teams also trying to qualify for europe, aston villa beat spurs 2—1 at villa park. douglas luiz�*s free kick put them two ahead and unai emery�*s side hung on to win despite a late penalty from harry kane. that victory makes it six straight at home and moves them up to seventh — level on points with spurs, who are sixth. we know one team who'll be relegated from the premier league — well, there's one more promotion spot available too. coventry play middlesbrough in the first leg of their championship play—off semifinal this lunchtime. and in the other tie, it's sunderland who have the advantage after they fought back from 1—0 down to beat luton 2—1 in theirfirst leg. amad diallo with a glorious first for sunderland at the stadium of light. the second leg is on tuesday. celtic have already secured the title in scotland, but glasgow rivals rangers handed them just a second league defeat of the season. that's after they won the last old firm derby of the season 3—0 at ibrox. rangers ending a disappointing campaign on a high and a first victory over celtic for manager michael beale. the defeat ends celtic�*s hopes of surpassing the club's record points tally of 106.

life on the road. i wanted to go and explore life and see if there was another way of living. hi and welcome to liverpool, where a wild extravaganza otherwise known as the 67th eurovision song contest is taking place this weekend after last year's winners ukraine were unable to host the competition because of the ongoing war. last year's event was watched by 160 million people and this year, the city that knows how to celebrate is pulling out all the stops to make sure that the competition is bigger than ever.

now, later on, i'll be off to see some of the massive spectacle the city is putting on with much of it dedicated to celebrating ukrainian culture. but first, will's been to find out why, out of the 20 cities that applied to host, liverpool was chosen — and it might be something to do with their reputation for showmanship. all: we love liverpool! in the 19th century, the port of liverpool was considered the busiest on the planet. at one time, an estimated 40% of global trade passed through these waters, exporting the fruits of the industrial revolution and importing commerce, culture and people from everywhere to england's north—west coast. these days, liverpool is known for a lot more than that — music, entertainment and this year, the eurovision song contest.

it's thought the event could end up attracting an extra 100,000 people to come and see england's only unesco city of music. so, i've got one question — why are scousers such good entertainers? there's a long line of musicians, actors and comedians with deep connections to the city. i'm back from london! but new times mean new opportunities to entertain... i'm only at the eurovision, aren't i?! ..like this one—man viral sensation. it's scott and rylan! he calls himself the queen of scotty road and he's as close to a professional scouser as you can get. 0h, hi. how are you? nice to meet you. this city is known for entertainers, big personalities. where does that come from? it's just the capital of entertainment. the beatles, cilla black, gerry and the pacemakers —

you can go on and on and on. i'm proud to be a scouser. i'm proud to come from liverpool. i'm just so proud. let's just go and have a little look, eh? come on. oh, it's all right. let's have a little look. come on. as you can see, it's just the place to be. all right. well, this is impromptu. come on. let's go to the next one. now, i'm an american and i've got to tell you, the accent — sometimes, i stumble. could you teach me a bit of the lingo? of course i can. now, "boss"... boss. ..means you're a nice guy. the queen of scotty road is boss. that's good. "tau___ ta. ..means thank you. ta, queen of scotty road. and the most famous saying of all — "times are hard "and friends are few. "now, ta ra to you", will. and ta ra to you. ooh! so, where did this love of entertainment come from? to find out, let's rewind for a second.

as liverpool grew with the trade from the docks, so did the number of irish sailors who came into the port and never left. at one point, it was estimated that 20% of liverpool's entire population was actually born in ireland, and with that came a whole host of cultural traditions that laid the groundwork for the city we know today. and so, in a far cry from the signature eurovision style, i'm taking it back to basics. irish folk nights like these are a regular event across liverpool. i find this one already in full flow. hello, john. hello, there. hi. it seems your sessions are really popular. i walked through the bar, there are people dancing, there are lines outside. is this quite common? when you turn up, the people turn up? yeah. and it happens on virtually every night of the week in this city. why is irish music so popular here?

there's been a historical link between liverpool and ireland since time immemorial, really. in the early 1800s, principally in terms of digging canals and then, a little later, the railway, but also more significantly in the wake of the irish famine in the 1840s. and they brought, of course, their music with them. it's notjust music like this, fantastic though it is, but three of the beatles, as you probably know, were of irish descent — and maybe ringo, too. it's permeated every aspect of this city's life, its culture and, obviously, its music. music ends. cheering. many of the descendants of those early migrants still find reason to come together every week to express themselves through communal singing. with two teams currently in the premier league, this city is a footballing powerhouse. oh, i'm supposed to kick it? all right.

i'm not from this country. 0h! most weekends during the season, these streets come alive with tens of thousands of fans on their way to the match. and as it heats up outside, i've quietly snuck inside to meet someone who lives and breathes this club. you're sort of the hype man. you're here to rev everyone up. what's your secret? i don't have a secret. i think this place is the secret. and we love an underdog in liverpool. it's almost that liverpool people become the loudest voice in the room for the quietest person. and i think eurovision is all about that, isn't it? it's all about the underdog. it's all about celebrating success and celebrating diversity as well. i think there'll be people that have never been to liverpool before that are coming strictly for the eurovision that will, after that experience, talk about it forever and just be desperate to come back a second time. and as anfield starts to fill up, i finally get to see it for myself. this is incredible.

the energy down here is unreal. number one, in goal, alisson becker. cheering number 66, trent alexander—arnold. cheering and number 11 is mo salah. cheering yeah! what's the feeling like when you're reading those numbers and names out? i suppose it's a bit like a singer performing, isn't it? when a song goes down really well and you can hear certain names go down really well at the end. it still feels like an injection of adrenaline into your veins each time. if there's one thing i'm learning, it's that people here like being together, enjoying their thrills in a crowd. and my final stop is proof of that in spades. ah, jonny! you got to get in here. have we got any irish in the house tonight? cheering two little ducks. quack, quack.

founded in liverpool byjonny bongo, this extravagant bingo night has spread to a0 other places around the uk. is that a bingo call there, love? let's have a look. you've just won a henry hoover! of course, this isn't just a bingo night. jonny�*s taken a british institution that's normally associated with older players... £300! ..and given it a uniquely scouse twist. and the reason that eurovision has come to liverpool? cos it's the best city in the world! eurovision, bongo's bingo — they're also quite similar events. eurovision is all about having fun and just letting loose and it's just such a colourful event. and when it first got announced, i almost felt like it's going to have to be liverpool. there's no better city.

jonny, thank you for tonight. that was incredible. yes. do you feel it? oh, i feel it all over. the energy... headache, leg ache. but the passion... i told you, strap yourself in. it was going to be a wild night, but you did it. 0h, absolutely. you're killing it. are you going to come back? oh, yeah. i've not been in liverpool long but i think i know why scousers are such great showmen. the musical heritage, the love of being among a crowd and the shared history have given the city a distinctive personality, and it's one that provides a perfect backdrop to the eurovision song contest. thank you, will. now, if football, bingo and bit of a jig aren't enough for you, there are still a phenomenal amount of other things to see and do here in liverpool. and here is our travel show guide to just some of them. around 600,000 beatles fans come every year,

looking to tread in the footsteps of their musical heroes. the beatles story on the royal albert dock is a good place to start. it claims to be the world's largest collection of its kind. there's also the two—hour magical mystery tour, which will whisk you past their childhood homes, along with some of the other places mentioned in their songs, like penny lane and strawberry fields. liverpool biennial festival returns this june for its 12th year. this time, the contemporary artists involved have been asked to explore the city's role in colonialism, slavery and the british empire. it's on for iii weeks and, alongside the usual galleries, there'll be exhibitions in historic buildings like the tobacco warehouse and cotton exchange. finally, because it's celebrating a 30th birthday, a mention for the liverpool—chester—liverpool bike ride. it's a non—competitive family cycle with routes from 5 to 100

miles, depending on your ability and ambition. one of the highlights is the chance to cross the river mersey through the normally busy birkenhead tunnel, which will be closed to traffic on the day. still to come on the travel show — why this woman gave it all up for a life on four wheels. i wanted to go and explore life and see if there was another way of living, where i could be truly authentic and happy. and if this is what peace tastes like... wow. ..i'm up for seconds. so don't go away. this week, we're exploring liverpool and while we're here, i just wanted to show you a proper monument to pop history. now, over the last 50 years, many a tourist has frequented these streets in search of a shrine to pop music. because this is where the beatles first played their early gigs

in their hometown. ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the cavern club! hello! they started playing here at the cavern club in 1961 and since that time, the venue has been called a nationaljewel and even the most famous club in the world. people come from all over to see tribute acts. like these boys, who effortlessly embody the cheeky chappy spirit of the early beatles. we've got a set to play now, haven't we? what time is this going to be on? do we need to be on best behaviour?! what do you feel when you get offstage, having played that set to that adoring crowd? very sweaty! yeah, very sweaty! yeah. there's a real buzz about it, i though, you know, that people have come far and wide. you get lots of locals down there as well. i but every single time, i you're talking to someone from brazil or from australia, all over the world. _ so, the fact that they've i

all come down and watched the set in the place where it originally happened... - and also, they want to believe it's you, right? they do. they want to believe you are the beatles. we have some people who do treat it like we are the... i you know, photos and . everything after the gig. but you take a certain element of that. i i have heard before the line, "you do realise he's not "the real ringo, don't you?!" i'll take as a compliment, i guess. the cavern's had some ups and downs in its time — shut down, demolished, rebuilt. and purists will say it's not the original. but, hey, it's not about the bricks, is it? it's all about the connection to these four boys many people still genuinely feel in this little corner of liverpool. now, you may be aware of the song when i'm 64, which was a big hit back in the day for these local guys, the beatles. but that was a time when most 64—year—olds were looking forward to retirement and putting their feet up.

fast forward to 2023 and there's a growing number of people in their 60s who say maybe this is not a time to slow down, but change direction and maybe face some new challenges. well, we've met somebody who's doing just that, who's hit the road and isn't looking back. dora the explorer, i love you. so this is my home on wheels, dora the explorer. i've lived in her now for nearly four years. people think you need to have fixed beds. i didn't want a fixed bed because i wanted the sitting room and i decided i didn't mind taking the time to make my bed up. when i was in my mid 50s, i was totally overwhelmed with life. i'd had a brother and sister who died of lung cancer. i'd had to have a hysterectomy

because of pre—cancerous cells. i was feeling lost in my workplace. i felt marginalised and voiceless and i was also struggling with the menopause. so all those things combined, i was overwhelmed with life. siobhan daniels quit herjob, sold her house, bought a motorhome, and began documenting her life on the road. i call myself a pro—age campaigner, and that's basically what i want to do is to challenge ageism and challenge ageist stereotypes of what society seems to think that people do when they're in their 60s, 70s, 80s and beyond. because i don't feel that it reflects how we're ageing nowadays. do it for the "yes" tribe! yes! isn't it a beautiful day? my motorhome, i don't know if you can see it, it's there in the distance. we've got a stand—off and he's winning. i'm a bit scared. please move. it was very scary getting rid of my home.

so, it was me getting rid of my security blanket. it was an emotional roller—coaster. ok, so ijumped in. but it's not that easy to get out! it'sjust mud. but once i'd got rid of the home, i felt this excitement. and that's what i wanted to feel. i wanted to go and explore life and see if there was another way of living where i could be truly authentic and happy. now, i've gone from being broken in my mid 50s to finding my happy place just approaching 64. it was an emotional triumph for more than just musical reasons. last year, ukraine won the eurovision song contest and liverpool was selected to hold this year's jamboree on their behalf.

so, this is a huge collective occasion for both liverpool and ukraine because not only are they hosting the eurovision song contest together, but they've got the royal seal of approval because the king and queen are about to arrive. cheering and they're here for the same reason as i am — to find out how liverpool and ukraine are working together to celebrate music and culture in the face of adversity. claire mccolgan was instrumental in securing liverpool's winning bid. but while she's busy with the royals, i've quickly nipped off to see ukrainian artist svitlana reinish, whose immersive eurovision exhibition, the soloveiko songbird, is on show for the first time today for the royal visit. soloveiko — "nightingale" in english — is national bird of ukraine.

there's 12 of them around the city. what do they represent? it's very important to show that we have our own culture, our own melodies. and it's really important during these times, during the war, to show that. and so, with the eyes of the world on liverpool, i want to know how the city is doing just that, without taking the limelight from ukraine. why do you think that liverpool won this bid? so, we had a whole programme of work curated by ukrainian artists and uk artists around eurovision and we also do those two things in liverpool really well. we've got compassion and it's bonkers. was there ever a danger that liverpool would hog the limelight? so, we're very clear that this is their party. we'rejust, you know, we're just hosting it in our house. everywhere you go, you'll see ukraine. this will feel like a real ukrainian scouse mash—up — the nation of ukraine and the city of liverpool, kind of all combined into one.

talking of a ukrainian scouse mash up... ..this bakery has been a bedrock of the local community for more than a century now and during times of poverty and crisis, they've always lent a helping hand. and this year because of eurovision, they're going one stage further in helping others in crisis because they've created what they're calling a peace pie, combining a classic scouse stew with ukrainian ingredients. proceeds from the sale of each pie will be split between liverpool's food banks and ukraine's humanitarian charities. tell me, what are the ingredients? it's like a local stew recipe to liverpool. so, really all this is is a version of the scouse but with the addition of what is a kind of classic ukrainian beef borscht soup. and then, each thumb will go in. see? yep. good luck. my teacher has run away, probably because he's too embarrassed.

ifeel as though i gave you the instructions? yeah, i could possibly eat that. i'll leave it to the professionals. very nice indeed. thank you. glad you like it. wow. showcasing and sharing the art, food and culture of ukraine is one way of expressing solidarity here in liverpool. but to really appreciate the disruption and devastation of war, you've got to get how it affects everyday life, like having to have sandbags to protect statues from being destroyed. artwork reflecting the war in ukraine can be seen throughout liverpool and one particularly poignant reminder of why eurovision is being held in liverpool can be seen in the city's iconic cathedral, where the public is invited to share the horrors of escaping war through an immersive video experience. is there one particular bit of the journey that has

a really strong emotion for you? yeah, it is the very beginning. so, it's the most painful part. yeah. we can see the trip from the east part of ukraine to the west part, for escaping the war and find a safe place. it must be kind of strange. people are saying, "wow, this is an amazing piece "of work", and you're thinking, "hang on a minute..." yeah. the truth is that i wish i never do this installation. you wish you'd never had to do this? yeah. right, well we've come to the end of our time here in liverpool, but we've got plenty more treats next time when... oh, my gosh! they're so adorable! hey, buddy! ..ava's in vancouver, meeting the seals and sea lions trying to live their lives in the shadow of canada's biggest port. we're on social media,

if you want to see more in all the usual places, along with loads of other great travel stories from around the bbc. but for now, from me, rajan datar, and the rest of the travel show team here in liverpool, it's goodbye. good morning. welcome to breakfast with rachel burden and ben thompson. 0ur headlines today:

243 points we have a winner. sweden wins the eurovision song contest as singer loreen takes the prize for a second time — but the uk's mae muller comes second to last. but that didn't dampen the party spirit in liverpool, which hosted the contest on behalf of ukraine, where fans celebrated late into the night. ina in a couple of hours, more than 12.000 — in a couple of hours, more than 12,000 runners will set off through the mist _ 12,000 runners will set off through the mist here in leeds in the inaugural— the mist here in leeds in the inaugural rob burrow marathon. this is the _ inaugural rob burrow marathon. this is the finish _ inaugural rob burrow marathon. this is the finish line. rob is being pushed — is the finish line. rob is being pushed around by his good friend kevin _ pushed around by his good friend kevin simfield. and in sport the saints go marching down — i defeat for southampton ends theirii—year- stay in the premier league afteran 11—game run- without a win. and yesterday was the woman's day of the year— and yesterday was the woman's day of the year so _ and yesterday was the woman's day of the year so far for wales, the warmest— the year so far for wales, the warmest weather today will be in the southeast _ warmest weather today will be in the southeast of england. in the southeast, rain moving in. all the

of the princess of wales. now for the eurovision song contest, 2023. and then onto the songs with a familiar eurovision spread of styles. you got epic, from sweden's loreen, the hot favourite. # you're stuck on me like a tattoo # finland brought manic energy. # cha cha cha # the last of the 26 songs, uk's own mae muller. # instead i wrote a song # cheering

the cheering at the end — they'd better check the rivets on the arena roof after that! and the arena is going wild! all sing: # walk on, walk on... the interval act, a celebration of liverpool. # and you'll never walk alone # you will never walk alone # it's not often the show has to pause to wipe away the tears.

and there were a few tears from the winner at the end of the evening. ourwinner, loreen, everybody. loreen, a second eurovision trophy. so a great night for sweden but also you can see that finland here is partying into the night. but poor mae, 25th. however, there was one definite uk winner on the evening — liverpool. david sillito, bbc news. there may be a few sore heads this morning in liverpool and beyond. they are just tired. if you stayed up they are just tired. if you stayed up late to watch it last night and you are up with us this morning, good morning. loads of reaction on social media to the spectacular show. lots of words of support for the uk entry mae muller, who came second to last. i

last night there was a reminder of that when russian missiles hit the home city of the band representing ukraine. we're joined now by our kyiv correspondent, hugo bachega. amid all of the celebration and fun of last night, there was a really serious underlying message, wasn't there, and the missile attack really bringing home what is happening in ukraine. ., ., i. bringing home what is happening in ukraine. ., ., . ukraine. good morning to you. we heard the air _ ukraine. good morning to you. we heard the air raid _ ukraine. good morning to you. we heard the air raid alert _ ukraine. good morning to you. we heard the air raid alert right i ukraine. good morning to you. we heard the air raid alert right after i heard the air raid alert right after eurovision started here in kyiv. then the reports that in the west of the country tvorchi was being attacked by the russians, where the ukrainian entry come from. this morning it is said that two people were wounded as a result of the missile attack. warehouses were hit.

they say no military facilities were attacked. in this as strike by russia. again, another wave of russian attacks targeting cities away from the front lines and carrying out these attacks at night. and there was a curfew here in kyiv. there is a curfew across the country. so there were no public events to celebrate eurovision. we asked some people to send — to film their experience of watching eurovision with family and friends and what is interesting and perhaps and what is interesting and perhaps a snapshot of the night, of how the note unfolded for many ukrainians is that one of those ukrainians told us that one of those ukrainians told us that she had spent a night in an underground shelter because of the air raid alerts. she said it was very stressful. i think that is how many ukrainians across the country spent the night last night. yes. many ukrainians across the country spent the night last night. yes, and hu:o, a spent the night last night. yes, and hugo, a reminder— spent the night last night. yes, and hugo, a reminder of _ spent the night last night. yes, and hugo, a reminder of how— spent the night last night. yes, and hugo, a reminder of how long i spent the night last night. yes, and hugo, a reminder of how long the l spent the night last night. yes, and i hugo, a reminder of how long the war

hugo there in kyiv. people in turkey will vote today in one of the most important elections in the country's modern times. president recep tayyip erdogan, who's been in powerfor 20 years, says he will accept whatever the outcome will be. 0ur senior international correspondent, orla guerin, reports. cheering going wild for erdogan. supporters flocked to his final rally in istanbul — segregated, as usual. singing they were treated to a singalong by their leader. too many, here, he's family. "i call him dad," says darya, "we call him boss — my son calls him grandpa." but some here don't see a softer side. this woman says her friends blocked her on facebook because she supports him.

he is turkey's strongman — combative, streetsmart, wading into conflicts overseas, curbing freedoms at home. this new warship was put on display during the election campaign. president erdogan's turkey is a regional heavyweight, too big to ignore, and that goes down well with many here. for many turks, this ship is a source of pride. for president erdogan, it is a projection of power, strength, authority — the kind of image was to project come election time. the truth is the turkish leader is in the fight of his life to survive. and here the man who could replace him, kemal kilicdaroglu, heading for the mausoleum of turkey's secular founder, mustafa kemal ataturk. he follows in his footsteps. at his final rally in ankara, in driving rain, he wore

a bullet—proof vest, concealed beneath his suit. on stage, heavily armed guards. it is tense here as election day looms. "are you going to change the destiny of turkey? "promise!" he says. kilicdaroglu vows to bring democracy, freedom — a new beginning. it's 100 years since ataturk founded the turkish republic. which way will the country go next? orla guerin, bbc news, ankara. 0ur reporter selin girit is in istanbulfor us this morning. can you explain how politically significant this will be for turkey, selin? it significant this will be for turkey, selin? , ., ., , , selin? it is, enormously

significant. _ selin? it is, enormously significant. this - selin? it is, enormously significant. this is i selin? it is, enormously. significant. this is probably selin? it is, enormously- significant. this is probably the most crucial elections in the last decades. talking about president recep tayyip erdogan, who has ruled this country since 2003. for 20 years he was seen as the invincible political figure years he was seen as the invincible politicalfigure in years he was seen as the invincible political figure in turkey until very recently. now he faces the stiffest challenge yet by an unknown name, kemal kilicdaroglu, this total opposite of mr erdogan, a soft—spoken 74—year—old former bureaucrat. they represent two different, completely different characters, and they represent two completely different visions for turkey. there is the sense of excitement across the country. i just cast my vote in this school just cast my vote in this school just behind me, and i have spoken to some of the voters and they said they are very excited about what is going to happen. some said they were concerned about possible

irregularities but some said "we are ready for a change, we expect that to happen". ready for a change, we expect that to happen'-— to happen". thank you very much, selin. a ceasefire between israel and islamicjihad militants in the gaza strip appears to be holding, despite reports of minor breaches on both sides. the agreement, brokered by egypt, follows five days of violent exchanges which have killed at least 35 people, all but one of them palestinians. the head of the nurses union has called on the government to reopen pay negotiations — saying the nhs is sailing "dangerously close to the wind." pat cullen told the sunday times that a pay offer in the double digits is needed to reach a deal, after nurses in england rejected a 5% increase and a one—off payment. a government source said the offer was final. the bafta television awards are being held in london later today, with bbc dramas the responder and this is going to hurt, leading the nominations. also in the running is paddington'sjubilee tea with the queen, nominated in the most memorable tv moment category.

0ur entertainment correspondent lizo mzimba reports. with so many police dramas, it's hard to stand out from the crowd, but the responder did just that with exceptional performances. three stars are up forawards, including martin freeman and adelayo adedayo. that's not the point. some magistrate will pull a face at me and send me home with a fine stop they won't pay. crime drama sherwood, set in a nottinghamshire village still divided by the miners�* strike decades earlier has performance nominations for lesley manville and adeel akhtar. it is very special to be part of a story like that where you are kind of telling the audience a history lesson without being very didactic and preachy. so i loved it, i loved be a part it.

similarly, comedy am i being unreasonable has two nominations for daisy may cooper and 14—year—old lenny rush. mum, school. we've got to go to school. two minutes, let me watch this. you know what? i still can't believe it. it is crazy. i'm so grateful to be nominated. yes, i'm so happy. while best entertainment performance for claudia winkelmann is among new entertainment show the traitors' nominations. best actress for the imelda staunton who played the queen in the crown. they have never seen so many thoughts go on behind somebody�*s eyes. bafta's highest honour, the fellowship, goes to meera syal. this is swinging britain so we may as well dance... most people know me as mo farah,

but it is in my name, or the reality. among the nominations for most memorable moment — the only category voted for by the public — our olympic gold—medallist mo farah's revelations that he was illegally trafficked to the uk as a child, the final moments of the comedy derry girls, which saw them voting in the good friday agreement referendum in 1998, and paddington bear having tea with the queen ahead of her platinum party at the palace. hgppy happyjubilee, man. thank you for everything. that's very kind. lizo mzimba, bbc news. it was a moment. it was. 17 moments ast it was a moment. it was. 17 moments past seven- _ it was a moment. it was. 17 moments past seven- was — it was a moment. it was. 17 moments past seven. was going _ it was a moment. it was. 17 moments past seven. was going to _ it was a moment. it was. 17 moments past seven. was going to say, - it was a moment. it was. 17 moments past seven. was going to say, a i past seven. was going to say, a little into what happens stop underneath the curtains on the far corner there is a little sliver of

morning. unlike yesterday where it didn't really clear away that cloud should turn back towards the coast, some sunshine here, sunshine to parts of northern and western areas of england and wales before this cloud and rain spreads out of scotland into northern ireland and into these north—western parts. eventually as likely as they will be sunny spells. it will be a cooler day for scotland and northern ireland. yesterday 20— 21 degrees, today more like 11! or 15 degrees. the warmest weather down into the southeast. it was a fairly mild in the southeast tonight, but the rain will gradually move its way into these parts. clear skies elsewhere, a few showers developing, temperatures dropping, to bejulian night for scotland and northern ireland stop four or five celsius. as we go through into next week, high pressure isjust to as we go through into next week, high pressure is just to the west, it is building. that will keep things relatively settled, but over high pressure we have a north—westerly wind which will bring

showers monday morning to scotland and northern ireland, there will be showers dunnies inside of england in the morning as well, perhaps into the morning as well, perhaps into the afternoon, a greater chance of getting a shower or two into northern england, eastern england, and north—eastern scotland, perhaps try the further west you are. by this point the cooler air has made its way down into the southeast, temperatures tomorrow will be lower than today. as for tuesday, another largely find a really, there will be some cloud, a few showers perhaps across northern england, across scotland as well. but on the whole, plenty of dry weather around, temperatures about 12—16 celsius. as we go through the rest of the week, again, it will be mostly settle, plenty of sunny spells on the symbols here, just a few showers cropping up. you notice the temperatures with 17/90 degrees by the end of the week. that is not going to feel too bad. 17—19

disappointing result, based on more of our own faults instead of the opposition's ability, you know, we go marching on, fighting on until the end. nottingham forest secured a valuable point in their fight against premier league relegation with a 2—2 draw at chelsea. they had to come from behind twice, in—form taiwo awoniyi with both of forest's goals, stopping a run of seventh consecutive away defeats for steve cooper's side.

leaving cedwyn scott to score the winning penalty. they're promoted behind wrexham who pipped them to the title and whose co—owners ryan reynolds and rob mcelhenney tweeted their congratulations. wembley will be sold out for the first time for a women's fa cup final this afternoon. the match is between the top two teams in the wsl, but chelsea are attempting to win this trophy for the third year in a row. manchester united are playing in the final for the first time. jo currie looks ahead. manchester united fan izzy gavin never thought she would see the club's women's team play in a major final at wembley. but this weekend she's joining the many fans heading to london hoping to see them lift their first fa cup. it's a dream in watching your club at wembley and it is a dream for the players knowing that they have managed it for the first time in its history, they have got to the final, you've just got to go and enjoy it and it is surprising that we have got here, but i don't think

another team deserves it. united only formed a professional women's team in 2018, many years after most other premier league clubs. theirjourney to wembley caps a remarkable rise for the side who are now seeking their first major trophy. commentator: another title for chelsea. - standing on their way are four time winner's and defending champion's chelsea. no, don't think we are underdogs, to be honest. when we played in the league it was i—0 and i think we actually dominated the game, we played really well and that result could easily have gone a different way. i think we need to take that sort of performance into the cup final and maybe youth will prevail in the end. manchester united and chelsea are also locked in a tight battle for the wsl title, meaning this final could be the first piece in a cup and leave leak double four either side. honestly, when you have back—to—back games you spend most of your days asking what day of the week it is, let alone which tournament it is. it's another game in a big block.

yes, it is the cup final, we worked really hard to get to the final, we have had a really, i think really tough qualification to get to the final, it's where we wanted to be. whoever lifts the trophy will most likely do it in front of a record crowd. for the first time ever the women's fa cup final has sold out wembley and the increase in ticket sales is largely put down to the lionesses' euros win here last summer. absolutely, winning the euros at wembley could not have been more of an iconic moment for women's sport, think, and to have some of those lionesses there on the pitch willjust be the icing on the cake. from ten years ago when he final was played in front of less than 5,000 people in doncaster, to a packed out wembley, this fa cup final is another marker ofjust how far the women's game has grown. jo currie, bbc news. we'll also find out later whether sale or leicester will be playing saracens in the premiership rugby final after they beat

northampton 38—15. saracens will now be chasing a sixth title — and a first in four years following their relegation to the championship — in the final later this month. this one of their five tries on the day. and britain's geraint thomas and tao geoghegan hart remain fifth and sixth in the overall giro d'italia standings after stage eight but it was ireland's ben healy who produced a stunning breakaway to win his first ever grand tour stage on saturday. he attacked with 50 kilometres to go to win by a minute and 49 seconds. the biggest margin in the race since 2018. iamoff iam offto i am off to sale later to see if they can make it through. the first home premiership _ they can make it through. the first home premiership in _ they can make it through. the first home premiership in 17 _ they can make it through. the first home premiership in 17 years - they can make it through. the first home premiership in 17 years or i home premiership in 17 years or something. home premiership in 17 years or something-— home premiership in 17 years or something. home premiership in 17 years or somethina. ,, ., . ., , something. sellout cloud. it will be absolute lemmens. _ something. sellout cloud. it will be absolute lemmens. they _ something. sellout cloud. it will be absolute lemmens. they cannot i something. sellout cloud. it will be i absolute lemmens. they cannot wait. a full report — absolute lemmens. they cannot wait. a full report coming _ absolute lemmens. they cannot wait. a full report coming up _ absolute lemmens. they cannot wait. a full report coming up from - absolute lemmens. they cannot wait. a full report coming up from you - a full report coming up from you later. . ~ a full report coming up from you later. ., ,, , ., a full report coming up from you

down to the southeast we will see the warmest weather, 20 or 21 celsius. as mentioned before, cool across scotland and northern ireland. yesterday got to 20, 21 degrees, today 14 or 15. the dream will continue to move into the southeast, it will break up a touch and bring showers here, clear skies elsewhere, it will feel a bit cooler starting off on monday morning, three orfour celsius in starting off on monday morning, three or four celsius in central scotland, holding onto the milder conditions in the southeast of england. as we go into next week, higher pressure at the worst. that will keep things relatively settled next week. we have a north—westerly wind, the wind comes over the top of the area of high pressure and that will bring some showers initially across scotland and northern ireland, a few showers in the east as we go through the afternoon no—show was mostly concentrated across eastern scotland, northern england, down to the southeast, a little bit dry the further west you are. still some sunny spells for many of us. that cooler weather

would have made its way down into the southeast, temperature is about 14 or 15. as we go through the week, temperatures if anything rising a bit, 17, 18, 19 by the end of the week, dry and fine weather. that sounds pretty — week, dry and fine weather. that sounds pretty good, thank you very much. , ., ., sounds pretty good, thank you very much-_ we'll - sounds pretty good, thank you very much._ we'll be - sounds pretty good, thank you very much._ we'll be back much. there you are. we'll be back with the headlines _ much. there you are. we'll be back with the headlines at _ much. there you are. we'll be back with the headlines at eight - much. there you are. we'll be back with the headlines at eight o'clock. | with the headlines at eight o'clock. before that let's have a look at this week's edition of click. the royal college of physicians is the oldest medical college in england. there's a skull eating his hand.

oh, wow. yeah, henry viii founded the place in 1518 and since then, 122 presidents have overseen enormous changes in our understanding of the human body, its ailments and their treatments. and in the treasures room, a collection of what used to be the cutting edge of medicine. literally. urgh, leeches! but as time's moved on, it's remained at the forefront of developments in medical technology. in the 1950s, its members witnessed the world's first use of ultrasound in obstetrics, in the '90s the world's first robotic surgery, followed in the noughties by the world's first robotic hand. the college has 40,000 members around the world, practising in 30 different specialities. so that's your immunologists, your neurologists, your cardiologists, your gastroenterologists. and our first guest this week needed many specialists and a bit of his own creativity to help him to regain his voice.

best guess this week needed many specialists. # this is the moment # this is the day # when i send all my doubts # and demons on their way...# this is kim hyuk—gun, who's agreed to give us a very special performance as he records his version of this is the moment from the hit musicaljekyll and hyde for his youtube channel. # this is the moment # when all i've done...# also present are his assistant, who works the teleprompter, and his bodyguard, whose name is... untranslated which means...tiger. mmm, yeah. right. you know. 0k. — he's like tiger. laughter now, hyuk—gun is only able to sing for us and his fans because of a special device which helps him to control his breathing.

a, e,0... he vocalises you see, his is a long and painful story. in 2003, hejoined the band the cross. they were a sensation in south korea and hyuk—gun's three—octave range wowed fans across the country. his career was booming. but then... ..in 2012, a motorbike accident left him paralysed. the first year of his recovery was, in his own words, hell. and the accident took away notjust control of his arms and legs, it had also robbed him of the one thing he valued above all else. i wanted to sing again. but my lungs had shrunk, paralysed diaphragm,

make it impossible to make loud sound, yeah, so it becomes difficult to speak loudly. and i couldn't do abdominal breathing, yeah. what he needed was a way of pushing the air out of his lungs with more force. and then one day, his dad worked out how. during practice, my father pressed on my abdomen, yeah, and i realised that it made my voice louder, yeah. he vocalises softly he vocalises louder i started developing a device to do abdominal breathing. hyuk—gun worked with biorobotics

researchers to develop the device, which uses a joystick controlling a padded bar on his midsection to apply the right pressure for the note that he's about to sing. singing requires precise control, yeah, for expression. it's like playing an instrument, yeah. playing... like playing guitar. right. yeah. having lost so much, this device has allowed hyuk—gun to keep hold of a dream that one day he'll be able to perform live once again for his legion of fans. it's my life. it's my passion. i don't think i have ever considered anything else. i have a plan. i will sing in a live show for my fans.

# the greatest moment...# now, that's one show i wouldn't miss for the world. # ..of them all.# that's. .. that is a note and a half. yeah, thank you. as robotics develop, researchers are increasingly looking at ways that will allow machines to feel — not exactly the way we do, but scientists at the university of edinburgh have been developing an e—skin that will help robots that need to sense and touch things better manoeuvre through their environment. softer robots is made of flexible materials and which is safe and easy to use in particularly unstructured environments. it has many potential application fields, such as prosthetics, and it can be used to make more natural—feeling artificial limbs, and also wearable technologies,

so it can be used to sense and respond to the environment related to touch and also movement. this acts like the function of neurons, wires and this acts as the nervous system so they can transmit and conduct the signals all the way up to the central sensing unit. they are quite similar to the brain. one of the main drivers for e—skin development is because we're going to see a change in robotics in the coming years. now, you might be used to seeing something like this, very traditional, it relies on angles and maths to determine where it is. but what if robots became more like this? softer, more malleable. well, they're going to need more information to determine where they are. what is in there? a material that is

basically sensitive to electricity, if you want, and then the conductive part which connects one way to the other with these little wires, with the liquid metal, essentially. east l nne the liquid metal, essentially. east lynne development isjust beginning lynne development is just beginning but it is a burgeoning space with a long list of possibilities for its use. so as machines into the world of sensation, the question is not what will a robot feel, but how much more will a robot feel? tare what will a robot feel, but how much more will a robot feel?— more will a robot feel? i've been in a wheelchair _ more will a robot feel? i've been in a wheelchair for _ more will a robot feel? i've been in a wheelchair for 13 _ more will a robot feel? i've been in a wheelchair for 13 years _ more will a robot feel? i've been in a wheelchair for 13 years now - more will a robot feel? i've been in a wheelchair for 13 years now and l a wheelchair for 13 years now and that brings some challenges. or pushing with an ice cream cone in your hands. please don't fall, please don't fall, these don't fall.

there is one obstacle almost all wheelchair users dread, the beach. what may be someone's idea of paradise can be a real nightmare for us wheelchair folk. it's pretty much impossible for my chair to get through these pebbles. but one company has a high—tech solution. cristian and matt both have spinal injuries which left them unable to walk. their company adapt ability combines technologies from chinese company segway—ninebot and new zealand company omeo technology to create the omeo. hey, martin. how are you doing? you all right? all good, all good. how are you? i'm brilliant, thank you. i feel quite insignificant as a wheelchair user in front of you right now. these are amazing. it is the world's only hands—free, self—balancing chair. lean in the direction that you choose and that's the direction you'll go. and it's these all—terrain wheels that enable cristian and matt

to go gliding across the beach. when you sit in the omeo, how does it make you feel? probably the best thing i've felt in my life since my spinal cord injury. ifeel like i can do anything. i spent most of my days indoors. then i come across what was effectively a prototype of this chair at the time and when i saw that i was like, "damn, i've got to get this." we got one over here, ijust got on it, i went straight into the woods, put my dog on a leash, and away we go. i couldn't believe what was happening, honestly. the people were passing by, looking at me like, "what on earth is that?" and i was like, "this is my freedom." we need to get you on. go on then. being a little anxious, nervous as a good thing. you need to find a balance point. lean forward ever so slightly. that's good, keep going, keep going, pick up a tiny bit more speed. keep going, pick up a tiny bit more seed, , ., ., keep going, pick up a tiny bit more seed. ., , it took a few runs up and down before i really started to get the hang of it. but before long, i was doing 360—degree spins. it feels really safe. a lot of

people might think it's really dangerous. this is the most secure eye ever felt in a wheelchair. the real test is out there on that beach. i've never been on a beach in a wheelchair before. can it do that? i am going to find out. this is cool, innit? engineer tina is keeping close by in case of any mishaps. it's nice. nice. i've done something new today that i never thought that i would do. it really does feel different when you're on this surface. you've really got to kind of concentrate and work a little bit harder to get through this. a brand—new omeo costs over £17,500, but some people may be able to apply for government funding. so, what are my final thoughts on the omeo? i feel like it's a little bit of a toy. it'd be difficult to get on trains, planes, buses, taxis, and that's pretty much the way i live my life.

but i think for anybody who's got upper limb issues, it's easy to handle. and let's be honest, it looks pretty cool. but for me, it's a bit of fun and i'll be sticking to my manual wheelchair for now. and i'm afraid that's it for the short version of click this week. the full—length version is waiting for you on iplayer as ever. find the full-length version is waiting for you on iplayer as ever. and we shau for you on iplayer as ever. and we shall be back _ for you on iplayer as ever. and we shall be back next _ for you on iplayer as ever. and we shall be back next week. - for you on iplayer as ever. and we shall be back next week. thanks l for you on iplayer as ever. and we i shall be back next week. thanks for watching. see you.

taking part himself being pushed around by his good mate kevin sinfield. in sport, the saints go marching down, defeat for southampton end their 11 year stay in the premier league after an 11 game run without a win. yesterday was the warmest day of the year so far for wales, was the warmest day of the year so farfor wales, the was the warmest day of the year so far for wales, the warmest weather today the south—east of england. further north and west there is rain, more details to come. it's sunday 14th of may. our main story. after months of build up — all eyes were on liverpool last night for the final of eurovision, where sweden's loreen was crowned the winner of the song contest for the second time. but it was a disappointing night for the uk's mae muller — who came second to last. our arts correspondent, david sillito, has the story of the night. the public has given you... it was, for a moment, rather tense.

sweden versus finland. ..243 points. we have a winner, sweden. but at the end it was sweden's night. the culmination of a show that began with an artful blend of ukraine and the uk, including the piano skills of the princess of wales. all: let the eurovision i song contest 2023 begin! and then onto the songs with the familiar eurovision spread of stars. we got epic from sweden's loreen, the hot favourite. finland brought manic energy... # cha—cha—cha—cha...#

# instead i wrote a song...# the last of the 26 songs, the uk's own mae muller. # instead, i wrote a song.# and the cheer at the end they'd better check the rivets on the arena roof after that. well, the muller corner is going wild! # walk on, walk on, with hope...# the interval act — a celebration of liverpool. # you'll never walk alone...#

it's not often the show has to have a pause... ..to wipe away the tears. and there were a few tears from the winner at the end of the evening. ourwinner, loreen, everybody. loreen, a second eurovision trophy. singing. it was a great night for sweden. but also you can see that finland here is partying into the night, but poor mae, 25th. however, there was one definite uk winner on the evening — liverpool. david sillito, bbc news, liverpool. # cha—cha—cha—cha—cha—cha!# last nights show was streamed worldwide, and amongst those watching were people in ukraine.

also in the running is paddington's jubilee tea with the queen — nominated in the most memorable tv moment category and entertainment show 'the traitors'. most people who are about to celebrate their 100th birthday are looking forward to a quiet day, maybe some bubbly, and a card from the king. but that's all too tame for annie duplock, who achieved her lifelong dream of having knives thrown at her during a live circus show. the 99—year—old said she "really enjoyed" the experience. it's the speed at which they throw those knives that get me, clearly they know what they are doing. hf they know what they are doing. hf you are there in the audience, that is tense, i am not enjoying that but brilliant, good luck to her.

focusing on the rainforest because it's been heavy this morning around western scotland, you see it moving south and east and it will continue to do so and some brighter skies developing later in the afternoon. some showers ahead of that around central parts, the cloud in the south—east should clear away and as a result more sunshine in the south—east today, you find highest temperatures of 20 or 21. as i say, 20 or 21 degrees yesterday and north—western areas, but only 14 or 15 today. tonight the serie of rain moves into the south—east, staying mild in the south—east but clear skies elsewhere and cooler weather spreading in, temperatures dropped to around two or three degrees in central scotland and some shower starting to work their way in across the north west. high pressurejust to the rest of us and that will stick around for much of this week

but we will have a north—westerly wind, the air goes like that around an area of high pressure bringing some showers for scotland and northern ireland during the morning, some cloud in the forest south—east first thing. into the afternoon showers more focused around scotland and east of england but for most of us, monday will be all right, sunny spells and temperatures 13, 14, 15 degrees, dropping in the south—east compared to today. tasty is fine and dry, a couple of showers dotted around in scotland and northern england, some cloud floating around but on the whole, tuesday should be relatively dry with sunny spells. temperatures creeping up a touch, 15 or16 temperatures creeping up a touch, 15 or 16 degrees on tuesday. continuing to rise towards the end of the week, you see 18 perhaps 90 degrees by thursday and friday, lots of sunny symbols so i get most of the week

will be driver sunshine at times but one or two showers around and you see some rain symbols there on thursday and friday. irate see some rain symbols there on thursday and friday.— see some rain symbols there on thursday and friday. we were saying this morning — thursday and friday. we were saying this morning for _ thursday and friday. we were saying this morning for anyone _ thursday and friday. we were saying this morning for anyone who - thursday and friday. we were saying this morning for anyone who is - thursday and friday. we were saying this morning for anyone who is an i this morning for anyone who is an early riser like us it was the first morning i got up to come into work and there was light in the sky! really exciting! there is a three—week window, doesn't last long when icy daylight when i get up and it was lovely! it when icy daylight when i get up and it was lovely!— it was lovely! it makes such a difference — it was lovely! it makes such a difference but _ it was lovely! it makes such a difference but there - it was lovely! it makes such a difference but there is - it was lovely! it makes such a difference but there is too i it was lovely! it makes such a i difference but there is too much it was lovely! it makes such a - difference but there is too much sun with black clouds for my liking. i know we cannot have it all, but they just want that!— just want that! scrub all of those out! thank _ just want that! scrub all of those out! thank you _ just want that! scrub all of those out! thank you so _ just want that! scrub all of those out! thank you so much. - for sufferers of long covid, extreme fatigue is one of the most debilitating symptoms many have to deal with. but now, scientists at newcastle university think they may have made an important breakthrough, and are trying out a simple device that stimulates the nerves. peter harris reports.

what we're going to do now is, i'm going to ask you to push your thumb into the table. it looks slightly sinister, but this test is trying to unlock the secrets of long covid, and newcastle university are testing people like robin, who suffered debilitating fatigue long after contracting coronavirus. it's completely life—changing, so it would mean a sick day for work and stuff like that. i'll sort of need extra assistance from my partner to look after my son and things like that. and, like, mentally, it has, like, a great impact as well because i could be mid—conversation, just sort of like completely forget what i'm talking about. the scientists think the answer to the fatigue could lie in how the nervous system responds. they've given robin and other volunteers a simple kit, a tens machine — commonly used for pain relief in childbirth, which sends electrical currents to a nerve — which they hope will

alleviate the symptoms of fatigue. it is, i mean, quite literally exciting. it's a stimulator. but, er, yeah, it is... the potential to make a difference is huge. but it's important that we do a careful study that actually shows clearly whether it does work or not. but if it works, it has huge potential. huge because about 1.9 million people suffer from long covid in the uk and half of those have long—term fatigue, and that's why for people like robin, this matters. hopefully, the end goal, for it to fix me and go away. but, yeah, so it's early days yet, i'm only into week three of a 16—week trial. so, yeah, we'lljust see what happens. the team are recruiting more volunteers with post—covid fatigue for the trial. all are part of solving one of the riddles of the pandemic.

peter harris, bbc news. around 20% of sick days in the nhs are put down to mental health issues, as staff face increasing pressures. it's an issue the new intake of medical students at the university of derby are being prepared for, but in a rather dramatic fashion, as our health correspondent rob sissons reports. i just get yelled at by the patients. they don't understand why they can't have a surgery appointment. and some say that they can't do online and that they want to see a doctor in person and they refuse to see a nurse. they get stroppy and they say they'll go to a&e, and that if their condition gets worse, they'll sue us! we get the brunt of it, dr craig, it's just endless. stressed, overloaded, overworked. beneath the white coat is a drama about the pressures on a gp practice... i am in crisis. ..for radiotherapy students, who dropped in to rehearsals today.

it chimes, they say, with some of the strain they've seen in other parts of the nhs, where they say they've been very well supported by staff. they'lljust notice that we're stressed, that we've been to places maybe that day that were quite difficult, and they'll help us. they'll take us aside and give us a minute and just chat through what we've maybe seen, how to process that. i come from an ethnic minority where you have a lot of stigma attached, . obviously mental health, stress, potential suicide, - there's a lot of organisations that now cater for this, - even within the ethnic minority background. so i'm british—pakistani. you don't really havei that awareness at all. we all have been through the same thing. it's very easy to understand each other. i mean, we talk all the time about how we're feeling and how it's impacted us, and it's very easy to understand each other. of course, i'm 0k. do i not look ok? this is all about encouraging students to open up.

so i saw a patient die on placement, which i found really tough. i was only 19 at the time, and i think i wasn't prepared. i wasn't... i didn't really know what to feel or think after that. and so, on the advice of my lecturer, it was to kind of seek support in therapy and how i process that. frontline nhs staff collaborate with the university, which strives to support students with resilience and encourages them to seek help when needed. i think happy staff make for happy patients. so valuing your workforce and making sure that they are at their best when they're working is really important. dr owen is an nhs hospital doctor and says the pressures of the covid pandemic have been a wake—up call to take staff wellbeing and that of the next generation of healthcare workers more seriously. it's an incredibly rewarding job, but it does take its toll as well. there need to be things outside of work which add to you, which give you value and purpose and meaning as well.

and the job can't be be the main thing. i think it's important that there are things outside that help you continue to do the job well. wise words for tomorrow's nhs workforce. rob sissons, bbc news, derby. we'rejoined now by dr subodh dave, a consultant psychiatrist. good morning and thank you for joining us. that piece underlines the importance of this work and we are looking at some of the numbers. one estimate suggesting one doctor dies by suicide every three weeks. astonishing numbers. do you see the pressure on the front line? yes. pressure on the front line? yes, sadly behind _ pressure on the front line? yes, sadly behind the _ pressure on the front line? yes, sadly behind the numbers - pressure on the front line? yes, sadly behind the numbers are real people _ sadly behind the numbers are real people with real stories and i come across— people with real stories and i come across people who have routinely been _ across people who have routinely been experiencing distress at work and feeling guilty about not turning up and feeling guilty about not turning up for— and feeling guilty about not turning up for work and not wanting to let

life in the 1940s and '50s in bournville, a garden village in birmingham developed by the cadbury family in the late—1800s to alleviate cramped living conditions. these amateur films — including the model boating pool — have been unearthed by bournville village trust. how much has it changed? well, in some ways, very little, i think, in the historic films we've seen. the model boating lake is a hive of activity, with people enjoying the facilities that are present. and today, that's still very much the case. we want to share them with people because so many people have fantastic memories of bournville. but also, we want to know more. we want people to approach us if they recognise a family member or have recollections and memories of a special time in bournville. dale wilford and sheila allen live in bournville and they've never seen these films before. they're watching the annual bournville village festival, which dale still organises today.

what none of us know is that dale's about to spot her nine—year—old that's me there. she's the second girl dancing around the maypole. what was it like, seeing yourself? horrible. surely not? she looks lovely. oh, it wasn't too bad. it brought back the memories of everybody having - to wear the white dresses. and changing all together, and all excited. _ sheila allen started working at cadbury aged 15 and met her husband bob there. well, it brought - back a lot memories. not just the the maypole, - the area, you know, watching, seeing all the buildings, _ and nothing's really changed at all. this is dame elizabeth cadbury, wife of one of the chocolate factory�*s founding fathers, george cadbury, at selly manor. incredibly, selly manor here once stood a mile away, in selly oak, and it was threatened with demolition. and in 1912, george cadbury had it taken down piece by piece

never know. watching on the bbc iplayer. it is, on their phone, there are all kinds of ways these days. let's take the sport and hue is with us. there is a lot to talk about. if you are dedicated enough to run a marathon you might run to the start line so they might still be at home. it is your warm up, exactly! it is your warm up, exactly! it is your warm up, exactly! it is a fascinating day, it is the women's fa cup final and manchester united are involved in both the fa cup finals. the men are about to play the 21st later. but the women are in for the first time. it has been an extraordinary last decade for chelsea who manchester united are playing, they have won 11 major trophies. while manchester united have only existed for half that time. jo currie looks ahead. manchester united fan izzy gavin never thought she would see the club's women's team play in a major final at wembley. but this weekend, she's joining

the many fans heading to london hoping to see them lift their first fa cup. it's a dream going in watching your club at wembley and it is a dream for the players knowing that they have managed it for the first time, it's history, they have got to the final, you've just got to go and enjoy it and it is surprising that we have got here, but i don't think another team deserves it. united only formed a professional women's team in 2018, many years after most other premier league clubs. theirjourney to wembley caps a remarkable rise for the side who are now seeking their first major trophy. commentator: another title for chelsea. standing in their way are four time winners and defending champions chelsea. no, i don't think we are underdogs, to be honest. when we played in the league, it was 1—0 and i think we actually dominated the game, we played really well and that result could easily have gone a different way. i think we need to take that sort of performance into the cup final and maybe youth will prevail in the end. manchester united and chelsea

are also locked in a tight battle for the wsl title, meaning this final could be the first piece in a cup and league double for either side. honestly, when you have back—to—back games, you spend most of your days asking what day of the week it is, let alone which tournament it is. it's another game in a big block. yes, it is the cup final, we worked really hard to get to the final, we have had a really, i think, a really tough qualification to get to the final, it's where we want to be. whoever lifts the trophy will most likely do it in front of a record crowd. for the first time ever, the women's fa cup final has sold out wembley and the increase in ticket sales is largely put down to the lionesses' euros win here last summer. absolutely, winning the euros at wembley could not have been more of an iconic moment for women's sport, i think, and to have some of those lionesses there on the pitch willjust be the icing on the cake.

from ten years ago, when the final was played in front of less than 5,000 people in doncaster, to a packed—out wembley, this fa cup final is another marker ofjust how far the women's game has grown. jo currie, bbc news. southampton captain james ward—prowse had some revealing things to say after his team were relegated from the premier league, taking about 'standards slipping' since pre—season and that they didn't do everything they could to stay up. southampton's 11—year stay in the top flight was ended with a 2—0 defeat to fulham, a record 24th of the league season. aleksandr mitrovic — back from an eight—game ban — scored fulham's second to secure victory and send southampton down to the championship. they've not won any of their last 11 matches and have had three managers this season. it hurts everybody, and everybody has special feelings for the club. and, yeah, most of all, ifeel for the supporters because they don't deserve to see what we produced this season, and that's the disappointing thing for us. like i said, i think it's a tough

day, but one that we have to digest, and look at ourselves and make sure that we come in tomorrow looking forward, towards the future. so southampton are gone, and time is running out for those other clubs threatened with relegation. the two playing yesterday each picked up a point, although new leeds manager sam allardyce says they should have had all three against newcastle. leading 1—0, leeds missed a penalty and then gave two penalties away, before rasmus kristensen's deflected strike saw them snatch a 2—2 draw. the point means leeds stay in the bottom three — a point from safety, with two games to go. the players are getting the idea that... well, you know, if they want to be a premier league player, they're going to have to keep improving from here on in to try and get two wins in the next two games and maintain their premier league status, and with the help of the fans and the support they've given us today. and even though it's a disappointing result — based on more of our own faults, instead of the opposition's ability

— you know, we go marching on and fighting on till the end. nottingham forest's point takes them three clear of the bottom three and was claimed at chelsea, also with a 2—all draw. in—form taiwo awoniyi with both of forest's goals, as they came from 2—1 down to stop a run of seven consecutive away defeats. chelsea — who reports this morning suggest have agreed a deal to make mauricio pochettino their new manager — are 11th. we know one team who'll be relegated from the premier league. well, there's one more promotion spot available too. coventry play middlesbrough in the first leg of their championship play—off semi—final this lunchtime. and in the other tie, it's sunderland who have the advantage, after they fought back from 1—0 down to beat luton 2—1 in theirfirst leg. amad diallo with a glorious first for sunderland at the stadium of light. the second leg is on tuesday. as those teams fight to get out of the football league, notts county have won a place in it. it took 107 points, 48 games and two incredibly dramatic playoffs, but they beat chesterfield on penalties at wembley to win

promotion from the national league. after coming from behind twice, county brought on goalkeeper archie mair for the shootout and he saved two penalties. it left cedwyn scott to score the winning spot kick. they're promoted alongside wrexham, as both teams broke a host of records. celtic have already secured the title in scotland, but glasgow rivals rangers handed them just a second league defeat of the season. that's after they won the last old firm derby of the season. 3—0 at ibrox. rangers ending a disappointing campaign on a high and a first victory over celtic for manager michael beale. the defeat ends celtic�*s hopes of surpassing the club's record points tally of 106. we'll also find out later whether sale or leicester will be playing saracens in the premiership rugby final, after they beat northampton 38—15. saracens will now be chasing a sixth title and a first in four years, following their relegation to the championship,

in the last couple of days, simon. temperatures were 20, 201 degrees, but in eastern england, cloud was stubborn and it was only 10 degrees. massive difference. just because of the cloud. look at him with his meteorological knowledge! i know, ease very good! this is the scene in cardiff, higher cloud starting to move its way in. but across central and eastern areas, like yesterday, it starts this morning cloudy, misty, murky, fog patches and that is in worcestershire. but unlike yesterday, that should hopefully clear away across eastern areas. further north and west, changed yesterday with this weather front moving in bringing in rain. that has been heavy across western areas of scotland. this is what has happened already, the rain falling at the

moment. steadily moving south and eastis moment. steadily moving south and east is at the moment, as we go through today, it will clear away from northern ireland and scotland, so sunny spells developing later on. that cloud should clear away, there should be sunshine developing here, showers around central and central southern areas. but the warmest place today will be in the south east, temperatures 20 or 21. big difference to the 10 degrees we had yesterday. meanwhile, a cooler day for scotland and northern ireland and the temperatures here dropping by about 4 or 5 sources. for tonight, this area of rain will move into the south east, it will break up into the south east, it will break up into showers, holding on to milder conditions in the south east. but elsewhere, clear skies, turning chillier than last night. overnight lows of 3 or 4 degrees in central areas of scotland. high pressure to the west of the uk. that will keep things generally settled over the next few days. but the air travels around the top of the area of high

pressure, so that means a north—westerly wind will bring showers from scotland, northern ireland, wales during the morning. by ireland, wales during the morning. by the afternoon, showers more concentrated towards central and eastern areas. but you can see for many, there will also be some sunny spells for that monday. but it will feel cooler, especially in the south east, where those temperatures will be at 14 or 15 celsius. those temperatures should tend to creep up a little bit more as we go into tuesday. largely dry. there will be some cloud floating around. one or two showers perhaps the northern ireland, northern england, scotland. for most of us, tuesday looking like a dry day, temperatures 214 to 16 celsius. and temperatures continue to rise through the week. 18 or 19 degrees by the end of the week. finally, a bit of warmth in the air, finally. thanks, simon. liverpool has been buzzing for the past week and, last night, the biggest party the city has seen in a very long time came to an end.

arenas with different names are available. —— m&s arena. in the cold light of day, feeling a bit sad. but what close battle between sweden and finland coming down to the final moments. and to win eurovision, you need an entrant popular with the jury need an entrant popular with the jury and the general public. obviously, finland was huge with the public and you could not go anywhere without hearing chris two. but loreen was popular with the juries and had a clear lead. —— cha cha cha. it was an uphill climb for anyone to beat her loreen came out on top. and that is the issue and a lot will be made and a lot of discussion about why mae muller didn't score higher. and we were saying earlier it feels like there was a lot of amazing songs by strong

female singers and therefore, that category was really competitive because it was not something different. exactly right, i feel like the audit is really crucial to how well you perform on the night. mae muller was the last in the order, massive crowd. the hosts were barely able to hear themselves think. and talking directly afterwards. because of the amazing applause there was in the room. butjust before then, you just had israel. noa kirel, phenomenal performer committed so many flips on the floor. and just before then was norway, another big mango. and i feeljust the norway, another big mango. and i feel just the combination norway, another big mango. and i feeljust the combination of norway, another big mango. and i feel just the combination of those and fans will really start to compare those songs side by side. and i think mae mullerjust missed out on that. and i also think if you look at the final, the range of the performances were really strong. but the uk was not the only one with an upset. france, iwas

the uk was not the only one with an upset. france, i was expecting that to be right at the top of the charts and that was a real big shock it really didn't. i think people, very much like an election, because trust me, eurovision is, will pour over the data trying to work out why this song performed well, why did this song performed well, why did this song performed well, why did this song performed poorly and where they can take it from there next year? give sweden full credit, she is a phenomenal performer so take nothing away from her. and this is the seventh time they have won so they will equal the record with ireland, sweden, the 50th anniversary of waterloo and abba's victory, you couldn't write the script, could you? no, you really couldn't, and i was in the room and the press conference at 1:30am. they were handing over the plans for delegation, they received the plan of how the european broadcasting union, the rules and the guidelines for eurovision to be in sweden, they

have to follow that. loreen was absolutely overjoyed. a rather surreal press conference in part because it resulted in her providing an acoustic performance at the very end of it of tattoo. but you can tell how much this meant to her and how much she had been working towards it. and she was asked, what have you been looking forward to know that the eurovision contest is over, and she said she has not been drinking for the last six months, so she's looking forward to a nice glass of wine. very enough, but you don't get those drinking pints every night. and speaking of venues, a word on liverpool. because, my goodness, the atmosphere and the build—up and the preparation that has gone into it as a host city, liverpool knocked it out of the park. oh, absolutely. i was liverpool knocked it out of the park. oh, absolutely. iwas speaking to fans who are here, who went to turin last year, and they said they could not be any more different. in turin, there was a big vibe in the

stadium, but in the city, it didn't feel like there was eurovision at all. in liverpool, it could not be any more different. just the vibe and the spirit and positivity was radiating. and i also think the bbc deserve some recognition because that was one of the biggest broadcasting events they will ever have to pull off in its history. we will see the figures later, but around 160 million viewers to be expected. i think it was faultless. just the technical skill. high standards of all the performance. the interval act, incredibly powerful and moving and relating of course liverpool with kyiv in mind with ukraine. and just the fact that i really do think it was faultless, with a great amount of humour. i do think this will go down as being one of the most highly regarded eurovision song contest because it really was faultless. and of course, coming a week after the coronation. so the preparation that went into that massive televisual event,

straight up to liverpool to do this. i feel if you are working for or with the bbc, you will probably believe next week, you will have a quieter week and you are not going to have that much to do. i also think that generally, it has made people realise the role the bbc has in shaping a big national event and being at the heart of the nation. and i think it is also highlighting the importance of tv viewing. we are living in an age where everything is so fragmented, streaming services are very much of our time and people will always be on social media. but there are still moments you can have a real cut through and those moments are people going around the tv and watching it together. i think that is a strength public service broadcasters such as the bbc have compared their rivals because they have a tradition in doing so. i guess many people are now wondering, as well as the eurovision song contest, what else can the bbc do or what else can be held in big venues

like this that could be on the same scale? could it be eurovision or something else? scott, thank you so much, thank you for getting up early, a delight to see you this time of the morning. have a lie down in a dark room. i am going to bed! good night, everybody! see you later. that is all from us this morning. breakfast is back tomorrow from six o'clock. sunday would laura kuenssberg getting under way on bbc one, we will see very soon, goodbye. million for alexis mac allister and pep guardiola has told his players to forget about the champions league and focus on the premier league. that's our lot. thanks, chaps. it's been all—wright on the night! goodbye!

good morning. hard times, but we'll have some happy times here this morning too, i promise. measly growth, spiralling prices for longer and interest rates up again. let me be clear. inflation remains too high. it's ourjob to get it all the way down to the 2% target and have it stay there.
