this is bbc news. the headlines: the governor of russia's belgorod region has offered to meet paramilitaries who have seized two russian soldiers from the region. it comes after all the villages running down its border with ukraine were evacuated due to heavy shelling. india's railways minister says the cause and those responsible for the country's worst train crash in decades have been identified. rescue efforts have now ended. 275 people are known to have died and more than 1000 injured. the bbc understands the cost of detaining and deporting people illegally arriving in the uk under the planned new legislation could reach £6 billion over the next two years. the illegal migration bill, which is currently going through parliament, would give
6:31 pm
the power to remove anyone arriving to the uk illegally and stop them claiming asylum here. now on bbc news, it's time for sportsday. hello and welcome to sportsday, with me, paul scott — here's what's coming up: novak djokovic edges closer to a record 23rd career grand slam title, as he eases in to the last eight of the french open. we'll be live in paris. dutch delight as max verstappen wins again, this time leading from start to finish at the spanish grand prix. and a blow for england ahead of the ashes as bowler jack leach is ruled out of the series through injury.
6:32 pm
welcome along. let's begin at the french open tennis, where novak djokovic is continuing his quest for that record 23rd grand slam title. he swept aside peruvianjuan pablo varillas in straight sets for a place in the last eight. 0ur tennis correspondent russell fuller is enjoying paris in the spring and joins us now. djokovic looking good today — carlos alcaraz also through? we're a step closer to that semi—final we're perhaps all hoping for. yes, it's the semifinal that has been anticipated in the top of draw since that drawer was paid, and they will both be delighted with the way they have played today. djokovic a much more solid match. this is
6:33 pm
typical djokovic in a grand slam. you might have a few injury problems in the first week of a struggle for a bit of form, but as you move through the draw he becomes more threatening. it was a straight sets win overjuan pablo varillas, who had played 35 set matches to earn the right to play djokovic in the last 16. and then carlos alcaraz in terrific form again looks i wouldn't say unbeatable because he has novak djokovic in the same half of the draw, but he looks completely in control of his game that he was a straight sets win over the italian player who had beaten cameron norrie in the previous round. let’s player who had beaten cameron norrie in the previous round.— in the previous round. let's talk about the _ in the previous round. let's talk about the women's _ in the previous round. let's talk about the women's draw. - we've seen elena rybakina pull out through illness this weekend — it perhaps opens up the draw for second seed aryna sabalenka who's in action this evening? she will play in the first scheduled night match in this open so far, again sloane stephens, runner—up here in 2018, who won make the us
6:34 pm
openin here in 2018, who won make the us open in 2017. very good on the clay courts, hasn't been in much form until the last few weeks, so a dangerous opponent for aryna sabalenka, who has struggled at roland garros compared to the other grand slams. it is herfirst appearance in the last 16, but she is so confident, having won in adelaide and then at the australian open, then on the clay in madrid. i think that will count for a lot tonight, and the winner will play svitolina of ukraine, who came through in straight sets. a symbolic victory for her, her country, and she gave birth in october and this is only herfirst she gave birth in october and this is only her first tour event since returning. she won in strasbourg last week and now she has won four matches and is into the quarterfinals. russell, brilliant, thank you. some breaking news this evening. we're just 12 days away from the start of the ashes series and england have been dealt a blow,
6:35 pm
with the news that spin bowler jack leach will miss the whole series with a stress fracture in his back. joe wilson has more. we have been talking a lot in the build—up to this ashes series about the need for england to have a squad of bowlers available but really focusing, referencing the faster bowlers, and in that regard, england seem fine. i mean, josh tongue came into the team to play ireland and did pretty well, but when it first became clear that jack leach had some kind of problem yesterday, the hypothetical question was asked, what would england do if leach was not available? never daring to think that this eventuality would arise, whereby he is not available for any of the ashes. it's particularly cruel for leach because this is a time in his england career when he is really blossoming under the captaincy of ben stokes. very clear that stokes trusts him and therefore leach has built up the confidence in himself. in terms of a bowler who can do that as a spinner instead of leach for england, well, therejust isn't one. there is no like—for—like replacement. the only other spinner we've seen for england in recent
6:36 pm
another sunday and another race win for max verstappen. the red bull driver has won his 5th formula 1 race of the season, by leading from pole to flag in spain. the dutchman was followed home by lewis hamilton and george russell on an encouraging day for mercedes. joe lynskey reports. nobody has got close to max verstappen. in this sport right now, one man makes it sound simple. well controlled, max, by the way. yeah, a good race. max verstappen won in spain by 2a seconds, and he led from start to finish. and away we go. on top in the standings, on pole for this grand prix, the race was on for the rest are just try and get close. britain's lando norris had qualified in third, but when he took a hit, his race was done. he would finish way down the field. the man who got nearest was lewis hamilton. he went from fourth to second, but up ahead verstappen could go to the pit lane and still emerge so far in front.
6:37 pm
george russell too had success further back. he moved up to third and made sure the boss saw it. solid work. just solid? that put two brits on the podium to stand beside the dutchman. this is verstappen�*s fifth win in seven races. in formula 1, he is out on his own. joe lynskey, bbc news. time for a quick look at some of the day's other sports stories. thierry newville has jumped from fifth to second in the world rally championship standings after winning rally italia. the belgian claimed the 18th win of his career in sardinia after beating hyundai team mate esapekka lappi. toyota driver kaller rovanpera completed the podium. britain's elvin evans was fourth and remains fourth in the championship standings. northern ireland's tom mckibbin has won the first dp world tour title of his career, after finishing two shots clear of the pack at the european open in hamburg. the 20—year—old grew up playing at holywood golf club, where rory mcilroy stated his career.
6:38 pm
talking of rory mcilroy�*s in a share of the lead at the memorial tournament, look at this. this short from john rahm, an eagle. —— this shot. real madrid have announced their captain karim benzema is leaving the club after 1a years. the french striker won five champions leagues, four la liga titles and is the current ballon d'0r holder. he's been linked with a move to saudi arabia. we are witnessing what is turning into a remarkable battle for a place into a remarkable battle for a place in the scottish premiership next season. ross county have come from behind to force extra time against partick thistle. we have the story
6:39 pm
of the first 90 minutes. partick thistle fans were partying well before kick—off, arriving with a 2—0 lead over ross county, perhaps they feel promotion was just a matter of time. that confidence didn't extend to their players, as david mitchell made a nervy start. he continued to struggle to keep them at bay and needed kyle turner to come to his rescue. against the run of play, partick felt they should have had a penalty, but the referee stopped by his initial decision. moments later it didn't matter. aidan fitzpatrick had opened the scoring in the first leg and restarted the party for the partick fans. their singing ceased with 20 minutes to go. another review handed ross county a penalty, which gave them a lifeline. then just 80 seconds later, that became hope of pulling off an incredible upset, as simon murray put them ahead and just a goal behind. four seconds into added time, george harman forced extra time.
6:40 pm
it is still all square in the first half of extra time in that one. you can follow it on the bbc sport website. super league's �*magic weekend', where all 12 top—flight sides are in action, has been taking place over the last few days at st james' park in newcastle. today, there were wins for leigh leopards and hull fc, but the game of the day saw defending champions st helens thrash huddersfield giants by 48 points to six. craig templeton reports. game two of day two of the super big's magic weekend, and now time for the champions. in truth, saint helens have been champions in name only so far this season, but there wizardry still remains, sleight of hand guiding them into the lead. mark percival with the finishing touch. when the ball came under their spell yet again, this time it was tommy makin son who reaped the rewards. despite the sunshine at st james's park, huddersfield's
6:41 pm
floodgates were now wide open and tommy makin son was able to sail straight through once more. no, your eyes aren't deceiving you, this is may contain again, three tries means patrick. like all good performances, they say the best until last, lovesick with a bow and then the score. the head coach with the applause because he knows a win like this will reverberate right through the league. it's not been a great weekend in the fih pro hockey league for great britain's men — yesterday they drew with india, but lost the penalty shootout, today they were beaten 3—2 by belgium. a great team move by the belgians was rounded off in style by the experienced john—john dohmen, that made it 3—1 in the fourth quarter. great britain responded almost instantly, a run by tim nurse and a shot that went in off the belgian keeper to pull the score back to 3—2,
6:42 pm
but it was too little to late. it was a disappointing day for great britain's women too — they lost 3—0 to belgium, despite going into the final quarter on level terms. charlotte englebert showed her class scoring belgium's last two goals — they go third in the table above team gb. finally, it's two down, one to go after manchester city added the fa cup to their premier league title yesterday, beating manchester united 2—1 at wembley. they take on inter milan in the champions league final in six days' time. and the team were greeted by a special guest on their return to manchester on saturday. eltonjohn had been performing in the city. after arriving back from the match in london, city's squad were seen in high spirits bumping into elton on the airport runway. phil foden not missing the chance for a selfie.

but of course, the best manager in the world. of course, when you see my game, i have been developing in a really positive way and that's really positive way and that's really important for me because i'm still really young, still 22, and i've got a long career ahead of me and i still have to develop. that's also something i was thinking of, one year ago, when i was thinking about my next move, about how i can develop even more and become an even better player. so i've been developing in the right way. what better player. so i've been developing in the right way. what is it about pep — developing in the right way. what is it about pep guardiola _ developing in the right way. what is it about pep guardiola that - developing in the right way. what is it about pep guardiola that makes l it about pep guardiola that makes him different, special unique — is it the attention to detail? i him different, special unique - is it the attention to detail?- it the attention to detail? i think it the attention to detail? i think it is different _ it the attention to detail? i think it is different from _ it the attention to detail? i think it is different from player - it the attention to detail? i think it is different from player to i it is different from player to player, because everyone is different, so everyone maybe needs a different, so everyone maybe needs a different approach on how to handle things or how to develop or whatever, but for me it's about small details. of course, i have my own game and i should keep on doing why they bought me. i should keep

6:51 pm
it's also a nice thing when it's so difficult that you achieve something we've been chasing arsenal throughout the whole season, and in the end, wejust throughout the whole season, and in the end, we just passed through them. it was an unreal feeling. haifa them. it was an unrealfeeling. how do ou them. it was an unrealfeeling. how do you maintain _ them. it was an unrealfeeling. how do you maintain and _ them. it was an unreal feeling. how do you maintain and keep that hunger, that desire, when you've already achieved so much? few players win a premier league title, a few others will win the fa cup, rarely do you win a champions league, but you can achieve all this at 22 years of age. how do you keep going in the years ahead potentially and maintain that hunger? for going in the years ahead potentially and maintain that hunger?- and maintain that hunger? for me, that's easy- — and maintain that hunger? for me, that's easy. when _ and maintain that hunger? for me, that's easy. when i _ and maintain that hunger? for me, that's easy. when i do _ and maintain that hunger? for me, that's easy. when i do something, | that's easy. when i do something, and a nice thing, i often want more of it. when i score a goal, this feeling is so nice, i would love to do it again, kind of feeling. it's easy, really. i'm a simple guy, when i do something and i like it i want to do it more. exactly for the premier league, i would love to do it again. because of the feeling, you know. and defend that one again.
6:52 pm

6:53 pm
trying not to think too much, again, because when you think too much, it's not a good fit. i try to go in the game and try to make the team as good as possible, and if the team plays good, as a striker, i will get chances, and when i get chances normally i score.
