and the olympic flame arrives in france after a 12—day journey by boat from greece. you are very welcome along to the programme. let's start, then, with a dramatic night in the champions league. 14—time winners real madrid scored twice late on at the santiago bernabeu to book their place in the final against borrussia dortmund at wembley on the first ofjune. real were level at 2—2 with bayern munich heading into the second leg in the spanish capital. alphonso davies put the visitors ahead on the night, beforejoselu scored twice in the final minutes to clinch the tie 4—3 on aggregate. it was a night full of drama, as bbc correspondent

john murray explains. another remarkable champions league semifinal here in madrid tonight. it was an absorbing match of the but it bubbled up to a frantic climax flows massively against the run of play, bayern took the lead in the last half hour with a glorious finish from alphonso davies. in the 88th minute, bayern were going through. thomas tuchel substituted harry kane. and then came the moment that turned it, a shot, neuer cannot hold his shot. joselu was able to convert it, and then in the first minute of added time, joselu made it two following a set—piece. we had a big var delay before it was ruled onside. and yet still we had drama. deep, deep in added time at the other end, mathis de ligt put the ball in the net, but the assistant had a flag

for offside. that goal did not stand. for bayern munich, for harry kane, for eric dier, they will finish the season without a trophy. john murray there. a desperately disappointing and frustrating night for bayern and their manager. let's hear now from thomas tuchel who was annoyed by the decisions to rule out a goal by matthijs de ligt which would have taken the game to extra time. it's a huge, huge call and it's the wrong call. the referee has the chance, when he sees that we win the second ball and we win the rebound and get the shot way, within five seconds, he has the chance not to whistle. he takes the decision to whistle. it's against every rule, i'm sorry. we accept we lost, it is what it is, butjust... that would not have happened on the other side. rafa nadal insists he's excited

to be playing in a tournament that he's won 10 times before even if he's going into the italian open ranked 305 in the world. he's playing zizou bergs in the first round on thursday, another stop in what's expected to be his final year on tour before retiring. my feelings are better, always, in terms of tennis too. why not? and i'm here to try my best, and tomorrow is a start. whole matches are tough for me today, and difficult, and more unpredictable than what the matches used to be for me, especially on clay, but i accept that role, i accepted that challenge. and i am excited about the way that i can be able to play if i keep working, and my body allow me. tadej pogacar remains 46 seconds ahead of britain's geraint thomas in the overall standings after stage

five of the giro d'italia. it ended in a sprint finish in luca in tuscany, with frenchman benjamin tomma claiming the first grand tour stage win of his career. it was also the first victory of the year for his cofidis team. both pogacar and tomma finished in the main group. rory mcilroy will not return to the pga tour policy board as it tries to find a way forward with liv golf. he had stepped down at the end of last year to concentrate on his game, but suggested recently he would return to help talks. ahead of this week's pga tour event in north carolina, he called for the sport to follow the example of the northern ireland peace process and seek "a compromise" that brings the divided parties together. so i sort of liken it to when northern ireland went through the peace process in the �*90s and the good friday agreement. you know, neitherside was happy — catholics weren't happy, protestants weren't

happy, but it brought peace, and if that's... and then you sort of learn to live with whatever has been negotiated, right? to rugby union, manu tuilagi has no regrets over his international career as he prepares to leave the english game and move to france. tuilagi won his 60th cap for england in the six nations against france in march but overseas—based players are not considered for selection by the national team. he'll play what is likely to be his final home game for sale sharks this friday before hejoins french top 14 club bayonne in the summer. i think it's still wanting to play, but i've learned that what you want, sometimes you don't always get, so, yeah, it's tough. and i think i'll miss it, but i'll, ithink, now, i'll be a fan, especially with the team that england have got now and how we did in the six nations. that last two games, ireland and then france, i mean, going to france

and taking it right down to the wire, it's exciting, and i'm excited to see the boys go injapan and new zealand to keep that growth going, and i think their is so much growth in that team, and i think, as a fan, i'm so excited to see. now this was the dramatic welcome that the port of marseille gave to the olympic flame today on it's arrival onto french soil amid tight security. this was the acrobatic display from the patrouille de france plenty for a packed crowd to appreciate. the flame arrived onboard a tall ship in the south of france after a 12—day

trip from greece. the torch was brought to land by florent manaudou, france's 2012 olympic men's 50 metres freestyle swimming champion. it eventually found it's way to marseille—born rapperjul, who lit the cauldron in front of an ecstatic crowd who were then treated to a show from the patrouille de france display team who swooped overhead. finally, we'll go back to champions league football — but we'll look at the stadium that hosted the semi final second leg. probably the biggest game to have taken place at the santiago bernabeu since real madrid's famous stadium completed its $1.8 billion renovation. and while it looks markedly different from the outside, it's the club's plans for what happens inside that are key to its revamp. the santiago bernabeu stadium was built in 1947. the way it looked in the past was a little bit like a roman amphitheatre

or something like that. it had a very classic look to it. this is completely different. this is very futuristic. this looks like a spaceship in the middle of the city. it really feels like you are in star wars or something like that. is every angle the same? it isn't. how are the curves? how do they even make those curves? it was an idea of making it look modern and making i it look almost a vanguard of the stadium. _ we are going to put this big stadium in the middle of the city and we are going to generate a lot of money through that. real madrid is the team of chamartin. when the bernabeu was originally built, there was absolutely nothing there. the city grew around it. it was on the suburbs 40 years ago. - as madrid rose, it's becoming the heart of the city. - right now, what we have done is to take advantage of that — of the great location. and we have kind of built a new stadium in the same location as it was. the old stadium looked pretty distinctive as well. this is different again. what they've done, really, is try and modernise the stadium, to give it a kind of a functionality the rest of the week, notjust on matchdays. starting this summer, - there's a concert every single day in the stadium. taylor swift has been booked to play, so many

other great artists. it's going to host nfl games as well and nba games. it's going to be used for multiple things, other than football. they've got this technology which will allow the pitch to kind of slide off, down into an interior greenhouse, which then looks after the grass, so that the grass, when it comes back out, it's almost like it's been sat there in the sunlight with the raking and the perfect conditions. the big thing, and the thing that everybody has been - talking about, of course, is that they've put - a withdrawable roof - on the stadium, which they are closing almost every game now. i i think there's a real sense here that if you close - the stadium, you can get - a better atmosphere inside it. the roof thing is really exciting. the players demand it. they want to play under the roof. jude bellingham said, i think the first game he played here at the bernabeu with the roof closed — it was against getafe in september — he said, "i have never heard that noise," and he has played for borussia dortmund. we have the petrol clubs in place at the moment — man city, psg, etc. florentino perez, the real madrid president, had this idea of, "ok,

what can we do to be "competitive against these petrol clubs? " and he thought about the stadium, and the stadium is our petroleum, in a way. that's what we are going to take advantage of. this, i think, is a lot about the president, but i do think that the most important thing is the money that is going to be made, and that is precisely what is going to allow us to continue competing to be the best club in the world. it certainly enjoyed seeing real madrid progress to the champions league final. that's it from me and the team soon. see you soon, bye—bye. hello. we've got a long—awaited spell of dry and sunny weather for many of us over the next few days. not quite dry everywhere. a bit of rain around across the far north of scotland. and we'll also see some misty, murky patches during the mornings. they could be a little bit slow to clear. so, not wall—to—wall blue skies for the next few days, but high pressure is bringing

a lot of dry, settled weather, with light winds, too. now, we're likely to start thursday morning with that patchy rain in the far north—west, but further south, i think some mist and some fog patches around here and there, particularly so for parts of the southwest of england and wales. could be some mistiness creeping into east anglia. around some of these irish sea coasts, the isle of man, towards cumbria, some of that fog could be quite slow to clear. for scotland, there'll be some brighter spells across eastern areas — like aberdeenshire, for instance — but there'll be more cloud and outbreaks of rain moving in across the western isles, parts of highland too. that rain looks like it eases away, pushes a little bit further northward. so for much of the uk, dry with sunny spells, and that's going to lift those temperatures to somewhere between around 19—22 degrees for many of us. just a little bit cooler across the north of scotland. now, through thursday evening, overnight into friday, we've got some more rain that'll push across

parts of highland. elsewhere, dry once again, relatively mild temperatures — in double figures for many of us. but again, i think friday morning could see a few misty patches that will gradually clear away. so friday itself, i think longer spells of sunshine on offer, light winds and those temperatures probably up a degree or so. so more widely, we're looking at temperatures in the low 20s, possibly the mid—20s in the south. still a little cooler than that for stornoway and lerwick, for instance. into the weekend, high pressure still close, but it slips away towards the east, and that willjust open the doors for areas of low pressure to try and move in from the west. but i think saturday itself, a good deal of dry weather. cloud will tend to bubble up through the day, and that could just spark off one or two showers, perhaps northern england, southern scotland, but they'll be hit—and—miss. temperatures are again up in the mid 20s — could see 2a in one or two places. similar start to the day on sunday, but you'll notice these showers trying to push in towards the west. they could be quite slow—moving, potentially heavy and thundery in places. where it does stay dry, probably towards the south and south—east, we could well see temperatures again in the mid—20s, but then it looks like the showers will dominate as we head into next week. so, more unsettled weather on the cards for the start

of next week. still a little bit warmer than average, but not as warm as the next few days.
