hello there, welcome along to sportsday. kyren wilson is the new world snooker champion. he held his nerve to beat qualifierjakjones to win the title for the first time, beating the welshman 18 frames to m at the crucible in sheffield. jones was always playing catch—up, from being 7—0 down, but he did mount something of a comeback with his first century of the final as he looked to cut wilson's lead. the match wasn't of the highest quality, some easy pots missed and a few outrageous flukes — wilson with that one. both men benefited from those. jones won three frames in a row, his best spell in the match, and he trailed byjust three frames at one stage.

but wilson finally got over the line. he was runner—up to ronnie o'sullivan four years ago. that was during the pandemic and only a limited number of spectators were allowed in. he certainly enjoyed this moment. i'm trying so hard to inspire a younger generation. hopefully i'm inspiring my kids. they did an interview this week and someone asked them who their sporting idol is — they said ronaldo. so hopefully i've overtook him now! laughter it's great. i just wanted to say thank you to each and every one of you for making this so special. i was robbed of this in the covid final. i will never forget this moment, so thank you all. applause erik ten hag took full responsibilty for manchester united's 4—0 defeat

at crystal palace but says he's still the man to get the club moving in the right direction. it was their biggest defeat to palace in over five years and the first time palace have done the double over united. they won at old trafford back in september. michael olise scored twice, with goals from jean—phillipe mateta and tyreek mitchell. united were hit by a fair few injuries and had a makeshift defence, but palace certainly deserved the win. they're finishing the season strongly, with four wins and a draw in their last five. united remain eighth, with european football a real long shot next season. i prepare the team in the best way i can. and we have many problems, so the only focus i have, to perform better with my team. so just finally tonight, - it doesn't add to any concern for yourself- about your position? i don't think about this, and that is, i think only about making my team better. and it's necessary, because we are underperforming.

stay humble, focus on the details. we struggled with defensive set plays. so we have to be honest — they could have scored one or two, but at the moment, we scored one. so, yeah, we always look at what we can improve. but, yeah, of course, this now is a very, very good phase of the season. the former spain and wolves boss julen lopetegui has agreed a deal to replace david moyes at west ham. the club has confirmed that moyes will leave at the end of the season, when his contract expires. lopetegui left wolves last august after just nine months in charge. his most successful managerial spell was his three years at sevilla, where he won the europa league in 2020. under moyes, west ham have twice finished in the top seven, but they have been struggling this season and haven't won in the past month. there has been success under david moyes. there's no doubt about that. nobody can argue that. but it is at least i know two years in which the club

were thinking, "should we change direction or not? "should we just give more spectacle to the fans, "more possession, more this and that?", the kind of thing you get with lopetegui. quite clearly, with the success in europe of last season, david moyes had to stay. but the chairman wants west ham to move into a different direction. to the third stage of the giro d'italia, where tim merlier sprinted to victory in fossano, finishing ahead ofjonathan milan. but that's only half the story, as nick ransom reports. italian heartland between turin and genoa gave race favourite tadej pogacar hope for a more relaxed afternoon after a puncture and crash on sunday. flatter terrain provided the slovenian opportunity to rest behind team—mates while sprinters took centre stage. and they did with around 50 km to go, forming their own breakaway. however, that lead soon fell away as the finish drew closer.

with 2 km left, pogacar — in pink — fancied a breakaway of his own alongside geraint thomas. the overall leaders could not keep their position at the front, though, with the sprinters ultimately showing their muscle surge to the finish line. a nearfour—hour race had become a bit of a lottery, and the man with the lucky ticket was belgian tim merlier on the left, who stole the stage by the narrowest of margins. thomas still trails pogacar in the overall classification, but while the favourite was today beaten, he is 46 seconds clear of the competition. nick ransom, bbc news. this could be bad news for tennis fans. world number two jannik sinner says he'll only play at this month's french open if he's100%. the australian open champion has pulled out of this week's italian open because of the injured hip that also saw him withdraw midway through madrid masters. he would have been a big draw in rome, in what is his home event. obviously, it's a tough call

for me to not play here, but i have to take care of the body firstly. it's the most special tournament i have throughout the whole year, so it's a tough one to swallow, but i just try to get back to 100% as soon as possible, hopefully trying to play in paris, and then wimbledon and all the rest. so we'll take our time. there is no rush. and, yeah, hopefully i can get back very, very soon. it's 70 years since one of sport's greatest feats. british runner roger bannister was warned by doctors not to even attempt running a mile in under four minutes because they thought it would kill him. but on the 6th of may 1954, the then—medical student, who died in 2018, ran the distance in 359.4. patrick gearey has the story.

archive: 25-year-old roger bannister, - third from the left, gets away at the iffley ground, oxford, for the race of his life. and so began 3:59.11 seconds of british sporting history. archive: chris brasher. setting the pace in front. there was certainly a feeling of it being a national event and something of a landmark for the country. but it had to be me attempting it, so it was entangled with my own effort. bannister, training to be a doctor, was trying to prove something, perhaps to himself, having slipped to fourth at the olympics two years earlier. but he was also engaged in an experiment. at the time, some scientists believed you would kill yourself trying to run a mile in four minutes. bannister disagreed. his friend chris brasher was tasked with setting the correct pace and tempering bannister�*s enthusiasm. we seemed to be going so slowly. impatiently, i shouted, "faster." but brasher kept his head and didn't change the pace.

bannister was an amateur, running was secondary to his studies, and he'd regard his medical career as the greater achievement of his life. but when the second pacemaker, chris chataway, started to tire, his moment arrived. when my mind took over, it raced well ahead of my body and drew me compellingly forward. i felt that the moment of a lifetime had come. i collapsed as i crossed the tape, but then i recovered sufficiently to hear him announcing, "..in a time which, "subject to ratification, will be a new world record, 3:.." and after that, the noise of the crowd obliterated the remainder of his announcement. archive: roger bannister had achieved a new peakl in the history of sport. it was a great surprise to me to be able to do it today, and i think i was very lucky. as you can tell, bannister wasn't one to oversell it, but others have compared his achievement

to the conquest of everest or the first transatlantic flight. he was simply happy to have proved his point. i was able to retire from running with a fairly happy ending. having, ithink, shown what i had always believed — that the four—minute mile was merely a psychological barrier, not a physical barrier. and of course, subsequent events have amply proved that. bannister�*s record was beaten just 46 days later, and seb coe was one of many to set new mile frontiers. archive: and he comes home with a new world record. - but they've all run in his slipstream. sir roger bannister believed that the mind should not constrain what the body can do. in that sense, he is the creator of the modern record—breaker. patrick gearey, bbc news. the amazing story of the four—minute mile that was broken 70 years ago.

that story, our top story is on the snooker table in sheffield because kyren wilson is the new world champion. he beatjakjones 18 frames to 1a. you can read more about that on the bbc sport website and app. but that is all from me and the team for now. hello. well, your bank holiday monday probably came with a rain interruption at some point. it was pretty unsettled. some lengthy spells of rain across the south—east of england, but plenty of showers elsewhere. others, though, managed some sunshine. and in lincolnshire, we had 11 hours of sun, so it wasn't so bad there, whereas others had the downpours. and across parts of northern england, we had a couple of funnel clouds spotted — one over saddleworth moor and another one in the derbyshire area. the weather is going to be improving, though, over the next few days as a ridge of high pressure starts to move its way in and that will tend

to settle the weather down. a slow process. we've still got a bit of rain left over across south—east england, one or two showers elsewhere, but these will tend to fizzle over the coming hours. and temperatures as we start off tuesday morning, generally around 8—10, the coldest spots down to about 5 degrees. and that's probably where we'll have the best of the early morning sunshine. now, where you do start off the day cloudy, and particularly around some of these north sea coasts, it could be quite grey. some mist and fog patches around, a few spots of drizzle, but it is an improving picture for the majority. cloud will thin and break up, with sunny spells becoming widespread into the afternoon. outside chance of a shower? yeah, it's possible, perhaps across the hills of wales and south—west england, one or two elsewhere, but not as many as we've seen over recent days. the vast majority of you will have a dry day and it will feel warmer when the sunshine comes out. the high pressure continues to build in for wednesday, but we do have weather fronts that will try to sneak in from the north—west. so wednesday, again, it should be a fine day for the vast majority of the country. certainly england, wales,

most of northern ireland looking dry with spells of warm sunshine, probably quite hazy sunshine. there will be some high cloud in the sky. but across the hebrides, highlands, orkney and shetland, it will turn cloudy, quite windy with outbreaks of rain moving in. in the sunshine, though, temperatures more widely climbing into the low 20s, so feeling progressively warmer. thursday, you've still got a risk of a few showers, this time for scotland. otherwise, some broken cloud and sunny spells. should be another dry day for most areas of northern ireland, england and wales. and again, those temperatures continue to climb. we're up to 19 in belfast. the warmest weather probably across eastern england, where temperatures will reach around 22, possibly 23 degrees celsius. that is going to feel warm in the sunshine, and there is more of that sunshine as we finish the week and head into the weekend, albeit probably with an increasing risk of seeing some showers moving in. that's your latest weather. bye— bye.
