:05:31. > :05:32.not the European Union, for Britain's economic difficulties.
:05:33. > :05:35.This decision, whether to leave or remain, has been dominating

:06:08. > :06:10.From there, our Middle East correspondent, Quentin
:06:11. > :06:16.For Hezbollah, they are burying a hero.
:06:17. > :06:19.To gunfire, they raised Mustafa Badreddine's portrait
:06:20. > :06:38.For 30 years, he carried out attacks across the Middle East.
:06:39. > :06:41.More recently, these mourners have sent their sons and their brothers
:06:42. > :06:43.to fight in Syria to defend President Assad's regime.
:06:44. > :06:45.All of us is Mustafa Badreddine.
:06:46. > :06:50.After this funeral, the Shia Muslim Hezbollah said
:06:51. > :06:55.Mr Badreddine was killed in Damascus by Sunni jihadists.
:06:56. > :06:59.But there's no proof of any strikes there this week.

:07:01. > :07:03.say he died instead in an internal power struggle.
:07:04. > :07:09.He was certainly no ordinary jihadist.
:07:10. > :07:15.He lived, frankly, a playboy lifestyle,
:07:16. > :07:20.He entertained lots of genteel dining companions, including
:07:21. > :07:25.So, yeah, very enigmatic case and certainly not your
:07:26. > :07:32.Defending President Assad has cost Hezbollah dearly.
:07:33. > :07:37.More than 1,000 of its fighters have been killed and thousands more
:07:38. > :07:42.But with their commander gone, that fight can only get harder.
:07:43. > :07:44.Certainly, plenty of people wanted him dead.
:07:45. > :07:47.He was the prime suspect in the assassination of Rafic Hariri,
:07:48. > :07:56.Lebanon's Prime Minister and his terror credentials stretch
:07:57. > :07:59.all the way back to 1983 and the bombing of the US
:08:00. > :08:03.So perhaps it's no surprise that someone who lived so much
:08:04. > :08:06.of his life in the shadows met a murky end.
:08:07. > :08:08.We're still no closer to knowing who killed Mustafa Badreddine.

:08:58. > :08:59.With all the sport, here's Lizzie Greenwood Hughes
:09:00. > :09:09.Saracens are rugby union's Champions of Europe for the first
:09:10. > :09:12.They beat Racing 92 in the final, 21-9.
:09:13. > :09:15.The Premiership leaders are also the first English side to win
:09:16. > :09:29.Black-and-white and red all over. Saracens conquest of Europe is
:09:30. > :09:36.complete. Brutal but brilliant. The way they like it. This team was
:09:37. > :09:40.powered by hostility. Listen to the French accompanying Owen Farrell's
:09:41. > :09:44.first penalty. It had no affect. This was billed as his chance to
:09:45. > :09:51.compete against the best in the world. Racing 92 Dan Carter wasn't
:09:52. > :09:55.fully fit. Saracens weren't making him fitter. He couldn't continue by
:09:56. > :10:00.the second-half. Farrell did. He kicked the game from Racing reach.
:10:01. > :10:04.They tried to shift the momentum. They weren't going anywhere.
:10:05. > :10:09.Saracens made heavy industry work and won the game's hidden battles.
:10:10. > :10:16.Look at the reaction when they earnt this penalty. The collective effort
:10:17. > :10:20.was rewarded by an individual. 21 points scored. The European
:10:21. > :10:27.Champions Cup secured. It has been brilliant all year. To do it on the
:10:28. > :10:31.big stage is special. To do it in an occasion like this. In a stadium
:10:32. > :10:36.that was rocking today. To really put in a performance we can be proud
:10:37. > :10:41.of was fantastic. Not pretty. It has been the perfect triumph for
:10:42. > :10:46.Saracens. Nine games, nine wins, ending a run of nine years without
:10:47. > :10:51.an English winner their greatest day in perhaps their greatest season.
:10:52. > :10:54.Arsenal have won the Women's FA Cup for a 14th time.
:10:55. > :10:56.A record crowd watched them beat holders Chelsea 1-0 thanks
:10:57. > :11:00.Sara Orchard was watching at Wembley.
:11:01. > :11:03.The sun beating down on Wembley, almost as bright as the lights

:11:09. > :11:14.Only the second time that the match has been hosted here and it's
:11:15. > :11:20.Add to that, these are two of the most established women's
:11:21. > :11:22.teams in the country and yet Arsenal and Chelsea have never
:11:23. > :11:29.The Blues were favourites, unbeaten this season
:11:30. > :11:34.But with the pressure off, it was Arsenal and England's
:11:35. > :11:46.who used her right boot to put the North Londoners ahead.
:11:47. > :11:53.Fran Kirby with Chelsea's best chance of the first half.
:11:54. > :11:55.Chelsea's chances were fleeting, Ji So-Yun sending this
:11:56. > :11:59.But, in the end, the clock beat the Blues and Arsenal ladies
:12:00. > :12:15.It was an unreal experience and one I will cherish for all my life.
:12:16. > :12:20.Lewis Hamilton looks back to his best, taking pole
:12:21. > :12:23.The reigning World Champion sensationally beat his Mercedes
:12:24. > :12:27.team mate, Nico Rosberg, into second place.
:12:28. > :12:29.Teenage debutante, Max Verstappen, was also impressive in Barcelona,
:12:30. > :12:32.qualifying fourth fastest for Red Bull.
:12:33. > :12:35.Andy Murray is through to his first Italian Open final.
:12:36. > :12:39.The Briton is yet to drop a set in Rome and eased past the unseeded

:13:26. > :13:28.Acts from 26 countries took part and the UK's entry 'You're Not
:13:29. > :13:32.This year there was a twist -- voting has been changed to spare any
:13:33. > :13:34.acts ending up with the infamous 'nul points'.
:13:35. > :13:39.Nick Higham's report contains flashing images from the start.
:13:40. > :13:50.There are flashing images from the start. Eurovision where no song is
:13:51. > :13:59.complete without a catsuit and golden rain. The costumes are often
:14:00. > :14:08.more interesting thanlet songs. Where Poland won the award for Best
:14:09. > :14:14.Hair. Where Australia is part of Europe. Don't ask! Graham Norton's
:14:15. > :14:18.Chenary spares no-one. Forgive me, ladies and gentlemen, maybe I'm just
:14:19. > :14:21.old and grumpy. There isn't a single thing about this woman that doesn't
:14:22. > :14:32.annoy me. # This is the ghost of you... #
:14:33. > :14:35.You can see what he meant! Host Sweden fielded local hero, just 17,
:14:36. > :14:50.he wrote the song himself. Russia was the bookies favourite.
:14:51. > :14:58.Not so much for the song, but for the staging. The entry from Ukraine
:14:59. > :15:03.about ethnic cleansing in the Crimea ya under Stalin added a significant
:15:04. > :15:07.political sub text. Europe, start voting now. Then, after two hours
:15:08. > :15:16.and a reported four million tweets, it was time to vote. Britain's Joe
:15:17. > :15:23.and Jake got the thum up from the Maltese jury. The phone votes were
:15:24. > :15:27.counted. Poland went from near zero to hero. Ukraine over took
:15:28. > :15:36.Australia. That left Russia's popular vote to be counted. Where
:15:37. > :15:42.will he come now? In third place. It's Ukraine! Not for the first time
:15:43. > :15:48.at Eurovision politics and popular culture met. Indeed. Well, you can
:15:49. > :15:51.see more on all of today's stories on the BBC News Channel. That is all
:15:52. > :16:02.from me and the team here. A very good night to you. Bye, bye.
:16:03. > :16:12.Good evening. Well we didn't win Eurovision - AGAIN. Tomorrow will be
:16:13. > :16:13.a nice day. Today was a nice day if you could get out of the breeze
