investment fund after the shock announcement of the merger came last week. hello, thanks so much forjoining us. thousands of fans lined the streets of manchester city centre battling some pretty bad weather conditions to watch manchester city's treble winning parade. it was delayed due to the rain, thunder and lightning but eventually the players and staff set off in the open top bus with all three trophies in full view. after they arrived back on home soil following that win over inter milan and istanbul this weekend, they are the only second english club to win the treble after 1999. what a night it has been for the manchester city players behind me on that stage and what a night it has been for the fans as well, although it has been a very soggy celebration because shortly before the parade was due to start they announced it
2:46 am
was going to be delayed for half—an—hour because of thunderstorms, we have had torrential rain over the course of the parade, it hasn't stopped the fans arriving in their thousands to cheer on the players, they've been hanging off lampposts, hanging off bus shelters, trying to get a glimpse of the manchester city players but what a season it has been for this club. first they won the premier league, their fifth premier league title in six seasons then they got that win over manchester united in the final and then finally that unforgettable champions league when at the weekend and they will be hoping after this season that there will be plenty more trophies to come. kylian mbappe has written to paris saint—germain to say that he will not extend his contract.
2:47 am
negotiations are still ongoing but if as expected mbappe does not extend he can sign a precontract agreement in january. psg have said they are prepared to sell the french international this summer rather than risk losing him for nothing. english football league club wigan athletic have had a winding up petition lodged against them by uk tax authorities. there has been huge financial turmoil at wigan who have been relegated to league one from the championship and its understood money is outstanding from last month's salaries. they won the fa cup will start next season on —8 points for not paying their players on time. bordeaux have missed out on promotion after french football's governing body handed them a loss for an abandoned match earlier this month. the game on the second ofjune was called off when the scorer was attacked by a pitch invader.
2:48 am
this decision means bordeaux finished third. a plan to appeal the decision to the french olympic committee. and david moyes will stay on as manager of west ham following the club's success winning the europa conference league. his future was the source of speculation during the season but the hammers avoided relegation and ended their 43 year wait for a trophy beating fiorentino in prague giving them european football for the third successive season and the first time in the club's history. ac milan have paid tribute to their former owner who, as we have been hearing, has died at the age of 86. the serie a side said on social media they are deeply saddened at the passing of the unforgettable berlusconi and say they share their sympathies with his family and friends. under his leadership they won five european cups and eight italian league titles. england captain ben

stokes said the key to england's success this summer will be all about making sure the team don't focus on results. the ashes begins with the first test on friday the 16th ofjune with stokes, england attempting to win back the urn for the first time since 2015. england kicked off their summer of test cricket with a comprehensive ten wicket victory over ireland at the start of the month. before we start playing in the ashes obviously we will do the normal get—together, the normal captain, what you've got to say and all that sort of stuff and they always go back to a little list and at the bottom of the list is results because if we do everything and stick to everything that we do above that result word then the result will look after itself. so, not being so result driven is actually a great way to sort of just simplify things and bring it back to ourselves as players and as a team around the way that we want to play
2:50 am
because if we play anywhere near the capability of what we can do and we have a good day then the result is probably going to be a win and if we don't, we don't play well and we don't stick to what we know works for us then the result is going to be a loss so putting results at the bottom isjust sort of one thing that i will keep hammering home and making sure that it is about our process and our mindset before anything else. australia also going to the ashes in good form after winning the world test championship against india. head coach andrew mcdonald insists this rectory has prepared his team well. —— this victory. we are ready and we've been on the record saying we've got the preparation that we needed to counter what is ahead of us over the, now five test matches of the ashes so there's always going to be some execution points where you think you can improve and i think that test match looked like most other test matches where teams put under pressure and were able to navigate around those tricky situations so to me that is attached to your preparation and it is up to you guys to
2:51 am
critique what the performance was like, we can sit here and tell you our preparation is good. whether you believe that or not, i suppose has played out of the five days away will leave that for you tojudge. england will also bid to end australia's period of dominance in the women's game. their ashes start later in the month and the squad will include pace bowler kate cross who had been called up after recovering from a parasite infection asjoe currie reports. it has been a long time since england women have had their hands on the ashes trophy, since 2014 and fact, but today head coachjohn lewis named his squad who he hopes will put an end to that losing run. the headlines are that kate cross returns to the squad, that's after overcoming a parasite infection and there are some new faces as well in the form of uncapped duo lauren filer and all—rounder danielle gibson. both of those also included. i think both of them bring a real point of difference.

dani is a real inform cricketer, she has been playing some fantastic cricket at a domestic level both across the t20 and over 50 format and she has come up into the training group over the last couple of weeks and really stood out as a cricketer that can make an impact in games, she helps us balance of the team if she is selected in the ii and then lauren bowls with some really good pace. and there is also a place for 21—year—old izzie wong. she made her debut in all three formats of the game in 2022, however missed out on selection for t20 world cup in february. that is kind of the ebb and flow of sport isn't it? you are going to get picked for some and not for others. hopefully i have a career ahead of me and i think that would be foolish to think that i am going to play in every single series from now until i retire. so it is the way it is but definitely means a lot more coming back into a squad. the women's ashes are different to the men's as they involve a multiformat style

stopping there is one test match which is worth four points and then t20s and three odis all worth two points each. it all gets under way on trent bridge on the 22nd ofjune when the sport's greatest rivalries comes together once again. thanks tojody currie there. the us senate is investigating the planned deal between golf�*s traditional tour, the pga tour and the dp world tour and the saudi arabian public investment fund which bankrolled the breakaway liv series. the shock announcement of the commercial merger came last week. richard blumenthal who is leading the investigation has demanded details on how the pga tour came to its agreement with the pif and how the merger would be operated. he says the pga's to a sudden and drastic reversal of position concerning liv golf raises some serious questions. eritrean cyclist has sprinted to victory at stage two of the tour of switzerland. his late burst to the line marked his return to form after a crash back
2:54 am
in april when he suffered concussion, he's likely to feature in next month's tour de france is his first win at world tour level after winning stage ten of the giro d'italia last year. and finally, back to golf where there was a very interesting end to the canadian open, won by nick taylor who had holed a stunning 72 foot eagle putt to become the first home player to win the canadian open in 69 years. obviously it sparked huge celebrations led by another canadian golfer and pga tour professional adam hadwin. he ran to spray champagne in the direction of his friend only to be mistaken for an intruder and was tackled to the ground by security. hadwin later apologised and said he was fine, which is good news. you can get all the latest sports news at our website, but from me and the rest of the team at the bbc sport centre, it is goodbye for now.

hello there. it was a busy old start to our working week — hot and humid for all of us. in fact, it was the warmest day of the year so far, with some late afternoon sunshine across northern ireland, a hot day across southern scotland and, as you can see, in north wales as well, temperatures in the high 20s. northwest england saw a high of 31 degrees as well. that heat and humidity helped to trigger off some sharp, thundery downpours, and you can see in cheshire, the threatening—looking skies, those thunderstorms that threatened to spoil the parade in manchester. now, we had over a couple of inches of rain in highland scotland from those storms. they were quite widespread with over 7,500 lightning strikes at one point through the middle part of the afternoon. the showers have eased away, but it's still quite a mild start to the day. tuesday morning seeing temperatures into the mid—teens first thing.
2:56 am
there'll be plenty of early—morning sunshine to look out for as well. but there will be a change to come — a little bit more cloud just clinging on to the isles of scilly and maybe cornwall, and a few isolated showers, just a few across england and wales — these shouldn't be thundery either. we should see some sharp, thundery downpours perhaps into the west of northern ireland and the far northwest of scotland. but in comparison to monday's weather, it won't be quite as widespread that rain, and it'll still be quite warm. yes, the northern isles, a little cool and cloudy, but 21—27 degrees in scotland, 25 in northern ireland and generally the high 20s across england and wales. now, through the rest of the week, it's going to start to gradually feel less humid. we keep a lot of dry and sunny weather, though. the reason why we're losing that humidity is the position of the high. the wind direction swings round from a southeasterly to a light easterly direction, so it's not going to produce some cloud coming in off the north sea like we had around a week ago. it's still going to keep a lot of fine, dry weather, but there is a risk of a little bit
2:57 am
more cloud into eastern scotland, and maybe some cloud lingering across southwest england as well. but look at the temperatures — still slightly above the average for the time of year. generally around 21—27 degrees the high — that's the 80s — and this dry, settled, sunny theme continues right throughout the week and largely into the weekend. just a slim chance of some rain from monday onwards.
