eve i’ m ever seen one winner 50 ever seen one winner so when max verstappen started from poll on sunday, most fans were expecting another routine victory for the three—time world champion. but this race turned on its head. 29 laps in when kevin magnussen and logan sargeant came together causing the safety car, allowing lando norris to capitalise. and thanks to a clean restart, norris now only had one focus, keep verstappen at bay. no simple task up against the man who has dominated formula 1 over the past few years. but this was norris's day, driving with a combination of pace and panache to cross the line for his first race win. �* , , ., ., , ~ cross the line for his first race win. , ._ ~ ., cross the line for his first race win. , ~ .,., win. i'm 'ust proud really. a lot of --eole i win. i'mjust proud really. a lot of peeple i guess — win. i'mjust proud really. a lot of people i guess doubted _ win. i'mjust proud really. a lot of people i guess doubted me - win. i'mjust proud really. a lot of people i guess doubted me along |

tens each lap which is amazing. if they can keep that going, there will be another upgrade to go this season and outfox a red ball at their own game, they can definitely bring that challenge to the team. lots of silverware being decided in european football over the weekend, with real madrid winning la liga and sporting being crowned portuguese champions without kicking a ball. defending champions and rivals benfica had to beat famalicao but were beaten 2—0, and sporting were ready to celebrate with an open top bus parade through downtown lisbon. it's their first title in three years. the final of the world snooker championship resumes in just over an hour, with kyren wilson looking to force home his advantage to take a maiden title in sheffield. he leads qualifierjakjones by 11 frames to 6, having raced into a six—frame lead in sunday's afternoon session. welshmanjones managed to reduce the deficit but wilson clinched a crucial 17th frame on the black. first to 18 wins. another maiden victory to tell you about. this time in texas where canadian taylor pendrith said it was unreal after claiming his first

win on the pga tour. he led by a shot on the 16th but trailed by one going down the last at the cj cup. but when ben kohles bogeyed the 18th, it left pendrith with a three foot birdie putt to become the sixth first—time winner on the pga tour this year. when he misses palm part and i had a putt for their win, it was all of a blurb at i have never had a putt to win a pga tour event. this is the straightest putt we have had all year and just knock it in and it managed to slip in the left edge, so i am pretty happy. cleveland cavaliers overcame the largest game 7 deficit in the playoff era to advance to the nba conference semifinals at the expense of orlando magic. trailing by 18, donovan mitchell's 39 points propelled the cavs into the second round, where they'll meet boston. mitchell added to the 50—point haul he returned when the cav lost in game 6 too.

this was great because we were able to learn a lot about ourselves. i will never shy away from that but we can be better. i hate to be that guy, but this was great, this was phenomenal, a great win, great series, great test for us mentally but we can and will have to be better to beat boston because they have a lot of great guys. i feel like this was just big for us as a group but we don't have time to celebrate. i have to be honest with you. back to motorsport, where there have been 2,762 nascar races down the years. none saw a finish as close as the one we witnessed at the kansas speedway. kyle larson, in the blue car, came around the outside of chris buescher, exchanged some paint along the way and crossed the line right about here to win officially by one thousandth of a second.

this after 267 laps of racing in the cup series. it gives larson his second win of the season. "wild" was how he described it. want to know how tight it was? that tight. and stage 3 of the giro d'italia is just getting under way too. more on the website but from me and the team, thanks for watching. the latest figures for england and wales show that 2117 people lost their lives as a result of knife crime betweenjuly 2022 and june 2023. mikey roynon was just 16 when he was stabbed to death in somerset last year. our correspondent, danjohnson, has been following the case and sent this report. the 10th ofjune last summer, and teenagers are heading to a birthday party in bath that's been advertised on snapchat. this is mikey travelling from the edge of bristol with some friends. he was about to come across this group of teenagers from wiltshire heading to the same party.

this is the ambulance service. is the patient breathing? he's been stabbed at a house party. police. there was a violent confrontation, and mikey was stabbed in the neck. it was shane cunningham who stabbed mikey, he claimed in self—defence, but he was convicted of murder. cartel bushnell and leo knight were given nine years for manslaughter for encouraging and supporting the attack. was it you that stabbed him in the neck? shane cunningham didn't give any answers in custody or in court, so we may never know what sparked the confrontation. thejudge passed a life sentence and said he must serve at least 16 years. bristol and its surrounding areas are in the middle of a plague of knife crime. the plague has continued since this trial finished. the lives of young boys who carry knives continue to be taken at the hands of other boys

who carry knives. this family's campaigning now to highlight knife crime and how many children are armed and prepared to take lives. danjohnson, bbc news, at bristol crown court. rail passengers are facing widespread disruption this week as train workers begin a fresh round of industrial action. members of the aslef union start a six—day overtime ban today, which is expected to cause widespread disruption. a series of one—day strikes are also being staged at 16 rail companies throughout the week as part of a long—running dispute over pay. our business correspondent, marc ashdown explains. it's going to be another frustrating week for rail passengers. drivers say working overtime is crucial to keep the network moving, so a six—day ban is likely to cause widespread delays and cancellations. on top of that, they're staging a series of one—day walk—outs from tomorrow. services on lines mainly

in and around london in the south east will be the first to be affected. then on wednesday, six lines which serve the midlands, west of england and wales will be impacted. and on thursday, drivers in the north of england and on some services running into scotland will walk out. this dispute over pay has been rumbling on sincejuly 2022, and the last formal talks were held more than a year ago. the rail delivery group, which represents the 16 train companies involved, tabled an offer of a li% pay rise for two consecutive years, but said ways of working also needed to change. aslef dismissed the offer as risible. last week, the rdg reached out to the union to try to find what it called common ground in order to get back round the negotiating table. aslef leaders said they were open to the possibility of fresh talks. so there is a glimmer of hope for a resolution, but another week of travel misery looms for passengers. marc ashdown, bbc news.

just before we go, let's show you some live pictures from an event happening at the top of the hour. royal gun salutes were due to be fired in london, and at other locations across the uk, to mark the first anniversary of king charles' coronation. these are pictures from green park where that is about to take place. we'll bring you those events live as they happen. now it's time for a look at the weather with sarah keith—lucas. hello there. we're set to see a bit of a mix of weather types through the bank holiday monday. we have got some warm sunshine out there for some of us, but in other areas, some pretty heavy downpours and more persistent rain around, particularly across the southeast of england and southeast scotland as well. close to areas of low pressure that are still driving our weather at the moment, this low pressure towards the south will slowly ease away through the day, and higher pressure is going to build in as we head through the rest of the week. but back to today, then, for the rest of monday we've
11:55 am
got that rain sitting across the southeast of england, fairly patchy in nature, but a few heavy spells. there could be the odd thunderstorm. it's fairly cloudy here. there'll be more sunshine through parts of devon and cornwall, into wales, through the midlands as well. so sunny spells but also a peppering of showers, if you do catch one it could be heavy and thundery some of the warmest spots, for instance, up to about 19 degrees. but we're typically looking at the mid to high teens for northern ireland and northern and western scotland, a fair amount of dry weather on the cards, some sunshine, a bit more cloud working into the north here. but for central and south east scotland, you're going to keep the cloud. the rain will be easing out through the day. and into the evening hours, most of us lose the showery rain. it'll slowly clear away from the southeast, but mayjust linger for the likes of kent, for instance, to start your tuesday morning. and there'll be some low clouds, some mist and some fog patches, especially for scotland where we've got that wet ground. eastern england for instance as well, a few fog patches towards the southwest, but it should brighten up through the day tomorrow. so some sunny spells for many of us. still some showers bubbling up through the day, but they won't be as heavy or as frequent
11:56 am
as the showers we've got out there today. top temperatures probably a degree or so warmer, 19, 20 degrees for some of us. but if you are stuck under the cloud across parts of scotland, for instance, about 13 for aberdeen. now, into wednesday, high pressure is building in. so it's squeezing away most of the showers. a lot of dry weather for england and wales, can't rule out the odd showery spell, but for most places a much drier spell of weather. a bit more cloud working in from the north west ahead of this area of rain. but top temperatures quite widely around 19 or 20 degrees. and then high pressure stays with us towards the end of the week. it's just sitting towards the south. so we'll start to see a few weather fronts toppling around the northern end of that high pressure. at times that'll bring a little bit of showery rain to parts of scotland, northern ireland too. but for most of us things are looking much drier through the week ahead and it'll be warming up. we could see those temperatures in the mid 20s by next weekend. bye— bye.
