colleagues who are facing away. colleagues who are facing there, it's a serious issue that will have to be dealt with whether president erdogan really does get a victory or kemal kilicdarouglu. on theissue victory or kemal kilicdarouglu. on the issue of civil liberties it would be interested to see how president erdogan handles in other five years and whether he will carry on precisely as he has over the last 20 years. particularly, i would say, since the coup in 2010 mikey really tightened his grip on power and whether that would carry on or whether that would carry on or whether there would be a change in attitude or change in behaviour and the way president erdogan handles his next five years. you're watching bbc news. and

max verstappen sustains his lead from the skies in monaco. an already depleted british contingent at roland garros shrinks further, dan evansis roland garros shrinks further, dan evans is beaten on day one of the french open. and you have a friend and me, geraint thomas cannot win the giro d'italia but he could help mark cavendish in rome. hello again. the premier league's final day brings with it pictures that make it unique. it used to be fans with radios, now with phones,
7:33 pm
and then those same supporters ending a frantic 90 minutes in triumph. or tears. leeds and leicester were sent down. for leicester, it was not enough and this was the thing about an hour ago when the news filtered through to the king power. i will speak to our corresponds and who is there. a0 minutes, leicester were safe, but the drama predicted it would not last. that were safe, but the drama predicted it would not last.— it would not last. that is right. leicester _ it would not last. that is right. leicester fans _ it would not last. that is right. leicester fans are _ it would not last. that is right. leicester fans are no - it would not last. that is right. j leicester fans are no strangers it would not last. that is right. i leicester fans are no strangers to unlikely stories, are they? as you say, at half time, it seemed as if they might pull off their great escape, because harvey barnes had given them the lead here. everton were drawn in their match so at that point it looked as if leicester were
7:34 pm
going to stay up and there was a huge buzz around the king power stadium, a real sense of optimism, but that optimism faded once everton took the lead. the fans were staring at those mobile phone is desperately hoping that everton would concede, but they did not and that means that leicester stay in the premier league is now over. everton stay up, leicester, they go down. along with leeds united and southampton. those bare statistics tell only part of the story of what has been another dramatic finale to the premier league season asjoe reports. leicester are relegated. for two huge clubs, their greatest fear is now reality. just seven years ago, leicester city were champions, now the foxes are face up to relegation. they go down with leeds united, who is three estee has come to an end.
7:35 pm
on the last day of the season, three teams were on a tight rope, but everton's future was in the huns. they have been at the top flight for 69 years and now theyjust had to beat bournemouth to stay there again. just like was in their hands. at half—time it was 0—0, but in the second half everton exhaled. on that nervous afternoon, the tension was smashed. everton had the goal they needed and as leicester listened into goodison, it was the worst news to her. leicester had to win, west ham were beaten but it was cruelly relevant. for leeds, the last chance was a long shot as they went at spurs to win, harry kane picks them off. even sam allardyce could not save this dark season. it was a
7:36 pm
sequence of results they had paid for at goodison, for the team who have been in this league since 195a. it still means so much to stay in it. andy, stay there because we're going to hearfrom all three managers involved in the relegation story. those who have suffered knocks defeat but still relegation for leicester city. == defeat but still relegation for leicester city.— defeat but still relegation for leicester city. -- not defeat. peole leicester city. -- not defeat. peeple will — leicester city. -- not defeat. people will have _ leicester city. -- not defeat. people will have to _ leicester city. -- not defeat. people will have to look - leicester city. -- not defeat. people will have to look into | leicester city. -- not defeat. i people will have to look into the future now of what we do and what the club does. there will be a review obviously. i really cannot comment on that. it is seven weeks and eight games to try and keep us in the premier league and i failed on that. ., , ., in the premier league and i failed on that. . , ., ., ., ., , on that. have you found a viable club to suggest _ on that. have you found a viable club to suggest you _ on that. have you found a viable club to suggest you can - on that. have you found a viable club to suggest you can come i on that. have you found a viable i club to suggest you can come back next season? i club to suggest you can come back next season?— club to suggest you can come back next season? ~' , ., ~ ., , next season? i think everyone knows it is built to —

7:39 pm
contract, their manager dean smith's contract, their manager dean smith's contract is also up, you heard him talking about it, seven players as well, but as every feature of key players like james maddison, harvey barnes, said there is a sense of almost an end of an era here at leicester city. there will be some tough questions, financial questions also for the owners. for leeds, if anything things are far more toxic at elland road and you sensed that this afternoon, there were a chance of sack the fans. —— there were chances of sack the board from the fans. there were questions of a potential takeover at leeds united but certainly the way they have gone down this season has angered so many fans at elland road and where you bearin fans at elland road and where you bear in mind the last time they leeds united were relegated back in
7:40 pm
200a, it took them 16 years to get back into the premier league, so leeds united fans will be hoping desperately that nothing like that happens again, but as i say, the mood at elland road this afternoon was far more toxic and certainly for the owners of leeds united, there are going to be some very uncomfortable questions over the forthcoming weeks and months. budge. forthcoming weeks and months. andy, thank ou forthcoming weeks and months. andy, thank you very — forthcoming weeks and months. andy, thank you very much _ forthcoming weeks and months. andy, thank you very much indeed. _ is and he was mentioning, leads it needed the most to get their way to avoid relegation today. a a—1 defeat to spurs meant they were never close to surviving. the club's fans immediately turned on the owners and the team with a return to the championship after just three seasons in the premier league. the last of their three managers this season was sam allardyce. it has been a huge disappointment for me not to have got the players to have got more results and to
7:41 pm
listen, i cannot blame for not trying, they gave everything they have got but they make those sorts of errors at this level because you will get punished with people like son and harry kane and unfortunately thatis son and harry kane and unfortunately that is what happened today. i'm disappointed for the fans and what they have seen probably notjust in my short time but for most of the season, they have supported us. they are very entitled to show their disapproval, there is no doubt about that. filled the stadium to support the lads and the lads unfortunately should have given them a lot more to get behind them and they did, like they did against newcastle. everton can now add 2023 to previous serious flirtations with relegation in 199a and 1998. then it was graham stuart and gareth farrelly who kept their long run
7:42 pm
in the top flight going while at goodison park today abdoulaye doucoure added his name to that list. only they knew that a win would be enough and he provided it for sean dyche's side. ugly days, there is nojoy in ugly days, there is no joy in that. it is about keeping calm, focused, and i was faced with the way the team worked. it is the most stretched i have seen occur, particularly of their size, it was a misaligned squad when i got here and i knew that, there is a lot of work to be done without. misfiring, the fight, although things were questioned but i have been pleased with it getting together the group of players, keeping their eyes on the prize and to get the job done. i am learning. i have taken a step and i'm learning about the club and the fans have been terrific since i've got her. we have to maintain that, i
7:43 pm
think the note the club is not where they wanted to be. it is in a massive transition and we have to build on the back of what we have achieved in the end the season. flan achieved in the end the season. can ou t achieved in the end the season. can out to achieved in the end the season. can you try to describe, in your beautiful english, the emotional scoring that goal with such a great strike? , . ., , scoring that goal with such a great strike? , ., , ., , strike? yes, always on the second ball when i— strike? yes, always on the second ball when i knew _ strike? yes, always on the second ball when i knew i _ strike? yes, always on the second ball when i knew i needed - strike? yes, always on the second ball when i knew i needed to i strike? yes, always on the second| ball when i knew i needed to strike it as hard _ ball when i knew i needed to strike it as hard as— ball when i knew i needed to strike it as hard as possible to hit the target, — it as hard as possible to hit the target, yes, thank god it went in and it_ target, yes, thank god it went in and it was— target, yes, thank god it went in and it was in a amazing feeling. so here's a look at how it all finished. everton survive by the same two—point margin with which they started the day. leeds ended up five points from safety and along with leicester willjoin southampton in the championship next year. at the other end the top six
7:44 pm
all stayed where they were but the key focus today was seventh. the final european place. it was aston villa that claimed it, holding off spurs, who won at leeds. they'll be in the europa conference league next season. a return to europe after a 13—year absence. aston villa sealed their spot in the conference league with a 2—1win over brighton. ollie watkins got what proved to be the winner. their win 15 or 25 matches under the spaniard. playing 15 years in europe and to achieve it again for the next year is fantastic and i want to be motivated with every work in the club, every employer, because i want to play here as well, have a good mentality of our work and try to do in a way that is important her.
7:45 pm
manchester city and the defeat. arsenal quite the opposite. manchester united secured third place after beating fulham. made a little easier because of newcastle united's draw. new finished fourth. always of a strange anonymous result on the final day of the season, certainly it seems so. southampton bottom of the table and liverpool in fifth, drawing a—a. dundee united have had their relegation from the scottish premiership confirmed after they were beaten 3—2 by motherwell. united finish bottom of the league, having conceded 70 league goals, while motherwell end the season in seventh. perhaps the biggest game of the day though was at rugby park, where kilmarnock ensured their scottish premiership survival with a rousing victory over ross county whose fate will now be decided in the relegation play—off.
7:46 pm
they sealed a 3—1win. a familiar picture at the bottom of the scottish premiership. the team who are not guaranteed to finish on 31 and 3a points in at ross county and kilmarnock. glasgow celebrations are green and white once again as celtic beat rangers 2—0 in the women's scottish cup final. in the first final to be played at hampden park, celtic got two goals in quick succession in the second half. natasha flint opened the scoring from a corner. the next goal may look like a replay but this time it was claire o'riordan who headed home. the final whistle blew to not only bring a trophy but consolation after they lost out on the league title in the dying minutes of the season last weekend.
7:47 pm
just a dream come true. i have watched celtic men do that so many times in my ten years at celtic. to do it and be down in history was such a special group of players again just feels amazing and it is amazing that there is a crowd that includes lots of girls that can now see what they can do in scotland. this year for women's football has been unbelievable and when i was a kid i did not even dream less because it was so far from reality but now it is reality i'm delighted. it is the best feeling. wembley stadium witnessed a fairy tale championship play off final yesterday and today's league two final followed suit. after starting the season as second favourites to be relegated, carlisle ended it popping champagne corks after beating stockport county. it was a nerve—jangling 120 minutes plus penalties, with victory masterminded by carlisle's local heroes, as nick parrott reports. carlisle were last promoted in 2006
7:48 pm
when paul simpson guided them to the league 2 title. 17 years on, he did it again. he returned to his home town club in february last year and save them from relegation. he is used to beating the odds, but when carlisle's john used to beating the odds, but when carlisle'sjohn melhuish deflected this past his own goalkeeper, simpson might have feared his run of defeats might become six. it might have been too much to overturn, but on the hour mark, simpson started making changes and they paid off with substitute patrick sending the game to extra time. he was not the only hero. carlisle's thomas holy and stockport�*s ben should shoot out. they had spent the last two weeks preparing for the scenario and it turned out to be time well spent as there was only one save and academy graduate fired them into league 1.
7:49 pm
well, while for one team called the hatters it was playoff despair, for another the penalties went the other way and memorably so. luton are back in the top flight after 31 years after beating coventry in the championship final. among those celebrating their extraordinary success, the broadcaster nick owen. iam i am buzzing, still pinching myself. cannot believe it after what we have been through. a group of guys got together back in 2008 to try and save the club on the brink of bankruptcy, we ended up in the conference and somehow, however ambitious those guys were, there is the best is why, they would have never have thought we would get the premier league so quickly. it is just beyond belief, we are thrilled. we have been on a continual graft of progress is the next ten years or so and we have to pay tribute to our manager who got us out of the conference and then nathanjones and rob edwards. it isjust conference and then nathanjones and rob edwards. it is just amazing conference and then nathanjones and rob edwards. it isjust amazing it
7:50 pm
has happened so quickly. we thought perhaps it would happen when we got into a new stadium when we are more ready for the premier league, but we are there now and this will facilitate, speed up, accelerate our moving to a new stadium because the funds will be so invaluable. it is a fantastically exciting time for luton town and for all those who stood by it in dark times. and the wild wild profile for luton now, it will really help the community massively. before we move on from football, some news from france. the psg goalkeeper sergio rico is in intensive care after a horse riding accident. rico, who spent some time on loan at fulham a few years ago, was on the bench as psg won a record 11th ligue un title with a draw at strasbourg. from there he went back to his native spain, where local media report he fell after being in collision with a runaway horse. he was flown by helicopter to a hospital in seville and psg say he's in a serious condition.
7:51 pm
max verstappen led from start to finish and survived a rain shower to win the monaco grand prix in his red bull. it was a 39th win of the world champion's career and it extends his lead in this year's drivers' standings to 39 points. ben croucher has more. monaco, the playground of the rich, famous and for one afternoon, 20 of the fastest drivers on the planet. away we go. and highly skilled, too. no drama at the start. further down the road, the walls of the principality can close in on you. so can the clouds. just a sprinkling ofjeopardy. some drops of rain. it was more than just a few drops. putting a fresh twist on this one. carlos sainz and sergio perez put ambition ahead of adhesion, but not max verstappen who led from lights out until the chequered flag. the master of monte carlo for the second time and able
7:52 pm
to enjoy a shower of success. when you are that far in the lead, you do not want to push too hard, but you do not want to lose too much time, so it is quite difficult in that scenario. clipped the world a few times, it was difficult out there, but that is monaco. let's have a quick look at some of the other stories making the headlines today. israel folau was booed after scoring a try for a world 15 in their a8—a2 defeat to the barbarians at twickenham. he was sacked by rugby australia in 2019 after making anti—gay comments on social media. great britain's men beat the olympic champions belgium in the pro hockey league in london. it was an impressive performance to win 3—1, with an equally stunning goal from nicholas bandurak completing the victory. meanwhile, the women's team lost 3—1 to belgium at lee valley. grace balsdon broke the deadlock early in the first quarter but it
7:53 pm
wasn't enough. and the mixed coxed four were notable winners for britain at the european rowing championships in slovenia. cox erin kennedy shed tears on the podium after helping her crew win gold a year after she was diagnosed with breast cancer. she was given the all—clear in march after undergoing 17 rounds of chemotherapy and a double mastectomy. the second tennis grand slam of the year got under way at roland garros today — but already, the french open is over for british number one dan evans. he's out in the first round. whilst elsewhere, ukraine's marta kostyuk said "people should be embarrassed" after she was booed off court. with a round up of day one, here's dan ogunshakin. british interest in roland garros was limited to just three players this year. that number now stands at two after world number 25 dan evans was dumped out by thannasi kokkinakis. the british number one lost in straight sets and has lost his last three tournaments
7:54 pm
without winning a match. geopolitics were in play early on philippe chatrier as aryna sabalenka got her french open campaign under way against marta kostyuk — a player the former believes "hates her". the belorussian sabalenka can finish roland garros as world number one but it was her ukrainian opponent who impressed early on. kostyuk wasn't lacking in motivation but sabalenka has form and momentum on her side and was soon blasting her way to the first set. sabalenka cranked up the power in the second and although kostyuk fought bravely, she was repeatedly outgunned. from a—1 up, the second seed wasted little time in wrapping up the match which became noteworthy for kostyuk�*s refusal to shake sabalenka's hand. i understand why they are not shaking hands with us, i can imagine they do not want to shake hands with us and then what will happen to them from the ukrainian side so i
7:55 pm
understand that and i understand that this is not kind of personal, you know. while sabalenka shone, maria sakkari slumped. the semi—finalist in 2021 found herself a set down to an inspired karolina muchova who refused to let up in the second. the unseeeded czech, who knocked sakkari out of roland garros last year, once again proved to be greek�*s nemesis. dispatching her in straight sets. no such problems for sakkari's compatriot stefanos tsitsipas although he was made to work far harder than he'd like againstjirgi vesely, an opponent ranked a55th in the world. the greek raced into a two—set lead before losing the third. he looked set to lose the fourth as vesely had three set points but tsitsipas rallied in the tie—breaker to move into round two. there was a fright for karen khachanov as he took on france's constant lestienne. the frenchman proved a constant menace for the 11th seed taking the opening two sets to the delight
7:56 pm
of the crowd on suzanne lenglen. but he was unable to maintain his stellar showing as khachanov rallied to move into the second round. dan ogunshakin, bbc news. the indian premier league final will have to be played tomorrow after rain prevented a ball being bowled in ahmedabad today. the gujarat titans and chennai super kings never got a chance with persistent downpours initially delaying the toss, then eventually leading the umpires to call it off with a reserve day to be used. and finally we leave you tonight with a story of putting your own disappointment behind you to help your friend succeed. yesterday, britain's geraint thomas said he felt "pretty devastated" after losing the giro d'italia to slovenia's primoz roglic, here in the pink leader'sjersey. but rather than wallow he helped lead his friend mark cavendish, in the white, to victory on the final stage in rome. cavendish was short of team mates towards the end and despite riding for a different team, thomas helped position cavendish for the final sprint
7:57 pm
and he went on to claim his seventeenth and final giro d'italia victory as he'll retire at the end of the year. at 38 cavendish is the oldest rider to win a giro stage and afterwards showed his gratitude to his old friend thomas. it isa it is a nice way to finish. it has been a busy old day. that's all from sportsday. now let's get the weather. where we have the lightest of the winds, parts of north—west england, south of scotland, that it will have some of scotland, that it will have some of the highest of the temperatures, up of the highest of the temperatures, up to around 20 or 21 degrees. compare withjust a0 up to around 20 or 21 degrees. compare with just a0 degrees in norwich, 17 in london and certainly a coolerfeel in norwich, 17 in london and certainly a cooler feel in the far north of scotland. ——just 1a a cooler feel in the far north of scotland. —— just 1a degrees. regardless of the feel of the weather, if you have sunshine, that is strong at this time of year so uv levels are likely to be high. as we look ahead to tuesday, we see another area cloud running in from
7:58 pm
the north sea which could plague eastern parts of england for a time. far north of scotland is likely to stay cloudy but elsewhere lots of sunshine, glasgow could be the warmest spot, around 2a degrees. as we had deep into the week, high pressure pressure still with us. the centre of the jaime slip a little north west, still allowing this chilly breeze into some eastern and southern parts. highest temperatures likely to be across the west of the uk, heading to around 25 or 26 degrees in the best of any sunshine. that is all from leaf. goodbye for now.
