this is bbc news — the headlines... the israeli military says about 300,000 palestinians have left the city of rafah since it ordered them to evacuate on monday — but the un warns they're moving to an area which lacks basic infrastructure. thousands protest against israel's involvement in the eurovision song contest in malmo, sweden ahead of tonight's grand final. the netherlands is out of the eurovision song contest, after the dutch singer joost klein is disqualified — police are investigating a complaint made against the singer. hundreds of people have been killed and thousands of homes destroyed by majorflooding in northern afghanistan. and, the most powerful solar storm in 21 years — triggers celestial light—shows in many parts of the world — with scientists expecting another display later this evening.

now on bbc news, it's sportsday. hello, welcome to saturday sportsday, live from the bbc sport centre. i'm ben croucher. it's a parkhead party — as celtic win the old firm derby to put one hand on the scottish premiership trophy. but it's a sinking feeling for luton town and burnley in the premier league. all the reaction from a huge day in the premier league to come. and rough start — smooth finish, as england beat pakistan in the opening t20 international. also coming up on sportsday... get the abacus out — as northampton saints go try crazy in the premiership. and on the 75th anniversary of the badminton horse trials — we'll be live with a couple of british contenders.

it's a phrase you'll be used to hearing at this time of year — "all but". when you want to celebrate — inevitably do — but need to temper those festivities just slightly. when a team has done everything but mathmatically secure the title. but in scotland, celtic are happy not only because they beat rivals rangers 2—1, but because it means that have all but sealed a third straight scottish premiership title, with two games to go. we'll kick off sportsday with this report from keredine idisanne. derby day in glasgow — celtic and rangers! high stakes, high drama. in

ten mad minutes before half—time, the good, the bad and the ugly. celtic�*s matt 0'riley with the good. reijnders�* john celtic�*s matt 0'riley with the good. reijnders�*john lundstram celtic�*s matt 0'riley with the good. reijnders�* john lundstram with the badge, an own goal. the visitors responded through their service. then the ugly— a late lundstram lunge. a red card. rangers down to ten for the whole of the second half. a stroll in the celtic son? not quite. matt 0'riley missed a penalty, but the champions held firm until the end. the celtic fans filed out of the arena here in party mode, celebrating yet another league title. out of the arena here in party mode, celebrating yet another league title. technically, out of the arena here in party mode, celebrating yet another league title. technically, one out of the arena here in party mode, celebrating yet another league title. technically, one more out of the arena here in party mode, celebrating yet another league title. technically, one more point is required but few in scotland are in doubt of the destination of the title. so, this is what it's done

at the top of the table then. celtic six points clear. two games to go. but that goal difference is significant better so barring the extraordinary — celtic will be champions. we are in a great place, we have taken the six—point advantage with two games to go, and we have an extra goal difference as well. but we are not over the line yet. we are in an amazing position, that was the opportunity we had today to win that game to put us in that place. the players have done that. still plenty to sort out elsewhere. kilmarnock sealed fourth and a europa league spot by beating st mirren. hearts dented dundee�*s european hopes with a 3—0 win at tynecastle. in the bottom six, stjohnstone conceded late at livinstone and missed the chance to pull well clear of the bottom two. ross county remain second bottom after being thrashed by motherwell. we'll tell you how manchester city return to the top of the premier league shortly, but first to matters at the other

end of the table, where burnley�*s one—year stay in the top flight is over. it was always going to be a tall order at tottenham, where only a win would have kept alive their faint hopes of survival. and they started brightly whenjacob bruun larsen slid in the opener. but goals from pedro porro and micky van der ven ensured vincent kompany�*s side would be making an immediate return to the championship. i'm very lucky to be surrounded by good people, hard—working players, hard—working staff, and fans that have backed the club for generations. that is kind of who we try to do for every single weekend. today the premier league is over, but tomorrow we start day one of do it in everything we can to get to the premier league. they one of next season starts tomorrow for me, personally.

get ready for that phrase again, as luton town are all but relegated too, after slipping to a 2—1 defeat at west ham united. they led at half time but conceded three second half goals to slip to a 3—1 defeat. it leaves them three points behind nottingham forest, with a far inferior goal difference, with one game to go. the game also marked david moyes�* final match at the london stadium as west ham boss. let's hearfrom both managers — starting with luton�*s rob edwards. i think we know our fate now. i was emotional at the end, i'm an emotional at the end, i'm an emotional person. lots of hugs on the touchline, when our supporters started reacting the weighted dead, you just got me. what started reacting the weighted dead, you just got me-_ you just got me. what makes me really proud _ you just got me. what makes me really proud is — you just got me. what makes me really proud is the _ you just got me. what makes me really proud is the growth - you just got me. what makes me really proud is the growth the - really proud is the growth the players out at him have shown. i know in the end it doesn't get you points, but i do care about how we play and what we do and how we go about it. we'll get over this. it is difficult, i know it is like the end of the world right now, but i know

is not. tomorrow we have to pick ourselves up. what will make it easier is the fact that this club is so united. ., ., easier is the fact that this club is so united-— easier is the fact that this club is so united. ., ., so united. huge emotion, let me tell ou. just so united. huge emotion, let me tell you- just being _ so united. huge emotion, let me tell you. just being the _ so united. huge emotion, let me tell you. just being the manager - so united. huge emotion, let me tell you. just being the manager of - so united. huge emotion, let me tell you. just being the manager of such | you. just being the manager of such a great _ you. just being the manager of such a great football club. sometimes when _ a great football club. sometimes when you — a great football club. sometimes when you think you have done a good 'ob, when you think you have done a good job, it _ when you think you have done a good job, it is _ when you think you have done a good job, it is good when people applaud you, job, it is good when people applaud you. and _ job, it is good when people applaud you. and i_ job, it is good when people applaud you, and i think today they applauded, notjust today's applauded, not just today's performance, applauded, notjust today's performance, but i think overall in the four— performance, but i think overall in the four years we have done a pretty -ood the four years we have done a pretty good job— the four years we have done a pretty good job here. giving them some things— good job here. giving them some things that haven't had for a while, european _ things that haven't had for a while, european football, some really big nights— european football, some really big nights here. so, nottingham forest know a point guarantees safety. only a couple of huge defeats — combined with a luton win on the last day would send them down. they're taking on chelsea right now and they are doing what is required — that's despite falling behind. cole palmer playing in mykhailo mudryk to put the visitors in front. but it wasn't long before forest pulled themselves level, willy boly�*s header making it one each. the second half is just under

way at the city ground. well at the other end of the table, manchester city did stage of the season — win, and win well. a 4—0 victory at fulham takes them back to the top of the premier league — ahead of arsenal having played the same number of games. patrick gearey watched this one. tempting as it may be, this was needed to be messing about by the river. film needed full focus, full throttle, and as it turns out their full—back. josko gvardiol�*s fourth goal in a little more than a month. defenders don't tend to score that much, exhibit a, defenders don't tend to score that much, exhibita, manuelakanji. in the second half city delivered on their feet. the second half city delivered on theirfeet. the the second half city delivered on their feet. the season, the second half city delivered on theirfeet. the season, phil foden has become such a reliable front man. title races can be stressful, but this was fun in the sun. gvardiol again, for one notable oasis of calm. a second yellow card,

julian alvarez got the penalty. 4—0, and city are back on top for now. this group of players for many years have and city are back on top for now. this group of players for many years have done and city are back on top for now. this group of players for many years have done it. and city are back on top for now. this group of players for many years have done it. we and city are back on top for now. this group of players for many years have done it. we are and city are back on top for now. this group of players for many years have done it. we are in and city are back on top for now. this group of players for many years have done it. we are in the and city are back on top for now. this group of players for many years have done it. we are in the latter stages. we have the final. 0ur green is... they lost against aston villa, our destiny is in our hands, we decide 0k, our destiny is in our hands, we decide ok, the final as west ham at home. we created chances. now recover, come back to manchester, recover. in a few days come back to london and play the final. so, here's the eight games in the premier league today. what haven't we told you about? yoane wissa scored a 95th—minute winner as brentford beat bournemouth. everton beat already relegated sheffield united. newcastle's pursuit of european football next season not helped with a 1—1 draw

at home to brighton. crystal palace continued their good form at molineux against wolves. confirmation of that latest score at the city ground too. all of the goals on match of the day — bbc two at 10:00 this evening because of eurovision. to wembley next, because tomorrow it will be sold out when a new name is etched onto the women's fa cup. for the first time since 2005, the final doesn't contain one of chelsea, manchester city or arsenal. for manchester united and tottenham, it's arguably the biggest game in both their histories. it's arguably the biggest game 0ur correspondent, katie gornall, has more. tomorrow it will be the colours of manchester united and spurs underneath that wembley arch in what is set to be a huge day for both clubs. neitherside is set to be a huge day for both clubs. neither side has lifted this trophy before, and spirits have never even appeared in the final before, so it is certainly a massive occasion for their club and the latest step that has two on a journey that has taken them all the

way from the grassroots level of the football period meant to the biggest stage in the game. the manager said he will be savouring every moment. i'm not going to live, you can view anybody it is a big week, a fun week. it is not only stress, but it is actually a good feeling in your body. i've been working pretty much 30 years to get to the stadium. it is more like enjoying the ride here. the film i get with that is of course a mixture of stress and happiness. —— the feelings i get with that. i love those feelings. i'm looking forward to the skin, and hopefully we can win and get the trophy. but if we lose, i'm going to be very upset, but i know even if you weeks after that i will be very proud of what they have done. it's a good feeling, actually.— good feeling, actually. manchester united are in _ good feeling, actually. manchester united are in a _ good feeling, actually. manchester united are in a very _ good feeling, actually. manchester united are in a very different - good feeling, actually. manchester united are in a very different place| united are in a very different place from last year when they lost the

call, but we can say history will be made tomorrow. a sold—out wembley awaits. one other football story to mention — mk dons face crawley town in the league two promotion play—off semifinal. that kicks off at 7:45. crawley won the first leg 3—0. the winners will face crewe alexandra in the play—off final — that's a week tomorrow at — you guess it — at wembley. you can follow that on the website — bbc.co.uk/sport. to cricket — where james anderson, england's all time leading wicket taker and one of the greatest bowlers to ever grace the game, has confirmed he will retire from international cricket injuly. he'll bow out after the opening test against west indies at lord's. at the age of ai, he said there was no greater feeling than representing england, and no player has done it more often either. he made his test debut back in 2003. streaks in his hair and plenty of highlights to come, as one of the finest exponents of swing bowling. 12 years later, he overtook sir ian botham's record for the most test wickets. the milestones followed. in 2018, he surppassed glenn mcgrath to pick up the most test wickets by a pace bowler.

he currently stands on 700, third on the all—time list, with his 188th and final test match to come in a couple of months. in a statement, anderson says, "it's been an incredible 20 years representing my country, playing the game i've loved since i was a kid. i'm going to miss walking out for england so much. but i know the time is right to step aside and let others realise their dreams just like i got to." the international summer got under way in birmingham, as england women beat pakistan by 53 runs in the opening t20 international. a comfortable victory on the face of it — but it wasn't that straight forward. lydia campbell reports. five months out from the t20 world cup, the start of the summer of cricket is the perfect time to prove why you should be included in the squad. but this isn't the start of my boucher wanted. and this was just

a beginning of a difficult start for england. england were left 11—4. england. england were left 11—4. england desperately needed some stability, and often with a jones thatis stability, and often with a jones that is what you get. together, amy jones and his two heather knight made a 50 run partnership, bringing england back into the game. jones eventually found 37, while heather knight reach 49. but sophie ecclestone and danny gibson continue to fight back, with england reaching one 640 in their innings. pakistan would need a very fast that if they were to complete an unlikely comeback. and it wasn't long before they had reached 50. butjust like that, in a moment of magic from jones stop them in their tracks.

they try to keep the runs ticking over, and they were doing a good job— until bus. run out byjones. pakistan's hopes were fading. jones then took a fourth catch of the day. not a bad day two way to mark your 100th t20. despite a flurry of late runs from pakistan, england wrapped up runs from pakistan, england wrapped up the match with 53 runs to spare. a poor start, but a strong finish from england to get their summer of cricket under way. loads more going on around the world on this sunny saturday. tadej pocagar has extended his lead at the giro d'italia after winning stage 8. he now has a lead of nearly three minutes over rivals, dani martinez and geraint thomas. jorge martin has extended his motogp championship lead after dominating the french grand prix sprint from marc marquez. francesco bagnaia retired early. and great britain lost 4—2 to canada

in their ice hockey world championship opener. liam kirk gave gb a surprise lead in prague but the top seeds were just too strong. next up, second seeds finland. you don't get the nickname the king of clay for nothing, but it seems that rafa nadal�*s aura on the red dust has distinctly diminished. continuing his return from a long—standing injury, he was no match for hubert hurkacz at the italian 0pen. with more on that and defeat forjack draper, here's reginaldo rosario. the eternal city comes in the middle of an internal legacy. a ten time winner in rome. rafael nadal came up against hubert hurkacz. but he dropped the first set 6—1. there were brief glimpses of vidal�*s excellence in the second, but brief

glimpses were all though were. hubert hurkacz taking the second set 6-3 hubert hurkacz taking the second set 6—3 and a setting rafael nadal out. hardly ideal preparation for the french open in two weeks' time. from the present to the potential future for tenants. jack draper going blue to blue with daniil medvedev, and coming up better. but in the top see turvey for a set, it was eventually meant we did that one out, taking a 7-5 meant we did that one out, taking a 7—5 and leaving draper with a taste of clay. draper continued to fight, but daniil medvedev saw off the challenge to see out the amount 6—4. defeat for draper, but promising signs against one of the very best in the world. in the women's event, world number one iga swiatek is through to the last 16 in rome after beating yulia putinseva. swiatek took the first set 6—1

but was made to work in the second, coming from 4—1 down to win 6—4. the two—time champion takes on angelique kerber next. to rugby union — where if the sport had a vidiprinter, it would probably need to write out the score at franklins gardens, where leaders northampton saints beat gloucester 90 — that's nine—zero — 90—0. the largest home victory in the history of the premiership. they ran in 14 tries in total, alex mitchell amongst the scorers in the first half, to lead 40—0 at the interval. gloucester were not spared from the humiliation in the second half. 0llie sleightholme completied his hat trick with this brilliant solo effort, running almost the length of the field to go over. the bonus point win seals their spot in the play—offs and keeps them top of the league. four points clear of saracens, who beat in—form bristol bears by 41—20 at ashton gate. england second row maro itoje scored two tries to boost their play—off hopes, but bristol now need to beat harlequins next week and hope other results go their way.

meanwhile in the united rugby championship, bulls bulls edged past glasgow, despite a late comeback from the visitors. bulls, based in pretoria, led by 27 points going in to the final 15 minutes, eventually winning by 40—34. despite defeat, glasgow remain top of the table. two games in super league today with wigan up to third — for the time being — after a 48—6 win against huddersfield giants. a hat—trick of tries from liam marshall and a brace from bevan french helping them dominate proceedings in west yorkshire. catalan dragons could go above them with a win against leeds. the score in that one currently 14—0 to catalan. it's 75 years since the first badminton horse trials, the most famous and prestigious three day event in the world. this year's competition has been as tough as ever, but there are five brits still in the top ten and as it's an olympic year there's a little extra tension. lizzie greenwood—hughes is there with two of great britain's best placed riders.

welcome to the biggest about this, the wimbledon of the sporting event. i don't know what your knowledge of sporting events are like, but i can how it is a horse triathlon. the first part is the triage, a kind of precision because of movements were there to perform precision movements and they are marked accordingly. they lose penalty score is what you want. the second part of this horse triathlon is the cross country, there really tough endurance phase, but they have to be brave, courageous and strong and they have to gallop around, over 32 fences, four miles, and hopefully by the end of it get inside the optimum time. nobody done that today. but two did get around and are still in the competition looking ahead to tomorrow. i don't want to be rude, but this is kind of oldies corner. you have done is 35 times, this is

painful in rome when a water bottle inadvertantly fell out of the spectator�*s bag and hit him on the head following his win over corentin moutet yesterday. he said he was fine. but was taking no chances when he came to meet the fans again today. a cycle helmet — just in case. the bump on the head didn't knock the sense of humour out of him! just a reminder of our top story. celtic have all but won the scottish premiership title after beating rangers in the old firm derby. burnley are down in the premier league. nottingham forest currently drunk 1-1 with nottingham forest currently drunk 1—1 with chelsea, meaning as things stand lit luton town will go down too. —— currently drawing 1—1 with chelsea. plenty more on the bbc sport website and app, but from me and the rest of the sportsday team. thanks for watching.

hello. well, the show�*s not over yet. we have both a music spectacle on and, of course, a light display in the heavens. and once again, saturday night, a pretty good chance of catching a glimpse of the aurora borealis or the northern lights. the viewing conditions will be good, if not excellent, across much of the uk with the clear skies and try about 11pm onwards. get your eyes used to that dark sky, away from any bright city lights if you can. now, here's the probability of the aurora occurring. this is just an approximation. so the red colour is pretty much 90% to 100%, and then that chance drops off somewhat as you head southwards across the uk. but it really could happen almost anywhere and there's some uncertainty even with that. now, the weekend weather forecast, some uncertainty, too. and the weather is going to produce a spectacle of its own.

in fact, thunderstorms in the forecast for sunday. now, let's get the outlook, then, for the rest of the evening and into the overnight hours. so let's take a tour across the uk around about midnight where we are expecting the clear skies. so you can see much of scotland, the aurora should be visible easily here and certainly out of town. beautiful displays of green and purple and violet, also a chance of catching it further south. very little in the way of cloud. if you are unlucky, you mightjust have to wait for that bank of cloud to clear away. and remember, the aurora isn't just a brief occurrence. it can last over a couple of hours, so there'll be plenty of opportunity to go out and check again. now, the temperatures first thing in the morning, typically around 9 to 13 degrees. so a relatively mild start to sunday with a lot of sunshine. and on sunday we start with high pressure just about in charge of the weather. and thanks to this high pressure, we will have had the clear skies and the chance to catch glimpses of the aurora. but it is slipping away, that high, low pressure is moving in as are weather fronts, and these weather fronts

will be responsible for sparking off some thunderstorms during the course of sunday. and some of them could be heavy, indeed, pretty nasty across western areas of the uk. and the temperatures every bit as warm if not warmer. highs up to about 26 degrees in london. that's it from me. bye— bye.

live from london. this is bbc news. the grand final of the eurovision song contest gets under way against a background of protests against israel's participation. the israeli military says about 300,000 palestinians have left the city of rafah since they've been ordered to evacuate on monday. but the un warns they're moving to an area which lacks basic infrastructure. thousands of demonstrators in georgia take to the streets of tbilisi, in the latest protest against legislation that would force organisations to declare foreign funding. and the most powerful solar storm in 21 years triggers celestial light—shows in many parts of the world, with scientists expecting another display later this evening. hello, i'm samantha simmonds.

we start with the eurovision song contest, which is now
