from the bbc sport centre. we'll start with golf where jon rahm dedicated his maiden masters title to seve ballesteros, a0 years after the spaniard last won the famous green jacket. rahm's four shot victory at augusta came after a composed final round that saw him overtake brooks koepka. it also marked what would have been ballesteros�* 66th birthday. when i hit that first shot on the green, the crowds reaction... a wave of emotion, of so many things overtook me. i never thought i would cry about winning a golf tournament, but i got very close on the 18th hole. in a lot of ways, because of what it means to me, and to spanish golf. this is spain's tenth major, my second win, my second major win.
4:32 pm
it is pretty incredible, and to play the way that i did today, and sunday, on difficult conditions, coming in with a margin, i have a lot of pride and am very proud of myself for what i did. it still has not really sunk in, i am looking at the course, thinking i still have a couple more holes to win. i cannot really say anything else. one other golf line to bring you — world number eight will zalatoris is out for the season after undergoing back surgery. the american withdrew just before the start of the masters on thursday, and has had a procedure to relieve pain caused by a herniated disc. zalatoris has had six top—ten placings in majors since 2020, and was a strong candidate to make the us�*s ryder cup team later in the year. the referees body in england,
4:33 pm
the pgmol, have confirmed that assistant referee constantine hatzidakis will not officiate any matches whilst the football association investigates the incident with liverpool defender andy robertson on sunday. robertson approached the official at the end of the first half of their 2—2 draw with arsenal in the premier league and appeared to make contact, with hatzidakis then with hatzidakis, then raising his arm. former referee keith hackett says hatzidakis�* career is injeopardy if he's found guilty of making contact with robertson. it's the quarterfinals of the european champions league this week — and on tuesday night manchester city host bayern munich in the first leg at the etihad stadium. city are still chasing a first european title but go into the game in good form having not been beaten since the start of february. there's also a fascinating sub—plot too that sees pep guardiola take on his former side for the first time since quitting the alianz arena. bayern are now managed by thomas tuchel — the man who led chelsea to victory against city in the 2021 final. we saw three or four games that bayern munich played, they are so
4:34 pm
creative. we tried to figure out, obviously, in all departments it would have been difficult. tennis�* clay court season is underway in earnest although the monte carlo masters is missing the likes of nafa nadal and carlos alcarez. british number one cameron norrie is there — but is already out. the eleventh seed was outclassed by argentina's francisco cerundolo in the first round 6—3, 6—4. britain's jack draper is through though, as is stan wawrinka. andy murray was beaten in straight sets by 14th seed alex de minaur. cricket and in the indian premier league, virat kohli and faf du plessis are building a strong total for royal challengers bangalore against lucknow super giants. england seamer mark wood returned from injury for lucknow but it's been all about rcb in bengaluru.
4:35 pm
18 overs gone, rcb are 189—1, thanks to 61 from virat kohli. more now on the 25th anniversary of the historic good friday agreement. during the troubles in northern ireland, people who wanted to travel across belfast had to pass through a huge security cordon known as the ring of steel. these days, a bus service called the glider makes a relatively easy trip between the east and west of the city several times a day. we've taken thatjourney with some of northern ireland's so—called �*peace generation', born after the agreement, . born after the agreement. if the good friday agreement was the start of a journey, what's the direction of travel 25 years later? during the troubles, it wasn't possible to travel on just one bus between largely unionist east and largely nationalist west belfast. and even if it had been, not many people would have felt
4:36 pm
safe enough to do so. the free movement of today is a big change. you can see from these photographs. these are of the entity which was known as the ring of steel. this is to go shopping, this is to go to work. this is everyday civilian life. we encountered these search points and checkpoints, and this goes on for a quarter of a century. so what do our passengers make of these images of northern ireland's past? it's insane. it's almost like a whole different country. like, it's like a different planet, almost, for my generation to never have had to experience any shootings, any bombings, or anything like that, any atrocities that comes from the troubles. you know, we're very lucky. i think the good friday agreement also kind of diminished that us—versus—them mentality that i think our parents' generations would have had. that's why i think like even like a journey like this kind of diminishes that, as well, because we're not thinking about going into each other's areas. it's scary, the fact that it was there. this place has changed.
4:37 pm
like, we can go into the town, we can do what we want. there's everything and there's no fear about it. the anniversary doesn't mean much to me. - not really, it doesn't. i know that i'm living - in a generation now of peace. i mean, i'm very grateful that- i don't have to go into belfast now and go through steel barricades. and, you know, it's alien to me looking at some . of those photographs. it's all free moving for me now. i've actually never travelled on the glider from west to east, so it's a bit different. but i have obviously been to east belfast, but yeah, so it would still be a bit unusual. i think belfast, because of our history, is kind of divided into those four areas. so that's probably why, as well. good friday agreement is amazing, but i also know that we are maybe not where we said we would be. and you know, with not a running government, as well, just kind of shows you that we still have a lot to work out. but here, you know, we still have peace,
4:38 pm
which is a big thing. those who lived through the troubles remember how difficult travel could be. i would never have dreamt of traveling east to west or, you know, beyond my district, because maybe we just didn't have the same feelings of safety. my kids now, i am pleased to say, there's no boundaries. the glider very much, you know, it's notjust about connecting people, it's connecting communities, and that's probably an unintended consequence in many ways. some might say it's a symbol of how things have changed. you know, that certainly wouldn't have been a done thing in the past. the mobility that people have in saying, i'm going to move to downtown belfast — something that was virtually impossible on a fluid way. that freedom of movement and freedom of association was very not part of our lives for a long period of time. we've still got peace lines. we've still segregated communities. we've still a lot of very traditional conflict—related troubles. but there are pockets where we see belfast living like a city, which you would recognise elsewhere, certainly, in europe.
4:39 pm
i do have a certain difficulty with hearing young people talking about the good friday agreement in that they don't really know anything about it. and part of me thinks that's a shame, because we should acknowledge that period. part of me also says there's a good thing there, too. maybe like everything in this place, it's complicated. well, that's certainly very true. and the people of this place are complicated. we came from a deeply flawed and complex society. and, moving on, you know, maybe we bring complexities with us, but in a different way. and so, even after 25 years, perhaps this complicated journey is not yet at its end. 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
4:40 pm
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 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
4:41 pm
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, just as queen elizabeth did, for the return journey 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. one innovation — the palace has launched a new emoji to mark the coronation.
4:42 pm
so a ceremony rooted in history with at least one modern touch. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news. reading, it isn't something that comes naturally to everyone, and for this man, it has been a struggle. i felt embarrassed, i was scared, quite silly. now that i am proud of myself for doing it.— myself for doing it. twice a week, he has a coach _ myself for doing it. twice a week, he has a coach with _ myself for doing it. twice a week, he has a coach with this _ myself for doing it. twice a week, he has a coach with this woman, i myself for doing it. twice a week, i he has a coach with this woman, who helps him to break down big words. he is doing this for one person. i have a little girl. this _ he is doing this for one person. i have a little girl. this woman - have a little girl. this woman wanted to — have a little girl. this woman wanted to use _ have a little girl. this woman wanted to use her _ have a little girl. this woman wanted to use her skills - have a little girl. this woman wanted to use her skills to i have a little girl. this woman i wanted to use her skills to help

4:44 pm
it is quite a big deal because of course, tesla already has that huge plant in shanghai to make electric cars, so it is basically increasing its investment in china. the fact that this announcement came when tensions between washington and beijing are quite high, that is quite interesting. as you said, this is a mega factory, to produce mega packs. they are basically very large batteries that can store energy, so that they can help stabilise the power grid and also prevent outages. now, of course, many of our viewers associate tesla with those electric cars and that is where the company generates most of its money from. but the company's boss, elon musk, is very keen to also grow its solar energy and battery business to roughly the same size, partly because the world is of course using to use more renewable energy. tesla already has a mega factory in california that can produce 10,000 mega packs units each year. and according to elon musk�*s tweet, this new plant in china will supplement output from the factory in california but of course, it will also allow
4:45 pm
tesla to take advantage of china's battery supply chain at lower costs as well. the company plans to start building the factory, as you said, later this year. they hope it will be up and running by early next year but what we cannot figure out is whether elon musk was in china to sign this deal because there were reports that he would be in china from saturday but we have not seen any actual pictures of him being in china, so that is something we cannot figure out just yet but of course, this announcement still a very big dealfor him and his company. tackling climate change — and its effects — might be growing in importance for countries around the world — but for those where the issue is most pressing, new research says they can least afford it. actionaid figures suggest 93% of countries most vulnerable to climate disasters are either in or at significant risk of debt distress. countries including saomalia, malawi and mozambique are already —
4:46 pm
it says — in debt distress. i asked david archer, actionaid international�*s head of programmes and influencing, how they calculated these figures and what defines a country as being in debt distress. we look at the authoritative database on this, which looks at the likely impact of everything from food systems to water systems, to the environment, and infrastructure. then we looked at what the imf themselves say about the level of debt distress of these countries are in, and it could be anything from not in debt distress, moderate, high, oractually not in debt distress, moderate, high, or actually in debt distress. being at moderate risk is really quite an alarming state to be in. we found that 93% of the countries that the top third of countries
4:47 pm
vulnerable to the climate crisis are in a debt crisis, or at significant risk of it. that is significant, if you are in that crisis, the thing you are in that crisis, the thing you most urgently have to do is to further earn foreign currency, particularly dollars, and the only way to do that quickly, is to invest in things like fossil fuels, industrial agriculture, like soybeans, palm oil, and these things are themselves accelerators of the debt crisis —— the climate crisis. the fact that the countries are in debt actually contributes to accelerating the climate crisis will stop the really alarming thing is that many of the propositions about how we can immobilise climate finance to help vulnerable countries at the moment are premised on giving more loans to further make countries
4:48 pm
in debt, further accelerating the climate crisis.— in debt, further accelerating the climate crisis. ., .. , ., climate crisis. you can see how the siral climate crisis. you can see how the spiral continues. _ climate crisis. you can see how the spiral continues. an _ climate crisis. you can see how the spiral continues. an obvious - spiral continues. an obvious question, what is the solution? i think that the first thing is to move away from the thought that climate finance can be offered through loans. we need to find alternatives. there are plenty of alternatives. there are plenty of alternatives that we outlined in this policy brief, particularly based on tax reforms, whether that is well for windfall taxes, or financial transaction taxes, or generally, ensuring that the global rules around how tax is set and enforced, are done with a sensitivity to the climate crisis. later this week, financial markets will be keeping a close eye on us inflation figures. a slowdown in how quickly prices
4:49 pm
are rising could lead to the federal reserve to halt plans to keep hiking interest rates. in recent weeks, here in europe, we've seen inflation slow, particularly in spain and germany. so is the same likely in the us? remember that has been the mission with these increases, they are really trying to slow down those inflation numbers, to slow down how quickly prices are rising. for a while, we thought that, perhaps, the federal reserve might pause interest rate rises based on what we saw happening last month with the banking crisis, an unexpected impact of raising interest rates. at the end of the week, we got the latestjobs numbers, which showed the labour market continues to show strength, although we saw pullback in terms of how manyjobs were added in the previous month to the us economy. after thatjob report, we saw so many investors were thinking, oh yeah, we are going to see
4:50 pm
a rate rise coming. what could change that, is what we see with these inflation numbers, that are going to come out on wednesday. it is that thing, they have got to take action now, looking ahead to when it takes effect, anything between 6 and 12 months down the line, that is when we will feel the impact of a rate rise. they have to be careful about what they do, too much, it slows the economy, too little, it gets out of control. absolutely, that is where you are seeing a lot of nervousness. nervousness amongst investors and consumer sentiment. there is a possible recession looming, and some people suspect that it is not going to be a crater of a recession, but we might slowly edge into a recession time period. that is something that the fed is trying to weigh. to make sure that the us economy
4:51 pm
slows down enough so that people that's the latest from business. you're watching bbc news. the dalai lama has apologised to a boy and his family, after a video clip purportedly showing the tibetan spiritual head asking him to suck his tongue. in the video of the incident in february, you can see the boy come forward to give a hug to the dalai lama and kiss his cheek. but then he kisses the boy on his lips. he is also heard asking the boy to suck his tongue. many were outraged at the behaviour of the 87 —year—old, now, the dalai lama's office has
4:52 pm
released a statement saying: "his holiness wishes to apologise to the boy and his family, as well as his many friends across the world, for the hurt his words may have caused. his holiness often teases people he meets in an innocent and playful way, even in public and before cameras. he regrets the incident." the us government's urgently investigating the leaking of dozens of intelligence documents on social media. the bbc�*s seen some of the documents including detailed accounts of the training and equipment being provided to ukraine. some of those leaked are labelled top secret. others appear to suggest the us had intercepted official communications of an ally, south korea. these documents have been circulating online for several days now, but us officials clearly concerned about the impacts of them, especially when it comes to security. in the most recent statement from the pentagon, officials
4:53 pm
are saying that they're working to assess any potential impact on us security, as well as its partners and allies. they're also working to determine the veracity of these documents. but officials do say that they believe they contain classified and highly sensitive materials. now, a criminal investigation has also been opened into this case, which is believed to be the biggest leak of classified information since edward snowden gave classified documents to journalists back in 2013. we still don't know who is behind this particular round of leaks, but us officials believe that it might have originated in the united states, just based on the breadth and depth of information contained within these documents. they have not, however, ruled out any involvement from russia or russian sympathizers. in terms of the documents themselves, there were actually two different rounds of lea ks. the first one happened back in march. this was a handful of documents, mostly pertaining to
4:54 pm
the war in ukraine. this was sensitive material containing maps and photographs and timelines. and specifically, it did mention a potential spring offensive. so there are concerns that this information could help russia to determine when any kind of counterattack by ukraine could be taking place. there are also concerns, according to the new york times, that one of these documents reveals that the air defense systems of ukraine could be running low, in terms of missiles and other elements that have been used to protect the skies and keep russian aircraft out of ukrainian airspace. that that defense system could be running low as soon as the month of may. interestingly, some of these documents also appear to have been altered to paint russia in a slightly better light, in terms of lowering the number of russian casualties and somewhat altering the number of ukrainian casualties to make those casualties
4:55 pm
appear to be higher. there was a second, much larger leak of documents on friday, around 100 different documents. and this one could potentially be embarrassing for the united states. the documents appear to reveal that the country has been spying on some of its closest allies, south korea and israel, for example. but this is being seen as a worrying development for a us spying operation that has been remarkably efficient and remarkably effective throughout the war in ukraine. controversial influencer andrew tate and his brother tristan are being questioned by romanian prosecutors while having 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 are under investigation for alleged human trafficking and rape.
4:56 pm
the new super mario bros movie has defied poor reviews to break several box office records, scoring the most successful global opening of all time, for an animated film. it is hollywood's second version of the hit nintendo game — and the film took $377 million around £303 million pounds, in its first five days on release. that success comes in spite of a less—than—resounding reception from several film critics, with a particularly scathing review in the new york post, which called it another "soulless ploy to sell merchandise". now here's the weather with chris fawkes. hello again. the morning rain will be clearing, only to be followed by lots of
4:57 pm
showers and thunderstorms. meanwhile, out in the atlantic, the next system will develop a strong jet stream bringing strong winds our way through tuesday night. for today, plenty of these shower clouds following in. the heavier showers, the most frequent, working across wales and northern england, where thunderstorms are likely, hail mixed in with some of those. a few showers for western scotland and northern ireland, but away from that, some spells of sunshine around. temperatures for many not as high as yesterday. overnight, showers continue across north—western areas of the uk, otherwise, the weather becomes dry, with clear spells, wins a bit light up. temperatures three to 6 degrees. a chilly start but with early morning sunshine, showers for the word go for western scotland, and then it goes get unsettled with rain in northern
4:58 pm
ireland and the south—west of england. temperatures of ten or 1a degrees. tuesday afternoon, winds picking up, but there tuesday night, really windy across western areas, wind reaching 50 or 60 mph. however, we could see a zone of the stronger wins if we get a deeper area of low pressure, some of our most exposed locations could then get wind gusts of 70 or 80 mph. still uncertainty about the strength of those. either way, heading into wednesday, low pressure takes up residence across the uk. lengthy outbreaks of rain for some of us, otherwise heavy showers and thunderstorms as well. windy with gusts of 40, or 60 mph, and cold wind around. perhaps no art the highest mountains of northern ireland and scotland. mostly about 400 metres elevation. it will feel cool wherever you are. winds will
4:59 pm
calm down eight in a week, unsettled with further outbreaks of rain. next week, a good deal milder.
5:00 pm
live from london. this is bbc news. five people have been killed and six injured in a mass shooting in the us city of louisville. officers exchanged gunshots without suspect, and ultimately that ——with that suspect did die at the scene. joe biden says he plans to run for president again in 2024 but stops short of a formal announcement. a british israeli woman has died of her wounds three days after an attack in the occupied west bank in which her two daughters were killed.
5:01 pm
there's been another deadly mass shooting in the united states.
