Because i travel a lot for Myjob Covering Football and during normal times i travelled to places like porto once every two months. Maybe once every month. Im travelling all the time but it has been so long now that this feels incredibly special. It feels like an adventure so coming here is an adventure. For chelsea it is an adventure. Chelsea won the champions so there is less pressure on chelsea however Manchester City, and massive adventure for them as well because they have never won it before. This is the One that they have not won yet and they are desperate to get this trophy in the cabinet because if they get it in the cabinet then they can hOnestly say, they are One of the great teams. And it is a historical moment for them and they managed to do that. If they play their best they will certainly win. However that is not what happens in Champions League finals. There is luck and just the situation and build up, unexpected decisions by referees are brilliant goals, bad mistakes. Nothing can be taken for granted and it should be very exciting. You taken for granted and it should be very exciting taken for granted and it should be very exciting. You have played are not there to very exciting.

You have played are not there to the strength of the i not there to the strength of the Manchester City team that will be playing later this evening. What is it then that chelsea needs to get right . The players are the strategy . A great question. I do actually think it is strategy, yes. Chelsea have got a squad of 22 players that are almost interchangeable. Any different to probably does it however this strategy is important. And over the last two games, they have One. Slightly weakened Manchester City teams on both occasions and to make tactical changes that made a big, big difference and what that was puzzled about the Fact Manchester santi are high and chelsea got phenomenal pace to break and i suspect thatll be the same. I look at this window beside me and it is getting hotter and hotter and hotter and players are tired at The End of the season so those players who can be quick by The End of the game, that might be it. ~. ,. ,. , The End of the game, that might be it. ~. ,. ,. ,. , The End of the game, that might be it.

An 18 year old man has been charged in connection with the Attempted Murder of black lives matter activist, Sasha Johnson. 27 year old sasha, remains in a critical condition in hospital, after she was shot in the head at a House Party in peckham last sunday. Well our correspondent Tim Muffett is at westminster� s Magistrates Court for us now. Whats the latest tim . Almost a week since Sasha Johnson was shot in south london. She is the mother of two and remained in critical condition and as you were saying this morning an 18 year old appeared here at westminster magistrates� court. He is charged with conspiracy to murder. An application for bail was refused and he is now due to appear at the Old Bailey on the 25th ofjune. Now, four other men arrested this week in relation to this incident, they have been bailed until the End Ofjean said that is the latest hair from westminster magistrates� court. Tim. Westminster Magistrates Court. Tim, thank Ou Westminster Magistrates Court. Tim, thank you very westminster Magistrates Court. Tim, thank you very much westminster Magistrates Court. Tim, thank you very much indeed. The White House has announced new sanctions against belarus in response to the forced diversion of a commercial flight to minsk. It called the incident, which resulted in the detention of an Opposition Journalist and his girlfriend, a direct affront to international norms. The leader of belarus, alexander lukashenka, said the west was trying to destabilise his country. Belarus� opposition leader, Svetlana Tikhanovskaya seen here with the dutch Prime Minister last week is due to lead a � belarus solidarity� march, in the lithuanian capital, vilnius. It� s One year to the day, since her husband sergei was imprisOned. He was due to stand as a candidate in the president ial elections last year. She� s called for global protests in support of the democracy movement. Earlier, i spoke to our correspondent, 0lga ivshina, in london, and asked her what impact the us sanctions were likely to have on mr lukashenko. First of all the sanctions are going to address the closed circle of his allies and people from his administration, but what is also important is that from the 3rd of june, the sanctions are going to be addressed and they are going to touch nine State Funded Enterprises and this means that the sanctions will also have an impact on the of belarus and people who live in belarus, and this means that the already struggling economy is going to struggle even more and that is the problem not only for the leader but also for the people of the country. Is President Putin likely to be comfortable openly supporting the president . It seems that he already is, you know. And yesterday� s meeting it lasted for more than five hours and there was an open part where they joked and putin had invited the president to swim. The water is 10 degrees, it is not that warm. And that is exactly the relations between russia and belarus. Not that warm, but they are allies. He was pursuing his own goals and was critical of moscow on some occasions, and the balance of europe, china and russia. He is not seen as a stable partner for but for putin it is so important to keep him in power. For him, it is so important to show that he strongly supports him and he is not going to tolerate revolution in any of his neighbouring countries to happen any more. In what form or that support come from russia . It is hard to say at the moment. The details of the negotiations are still not revealed to the press, but it is quite possible that belarus will ask for more economic help from moscow because the economy does need a strong hand. But we need to remember that the russian economy is doing not so great, too. And even though Mr Putin is definitely comfortable supporting him in public there is growing concern in putin� s and other economic and political social circles of russia. There will be pressure on him to. The main trouble here is there is this Demand And Hope for change in the belarus in people but the price for a change for individuals too high. But the price for russia of the absence of change is quite acceptable. Republicans have criticised President Biden� s plan to increase federal Government Spending to the highest level since the second World War. His 6 Trillion Dollar Budget would include mOney to invest in infrastructure, education and green technology. The White House says it� s needed to get america� s economy moving. But One senator has called the plan � insanely expensive�. 0ur North America correspondent, david willis, reports. President biden is looking to boost american manufacturing, and with it the lower and middle class. He� s proposing a massive programme of public spending, the largest since the second World War, a plan that would add trillions of dollars to this country� s national debt. Last month, in a president ial address to congress, he said america� s economy needed to be reimagined and rebuilt. My fellow americans. Trickle down. Trickle down economics has never worked, and it� s time to grow the economy from the bottom and the middle out. Applause. The president � s proposals include spending 4. 5 trillion on infrastructure and social programmes over the course of the next decade, an additional 14 Billion on climate initiatives designed to accelerate the move away from Fossil Fuels and more than 2 Billion on addressing the problems caused by gun violence, including provisions for tighter background checks. All paid for by tax increases on wealthy americans and big corporations. Republican reaction was sharp and severe. President biden� s proposal would drown american families in debt, deficits and inflation, tweeted mitch mcconnell, the republican leader in the senate. All setting the stage for a bitter fight in congress over what democrats regard as the long overdue redistribution of wealth, and their oppOnents see as a return to the dark days of big government. The party� s differences were laid bare only hours earlier when senate republicans voted to block the formation of a commission to investigate the events of january the 6th, a day which Saw Hundreds of Donald Trump supporters storm the Capitol Building in washington, dc, delaying the Certification Ofjoe Biden as president. Republicans feared such a commission could harm their chances in next year� s congressional elections. The Senate Leader accused them of seeking to sweep the events ofjanuary the 6th under the rug. Out of Fear Or Fealty to Donald Trump, the republican minorityjust prevented the american people from getting the full truth about january the 6th. The republican minorityjust prevented the senate from even debating the bill. No opportunity for amendments, no opportunity for debate. There was an attempt by the republican minority to shunt this vote into the dark of night. But because of todays senate time agreement, it was dOne in broad daylight. The american people will see how each republican senator voted. The vote ends any chance of a nonpartisan inquiry into the events of that fateful day. It also underlines the Widening Gulf between the two parties going into the difficult months of Budget Negotiation that lie ahead. David willis, Bbc News, los angeles.

A teenager appears in court charged with conspiracy to murder over the shooting of the black lives matter activist, Sasha Johnson. Australia� s National University In Canberra has offered to return thousands of Blood Samples taken from indigenous people over many decades. The specimens collected from 35 aboriginal communities have been held without their consent. Some indigenous groups want to donate the samples to science, but others want them back for spiritual reason. Earlier i spoke to azure her mies, from the australian National University. She said the move would advance reconciliation with indigenous communities. The National University houses a collection of 7000 aboriginal Blood Samples that were collected from those 35 different communities across australia between the 1960s in the 1990s, but predominately in the 1960s and 70s period. We are not entirely sure what consent was taken at the time but given the political climate we don� t think that consent was taken and the university is making a really big effort to go back and try to find all 7000 people to have a discussion about what is the next steps. Is it ok for us to keep the samples, should they be disposed of, and if we do can it be dOne back into canberra or should we return them to country . I have been working with the community for about three years now and eventually, i had just gOne to that community to have that discussion about having the samples and can brand what they would like to do to them. The community themselves, it is a very cultural community. They were in two minds about canberra having the samples whether they were really wondering, so many people have passed away and what that meant for them but they also recognise the value of keeping these samples as well so the community came up with the decision to not only have the samples returned but they allowed us to collect the dna first, collect the darter out of that dna before weaver turned all of the Leftover Blood and By Product so it was kind of having a best of both Worlds Solution for the community and the three millilitres of blood here is a real connection to a Person But Guide this of whether they are alive or passed away. With the community in particular they really have to think about what that meant seven m keeping three mills of blood may amend the spirit of that person had not moved onto the next world. They thought perhaps this is the reason why so many people were sick and that they were having so much bad luck in the community because they were being punished for the samples still being in In Canberra here in australia. Officials in california say the man who shot dead nine fellow employees at a Rail Yard in sanjose on wednesday had amassed an Arms Stockpile in his home which included a dozen guns, materials to make Molotov Cocktails and 22 Thousand rounds of ammunition. The attack ended when 57 year old Sam Cassidy turned his gun on himself. With indoor pools closed in the uk during much of the pandemic, swimming in rivers has become more popular , and galvanised concern about the state of the country� s waterways. With leisure activities around rivers expected to hit record levels this Bank Holiday Weekend, a Conservation Charity has launched an app to provide the uk� s only real time Water Quality Information for water sports enthusiasts. The former Lead Singer of the undertOnes, fergal sharkey, is a passionate campaigner for cleaner rivers. He blames Water Companies for the polluted state of the uk� s waterways. It is a shocking illustration of exactly we are now at the stop what you� re actually seeing, in fact, is a failure of politics, failure of regulation of the industry, and indeed, chronic and massive underinvestment by the industry in its own infrastructure. Regardless of statements made by the environment agency, the brutal truth is Water Companies have paid out almost £60 billion in dividends to their shareholders whilst filling our river is full of sewage. Are you seeing that the government has allowed them to do this, then . It� s quite clear, in my interpretation of the law, that this should only ever happen in exceptional circumstances. No One has yet explained to me how you can possibly comprehend 3. 1 million hours a year is anything remotely exceptional. I am surely asserting and comfortable an awful lot of it does not comply with the law, does not comply with what a companies permits. The example you gave of modern Sewage Treatment works, in london, last year, over 3. 5 billion litres of sewage dumped into the river. Government have simply turned the policy of the polluter pays into One of it pays to pollute. Billions of cicadas have emerged in the east of america, after spending 17 years underground. The insects spend almost their entire lifecycle below the surface, as Nada Tawfik reports. It is a Sight And Sound that will make your skin crawl. Billions of Periodical Cicadas emerging out of the earth and overtaking the eastern united states. The rare spectacle has americans in awe. It was deafening, really deafening. The grants have lived here for decades, and like clockwork, the brood ten cicadas have arrived at the same time every 17 years to mate. It can get so loud that some of theirfriends have mistaken the male insects� droning song for a police siren. Because of my hearing disadvantages, i don� t put my Hearing Aids in when i come out into the garden, otherwise i get the whole sound magnified. The Mass Emergence and its timing is all part of a clever Survival Strategy to evade predators. Then the metamorphosis from nymph to adult happens relatively quickly. So here we have a fully grown female that� s now ready to mate and lay her eggs. She� ll only live four to six weeks, though, after being underground for 17 years. This is when they are most vulnerable, right here, because their body is so soft. It� s a magical time for entomologist drjessica ware, whose16 year old daughter wasn� t even alive the last time she saw these insects. The world was a very different place back then. George bush was president , and facebook was just launched. You know, a lot of people, for centuries, have been calling these things locusts. But they� re the opposite of locusts. They� re not actually a plague, they� re not destroying crops, they� re actually living their life completely in exclusion of humans, and they� re great nutrition. Yes, you heard that right. These critters are a culinary delicacy. The cicadas are a flavour bomb. They have so much flavour, and add a sense of umame to the dish. Chefjoseph has been cooking with this Star Ingredient to encourage americans to reimagine bugs as a protein rich, sustainable food source. I think i� m ready. May i . Yes, please. Ok, i� m going to go with this One here. Bug appetit a burst of springtime in your mouth. Theres a booth for the sound and lights. For others, the noisy critters are just downright disruptive. It� s safe to say shakespeare is not in love with the cicada. This Theatre Company has had to cut its outdoor season short. The last time i directed a show out here, i sat over there with two huge Badminton Rackets and just screamed as they came at me and swatted them away. The takeover may be dramatic, but it� s temporary. Soon the larvae of the new generation will burrow their way into the ground, resetting the 17 year cycle. Nada tawfik, Bbc News, newjersey. Now it� s time for a look at the weather with louise lear. Hello there. We finally got there, it has been a miserable may, but we are closing the Bank Holiday Weekend with some dry, settled and sunny weather. I know there has been some low cloud, Mist And Fog around as depicted beautifully by these Patient Sheep in doncaster, but we are optimistic that that will break. The Morning Satellite Picture showing how extensive The Cloud was, and in some areas it was thick enough for early morning drizzle, but The Sunshine nibbling away at it quite nicely. Into the afternoon there will be more sunshine coming through, temperatures will start to climb and that may well trigger The Sunshine and the warmth in East Anglia and south east england. If you are out with friends and family this afternoon, don� t forget uv levels, the son is very strong so we are expecting it to be high fairly widely across the country. The clear skies continue, The Sunshine and the warmth continuing into the early evening, so if you are planning a barbecue, it should be fine and dry. Through the night we could see a little bit of low Cloud Rolling in of the north sea. Temperatures will hold off, ranging from 6 10 , but potentially a murky start once again along exposed coasts, but High Pressure remains with us, slowly drifting eastwards, not that much in the way of wind around on sunday, but a good deal of dry weather once again in the forecast, that sunshine will nibble away at The Cloud, a lovely afternoon in prospect for many, and again, just outside chance of an isolated shower, but you really will be unlucky if you catch One of those, temperatures perhaps up to around 22, possibly 23 degrees once again. As we move out of sunday into monday, the High Pressure continues to drift off into the north sea. The wind will pick up, but coming in off the near continent, a warmer source of air, so Bank Holiday monday could be warmer still. We could see potentially temperatures peaking at 23 or 24 celsius, and that is above average for the time of year. And it does look as though this trend will continue for the week ahead, and it is half term, just getting that little bit fresher as we go through the week, but a lot of dry weather for our first week ofjune. Hello, this is Bbc News. The headlines thousands of Manchester City and chelsea fans are in portugal where the teams meet for the Champions League final. It will mean absolutely everything. We� ve been fantastic since Sheikh Mansour purchased The Club back in 2008, we� ve won every trophy available to us apart from this One. You have to wear the mask around all the time. Its quite hot and sweaty. Its really inconvenient, and obviously on the flight as well, but its worth it. The us imposes sanctions on belarus calling the forced diversion of a Passenger Plane an affront to international norms. A teenager appears in court charged with conspiracy to murder over the shooting of the black lives matter activist, Sasha Johnson.

And, Billions Of Cicadas Emerge in the us after spending 17 years underground.
