you're live with bbc news. sport and for a full round—up, from the bbc sport centre, here's holly hamilton. hello from the bbc sport centre we start with the premier league, and arsenal manager mikel arteta says his side need to rediscover their ruthless streak after throwing away a two—goal lead for the second time in as many weeks — this time against west ham. they looked in total control when gabrieljesus and martin odegaard scored inside the opening 10 minutes — but after west ham got back in it, bukayo saka missed a penalty — that proved to be costly, as jarrod bowen equalised shortly afterwards. it leaves arsenal four points ahead of manchester city — having played a game more. you need to defend your oxo you should. you have to do many more

things for much longer periods in the match. then there is another moment, when you can go after 50 minutes, and probably the game is over and two minutes later there is another goal. that is the last thing we wanted our brains, not have the confidence, after having the possibility to kill the game, don't do it and that is the next stage, when you are there, you have to do it and you have to play with the same purpose, or more, and not give them anything. manchester united are up to third after beating struggling nottingham forest. antony got the opener, before turning provider for the second, playing in diogo dalot. 2—0 the final score. a big three points in the race for champions league football, with united still fighting on three fronts. you see how things just by how quickly things can change. last week we had nine top defenders, today we had four and so we need numbers, especially we are one of the few teams who are in three competitions

in europe, so we have a number of capes, so we need the numbers to stay in those conditions, because we need to bring a good team every time on the pitch. england's matt fitzpatrick says winning the rbc heritage title is something "very special". he beat defending championjordan spieth in a dramatic play—off. both men finished on 17 under par, after theirfour rounds. it took three play—off holes to decide the winner, fitzpatrick coming up with this superb shot on the third playoff hole to set up the birdie putt that would win it. it was a special win for the former us open champion, who used to holiday with his family on the south carolina island where the tournament is held. i think ithinki i think i can retire now. yes, this one is the one i have always wanted to win, any golf tournament you know, other than the majors, of course, there is to hire one of my list to win one. and that is true.
11:48 am
my list to win one. and that is true. my family tell you that. i friends can tell you the same thing, this place is just a special place for me and it means the world to have won it. it's day three of the world snooker championship in sheffield, the opening session of the day sees 2016 runner—up ding junghui in action against hossein vafaei — he was 5—4 up on the iranian overnight, and we can now go to live pictures from the crucible. it has been an impressive turnaround, he won at the first four frames in the session, to firmly take control of the match, a frame away, he is on the verge of reaching the second round for the first time. on the other table, third seed mark allen is in action, one of the favourites for the tournament, and he's taken the opening three frames against chinese debutant fan zheng—yi. in the nba playoffs, the los angeles lakers upset the second—seeded memphis grizzlies 128—112 in the opening game of their western conference first—round series.

lakers stars lebronjames and anthony davis combined for 43 points, but it was their team—mate who was the star of the show in memphis — rui hachimura scored 29 points for the seventh—seeded visitors, who only made the play—offs after winning a play—in. game two of the series is also in memphis on wednesday. we need this one, for sure, the first game which is really important, this is my second time in the play—off, every position, every game, it matters. especially now. if you can win this game, it is going to be much easierfor us to you can win this game, it is going to be much easier for us to win those games next... when we get back to la. the milwaukee bucks are sweating on the fitness of their star, giannis antetokounmpo, after he was forced off injured in their 130—117 defeat to the miami heat in game 1 of their eastern conference first round series. the greek forward landed hard

and a currently on 85—5. and that's all the sport for now. air pollution causes harm to people at all stages of life, including reducing sperm count and damaging foetal growth. that's according to research from imperial college london. they've reviewed 35,000 studies from the last 10 years. 0ur reporter graham satchell has more. scientists have known for decades that exhaust fumes, air pollution, damages our health. today's study shows the harm particulate matter and other pollutants can cause from before we're born into old age. researchers at imperial college london found air pollution harms foetal development, can cause miscarriages and a low sperm count in men. in children it can cause asthma and affect blood pressure, and in adults it makes early death more likely through chronic illness, cancer and strokes. air pollution affects the quality

of individuals�* lives and their susceptibility to disease throughout the life course. so we should target it as quickly as we can to actually prevent the accumulation of disease within our population. this study was commissioned by the greater london authority. the mayor of london, sadiq khan, is planning to expand the so—called ulez or ultra low emission zone in the capital in august. more polluting vehicles will be charged £12.50 a day to enter greater london. the plans have faced protests and legal challenges, with some angry at the cost and speed of the changes. there is now a considerable debate between the affordability of driving and protecting public health. graham satchell, bbc news. you might know it as the brecon beacons national park — but not any more. because from now on that beautiful part of the world will be known as bannau brycheiniog. it's hoped the switch to its welsh name will help celebrate the area's culture and heritage.

john maguire reports. i'm taking the plunge. jumping into a river in the brecon beacons national park, but emerging into what's now called bannau brycheiniog, named after the king who ruled over this land in the 5th century. and no—one says it better than michael sheen in this promotionalfilm. a new kind of national park. not the brecon beacons national park, though. not anymore. no. this place has a new name now. or rather an old one — bannau brycheiniog — an old name for a new way to be. a name from our past, to take us into our future. beautiful, isn't it? yes, michael, it really is. even on this gorge walk in between thejumping and the swimming, the instructors believe it's important to remind you what this area means — not just today,
11:54 am
but also in the past. the miners who used to work at the silica mine used to traverse the rocks going all the way along. you can see the gate and it came all the way along and they walked off towards the mine every morning. you can talk about flora and fauna. the site itself — the sssi site — we've got to protect it to ensure that children can see it in years and years and years to come. tourism is so important here and the locals are keen to share their home with visitors. it's just a beautiful place. this isn't your normaljob. so when you take them out and you can bring them in and you see them in the car park and they've got that sort of self achievement, that little pat on the back. and, to me, that's the greatest thing that i can get from people. i think it's amazing. along with the name change to promote the welsh language, the national park has produced an ambitious action plan — planting a million trees, restoring peatland that can capture carbon and re—establishing threatened animal species. the key word you keep
11:55 am
hearing is balance. we're a park where communities live and visitors come and, in a way, we've got kind of out of balance between people and nature and the climate and so on. so at the heart of our plan is a wish to pull all that back into balance, to get to a situation where we can have thriving communities, thriving places, but where we live within the natural resources that are available. the park sees 4 million visitors a year, but is also the home and work place for rural communities. come on, girls. this landscape is shaped notjust by geology, but also by farming and the food it produces. it is a wonderful place to live, but there are areas outside of the national park which are equally as beautiful and deliver as much of what we do. so i think we do need to be careful that the national park is on a pedestal but, at the same time, we have to have the ability to run businesses, to be profitable
11:56 am
and to continue in these wonderful, vibrant communities, delivering on welsh language, the culture and the social aspect of what we have. its beauty is beyond doubt. but for bannau brycheiniog to thrive, that beauty needs to be more than skin deep. notjust a chocolate box landscape, but a place where people and the natural world can work, rest and play in harmony side by side. forevermore. now it's time for a look at the weather with carol. hello. today could turn out to be the warmest day of the year so far, somewhere around temperatures of 19, possibly 20 degrees. as we go through the week, it's not going to be as warm, it still will be some spells of sunshine and still looking

weather front coming in through the course of the afternoon, introducing thick clouds and some stronger winds for the south—east. but the morning low cloud mist and fog, giving way to a lot of sunshine, quite slow to clear, east of scotland, you can see how we have all of the cloud piling in, hot showers, the wind is picking up. these are the average wind speeds, so for most it is going to a breezy day. but that wind coming across a cold north sea, so temperatures, especially in the east, are going to be that bit lower full stop 12 and 13, we could still reach 17, for example in glasgow tomorrow. as you move through the week, into wednesday and thursday, week, into wednesday and thursday, we still have high pressure in charge, here is the weather front on wednesday, tending to fizzle and isobars are telling you it is not going to be particularly windy but brisk along the north sea coastline. so the outlook, as we head through the latter part of the week, remains unsettled, rain or showers at times.
