and european trophies. they've beat inter milan one—nil in the final in istanbul. it's only the second time that the treble has been accomplished by an english club, the last being manchester united in 1999. the winning goal was scored by rodri and this is how fans reacted to the final whistle back in manchester. cheering. our sports correspondent ollie foster sent this update from istanbul. this was a very, very special night for manchester city at istanbul's ataturk stadium, capping an extraordinary season, premier league winners once again, fa cup winners once again, but completing for the first time in their history
5:02 am
that rarity, the treble as they became european champions for the first time and to make it that little bit sweeter they emulate their great rivals manchester united he did back in 1999 under great sir alex ferguson, pep guardiola, the manager becomes the first manager becomes the first manager to complete the trouble twice in the european leagues and did it with barcelona back in 2009 and a fantastic season for city but it really was not the greatest of final. they were not there fluid best and they played brilliantly and defensively in the first half, suffocating manchester city and they were goalless at half—time but city took the lead not through erling haaland, their 52 goal striker but rodri, the manny missed out two years ago when they lost to chelsea but he certainly made up for that with the winner early in the

second half, feeding a thunderous shocker through the eye of the needle just inside the right—hand post but inter milan came back, they had chancesin milan came back, they had chances in romelu lukaku came off the bench and edison, again, in the dying seconds with the last action of this final. saving, again, before the final whistle brought jubilation for the players of manchester city and the thousands of fans inside the stadium. and their owners, sheik mansour, in the stands, watching only his second manchester city game, since he took over the club 15 years ago. his billions have transformed the club, made them perennial winners domestically and now they have cracked it in europe as well. the wealth is also brought scrutiny. it was only three years ago that they were banned by uefa for two years after an investigation into financial fair play. they successfully overturn that but
5:04 am
the premier league, they have brought over 100 charges against manchester city as well for financial breeches, something that manchester city are fighting. something they deny. what is not to be disputed is what a truly great team manchester city are now. they had been knocking on the door of europe for a long time and finally they have cracked it. european champions for the first time. donald trump has made his first public appearances since becoming the first former president in history to be indicted on federal charges. he's due to appear in court in miami on tuesday but remains on the campaign trail. he spoke at a republican party convention in the us state of north carolina. and earlier in georgia he claimed that the federal charges he's facing have actually helped his bid for re—election. 0ur north america correspondent jessica parker reports from north carolina. # it's time we stand and say...
5:05 am
he may be due in court on tuesday, but donald trump's not huddled at home with his lawyers, he's out on the stump, insisting he's innocent. the ridiculous and baseless indictment of me by the biden administration's weaponised department of injustice will go down as among the most horrific abuses of power in the history of our country. his next stop, a republican convention in north carolina, where charlie is proud to show her support. i'm trump all the way. doesn't it worry you, though, the accusations? no, it's all manufactured, so they weaponised all of the agencies against him. it's terrible. but... it's like a banana republic. but there are photographs of boxes, allegedly containing classified documents in his mar—a—lago home, in the bathroom, next to the shower, in his ballroom. ah, wait a minute, this is america. we're not guilty till we're proven guilty. it's at his florida home
5:06 am
where prosecutors allege donald trump kept classified files, including nuclear and military secrets, and tried to obstruct an inquiry into the missing documents. there are, of course, other candidates in this republican field. one of them is former vice president mike pence, but he's among those who've been reluctant to attack donald trump in this case. there's a fear, of course, of alienating the former president's very loyal base. he may be the clear frontrunner, but voters do have time to browse a growing list of options. do you think the legal baggage that he has is a problem? i think so. of course, again, i'm just waiting to hear. yeah, it's surely a problem with the campaign going on. i'm sure he'd prefer not having it. and also motivates his base too. the accusations against donald trump are serious and it's not the only
5:07 am
legal battle he's facing. nevertheless, his name is still stamped all over this party. jessica parker, bbc news, greensboro north carolina. live now to los angeles, where we can speak to neema rahmarni, a former federal prosecutor and president of the firm west coast trial lawyers. this was donald trumps first public appearance since the inditment was unsealed. what do you make of what he said? frankly, i'm not surprised, the former president has and will continue to deny allegations both publicly and in the court. this is just the first of many public appearances by donald trump where he will deny it, the charges, and attack those who are bringing them against him. eli who are bringing them against him. ,., , who are bringing them against him. , , ., ., , him. eu some very strong words and criticise _ him. eu some very strong words and criticise the _ him. eu some very strong words and criticise the fbi _ him. eu some very strong words and criticise the fbi as _ him. eu some very strong words and criticise the fbi as well? - and criticise the fbi as well? i'm sure his lawyers are not happy and this is one of those situations where politics and the law, they diverged.
5:08 am
anything that trumps theirs may galvanise his base and give them a campaign trail but it will not be helpful in the court room. 0nly his statements can be used against him and cannot benefit him unless he takes the stand testifies. just readin: takes the stand testifies. just reading some _ takes the stand testifies. just reading some of _ takes the stand testifies. just reading some of the statements he has made, they are cheating, they are crooked, corrupt, the criminals cannot be rewarded, they must be defeated, and a lot of joke they must be defeated, and a lot ofjoke than he was saying that every time he flies over a blue state controlled by the democrats to get subpoenaed. he is trying to make a bit of a joke about this? he is trying to make a bit of a joke about this?— joke about this? he is and sometimes _ joke about this? he is and sometimes the _ joke about this? he is and sometimes the defence i joke about this? he is and sometimes the defence is | joke about this? he is and l sometimes the defence is a joke about this? he is and - sometimes the defence is a good fence but it will not work in the courtroom. the problem is some of his statements can actually show his knowledge and his intent. he said he had the power to declassify these documents. if that argument fails, then that shows he knew that the documents were classified and he intended to withhold them. that is a big problem. withhold them. that is a big roblem. , ., . ,

the fallout from boris johnson�*s resignation over the �*partygate' report continues to worsen for the conservative party as former cabinet minister sirjacob rees mogg, says he should not be blocked from standing as an mp again. the committee investigating lockdown parties in downing street is due to meet on monday to finalise its findings. here's our political correspondent damian grammaticas. is this the end of a political career? a witch—hunt, borisjohnson says, forced him out — "a kangaroo court" he has called parliament's investigation. in truth, he saw its conclusions before we did, and decided to go. it was this — partygate — mps were probing, whether mr johnson lied to parliament. he's gone before it's published. he feels he can't be held to account for what others did when he wasn't present. and if that is — that is —
5:12 am
that is his version, that is his story, i'm merely... i'm merely acting as a reporter. so today, labour already out, campaigning in uxbridge. they smell a chance to snap up the seat borisjohnson once had a big majority in but has since vacated. borisjohnson has shown himself to be a coward once more, you know? he's not held his hands up and taken responsibility, as he should do. the privileges committee — a well—respected committee, that are made up majority of tory mps — and he'sjust tried to trash them and say "i've got no responsibility. "i've done nothing wrong". all this means trouble for mrjohnson�*s successor here. that may have been part of his aim with this resignation. rishi sunak is blamed by some of borisjohnson�*s supporters for abetting his downfall. today, ministers were trying to keep out of things. the determination of whether or not he should stand down was a purely decision for the former prime minister, and that's where that rests. our focus is on delivering on the priorities of the british people. that's where the prime
5:13 am
minister's focus is — that's the priority of all of government. that borisjohnson is divisive, for some, a chaotic liability, for others an election—winner, was clear among those in uxbridge today. 0h, taken the easy option out, hasn't he? you know, instead of standing there and defending himself and everyone else. you know, he's doing the wrong thing. i don't like him in any case. i think it's the best thing that could happen — get rid of him. i'd vote for him. again tomorrow. great, great man. he's got huge amount of support all over the country and it's - been a witch—hunt. he'll be back, i reckon. and more by—elections loom. nigel adams, a loyal supporter of borisjohnson, today said he was also standing down. nadine dorries quit yesterday. she thought she was in line for a seat in the lords in his resignation honours. i'm going now. it wasn't on the list released by downing street. what all this means for rishi sunak and the conservatives is that new tensions are swirling between factions
5:14 am
in the party and by—elections are coming — just when the conservatives are languishing in the polls. losing any of those could lead some tory mps to question, as borisjohnson did in his resignation letter, the direction of the party and rishi sunak�*s leadership. rishi sunak should, above all, borisjohnson and his backers think, be offering tax cuts. what we want is reassurance from the prime minister that that is very much his agenda, and then, examples of how he is pursuing that agenda, because clearly, some my colleagues don't feel they are very welcome on the journey, so three have now decided to get off the bus all together. and worse for rishi sunak, borisjohnson�*s hinted he might try a comeback. damian grammaticas, bbc news, westminster. the four children who survived more than five weeks alone in the colombianjungle following a plane crash have been reunited with their relatives. earlier, they were flown to a military hospital in bogota where they were met by the president and defence minister. the man who led the rescue operation,

5:16 am
is now on the attack. translation: counter offensive and defensive actions _ are taking place in ukraine. what stage they are at, i won't say in detail, but i think will definitely feel a toll. it's hardly a revelation. all week images like these have flooded social media. ukrainian troops pushing forward, probing russian defences, looking for weak points. some of the fighting — here, south of zaporizhzhia — has been ferocious. but russia says it's repelled all ukrainian advances, destroying precious western supplied equipment in the process. claims it is hard to verify. translation: over the past 24 hours, l the ukrainian armed forces continue unsuccessful attempts to conduct offensive operations. whether ukraine has had a successful week is hard to know, but this is not yet its big armoured push deep into russian occupied territory. that could still be
5:17 am
some way off, if it happens at all. ukraine knows it has four or five months before autumn rains soften the ground once more, to change the entire course of the war. pauladams, bbc news, kyiv. meanwhile, the authorities in kherson have introduced restrictions on the use of waterfrom the dnipro river, following the explosion at the kakhovka dam. they said the flooding of households and sewage facilities meant the water was now highly polluted. bathing, fishing and drinking water or giving it to animals will be prohibited. officials said more than 30 settlements are still flooded and almost four thousand residential buildings remain under water on the right bank of the river. let's get some of the day's other news now. a 15—year—old boy has been killed and three people injured in a shooting in stockholm.
5:18 am
police say two men were arrested following a car chase an hour after the attack. no motive has been suggested for the shooting although gang related violence has increased around stockholm in recent years. at least one person has died in severe flooding in cuba. the eastern and central regions of the island have been battered by heavy storms. bridges have collapse and villages have been cut off. forecasters say the severe weather is expected to last for another 2 days. tens of thousands of israelis took to the streets for the 23rd week in a row to protest over prime minister benjamin netanyahu's proposal for a judicial overhaul. the protestors say the changes will give politicians a greater sway over selecting judges. but the government argues these changes are necessary to restore a balance among the branches of government.

5:26 am
lots of other places not too far behind. but for some, that heat through the afternoon into the evening spawned some thunderstorms. a dramatic view for this weather watcher in shropshire. this is how it looked on the radar picture through saturday evening across parts of the midlands, east wales, north west england and also up into western scotland. some quite intense thunderstorms, a lot of rain falling in some locations. and for sunday, well, it's more of the same — more hot sunshine but more scattered thunderstorms. in fact, a few showers and storms from the word go across parts of scotland, one or two, perhaps, through the channel islands, central southern england. and while there will be some spells of warm or even hot sunshine through the day, all that will do is intensify those showers. quite hit and miss — some places avoiding them — but if you catch one across parts of southern england, the midlands, east wales could give torrential rain, squally, gusty winds, thunder and lightning. 30 degrees in london, somewhere could get to 31.
5:27 am
northern england, seeing spells of warm sunshine and the odd thunderstorm. scattered showers for northern ireland and some continuing across scotland. maybe not quite as warm here as it was during saturday. now, for sunday night, it's another pretty humid affair. some showers and thunderstorms are set to continue. some areas of low cloud, mist and fog, but some clear spells, too. but overnight lows, generally 11—16 degrees — and bear in mind, we'll only get down to these temperatures very briefly because as soon as the sun comes up again on monday morning, those temperatures will start to climb. plenty of sunshine around but again, some scattered showers and storms — perhaps a line of thunderstorms popping up from london through the midlands and into parts of mid wales. again, a very warm day widely — temperatures between 20 and 27 degrees. some spots could getjust a little bit warmer than that. and deeper into the week, while high pressure remains just about in charge, not quite strong enough to suppress all of the shower activity, there will be some showers, maybe the odd thunderstorm. and as more of an easterly breeze starts to develop, it could be that those temperatures drop backjust a little bit.
5:28 am
but broadly speaking, lots of dry weather and sunshine, and it is going to still feel very warm.
