Tai pääsit sittenki matikasta läpi. Tai ehkä et. Mutta tärkeintä on, että yritit. Onnea kaikille ja ihanaa kesää! Heille, jotka ansaitsevat kultaa. Kulta Katriina.
Eläköön suomalainen kahvikulttuuri. Kappas, täällähän onkin vanhoja jätskituttuja. Ei olla vanhoja tuttuja. Me ollaan uutuusjätskejä. No siinä tapauksessa, hauska tuuttistua. Mistä ste tuutte? No tötteröö. Tietysti S-Marketista. Elämä on ruokaa. S-Market.
This is a Global News Podcast from the BBC World Service. And in the early hours of Sunday, the 31st of May, these are our main stories. Hundreds are detained in Paris as football fans go on the rampage after PSG's win in the European Champions League final. Health officials are on alert in Brazil after a man returned from the DRC with suspected Ebola symptoms.
And polls will open in a few hours in Colombia in the first round of the presidential elections. Also in this podcast. We realize that if we abandon these people, no one else will drive them. We work like rats in a cage. We get attacked from every side, but we keep driving. We have a special report on how public transport in Ukraine has been under relentless attack from Russian drones.
We begin in Paris. where hundreds of people have been arrested after violence broke out during the celebrations of Paris Saint-Germain winning the Champions League. The match took place 1,000 kilometres away in Budapest, and we'll come to that in just a moment. But first, here's an update on the violence in the City of Lights by our reporter, Will Chalk.
Well, Anca, we know that they detained more than 280 people in Paris out of 416 people who were detained across France. Now, out of that number, we don't know how many are going to face further action. But we have been told that seven police officers have been wounded, six vehicles have been damaged, some businesses as well.
In the newsroom here in London, we've been watching footage come in throughout the night from Paris. You've seen police with riot shields chasing people, projectiles being thrown, batons being used, flares being set off. And of course, this is just the beginning of the celebrations as well.
The PSG players are supposed to take part in a parade, supposed to lift the trophy outside the front of the Eiffel Tower. And 100,000 people are expected to show up for that. Okay, and of course there was violence last year when Paris Saint-Germain won the Champions League for the very first time. Yeah, and similar scenes. We saw two people actually lost their lives last year.
But again, we saw shops smashed up, hundreds of arrests. And police were obviously aware of this happening last year. And they made extra deployments this year. 22,000 police were deployed across France for this year's game. That includes 8,000 in Paris. Tram lines were halted. Metro stations were shut. So obviously an attempt to avoid a repeat of what happened last year.

Chapter 2: What happened in Paris after PSG won the Champions League?
One man with more mixed emotions was our correspondent in Paris, Pierre-Antoine Denis, who I spoke to shortly after the match had finished. I am an Arsenal fan first and foremost, but I am also French. And I've been cheering for Paris Saint-Germain every time they play in Europe. So it was very conflicted for the final.
On a purely career level now, because I'm in Paris, I'm very delighted Paris won. Okay. Diplomacy detente. Perfect.
Chapter 3: What are the health concerns regarding the suspected Ebola case in Brazil?
Exactly. So what was the atmosphere like tonight then over there? I'm standing here on one of the avenues, the main avenues of Paris, one of the Grand Boulevard, as we call it. It leads to the Republic Square. And these streets, these huge avenues have been filled with people for hours after the game ended. Now, only now, cows are able to go back.
But obviously, it's been really pandemonium for several hours before.
Chapter 4: What is the political situation in Colombia ahead of the presidential elections?
after the game with really people lining up the streets, chanting, hugging each other, telling me how happy they were because it really is a milestone for Paris Saint-Germain tonight, obviously, to have won it back-to-back and really making history here. How will this feel for Paris Saint-Germain fans? They've always been the bridesmaid, never the bride.
They had the era of all the superstars and they had that remontada, of course, famously when they lost to Barcelona. But now, under Luis Enrique, they've found a strength to go back-to-back, as they've been talking about. Quite incroyable, as they've been saying in the French media.
Where does this rank in terms of the achievements of a French football team against some of Europe's most elite teams? This makes Paris and the PSG here standing on its own above the rest. Because as you said, always the bridesmaid is never the bride. In 1993, Marseille won this very Champions League. And ever since, up until last year, Marseille was a big rival of Paris.
We always say to Paris and to PSG, look, we've won it. You've never done that. Now, obviously, since last year, Paris can say we've done it as well. And now from tonight onwards, I guess Parisians will be able to say we've won it twice. You haven't done that. So tonight will obviously rank as probably the greatest night to date for Paris Saint-Germain. Pierre-Antoine Denis reporting from Paris.
The Bundibugio strain of Ebola has already infected 1,000 people and killed more than 200 others. Now, the first suspected case of Ebola outside of Africa during this latest outbreak has been reported in Brazil. A man in his 30s who may have contracted the virus during a trip to the Democratic Republic of Congo is being monitored in a Sao Paulo hospital. The BBC's Marina Rossi is in the city.
You don't have a lot of information about him. It's just he's a 37-year-old man from the Democratic Republic of the Congo. And he developed symptoms including fever and just meeting the criteria for a suspected case. And the authorities just say that the risk of Ebola reaching Brazil remains very low and not in no recorded cases in the country to date.
And even given the low risk, health services are advised to remain alert to individuals with fever and a recent travel story. So, within the past 21 days, two areas where the virus is circulating. It's just the information that we receive.
Well, the World Health Organization's Director General, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, is in Bunia in Congo, at the heart of the Ebola outbreak.
I came because the people of Italy, the Kivus, and all of DRC deserve to know that they're not... As we know, DRC has faced Ebola before 16 times and has ended every outbreak and this is the 17th. That history gives me real confidence.

Chapter 5: Who was Marsha Lucas and what was her impact on the Star Wars franchise?
The candidate who's supported by the government, his left-wing presidential candidate, Ivan Zepeda, he's a former human rights lawyer, and he has been supporting a continuation of the left-wing policies of the current government, while the hard right-wing candidate, Abelardo de la Espriella is a criminal defence lawyer who's known as a flamboyant presence in social media.
He flaunts his wealth, he goes around in private jets and he has said he's going to take a very strong security stance against left-wing rebels and other illegal armed groups in the country.
When it comes to trying to tackle the surge in violence in the country, how do the candidates propose to do this? There's also the backdrop of economic uncertainty and drug trafficking too.
Certainly, again, very, very different proposals being presented to Colombians. From the hard right wing, Abelardo de las Preyas says he's going to follow policies similar to those of Donald Trump and other right wing leaders who have reached power in Latin America. While from the left wing, Iván Cepeda says he wants to continue with government interventionist policies of the current government.
Again, security is going to be a crucial issue. Cepeda, the left-wing candidate, says he wants to continue peace negotiations that so far have been unsuccessful. While again, Abelardo de la Esprella presents himself as the law and order candidate.
And Luis, finally, just how important is this election for the region as well? How pivotal is it?
It's important because many countries in the region have turned to the hard right. Probably the two big exceptions are precisely the two largest countries in Latin America, Brazil and Mexico, which have left-wing presidents right now. But the Colombian election, if de la Espriella was to advance, would be a continuation of this.
And it is seen as an important indicator of what could happen in the larger election week, which is coming up in Brazil later this year. Well, also, again, a very strong dispute between the left and the right.
Luis Fajardo from BBC Monitoring. For 18 years, a group of volunteers here in the UK have given up their time to teach fly fishing to people with breast cancer. The charity Fishing for Life aims to help with both physical and mental well-being. Jane McGubbin has been to one of their riverside branches in south-west England.

Chapter 6: What new species of fungus has been discovered in the UK and why is it important?
Like when you go in the supermarket and you hear that doo-doo all the time. It reminds you of a hospital, the equipment that they have in hospitals. Those sounds take you back, but you don't get that here. They invited us here to see the power of this place, to let troubles wash away. So let's lift up. Cast out. I get peace and separation from all the doctor's appointments. You just lift.
You just want it to go on forever. 18 years ago, Gillian Payne set up Fishing for Life to teach fly fishing to people with breast cancer. Andrew represents the less than 1% of sufferers who are men who was diagnosed a year ago. You can see the difference in him. Oh yeah, yeah. He's totally different now. He wouldn't talk, he'd be sat in a chair, there's no point carrying on.
Put it through your fingers like we did last time.
I can see he's not thinking about anything else. I think Gillian just wanted to give back, and it's amazing. I mean, she provides all the lunches. The world needs more Gillian. They do. Today there are ten Fishing for Life groups all over the country, free for anyone with breast cancer.
That's the first dropper. Heather is one of the volunteer coaches.
Because you are going to.
Well, I'm going to do my very best. Heather was a volunteer for almost a decade before she got her own diagnosis. I phoned Gillian and said, I've become one of the girls. If I can help anyone to catch some fish, that would be great. Enjoying the sunshine in the fresh air, moving their shoulders wherever they've had breast cancer to help the lymphatic, help the muscles get better after surgery.
Hundreds have helped here and have been helped.
Finding peace and hope from the steady concentration of casting a line.
