and the boos ring out in paris as diplomatic relations are strained on the first day of the french open. hello and welcome. the final day of the premier league season was primarily about the three sides battling to stay up, with only one of them able to. seven years after they were champions, leicester city have been relegated despite beating west ham 2—1. their fate was out of their hands, and although they briefly lifted themselves out of the bottom three when they went ahead, everton�*s 1—0 victory over bournemouth saw the foxes finishing 18th, two points off safety, and they'll play in the championship next season. leicester finished before everton, which meant the players had to wait for confirmation they were relegated — their victory ultimately futile.

i think people will have to look into the future and what we do, what the club does. there will be a review, obviously. i really can't comment on that. my remit was seven weeks and eight games to keep us in the premier league and unfortunately, ifailed. a terrible season for leicester city, just three wins in theirfinal17 games, just the one clean sheet since november. this was the reaction from some fans outside the king power stadium. we tried our hardest. i don't think we deserved it, because we've not played well. them players are not playing for the club, for the shirt. disappointing, - but what can you do? poor all season. the whole season has been not right from the word go. the belief wasn't there. you can tell the club has been quite toxic,
1:47 am
the players on the pitch, the heart hasn't been there. our motto, foxes never quit, and we quit a long time ago i'm afraid. losing, losing, losing, i it's what you get, isn't it? rodgers should have gone seven months ago when we lost to brighton, tottenham. .. we shouldn't have come to this. we'll come straight back up. but we will lose - some good players. hopefully not. leeds united were relegated — they had to beat tottenham and hope other results went their way but none of those things happened, they lost 4—1 at elland road, their stay in the top division lasting just three seasons. sam allardyce was brought in to try to keep them up but he managed just a point in four games in charge. when leeds last went down in 2004, it took 16 years before they returned. it's been a huge disappointment for me not to have got the players to have got more results.
1:48 am
listen, i can't blame them for not trying. they gave everything they've got, but you can't make those sort of errors at this level, because you will get punished with people like son and harry kane. that's what happened today. very disappointing. i'm very disappointed for the fans. what they've seen, notjust in my short time with the club, most of the season. they have supported us. they're very entitled to show their disapproval. there's no doubt about that. they filled the stadium to support the lads. the lads unfortunately should have given them a lot more to get behind, like they did against newcastle. leeds and leicester down, and it's everton who survived, getting the win they needed against bournemouth. sean dyche�*s team knew that victory would guarantee they stayed up, a very tense
1:49 am
afternoon at goodison park until abdoulaye doucoure scored the only goal of the game, the most important of his career, the most important in everton�*s recent history. they extend their 69—year stay in the top tier. it's two seasons in a row they have flirted with relegation. ugly days, brilliant when you win it, but they are ugly days, there is no joy in that. it's about keeping calm and focused, i was pleased with that side of things. and the way the team have worked. we have injuries everywhere, it is as stretched as i have ever seen a club, a team of this size, this calibre. a misaligned squad when we got here, we knew that, a lot of work to be done with that. misfiring, things were questioned, but i've been really pleased with that side of it, the group of players, keeping them focused. a lot of challenges, mainly through injuries, and to get the job done, i'm pleased for the evertonians.
1:50 am
i said i have to earn my spurs, i've taken a step towards that, and i'm learning about the club. they care deeply, the fans have been terrific. we've got to maintain that, they know the club is not there, it's not ready, but this is a team in a massive transition, they have to build on the back of what we've achieved in the end this season. can you try to describe, in your beautiful english, the emotion of scoring that goal with such a great strike? yes, you know, i'm always in the second ball, and i knew i need to strike it hard as possible, and also to hit the target. yeah, thank god it went in. it was an amazing feeling. it was a great strike. aston villa secured european football next season, beating brighton 2—1. champions manchester city made a raft of changes ahead of the fa cup

a league double for the men and women, both teams showed off their trophies to the fans in the city. the paris saint—germain goalkeeper sergio rico is in intensive care after a horse riding accident. he was on the bench as his club won an 11th title, but then went back to spain and was badly injured after colliding with a runaway horse. he was flown by helicopter to hospital in sevilla. psg say he is in serious condition. rico spent 2019 on loan at fulham. max verstappen led from start to finish and survived a rain shower to win the monaco grand prix and maintain his lead in the slippery conditions as the rain made things tricky towards the end of the race. his fourth win of the season extended his lead in the standings to 39 points. fernando alonso was

second for aston martin. 28 seconds behind. esteban 0con completed the podium for alpine. when you are that far in the lead, you don't want to push too hard but you don't want to lose too much time. so it's quite difficult in that style. clipped the walls a few times, it was super difficult but that's monaco. the indian premier league final between chennai and gujarat has been postponed until monday because of heavy rain. it briefly stopped on sunday and the covers were taken off, the players came out to warm up but the rain returned 15 minutes later. chennai looking to equal mumbai's record tally of five ipl titles. if no play as possible on monday, gujarat will win the title by virtue of topping the regular league table ahead of chennai. politics took centre stage on the first day of the french open in paris. ukrainian player marta kostyuk
1:54 am
said the crowd should be embarrassed after they booed her off after her defeat to the belarus second seed aryna sabalenka. kostyuk refused to shake hands which prompted the reaction. belarus is an ally of russia in the war against ukraine. kostyuk said russian and belarussian players fail to condemn the war. sabalenka said she thought she was being booed and said that normal people would never support the war. i understand why they are not shaking hands with us. if they do, what's going to happen to them from the ukrainian side? i understand that. and i understand this is not personal, you know? that's it, and i think probably, not probably, i think

1:56 am
can get a double halo effect. there will be some of that high cloud around on bank holiday monday and much of the country will have a dry and sunny day. but a chilly start and some cloud coming off the north sea through the midlands and eastern england, breaking up through the day with some sunshine coming through. away from the far north of scotland, there'll be a lot of sunshine. strong sunshine as well, high uv levels for many of us on monday and that sun could be quite deceptive when it breaks through in the south—east because there'll be a cooler and stronger wind blowing, and it will be windy through the english channel. cooler in the south—east but for the north and west, warming up with temperatures to 20—21 celsius in north—west england and scotland. bank holiday monday will be dry because we still have high pressure in charge, and to the south of it, still some strong winds in southern england, and by tuesday there is cloud in the north sea with the wind off the north sea, we could see cloud lingering into the afternoon in eastern england.

more sunny further west and warmer further west as well, temperatures widely into the low 20s, perhaps 2a degrees in glasgow. a quick look at wednesday because there are some changes, more low cloud for england and wales which could linger in some places all day, keeping it somewhat cooler. more towards the north—west where we have the sunshine and higher temperatures, and at long last, we could reach 25 degrees in scotland. very unusual not to hit 25 in may, the last time it happened was in 2013 when we reached 25 onjune 6th. there were some chilly springs in the �*80s, 1987 in particular when we didn't reach 25 degrees until late injune. we could hit the mid 20s again through thursday and friday, more in the south—west of the uk, and if you're wondering where the rain is, it's in southern europe, not great for your holidays in the mediterranean, far better to be holidaying here in the uk. that high pressure is not
