you're live with bbc news. sport and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, here's ben croucher. hello from the bbc sport centre. the new world number onejon rahm says his masters victory had a helping hand from the late seve ballesteros on what would have been his compatriot�*s 66th birthday. rahm came from behind in the final round to win by four shots to claim his maiden greenjacket. our correspondent, andy swiss, reports. what a day to remember forjon what a day to rememberforjon rahm, as he took his first masters title in emphatic style. he began the final round two shots behind brooks koepka but he never really recovered from a poor start and instead, it was 52—year—old phil mickelson who roared into contention. mickelson
11:46 am
began the final round ten shots adrift but he really rolled back the years to set a testing target. jon rahm held his nerve over the closing holes and has proved himself to be one of the most consistent players in golf over recent years. he won the us open in 2021 and never looked like losing his composure as he held on for victory and what that means is thatjon rahm becomes the fourth spanish man to win the masters after seve ballesteros, josemaria is about and sergio garcia. this famous tournament injon rahm certainly has a worthy winner. well, rahm's win underlines his status as the best golfer in the world, with four victories on the pga tour already in 2023. he credits doing the little things properly as the key to his success. he's also become first european to have won both the us open and the masters. if there is anything better than accomplishing some thing like this,

making history, you tell me that to be the first european ever to do that, it is hard to explain. 0ut be the first european ever to do that, it is hard to explain. out of all the accomplishments and the many great players that have come before me, to be the first to do that is a very humbling feeling. the body in charge of match officials in england says they'll investigate after liverpool defender andy robertson appeared to be struck by assistant referee constantine hatzidakis at half time of their 2—2 draw with arsenal in the premier league. as for the football, the result could have huge ramifications for the title after goals from mo salah and roberto firmino dented arsenal's aspirations, having taken a 2—0 lead at anfield. mikel arteta's side are six points clear of second placed manchester city, who can win the title if they win all their remaining fixtures. at 2—0 i think we have the game in our hands and that was the moment we had to kill the game and we did not, we made an error in that phase and conceded straightaway. after that, there are moments, you know you have to defend your box. they put aerial balls in the box.
11:48 am
a bit of luck at times. we managed to get a point. i am happy, really happy that we were part of a spectacular football game with a positive performance from us. that's cool, that's cool and i take that, 100%. give me one hour or two or three and i will feel much better about it than i do at the moment because i expect it from us. the golden state warriors sealed a spot in the play—offs on the final day of the nba regular season. needing a win to finish in the top six in the western conference, they scored a record 55 points in the first quarter on their way to a157—101win over the portland trail blazers. they'll face the sacramento kings in the first round, which starts on saturday. minnesota timberwolves center rudy golbert was sent home from their win over new orleans after punching teammate kyle anderson during a second quarter timeout. golbert apologised saying emotions got the better of him. the win for the timberwolves means they'll face the la lakers in the play—in tournament.

lots more on the bbc sport website and app, but that's all your sport for now. in the uk, the opposition labour leader, sir keir starmer, has defended an online advert released by his party, which accused rishi sunak of not wanting to send all child sex abusers to prison. 0ur political correspondent, david wallace—lockhart, has more... this advert focuses on the number of adults evicted of child sexual assault since 2010, who haven't seen jail time. it has a big, smiling rishi sunak on the advert, and suggests he is content with those figures. now, broadly speaking, the figures that labour have used are right, but they go back to 2010, and of course, rishi sunak only became an mp in 2015. he has only been around the cabinet table since 2019, so it is personalising such a sensitive issue towards him that is proving so controversial.
11:50 am
criticism from within the labour party, the former home secretary david blunkett saying that his party has gone down in the gutter to fight politics with this advert, but as you say, writing in the daily mail today sir keir starmer standing by it and says i make absolutely zero apologies for being blunt on this her no matter how squeamish it might make some people feel. so, defending the overall idea. perhaps not entirely engaging with that question of why it is tailored so personally towards rishi sunak but of course labour really at the moment trying to paint themselves as the party who are tough on crime, tough when it comes to law and order, but remember before politics sir keir starmer was the director of public prosecutions. a conservative source saying that they believe when he was in that role he failed to look up some of the worst people in britain so we may see some conservative scrutiny of his record when it comes to questions

around justice. nhs staff will prioritise emergency and urgent care during the junior doctor's strike which is set to be �*the most disruptive action in nhs history according to nhs england. up to quarter of a million operations and appointments could be postponed due to the strike, with the walkout due to start on tuesday. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news. now, buckingham palace has released new details about king charles�* coronation — from the procession route, to the crownjewels that will be used. here's the latest from our royal correspondent nicholas witchell. less than four weeks now to their big day, and preparations for the coronation of king charles iii and the crowning of camilla as his queen are in full swing. first, the route that will take them from buckingham palace to westminster abbey and back again has been confirmed. from the palace down the mall to trafalgar square and then down whitehall, around parliament square
11:52 am
to the abbey's west door. the return route will be the same journey in reverse, a much shorterjourney than that taken by the late queen elizabeth after her coronation. the king and queen consort will travel to the coronation in one of the newest royal carriages, the diamond jubilee state coach, escorted by the household cavalry. inside westminster abbey, the service itself will see the crownjewels, the regalia, the symbols of the monarch's authority, being used for the first time since queen elizabeth was crowned. the sovereign�*s orb and sceptres, swords, bracelets, and spurs — all will have their part in this elaborate religious service, which culminates with the crowning of the monarch with st edward's crown. camilla will be crowned with queen mary's crown, which contains some of the cullinan diamonds. she'll also hold the queen consort�*s rod, which is made of ivory. they will process from the abbey,
11:53 am
just as queen elizabeth did, for the returnjourney to the palace. and for that, they will board this — the 18th century gold state coach. it weighs four tonnes, and it's notoriously uncomfortable. the king and queen may be relieved that their journey back to the palace, escorted by military detachments, will be only a quarter of the length of that undertaken by queen elizabeth in 1953. royal staff have done their best to make the gold coach as comfortable as possible. back at buckingham palace, there'll be a royal salute and, one imagines, an appearance on the palace balcony, though that hasn't been confirmed. 0ne innovation — the palace has launched a new emoji to mark the coronation. so a ceremony rooted in history with at least one modern touch. nicholas witchell, bbc news. controversial influencer andrew tate and his brother tristan are being questioned by romanian prosecutors while having
11:54 am
their electronic devices searched. it's the first time the two brothers have left house arrest, where they were placed more than a week ago after being released from a three—month long detention. tate, a british—american former kickboxer with millions of online followers, along with his younger brother and two romanian women, are under investigation for alleged human trafficking and rape. a new project has been launched to secure the future of engangered exmoor ponies — and a stallion named after alan partridge is leading the way. he's the first to take part in a gene bank scheme, which will map the genetics of the line. janine jansen has been to find out more. alan partridge could be the saviour of the exmoor pony. no, not that, alan. this alan. so why is this exmoor stallion named after the comedy character? he's named elsinore. alan partridge, his breeder, uses the prefix elsinore
11:55 am
for her, her ponies that she breeds. and she likes to choose names from tv personalities to accompany her prefix. so elsinore. alan partridge. but it seems to suit him with a bit of a chatty, quirky character. alljoking aside, this is a serious story. after the second world war, there were only 56 left. today there are 4000 worldwide, but only 600 or 15% are actively breeding. so the exmoor pony society is creating a gene bank. they need 25 stallions to take part. we like to think of it as an insurance policy. so what we're doing is, is collecting seaman from stallions and we're trying to do a cross section of the whole breed, and that semen will be stored in a bank. and then, heaven forbid,
11:56 am
if the wheel comes off with any of the ponies or the breed as a whole, we've got something to go back to. and, you know, we create them, if you like. alan partridge is the first to perform. he's at a fertility clinic in suffolk. the project costs £100,000, and so far they've raised half. scientists will pick different stallions across the gene pool to create a nice cross section of the breed. well, they're very hardy breed, an ancient breed. they're very hardy, which, as you can see up here today on the very windswept and rainy exmoor, they've got double coats. they're really well protected. if you see on the top of the tails, they've got a snow chute which throws all the water off them. they really are extremely hardy ponies, and that's what we're breeding for. we've got to maintain that that hardiness. so what are the similarities between alan the pony and alan the celebrity?
11:57 am
i'm not sure mr coogan�*s met him yet, but i mean, we'll we'll see what we could do. if he's listening, you might need to get in touch. well, we'll fix you up with a meeting. now it's time for a look at the weather with carol. hello again. it has been a pretty wet start to the day. the rain slowly clearing from the east for most of us through the course of the afternoon. it will be followed by showers. and this week is looking much more unsettled than last week. yes, there will be some sunshine, but it is going to be wetter than last week and also windier. you can see where the met office has a yellow warning out for the strength of the wind, gusting a0 to 60 mph from tuesday afternoon, tuesday night and also into wednesday. today's pollen levels, and we are talking tree pollen, are high or moderate and are going to remain like this as we go through the rest of this week. today, we also can see the back edge of that rain pushing away from the far south—east, lingering for a time across shetland, and then we have got two distinctive areas of showers, some of those will be heavy and thundery
11:58 am
and prolonged and blustery, as you can see these are the average wind speeds. 0n either side of them, there will be the odd shower. and a fair bit of sunshine, with highs up to about 15 degrees. not feeling as cold along the north sea coastline, as it has done in the last few days. we have lost all that cloud. through this evening and overnight, there will still be some showers around. there will be clear skies. it'll still be breezy. temperatures in some parts of the country falling away to about three degrees. a cold start to the day tomorrow. tomorrow, there will be a fair bit of sunshine around as well. still a scattering of showers across parts of scotland, but it will not be too long before the cloud gathers in the south—west and then we see rain pushing into northern ireland, wales and also the south—west of england, accompanied by strong winds. ahead of it, some sunshine, but temperatures are to about 1k degrees. the rain is coming on courtesy of this area of low pressure, which is pushing northwards and eastwards and you can see from the squeeze on the isobars, it is going to be windy.
11:59 am
the strongest winds in the west and south. we could even see some snow of above 400 metres in scotland and some wintry showers in the pennines, also the hills of wales and the moors. these black circles represent the strength of the gusts of wind. if you are camping, may be in a tent or a caravan, do bear that in mind. temperatures to 11 or 12 for most. then, as we head into the outlook period for the rest of the week, it remains unsettled but it looks like it is turning a bit milderfor the weekend.
12:00 pm
