lift the trophy and celebrate. the first ever fa cup final between these two teams was always going to be memorable and this one tookjust 12 seconds to come to life. straight from kick—off under one's volley into the corner of the net stunned everyone inside the stadium. there were fans that hadn't even made their way into the seats. the fastest ever goal in fa cup final history, just 12 seconds. they properly should have had a few more before manchester united were handed a life line because var ruled that jack grealish had handled the ball inside the manchester city parks and it was time for the manchester united captain to play his part, bruno fernandez from the penalty spot scored. the game was evil until then, it was 1—1 going to the break, but on 51 minutes it was under one again, volley with his left foot.

months, manchester city have beaten everyone in front of them. they have been imperious, almost unplayable at times. what makes this team so good? they have got the best manager, they have got some of the best players, and when you put those two facets together, you create something beautiful that is what they have done this season. they have been dominant since the return of football after the world cup and he built and built and built and reached the final of the fa cup here. they reach the final of the champions league. they have won several games in a row to win the premier league. it feels like destiny for them now. it premier league. it feels like destiny for them now. it feels like the momentum _ destiny for them now. it feels like the momentum is _ destiny for them now. it feels like the momentum is with _ destiny for them now. it feels like the momentum is with them. - destiny for them now. it feels like the momentum is with them. do | destiny for them now. it feels like i the momentum is with them. do you think they will go on and when that champions league final? i fully exect champions league final? i fully expect them — champions league final? i fully expect them to _ champions league final? i fully expect them to win _ champions league final? i fully expect them to win the - champions league final? i fully i expect them to win the champions league final. they are the better team. we wouldn't want to discount into milan too much. they deserve to be in the final, but the disparity between the two teams in terms of their quality is fast, and i fully

players. they'rejust manager and some of the best players. they're just going along trying to chart their own path and i expect them to do it next week. just one final thing, i said to nestor mcgregor, i expect erling haaland to be the star. itjust shows what strength and that they have that he doesn't have to play particularly well and they still went. he did play a part in the first goal, but in recent weeks he hasn't been at his best and hasn't been scoring. the beauty of having a strong squad is that others step up and gundogan has scored so many goals recently and delivered.— has scored so many goals recently and delivered. thank you very much for 'oinin: and delivered. thank you very much forjoining us- _ 288 people are now known to have died in a train crash that happened last night. in the hour prime minister narendra modi visited the site in the eastern state of odisha. mr modi visited the crash site
5:08 pm
and injured passenters being treated and injured passengers being treated in hospital and said noone responsible for the crash would be spared. more than 1,000 people have been injured. it is already the country's worst train crash this century. three trains were involved in the collision — which all began when a passenger train derailed. 0ur south asia correspondent, yogita limaye, reports. daylight revealed the scale of the disaster. this wreckage, now intertwined, belongs to three trains. on friday evening the coromandel express ferrying more than 1,000 passengers crashed into a freight train standing on the same track. its coaches overturned, hitting another sleeper coming in from the opposite side, leaving a pile—up not seen in decades. through the night rescue teams had worked pulling out people. "give him oxygen," they shouted, carrying one of the survivors to an ambulance. it took hours to get
5:09 pm
through to those trapped inside. mr kumar survived the crash but his friend was killed. "he was sitting in his seat and i was standing by the door. when the collision happened i thought he would have escaped but he got crushed. i pulled him out but he didn't survive," he said. many of the seriously injured were brought to this hospital in cuttack about three hours away. we have admitted 150 people and still people are boarding on and there are people in the icu ward and also in the casualty, so we are putting our best effort, but it's so unfortunate that so many people have lost their life. india's prime minister narendra modi visited the accident site. his government has promised an inquiries into what went wrong. there are many tough
5:10 pm
questions to answer. a short while ago an eyewitness and a passenger on board the derailed train, shared their harrowing account, shedding a light on events as they unfolded. translation: when the train got | derailed, my brother was caughtl inside while i managed to get out. when i realised, i dragged him out and also saved a small child. i informed the police and the hospital. it took more than an hour and a half for help to reach us. my brother was all right until then, but then he went into a coma. the doctor asked me to wait outside and then informed me later that my brother had passed away. translation: we faced some i difficulty because there were just too many injured people. as soon as the police came we got some help, and once the police team arrived, we could start pulling out one person after another. this rescue work continued throughout the night. i don't know what to say. i am still traumatised.

accidents on india's rail network are common, despite the government's attempts to improve the aging infrastructure. 0ur reporter naomi choy smith — has more on the country's rail safety record. india has one of the largest rail networks in the world, carrying more than 12 million passengers per day along 40,000 miles of track. and those tracks aren'tjust transporting people. they're, of course, transporting cargo across india, becoming a real lifeline for the country's economy. but as the infrastructure continues to age and doesn't get the required maintenance, in many cases, india's rail safety record has plunged, for example, in 2021. you'll see these statistics from the country's national crime agency. around 16,000 people were killed in about 18,000 train accidents. that's just in a single year. and before friday's accident in 0disha state, india's worst rail
5:12 pm
disaster happened in 1981 when a train plunged and derailed and plunged into a river, killing more than 800 people. another major train disaster happened about 30 years ago near agra, where two trains collided. that killed more than 350 people. now, successive governments, including the current one, say they are making drastic improvements to the railway system, including installing anti—collision measures and improving the tracks. but critics of the government, especially in the past, have said it's just not enough and it may be too little, too late. the turkish leader, recep tayyip erdogan, has been sworn—in for his third term as president. the ceremony in parliament in ankara was held nearly a week after winning an historic run—off election. mr erdogan has dominated turkish politics for twenty years, first as prime minister, then as president. earlier i spoke to berza simsek, who works for the bbc�*s turkish service.
5:13 pm
she says president erdogan has a lot of work ahead of him. he has a lot of work to do. the turkish economy is not doing well and the currency has lost so much value in the past couple of years. his biggest task is economically making turkey better again and lowering inflation and the cost of living, that will be his firstjob. the otherjob will be, in february, turkey has gone through an earthquake which killed more than 50,000 people and it created damage in 11 cities. three states especially have been almost ruined. turkey needs right now $100 billion to build those cities again so these are the most pressing issues
5:14 pm
that he faces right now. we note the head of natojens stoltenberg is in turkey right now along with other heads of state. will any work be done today or is it purely ceremonial? mostly ceremonial but it has a significance because it shows that the nato secretary generaljens stoltenberg is trying to give an impression that nato still values turkey's membership. nato and turkey have been at odds recently regarding the membership of sweden and finland, and turkey did not support their membership bids because erdogan said they are providing safe haven to what he calls terrorist organisations, namely the pkk. in the meantime finland became a member but there is a situation
5:15 pm
ongoing regarding sweden's membership so this will be on the table during those meetings today, obviously, but mainly to show support, that nato values turkey's membership. here in the uk, train strikes are causing fresh disruption for commuters and businesses. for the second time in four days, members of the train driver's union aslef have walked out. the industrial action has disrupted tens of thousands ofjourneys in england, wales and scotland. it's estimated that up to 60% of trains won't run. the walk out coincides with a number of sporting and music events, including the fa cup final. aslef�*s general secretary mick whelan apologised for any inconvenience but warned the strikes could continue for years until a resolution is found. it has been four years without a pay rise. i keep emphasising this fact.
5:16 pm
we have had two offers of deceit and bad faith. let's have a look at this, shall we? i don't have a problem with wales. i don't have a problem with scotland. i don't have a problem with freight. i don't have a problem with open access. with merseyrail. i don't have a problem with the overground. i don't have a problem with tfl. we have a westminster government that has been in intrangient. we have done 1a pay deals elsewhere. people are talking about 40% of trains that are running today. they are running because we have no issues with those companies. 0ur reporter frances read is at euston station in london. pretty much everything is cancelled. there is one train running and has been running every 15 minutes or so all day. i can see it on the arrivals and departures board just behind the camera at the moment. it says watford junction and that is the only train that has been running all day. as you said, it is drivers from the aslef union that have been taking part in the strike, and there are wide regional variations right across the country. it is england that is affected, but of course, that has a knock—on effect into scotland, into wales, and it has had a big impact in some regions where there have been absolutely no trains whatsoever. tens of thousands of people of course are due to make their way to
5:17 pm
london today for the fa cup final for the massive beyonce concert at the spurs stadium, as well as the epsom derby, as well. they've had to make their way through other means. apparently the roads are pretty full with that. the coaches have all been booked out, particularly national express said, from manchester to london for that fa cup final in particular. that has been pretty much booked out all day. francis read at a quiet euston station earlier on. let's bring in tristan moffat — who is the owner of the piano works bar in london. 0ut out of these train strikes been affecting your business? london was affecting your business? london was a chost affecting your business? london was a ghost town — affecting your business? london was a ghost town last _ affecting your business? london was a ghost town last night. _ affecting your business? london was a ghost town last night. our- a ghost town last night. our business was impacted. we dropped about 50% of our top line revenue. we are expecting that the strikes are going to effect as to the tune of about £50,000 in lost revenue this week alone. it is the 19th week
5:18 pm
in the last financial year for our business that we have been impacted by strikes. so far to date the strikes have cost us a total of £800,000. by the end of this week we are expecting it to be closer to the region of about £850,000 in lost revenue. we are really struggling, as are so many of our colleagues across the hospitality industry. i was watching one of your news pieces earlier on that said 15.6% of venues in london have closed since march 2020, which is 540 venues in total. we don't want to be one of those. we really hope that the government can end the disruption and come to a resolution because the strikes are just absolutely hammering our industry and they are pushing good, solid businesses that provide good jobs over the edge. businesses are closing and entre but no real
5:19 pm
founders are struggling to keep independent business is going. i don't how much longer we can keep taking the strikes. i do understand why they are striking, everybody is feeling the pinch, but we are already dealing with a huge increase in costs of trading and we just simply can't pass those costs on to our guests. simply can't pass those costs on to our guests-— our guests. yesterday, the friday strike was by _ our guests. yesterday, the friday strike was by the _ our guests. yesterday, the friday strike was by the rmt, _ our guests. yesterday, the friday strike was by the rmt, the i our guests. yesterday, the friday strike was by the rmt, the rail i strike was by the rmt, the rail workers' union, today it is the train drivers�* union, workers�* union, today it is the train drivers�* union, as life. they say that days like this have maximum disruption and they have no other choice to bring management to the table. you have any sympathy for them? {iii table. you have any sympathy for them? .., , ., table. you have any sympathy for them? , ., _ , table. you have any sympathy for them? , ., _ them? of course i have sympathy for them. i understand _ them? of course i have sympathy for them. i understand they _ them? of course i have sympathy for them. i understand they are - them? of course i have sympathy for them. i understand they are in i them? of course i have sympathy for them. i understand they are in a i them. i understand they are in a desperate position and are looking after their members. what desperate position and are looking after their members.— after their members. what you recommend — after their members. what you recommend they _ after their members. what you recommend they do? - after their members. what you recommend they do? i - after their members. what you recommend they do? i don't i after their members. what you i recommend they do? i don't have any recommendations. _ recommend they do? i don't have any recommendations. i— recommend they do? i don't have any recommendations. i hoping _ recommend they do? i don't have any recommendations. i hoping the i recommendations. i hoping the government will come to a fair and final settlement to bring these disruptions to a close. in the end

5:22 pm
continuing unrest. this is over the sentencing of the opposition leader for immoral behaviour. he rejects the charges. british folk�*s chief will be stepping down from his role after six years at the top fashion magazine. the 51—year—old will remain as an editorial advisor to the uk title, but will move into a newly created job next year, aimed at growing the brand globally. police working on the epsom derby, near london say they�*ve arrested a total of 31 protesters. that includes 19 people who were arrested pre—emptively in connection with plans to disrupt the horse race. and one man managed to run onto the track just as the rae began. animal rights campaigners had been threatening to defy a court order, banning disruptive protests. i spoke to our correspondent charlotte gallagher who was at
5:23 pm
the racecourse at epsom... those large—scale protests organisers here had feared did not happen and it was pretty uneventful, apart from the racing. there was one person who made it onto the track and animal rising say it is one of their supporters, they got onto the track when the race was running so the horses were coming down the track, this person got onto the track but stewards bundled them off before the horses could get there because obviously that would have been a complete catastrophe. the security has been really tight. i have never seen police lining the track for a horse race but police were dotted all around the course for the derby and there has been stewards everywhere and even men arriving in top hats have had to take them off, so people could check they were not hiding anything, but i�*m sure organisers will be pleased it went off essentially without a hitch, a minor hitch with one person on the track. the race itself, the epsom derby, it is to flat racing what the grand national is to jump racing, a huge event. it was won by auguste rodin.
5:24 pm
trainer aidan 0�*brien with his ninth win in the epsom derby, and the jockey ryan moore with his third win at the epsom derby. big celebrations for those two. not much of a rest for ryan moore because he was actually racing in the following race. it was the last epsom derby for frankie dettori but sadly he did not make it but he looked pretty happy at the end after what has been an absolutely amazing career. and still more racing this afternoon. the police and stewards seem to be staying in case there are any more protests. just before we go, trailers for the new barbie film have had tens of millions of views and hype around it has also had an unexpected impact. barbie is known for her love of bright pink and the director has told architectural digests that by wanting to get barbie�*s willjust right, construction for the movie

caused a global shortage of their threatened shade of paint. she said for the moment, the world ran out of pink. stay with us here on bbc news. hello there. good evening. for the vast majority of us across the uk, it�*s been a beautiful day of weather with plenty of blue sky and sunshine, some of the best of it again across wales. here�*s denbighshire as recorded by our weather watcher, and it even brightened up for east anglia to where it�*s been for east anglia too where it�*s been cool and cloudy with a northeasterly wind for much of the week. but here is diss in norfolkjust basking in all of that sunshine. and there is a lot more to come as we head through tomorrow. and indeed, for much of next week, high pressure is set to keep us dry and settled. we�*re keeping the easterly wind, though, for most of us. so always towards north sea facing coast. it�*s going to be feeling cooler overnight tonight. 0vernight tonight
5:26 pm
some of that wind could blow us in some more areas of cloud, i think towards eastern coastal areas further west. then we�*ll see clear skies but mist developing into tomorrow morning but it�*s not so chilly a start, temperatures in mid to high single figures at this time so a milder start to sunday morning than it was earlier on this morning. and that cloud will once again just burn back towards the coast. could be some cloud lingering for eastern areas of scotland. it�*s a sunny day, i think, for the western and the northern isles on sunday than it was today. just the small chance of a shower or two popping up across northern ireland and the south west of scotland. but even here, temperatures will peak in the late 20s in celsius. the sunshine, higher temperatures the further west you are. don�*t forget the sunshine is strong at this time of year. the uv levels will be high and the grass pollen levels are high too and will remain so into next week. now into monday and not a lot is set to change. high pressure keeps us dry and settled. we do still have that northeasterly wind and it�*s likely to blow in some cloud. we�*re starting off with cloudy
5:27 pm
conditions, but the cloud again burning back towards the coast as the sunshine gets to work, always breezy towards those north sea facing coasts. the highest temperatures and the most sunshine the further west you are on monday. the same is also true on tuesday when it could be quite a cloudy start for many of us across the south of the uk. as the week wears on, the area of high pressure, keeping us dry and settled will gradually drift its way further eastwards, introducing more of a south easterly wind into southeastern areas of england in particular. so here the temperatures could start to climb and there�*s a depression out in the atlantic that could give a few showers to the south west of england, too, and possibly a bit more in the way of high cloud. but here�*s the outlook for our capital cities. as you can see, for the vast majority of us, the sunshine continues and temperatures will start to rise.
