Live uninterrupted coverage of the 37th European Cup final.
For the fifth time Wembley has the privilege of hosting the final of European football's premier competition. In 1968,
Manchester United created history there, by beating

Wembley's first final was in 1963 when AC Milan overcame
Benfica, and became the first Italian team to win the cup.
Tonight, Sampdoria will hope to become the fourth team on that roll of honour and join AC Milan, Inter Milan and Juventus. Wembley's other final in 1971 saw Ajax beat Panathinaikos.
Thenjohan Cruyff inspired the Dutch side's victory. Tonight
Cruyff hopes his Barcelona side can become the 19th different champions in the competition's illustrious history.

Continuing the investigative documentary series.
Dogs of War. A story of British mercenaries. The bloody Yugoslavian civil war has become a magnet for many men attracted to violence. "I've always wanted to kill legally.
I've always wondered what was going through the Yorkshire Ripper's mind. He had no compassion, no feeling. I want this state, it's like higher than any drug," says Dave, a British mercenary there.
The UN-sponsored cease-fire has failed to bring peace to what was Yugoslavia. Already,
10,000 lives have been lost. Bosnia-Herzegovina is descending into full-scale civil war. This film provides a close, disturbing and frank insight into the minds of a group of British mercenaries licensed to kill for another country's cause. It is the story of Kit, Carl, Dave and Andy, all members of the only English-speaking company in the Croatian Army, based in Osijek, Croatia's eastern capital, which at present is under daily artillery bombardment. Tensions are high as the men prepare for dangerous sabotage operations behind enemy lines. Kit, the chief training officer, a big, tough, Geordie ex-paratrooper and French Legionnaire, leads these operations while being paid little more than E 100 a month. Not all the mercenaries are prepared to obey orders, and some resent having non-professionals in charge.
Allowed rare access to British mercenaries at work, the film presents a powerful insight into the mercenary myth and the realities of soldiering. Producer Stephen Lambert
Executive producer Paul Hamann

Barry Norman reports from the Cannes Film Festival, the annual orgy of film watching and film hyping. "I do enjoy Cannes but, believe it or not, it's hard work," says Norman. "Last year Madonna brought back the showbiz razzmatazz.
This year - who knows? I'll be playing it on the hoof, and I hope to speak to Michael Douglas and director Robert Altman about their new films." It is easy to forget that there is a competition running alongside the festivities. A front runner for an award is Robert Altman's The Player, a wicked satire on Hollywood. Britain's hopes rest with Terence Davies 's The Long Day Closes, an autobiographical film about his Liverpool childhood, and Merchant/Ivory compete with the EM Forster classic
Howard's End. Among the famous faces expected on the Croisette are Anthony Hopkins, Alan Rickman, Melanie Griffiths, Joe Pesci and Michael Douglas, the star of Paul Verhoeven 's controversial new thriller Basic Instinct, which opens the event. Director Liz Hartford
