but a lot of solidarity and support from other countries in europe. and we are joined support from other countries in europe. and we arejoined by support from other countries in europe. and we are joined by these three fans, we have got francesca here, barbara, both italians living in switzerland, and you are from azerbaijan, lots of different countries, are you supporting switzerland, italy, azerbaijan? both, all of them! find switzerland, italy, azerbai'an? both, all of them!* switzerland, italy, azerbai'an?| both, all of themi i both, all of them! and peace! i think poland — both, all of them! and peace! i think poland had _ both, all of them! and peace! i think poland had a _ both, all of them! and peace! i think poland had a really - both, all of them! and peace! i think poland had a really nice l both, all of them! and peace! i- think poland had a really nice song, so song wise i would prefer poland. francesca, italy or switzerland? francesca, italy or switzerland ? this francesca, italy or switzerland? this year, there are a lot of good entries, so enjoy the show, have a good night. entries, so en'oy the show, have a good night.— good night. what does eurovision mean? why _ good night. what does eurovision mean? why is — good night. what does eurovision mean? why is it _ good night. what does eurovision mean? why is it so _ good night. what does eurovision mean? why is it so popular? - good night. what does eurovision mean? why is it so popular? for| mean? why is it so popular? for people who have never been to a

said it would continue to block the restoration of a power—sharing administration with the irish nationalist sinn fein. ahead of the visit, sinn fein's president, mary lou mcdonald, has accused the prime minister of using the northern ireland protocol to playing games with the eu. borisjohnson boris johnson cannot borisjohnson cannot play games with the people of the north or with the island of ireland. he has connived with the dup to use ireland, to use the north of ireland, to use unionism in ireland as a pawn in a wider game that is being played out with the european union, and that is clearly a shameful tactic and approach, and it is one that is absolutely not acceptable. we will meet borisjohnson on monday in the north, and i know that michelle, as first minister, i hope, we hope will

meet with the taoiseach in the course of the coming week also.
