now the sport with chetan pathak. the premier league title will be decided today. if manchester city beat aston villa they are guaranteed to be champions. if they slip up and liverpool beat wolves, the title would be heading to anfield. at the bottom and the table either burnley or leeds will be relegated. patrick gearey reports. it has come to this. up and down the country at the top and bottom it is all stacked on the final match. don't blink now. manchester city and liverpool have been racing above the clouds. for weeks city have sat nearest the sun. they will win the title if they beat aston villa and their manager

will want to keep it that simple. just don't give up and do exactly what you have done the last month, with all the games we have played at home and away and go for it. after if we are going to win, it isjust a game. but the season finale reintroduces an old character. steven gerrard forever a liverpool legend, now villa manager. as a player he couldn't win the league but as a manager he could help deliver it tojurgen klopp. but only if liverpool see off wolves. last weekend they won the fa cup, the second of a possible four trophies this season. any tension it seems has lifted. we have no pressure. we have pressure to win a football game but we have that since a while, but not about what if, we don't have that. full throttle, give it a try, let's see the outcome. it is far darker lower down.

burnley sit above leeds only on goal difference. one of them will be relegated. burnley host newcastle while leeds go to brentford. each will nervously be checking the score of the other while suffering through their own match. hold on tight. it is in our own hands and that is all you can do. i think we can beat newcastle. i think we can do what is needed to be done. i am hoping and praying. if we win it still might not be enough but as long - as we better their results - there is life in the old dog yet. fingers crossed we can get a result. come on, leeds. so the hopes, dreams and schemes of more than a0 weeks are judged over 90 odd minutes. breathe deep, don't miss a beat. all those games kick off at 4pm this afternoon. three days after rangers were beaten on penalties in the europa league final, they were taken to extra time again in the scottish cup final,

but it was there that they came good, beating hearts 2—0, to lift the trophy for the 34th time in their history. from hampden park — jane dougall reports. hearts flags and scarfs! last chance to win a trophy after missing out on the league and missing, on penalties, the europa league final three days ago. are you over the disappointment? no — probably never get over the disappointment, no. what is the score going to be? 12-0. for hearts, winning the scottish cup would be a fitting end to an impressive first season back in the top flight. hope and pray that they just take it, and i think they will. as the smoke cleared, the teams emerged. would rangers be heavy—legged? would hearts take advantage? they came closest first. a tempting ball across the face of goal, but ellis simms couldn't connect —

with the ball, at least. on 90 minutes, joe aribo thought he was the hero, but craig gordon's stretched out leg sent it into extra time. for the second time in a week they would play 120 minutes, but it galvanised them. ryanjack�*s strike was sensational, the fans daring to hope the trophy was theirs. now, hearts were in disarray. suddenly it was two. no way back for the edinburgh side, with not even a shot on target. and the whistle confirmed it — rangers the scottish cup champions. after the heartbreak of seville, a trophy lifted to give their supporters a celebration. england's matt fitzpatrick heads into today's final round of the us pga championship just three shots off the lead after a tricky day in oaklahoma. a few days ago fitzpatrick said the southern hills course was not really his cup of tea, but he's nowjoint

second on six—under. that's behind the surprise leader, chile's mito pereira, who is playing injust his second major championship. it sets up a fascinating final day with none of the current top six having won a major title. rory mcilroy�*s level par, nine shots off the lead. tiger woods has withdrawn after struggling in the third round. lewis hamilton admits he's really struggling with his mercedes after another difficult qualifying session left him sixth for today's spanish grand prix. he's two places behind team—mate george russell and says he's lacking confidence in their new car for this season. championship leader charles leclerc will start on pole, ahead of world champion max verstappen. that's all the sport for now. now, time for the papers withjoanna gosling.

hello and welcome to our look at what the papers are saying today. with me, author and journalist rachel shabi, and also joined by the political commentator and former head of press at number 10 downing street under prime minister david cameron, giles kenningham. good morning. that's run through the front pages first. the observer leads with partygate and the imminent sue gray report — claiming that the prime minister is expected to �*sacrifice�* the head of the civil service, simon case, when it is released. the conservatives are threatening an attack on transport and education unions — that's according the sunday telegraph, which says the government is poised to draw up laws requiring minimum numbers to work during a strike. the sunday times' front page says an nhs ambulance trust has been caught covering up evidence about deaths linked to mistakes made by paramedics. one to one help for all pupils — that's the education secretary's pledge on the front of the sunday express. and it's wagatha christie on the front of the sunday mirror —

featuring a confident statement from coleen rooney, saying, "it's in the bag." let's talk a bit more on what is on the front pages and insight. let's start with the sunday times and that story that the nhs covered up ambulance deaths scandal. the paper saying an ambience trust has been caught covering up damning evidence about mistakes liked to paramedic. managers filtered out inconvenience facts from report to present cases in a better light. they kept families and corners from learning the full truth. rachel, tell us more about this on.— about this on. this will be a pretty u state to about this on. this will be a pretty upstate to read _ about this on. this will be a pretty upstate to read for _ about this on. this will be a pretty upstate to read for many - about this on. this will be a pretty upstate to read for many put - about this on. this will be a pretty upstate to read for many put up i about this on. this will be a pretty upstate to read for many put up it| upstate to read for many put up it is referring to northeast ambience trust, which looks at the north—east of england, and it leads this story which is you say is a crime that this trust has covered up information about failures of paramedics, arriving at the scene of

emergency situations, covering up mistakes that they made. and apparently opted dozens of cases. story leads with tragic case of a young woman who was found hanged in 2018. paramedics who arrived at the scene which, when she was still live, according to this made some mistakes which the bosses at the trust then proceeded to cover up. this obviously is a very grave accusation, but it is also worth pointing out that for families, families who have lost loved ones in these sort of situations, they can't really ever get closure or a way to mourn properly with so many questions like this let hanging in the air. , , ,, ., ., the air. giles, the nhs pays out a lot of money _ the air. giles, the nhs pays out a lot of money every _ the air. giles, the nhs pays out a lot of money every year _ the air. giles, the nhs pays out a lot of money every year in - lot of money every year in compensation claims and there has been a bit of a drive i think started underjeremy hunt to

let's _ may be heading into a recession. let's finish — may be heading into a recession. let's finish talking about the australian elections. on the sunday times front page, the floating voter, the aussie who got out of the water took cast his vote at bondi beach in sydney holding his eight—month—old daughter. inside the paper it talks about what the future might look like under anthony albanese, the headline aboriginals celebrate and royals quite as australia elects a republican leader after the newsnight interview that the jig of york gave in 2019, he said, congratulations matt we will be come, republic. he is looking at more rights for aboriginals and also there is the aspect of his background which he spoke about on being elected, being he has had a lifetime of being underestimated, a lot about our great country that the son of singer mum who was a disability pensioner who grew up in public housing down the road in camperdown can stand before you tonight as australia's minister post

saying we may not need to enter into a coalition with the greens but we don't really know yet, they may need to. i think be a good thing. this clearly was an election where the cost of living crisis but also climate emergency did play a big part. the outgoing prime minister scott morrison was not very widely appreciated for his take on the time it emergency. rumoured those devastating bushfires of 2019, he said there was no link between those and the climate emergency even though there is a consensus among scientists that such events are more frequent and more extreme. because of the climate emergency. so i think the labor leader coming in hard on needing to tackle the climate crisis with state intervention, with investment in renewables and so on, it is significant, as is the greens and independents doing well. giles,

hello. some bright or sunny spells on the way for most of us as we work our way through this sunday. but when the sun comes out in some areas, it is going to trigger some heavier showers, i think, namely southern scotland and northern ireland getting the biggest of the showers, thunderstorms even through the second part of the day, but some heavier showers possible across northern england and wales, although fairly well scattered here. more persistent rain courtesy of a front for the north west of scotland. clearer skies, warmer spots across the southeast and east anglia. through the evening and overnight it becomes dry for the majority of the uk, aside from the far north west of scotland. while that front still stays close by, also stretches rain up towards the northern isles. mild night, temperatures in double figures, for monday, a fine start, but look out for some heavier rain pushing in to the south east of england and east anglia through the day and showers elsewhere, perhaps lumping into longer spells of rain

for wales and the south west, cooler for all of us.
