three in a row for iga swiatek as once again she's crowned french open winner. also coming up on sportsday... the very latest from the european athletics championships — we'll be live in rome ahead of an action—packed evening to come. and we'll find out about a special charity football match between two teams of dads, who each came together as a way to aid their mental health. welcome to the programme. now, today, the challenge cup finals at wembley were especially poignant. less than a week on from his death, rob burrow was remembered by those in attendance. st helens were comfortable winners in the women's final, beating leeds rhinos 22—0, while in the men's final, wigan survived a late warrington comeback to lift their 21st title. adam wild reports. this is the day rugby league came together, the sport's grandest together, the sport's grandest occasion always a moment to remember. this year, even more so. fans of all club colours paying their own tributes to the life, the legacy of rob burrow, a legend on the field, and inspiration of it. the men's showpiece final, warrington against wigan beginning after an impeccable minute's silence, wigan world champions who took the first half lead, twisting and turning over. that their second try. the captain rampaging through to extend the lead, and from there, warrington wouldn't get back. wigan warriors, wembley winners once again. earlier, there was no fairy tale win for leeds. beaten by st helens for the third year in a fow. glory for the men and women on a day when the sport came together to remember one of its own. earlier we spoke to adam and he started with more on the tribute to rob burrow. it was always going to be an emotional day for many people, a difficult day. we have seen fans through challenge cup day laying shirts and flowers. many in tears. that is a testament to the profound impact that rob burrow had, notjust on rugby league, but the wider british public. it is his work post mnd diagnosis to raise awareness, to raise money for the community that has captured the heart of so many people. so many people having the opportunity on one of the grandest stage at wembley to share those emotions and share those thoughts. it has been a very special day. adam, i spoke about the celebrations. it seems they are still happening. if we talk about the men's final, a record 21st victory for wigan. was it as convincing as the score probably suggested? well, in truth, it probably was. wigan warriors champions once again. no one has won the challenge cup more times than them. they really now are the standard—bearers, notjust in british rugby, but world rugby. challenge cup winners, the reigning super cup champions and world champions. if warrington were honest, they didn't play at their best. but wigan were outstanding, as they have been so often in the past. let's hear from their captain liam farrell. a bit surreal. we haven't spoken about it until this week. to hold onto all trophies, there is only a couple other teams done it. very big achievement for ourselves. we are in a great place. the year is not over, lots of rugby left. don't get me wrong, we will celebrate but then back to business. adam, if we talk about the women's final, st helens. they have dominated by the aggregate score of 96—20. can they be stopped? well, you run out of superlatives for a side like st helens. champions for the last four years, three of those finals where they have beaten leeds rhinos. leeds were really desperate to win today, to put to bed those last two finals, but also of course the emotion around rob burrow. they wanted to do it for him today, they were devastated. but st helens once again superb. let's hear from their captain. i think the only thing better than doing it the first time is the second time. that is an amazing leeds side. to stop them from scoring, i couldn't be prouder. we spoke about, we are doing it for each other. when you thought you could get the ball, it is for others. they are champions. so, that isjodie cunningham, the st helens and england captain. a major award, they win it for the fourth year in a fow. earlier, wigan warriors were champions, the holders of all the major honours, super league champions, challenge cup winners and world club champions. a day when rugby league has come together on the grandest stage to honour what many people have said to me, rob burrow, one of the sport's own. adam at wembley. from rugby league to rugby union now, where northampton saints have ended a ten—year trophy drought. they are the premiership champions after being bath 25—21 in the playoff final. craig templeton was watching this one. a packed twickenham for the showpiece event in english club by. rug one of these sides will get their hands on the trophy once more. but this match changed with somebody losing their heads. you can't make tackles like that. sent off for an early bath. northampton took full advantage of the extra man immediately, with more space than before, scoring. saints added another, but bath got back into it, the try, 15—10 at half—time. it was the 1a men of bath who started quicker, a smart kick, and he did the rest and levelled the score. eventually their defence started showing leaks. saints found them brilliantly and alex mitchell scored the try to seal their first premiership title in a decade. what a moment — their final act as saints players to hold that trophy aloft. meanwhile, at the t20 world cup after their opening match against scotland was rained off — england are hoping to kick start their tournament. they are currently playing old rivals australie in barbados. england won the toss and decided to bowl. it hasn't gone to plan, australia started explosively. they put the defending champions under pressure early on with some huge hitting. they reached 50—0 inside four overs with a big total inside. england have dismissed both, with warner going for 39 and then travis head out. that was a short respite as australia _ that was a short respite as australia continued to pile on the runs as _ australia continued to pile on the runs as they headed for a big total. this is_ runs as they headed for a big total. this is the — runs as they headed for a big total. this is the latest, australia wondering 97—5 after 19 overs. you can follow it over on the bbc sport website. there is live radio commentary and text updates. south africa dodged defeat against the netherlands. an unbeaten 59 from david miller saw south africa win by four wickets. earlier, there was a huge shock in group c as afghanistan beat 2021 finalists new zealand. rahmanullah gurbaz top—scored with 80 to set a target of 160. but new zealand got nowhere near it, fazalhaq farooqi taking four wickets as they bowled out the kiwis to win by 84 runs. that makes it two wins from two for afghanistan and they are currently top of their group. so, while england aim to defend their t20 world cup trophy, iga swiatek has successfully defended her french open crown. the number one seed beat italianjasmine paolini at roland garros for her third straight women's singles title. patrick gearey was watching. jasmine paolini had been climbing fast, rising from relative obscurity to the biggest stage of her life, but now another level altogether. iga swiatek is the queen of clay, but jasmine paolini couldn't afford to offer too much respect. she broke her early on, but swiatek was the back—to—back champion, she sensed the moment. she was soon on top. in the set and on your screen, the polish world number one can move the match into fast forward. paolini knew it was going away, and her remarkable turn has seen her beat great players, but swiatek is something else. she ceded one game in the second set, she's lost one singles match in the last five championships. at roland garros, she's moving from champion to phenomenon. it is more competitive, more complicated at the other grand slams. in paris, iga swiatek stands clear, a pole apart. so, swiatek�*s dominance has earned her the nickname "the queen of clay" which is a nod to 14—time men's singles champion rafa nadal, who was similarly dominant in paris. but our tennis correspondent russell fuller says it's not a title swiatek particularly wants. she tries to avoid comparisons to rafa nadal because quite probably she won'twin14 french open titles. she already has four and turned 23 on the first friday of the championships. she's not been as dominant on other surfaces. she has won the us open, but four of herfive grand slam titles have come on the clay. it looks like it will be her strength. in terms of history, at such a young age, she has now drawn level with martina hingis on five grand slam titles. as you mention, wimbledon possibly next, a test. speaking of which, some british success in the form of the men's wheelchair doubles. yes, a familiar story for gordon reid and alfie hewitt. everywhere they go to play, paris a fifth consecutive title. they came through in straight sets, the second seeds from japan. another triumph for them and it was slightly improved alfie hewitt�*s mood because he lost the single final a couple of days ago. a blockbuster day in paris today, and tomorrow we could be in for some match in the men's final. yes, because alcaraz may be the favourite against zverev, but zverev has won five of their nine matches, in the australian open. when they met at rubbing garrulous two years ago, zverev was the winner. —— at roland garros. alcaraz was crumbling, zverev has played a lot of tennis, including one which finished at one o'clock in the morning. he is very good on clay, he's very good on the court. he's got a lot of experience playing there and he's been in the semifinal four years in there and he's been in the semifinal fouryears in a there and he's been in the semifinal four years in a row and is in the final, so this will be a competitive final, so this will be a competitive final indeed. qualifying for this weekend's canadian grand prix is to come later this evening. you'll be able to stay across that from 9pm over on the bbc sport website, with the race live from 7 o'clock on radio 5 live and bbc sounds tomorrow evening. lewis hamilton went quicker, the seven time world champion was 0.3 seconds ahead of max verstappen. his fellow briton george russell was third. let's have a quick look at some of the other stories making the headlines today. preemoz roglitch looks like he's coming into form just in time for the tour de france. despite being hurt in a serious crash at the tour of the basque country two months ago, the slovenian has claimed back to back wins. he's leading byjust over a minute going into tomorrow's final stage. dutch cyclist lorena viebers claimed victory on stage three of the women's tour of britain which started and finished in warrington. her team mate world champion lotte kopecky retained her 17 second lead over britain's anna henderson. michael dunlop added to his record tally of wins at the isle of man tt by securing victory in saturday's second supersport race. dunlop�*s success took his total number of wins at the event to 28 and made it three in the week for the northern irishman. it's the second day of the european athletics championships in rome, as athletes prepare for this summer's olympics in paris. let's go live to our sports correspondent natalie pirks who is there for us. we spoke earlier and it was very loud, lots of action.— loud, lots of

father's day is just round the corner, and few things will capture both the joy and pain of fatherhood than a special charity football match between two teams of dads on sunday. sands united is a team for bereaved fathers, and players say it's the only place they can openly talk about their grief and the children they've lost, with people who understand. on sunday, they play new dads united, for people who've recently had children, and they're working with nhs researchers looking at ways to potentially help men avoid post—natal depression. james dunn's been to meet some of the players. it is a coming together, a chance to swap stories, this is new dads united. it is rory�*s first session. it would be great to make new friends who are going through what i am. to share that experience and play football in between, perfect. there is a training session once a week, the time just flies by. he is 18 months now so it is old dads united. something to look forward to, that 90 minutes to yourself with people who are in the same boat as you but even after, peace and quiet, you walk in the door and it is smiles. it isn't football, it is family, and there's no such thing as letting the side down. we want to create that you don't need to commit to play. if you can't. .. becoming a dad is a huge thing. nothing can prepare you for it. it is important you can share how you are feeling and challenges you are having. in their monthly match, this father's day, they will face a team who've gone through something very different. at sands united, everyone has dealt with baby loss. what the two teams have in common is support. these lads saved me, they helped keep my marriage together, through work, planning a funeral. joe's wife had a miscarriage and stillbirth. hejoined sands united a few days later. families care, work, but six months down the line it is never brought up. their birthdays don't count, you are the only one blowing candles out on a cake. it is the one good thing of the club, we are putting it out that way you can say your child's name and scream from the heavens. we lost our baby in the original lockdown. never suffer in silence. you do need a support network. that understands you and be with you there all the time. all we want to do is something for them. we don't get to read them bedtime stories or pick them up from school or ride a bike. this is what we do, it is the only thing we can do, raise awareness and be the best man i can. the game's in faversham town this sunday and tickets raised go towards a service for fathers. 0n the sidelines will be dozens of children, including amira, and joe's son, now 18 months old. with help from the group, both men found the courage to try again. just a reminder of the top story. a poignant day at wendy saw saint helens when the trophies as the sport paid tribute to rob burrow a week on from his sad passing. that is all, thank you for watching. from me and the rest of the bbc sport team, goodbye for now. hello. it's been a pretty decent start to the weekend. there was a good deal of sunshine around across most of the country. a bit of cloud here and there, a few showers mostly in the north. part two of the weekend doesn't look quite as good. it will start certainly quite chilly. but we've got a couple of weather fronts pushing down from the northwest that will increase cloud through the day with some splashes of rain. and we've got this weather front approaching the northwest of the country to move through this evening. showers merging together to produce longer spells of rain for the north and west of scotland. so unsettled, breezy, showery in the north, turning cloudier for northern ireland, but clearer skies for large parts of england and wales with lighter winds here. so it will turn chilly for most, single digits, i think, for the majority of the country. but with more cloud across northern ireland, we will fall to around ten degrees in belfast. so sunday, then, we've got low pressure still towards the norwegian sea there, bringing northern westerly winds into the country. we start to have quite a bit of sunshine. scotland, england and wales, cloudy skies for northern ireland, southwest scotland in towards northwest england, north wales. and that cloud with splashes of rain will spill south—eastwards through the day. so it will turn cloudy across much of england and wales, probably the best of the sunshine across the far south west and the northern half of scotland doing pretty well with sunny spells. but there will be blustery showers here and a cooler day to come, i think, because of more cloud around, temperatures of about 12 to 17 degrees. as we move through sunday night, that area of rain splashes across the irish sea to much of england and wales, becomes confined to southern and eastern areas by the end of the night. so where we have the cloud and the rain, then, a less cold night here, 10 to 12 degrees under clearer skies. further north, it will turn chilly. we start to pick up a northerly wind as we move into monday. that rain slowly clears away from the south and east. it may take a while to clear the east of england. eventually it will do that. it's a bright day for most, sunshine and showers. most of these across the northern half of scotland, where they will be quite blustery and a chilly northerly wind at that. temperatures, 10 to 1a degrees in the north, 15 to 17 further south, giving some sunny spells. and we hold on to this chilly northerly wind through tuesday, even into wednesday as well. and before low pressure starts to move in from the south west, that'll cut off the chilly northerly and temperatures will slowly recover towards the end of the week. but it's going to be a fairly unsettled and a cool week to come with a little bit of sunshine here and there. live from london, this is bbc news. emotional reunions for the four israeli hostages rescued from nuseirat in central gaza as they finally get to hug family and friends. all four were abducted by hamas from a music festival on october the 4th. doctors say they are doing well. i'd like to thank each and everyone — the president, the prime minister and everyone. please don't forget that there are another 120 hostages in captivity. we must release them and make every effort in any way to bring them to israel and their families. the israeli military has released these images as the unusual daylight raid got under way. 0ne special forces officer died of his injuries. hamas claims more than 200 palestinians were killed — and some hostages also died during the operation. bbc news obtains new video footage believed to be one of the last two sightings of the missing tv and radio presenter michael mosley. and we'll have the latest from the general election campaign as the conservatives are pledging stamp duty cuts and labour promises to reform business rates. israeli forces have rescued four of the hostages who were captured by hamas last october and who are believed to have been held in gaza since then.
