one point, 1—0, so what does that say? just that on the day, with city during the season they were one point better, and tonight madrid was one goal better. that says nothing about us. for real madrid, then, another trophy to add to their collection. but for liverpool, a season of so many highs has ended in disappointment. andy swiss, bbc news, at the stade de france. port vale will be back in league one next season, afterfive years playing in english football's bottom division. the staffordshire club beat mansfield 3—0 in the league two play—off final. former mansfield player mal benning wrapped it up late in the second half, scoring vale's third goal of the match. wrexham might have hollywood owners, but it was luke waterfall

are saying today. with me are sian griffiths, the education and families editor at the sunday times. just finished a busy night on the paper i guess, sian. and james rampton is features writerfrom the i paper and inews website. we have a number of stories. the sunday telegraph front page features an striking image of liverpool fans as they were tear gassed whilst trying to enter the stade de france ahead of the champions league final against real madrid. the sunday times writes that sue gray's final report into covid lockdown parties in downing street was diluted, with officials demanding that any rule—breakers were not named. the observer says senior conservatives fear the prime minister has "plunged the party into an acute identity crisis" as a result of partygate

and u—turns on tax policy. the sunday express, the minister in charge of regional inequalities — michael gove — says boris johnson to win the next general election. the headline is gove fight to save pm's skin. ahead of the queen's platinumjubilee, the daily star sunday suggests bunting has been banned from some lampposts for being too heavy. "cheers ma'am" is the mail on sunday's headline, referring to the government's move to restore the use of the crown symbol on pint glasses. and the sunday mirror reports meghan markle has reached out to her father thomas to heal their rift after his recent stay in hospital. so let's begin. sian, will you start us off with that story, that image, fans

effectively being cattle because the police thought they were attempts to get into the stadium illegally. people without tickets or fake tickets, 7 people without tickets or fake tickets,? it people without tickets or fake tickets,? , ., , ,., ., people without tickets or fake tickets,? , ., , ., , tickets,? it shows liverpool fans crushed up _ tickets,? it shows liverpool fans crushed up against _ tickets,? it shows liverpool fans crushed up against the _ tickets,? it shows liverpool fans crushed up against the railings, | tickets,? it shows liverpool fans i crushed up against the railings, one firm has his arm through the railing. at least a difference in paris before the champions league final last night. real madrid beat liverpool 1—0, we know now. but that result has billy been overshadowed by the heavy—handed policing outside the stadium yesterday liverpool fans are working to get in, thousands of fans did not get in. there were empty seats in the stadium. and at the police used tear gas and pepper spray on any fans. and there were children in any crowd. liverpool has called for an investigation into what has happened and i think rightly so. and this morning have been talking about how scary it was and how it reminded many of them of

the hillsborough disaster in sheffield when a 97 people died when there was that fatal human crash at 350 full —— at the football stadium. i think there should be an investigation to try to work out what went so badly wrong yesterday at such an important sporting event. james? , ., , ,., , at such an important sporting event. james? , . , , . ., at such an important sporting event. james? , , . ., ., james? yes, i absolutely echo what sian sa s, james? yes, i absolutely echo what sian says. the _ james? yes, i absolutely echo what sian says, the echoes _ james? yes, i absolutely echo what sian says, the echoes of— james? yes, i absolutely echo what sian says, the echoes of one - james? yes, i absolutely echo what sian says, the echoes of one of - james? yes, i absolutely echo what sian says, the echoes of one of the | sian says, the echoes of one of the most _ sian says, the echoes of one of the most terrible sporting disasters of our time, — most terrible sporting disasters of our time, which sadly befell liverpool fans, the hillsborough disaster must have been running it through— disaster must have been running it through the minds of fans last night — through the minds of fans last night. more reports emerging of a shocking _ night. more reports emerging of a shocking behaviour in other parts of paris. _ shocking behaviour in other parts of paris, apparently in a fun zone, police _ paris, apparently in a fun zone, police were _ paris, apparently in a fun zone, police were weighing in with batons, attacking _ police were weighing in with batons, attacking women and children, allegedly, which makes your hair fall out — allegedly, which makes your hair fall out -- — allegedly, which makes your hair fall out. —— a fan zone. how can they— fall out. —— a fan zone. how can they possibly think that is a good way of— they possibly think that is a good way of handling a veryjoyous

wembley with the breaking through inadequate stewarding and that might have prompted the response from officials, but it does seem, the very least, to been heavy—handed. fist very least, to been heavy—handed. git the very least to have been heavy—handed. i mean, using pepper spray and at the kinds of seems that we saw where they were really cracking down on young fans, just totally unnecessary. i think uefa has questions to answer as well because of the whole organisation of the things seem shambolic. when the refund this morning talking about having, three hours early get into the game so they were in plenty of time, so why were people queueing for so long to get into a single entrance? and why were so many fans who had tickets are not able to get in? there are reports, too, of the police chasing local youths, as well as tackling some of the liverpool fans, and ijust think there has to

be an investigation to figure out exactly what went wrong so it does not happen again and, asjim said, to hold those who are responsible and have made mistakes accountable for their actions because this is a big sporting event and it should have gone really well. it is a real shame that these scenes have overshadowed the result any stadium. it was a great match and this is a shame it is what everyone is talking about. james, you mentioned you would be the first to condemn football hooliganism. is there still a problem in perceptions, not necessarily what fans do, and the perceptions of some european cities about from england?— perceptions of some european cities about from england? definitely. they have lona about from england? definitely. they have long memories, _ about from england? definitely. they have long memories, european - have long memories, european nations — have long memories, european nations. the shocking scenes from heysei _ nations. the shocking scenes from heysei aii — nations. the shocking scenes from heysel all those years ago will still linger in some minds, but i do agree _ still linger in some minds, but i do agree that — still linger in some minds, but i do agree that this was an overreaction. i'm agree that this was an overreaction. i'm hearing — agree that this was an overreaction. i'm hearing reports thatjournalists are claiming they were made to hand over their— are claiming they were made to hand over their phones and delete

south london and by failing to take an action against the prime minister, 60% of the public think he should resign, conservative mps are sleepwalking to defeat at the next election. the idea this report has happened and it has all gone and forgotten about is for the birds, isn't it? �* , , ., isn't it? it'll be interesting to see when _ isn't it? it'll be interesting to see when it _ isn't it? it'll be interesting to see when it goes _ isn't it? it'll be interesting to see when it goes ahead - isn't it? it'll be interesting to see when it goes ahead whatj isn't it? it'll be interesting to - see when it goes ahead what does happen. it is notjust come i think, partygate that the observer story is talking about. it is also talking about this identity problem that the tories have got, notjust because of partygate tories have got, notjust because of pa rtygate any tories have got, notjust because of partygate any terrible reputational damage that has done too, asjim says, the reputation of a party of law and order, but also this sense that they may not be the party that can be relied upon to cut taxes. iain duncan smith is particularly fed up about that. and he has said that the whole concept that the tories are a tax—cutting party has won them success in elections and now with borisjohnson and rishi sunak and the windfall

tax, there are doubts about whether the tory party really is the party thatis the tory party really is the party that is cutting taxes. and this is a toxic mix in a voter is a' mines, and chording to the conservatives. whether or not partygate with ilic inflicts long—lasting and terminal damage to borisjohnson, it remains to be seen. the number of tory mps have submitted letters of no confidence in the prime minister, but you have to get that magic threshold of 54, and it looks from the papers this morning that the numbers are well short of 54, so you have to have 54 people coming forward saying they have no confidence in the prime minister. giving those letters to graham brady, the chair of the 1922 committee, before an actual vote of no confidence is held. and i do not think we are near that at the moment. sian, front ofthe near that at the moment. sian, front of the mail, — near that at the moment. sian, front of the mail, chairs, _ near that at the moment. sian, front of the mail, chairs, man, _ near that at the moment. sian, front of the mail, chairs, man, it- near that at the moment. sian, front of the mail, chairs, man, it is- near that at the moment. sian, front of the mail, chairs, man, it is back i of the mail, chairs, man, it is back could be back, that little crown we

hello. second half of the weekend not quite as optimistic as the first. it's going to be more cloud as we move through sunday, and some nuisance showers. it has been a beautiful start in northamptonshire, as you can see, but the shower cloud threatening, and we've already seen the first signs of those showers across the north norfolk coast. now, the reason being high pressure is drifting away to the north—west and we're seeing a tightening of isobars, the strengthening of the wind, a coolish source as well coming down from the north. that so far has been driving the showers chiefly along that east coast, as you can see. one or two as well just moving their way down through the irish sea along the cheshire gap as well. so cloudier skies as we go into the afternoon and the showers becoming a little bit more frequent. a cooler afternoon in scotland along that east coast, nine to 11 degrees, maybe a top temperature of 14. fewer showers potentially into northern ireland and still a high of 14 degrees. cloudier skies for england and wales. a cooler story across that north sea coast. top temperatures of 16 degrees. not everyone will see the showers, but some of those across cornwall and devon could be heavy and thundery by the end of the afternoon.

now, as we go through the evening and overnight, most of the showers will be driven along the far north and we'll see some clearer skies. that's going to allow the temperatures to fall away to single figures, so a chilly start first thing on monday morning. and a subtle change in wind direction means the showers could be in different places as we move into monday across the north and the west. and those showers then will push their way steadily inland, so another cloudy day, another coolish day, and showers hit and miss. not everyone will see them, but if you catch them, they could be slow moving with the odd rumble of thunder. highs of 11 to 17 degrees. the low still with us as we move out of monday into tuesday, we could see some showers or longer spells of rain into the far northwest, maybe starting off dry across central and southern parts of england and wales. sunshine could trigger off a few sharp showers as we go

through the day. but with that sunshine, maybe a degree or so higher, expect temperatures to peak at around 18 degrees. now as we head to the all—important bank holiday weekend, still some level of uncertainty for the weather story here, but it looks a little bit warmer and generally a little bit drier. there is a risk of a few scattered showers around. please keep abreast of the forecast. bye— bye.
