‘ about him compared to their first bout in new york in june him compared to their first bout in new york injune when he looked like a man without a care in the world. they had a public work—out here in this financial district, joshua found himself having to go first being the challenger and seven champion. he did not really engage with the crowd whilst he was in the ring. he posed for pictures afterwards. after the work—out he stayed for quite a bit to take selfies and sign autographs and long enough for tempted to come into the ring to go through his work—out. just before he left the plaza he looked almost lost in thought. if they were making a movie about the rematch than that look would be in the script because you just sense how important the fight was. whether you call it fear, nerves or focus, there was definitely something about

him. as for ruiz he also took a lot of pictures with the crowd. i caught up of pictures with the crowd. i caught up with them afterwards and said how do you feel about being the underdog once again. he says he is as confident as he was the first time around and believes that he can shock the world again. they will meet at the press conference tomorrow, the build—up to the fight has been quite mild mannered and respectful. you wonder whether either will try to crank things up. the sense i got today from joshua in particular was that this means a lot and it is a fight that he cannot afford to lose. now, you may remember him as the keeper who made more than 200 appearances for wolves, but carl ikeme has another story. he's now in full remission after battling accute leukaemia. after retiring from the game last year, hes written a book called "why not me" about the dificult process of giving up the game and going through chemotherapy

while with a young family. he spoke to me earlier. it is something nothing can prepare you for in life. it was devastating. i thought my time was over. i did not think i had a chance of living. and that worse was to come because i did not know how to tell my partner who was heavily pregnant. i knew i had to relay the message to her which also broke her heart really. and i just sort of watched her go through that emotion and having to tell my mum and dad that i had cancer as well was something i never thought i would have to say to them. you go into detail about a lot of the treatment and how traumatic it is physically on your body. also how
6:48 pm
traumatic it was for your family to listen to. i had sepsis one evening after coming back and my temperature started to rise and ended up in hospital. they were doing all kinds of tests and the one test was a camera down my throat and i did not realise that debra was outside and i got wheeled out and obviously i was a mess, i hadn't eaten forfour or five days and i was just thinking i hope you did not her —— you did not hear what went on in there. and i had lost my sight and could not see herface had lost my sight and could not see her face unless it was really close to me. there were moments when you think it could not get any worse and thenit think it could not get any worse and then it kind of did. in terms of my health and there were tough moments because i had no answers to whether
6:49 pm
my site would come back or not. eventually i did get the news it would come back but it was just the not knowing. and for me personally i thought i may not be able to see my kids properly again and that was another tough period in the 12 months that i thought it was important to tell. you had so much support from wolves the course, but also from the goalkeepers union. how much did that help you? it was amazing, wolves are a special club and always have been special to me. i've always been very close with wolverhampton, i've been out since i was 14. it meant so much to me all the support i got from wolves and from other goalkeepers as well. they really knew me and they were sending me messages of support and love. it
6:50 pm
is just humbling for me. me messages of support and love. it isjust humbling for me. thank you very much. the european short course swimming championships begin in glasgow tomorrow and with olympic champion adam peaty skipping the event his breaststroke rival james wilby has the chance to take centre stage. the 26—year—old missed rio 2016 after suffering glandular fever but last year won commonwealth 200m gold and he then claimed world 100m silver behind peaty this summer. bbc olympic sports reporter nick hope has the story. james wilby has always dreamt about winning major medals but three years ago that looked like that would remain a fantasy after being diagnosed with glandularfever, missing the olympics and finding himself in hospital. it was really rough and my throat was a right mess. my daily routine was get up about one in the afternoon, eat a bowl of cereal, as mushy as possible, relax a little bit and just tryjust normal things, watch tv or whatever,
6:51 pm
and then i would be absolutely knackered by about eight o'clock in the evening. go back to bed and then repeat the whole thing again. that was a pretty grim time and i honestly do not think i would be here right now had i not had that drive and that determination. his progress since then has been astounding. he has won 2000m commonwealth gold as well as european and world 100 metres silver medals behind adam peaty. but it was his supportive role in the british relay chairmanships heats which actually received the greatest attention. fast forward to the presentation and i do not know how the idea came about but basically it was like try to get on the cameras, i knew my mum was watching so i wrote the message, i just won the heats. that is how that photo that has now been circulated a couple of times just appeared but even though it is the heats it is still a result i was happy to contribute towards. as a breast stroke specialist james wilby knows the comparisons with peaty are inevitable but it is not
6:52 pm
something that fazes him, he believes he can push the world record holder all the way to tokyo 2020 and crucially carve his own mark along the way. we chat and get along and it is really good to have that good bit of competition every now and again. then when we go head—to—head there is always a bit of, you know, a bit of a race off but other than that it is really good spirited — at the end of the day we are both pushing each other on. i always wanted to win international medals and i want to be the best i can be and have that gb flag on that number one spot. nick hope reporting there. and you'll be able to follow james wilby as well as the rest of the british team at the european short course championships in glasgow from tomorrow through to sunday with live coverage of the finals each day via the bbc iplayer, connected tvs and the bbc sport app. that's all from sportsday. we'll have more throughout the evening.

some breaking news, this is a statement from one of the people who was injured in the attack last friday. at fishmongers' hall. just adjacent to london bridge. you may recall the attacker usman khan was inside the hall and was chased out of the building and then shot dead by police this is a statement from one of those injured, he gave a graphic account of the role of different people, we had about different people, we had about different people, we had about different people who tried to disarm
6:54 pm
usman khan. lucasz was a portion without any said on friday afternoon when the tragic attack happened i tried to stop a man attacking people inside the building. he heard someone screaming and he ran up the stairs and came into the room by which point usman khan i think had already stabbed the people who died and that he says, i tried to stop a man from attacking people inside the building. i did this using a poll but i found and someone else was using a narwhal tusk. they tried to go for usman khan between them. he saidi go for usman khan between them. he said i stopped at the bollards at the bridge, i had been stabbed. he was later taken to hospital to be treated. he says when the attack happened he acted instinctively and now is trying to come to terms with the incident. i would like to express my condolences to the families who lost precious loved

ones, he has said and send my best wishes to them and everyone affected by this sad and pointless attack. tha nkfully by this sad and pointless attack. thankfully he is now making a full recovery. every year uk consumers buy billions of plastic bottles, cans and takeaway coffee cups, yet the many city centres don't offer any street recycling facilities. could "smiley" brightly coloured bins which use local accents be the answer? they think so in leeds — where a year—long project is being hailed as a big success. olivia richwald reports. we are consuming more on the go food and drink than ever before. 13 billion plastic bottles and 3 billion coffee cups in the uk every year. it is a mountain of waste that in most cases is incinerated or sent
6:56 pm
to landfill because there isn't city centre recycling. leeds by example tried to change that. before this project started, there was no on street recycling in leeds and that goes for the majority of the local authorities. now there are orange bins for empty coffee cups, yellow bins for cans and plastic bottles and the black bin for everything else. we have looked and spent time observing people using bins, a fun activity, and found that people spent under two seconds so they aren't going to read a long list of dos and don'ts so we are going to make it really straightforward and simple as to what can be collected. the trial also decorated the bins with yorkshire dialect which proved popular on social media and cafe and workplaces in the city centre offered coffee cup recycling. but did it work? over the course of a year, 1.2 million coffee cups were collected and processed and 300,000 plastic bottles and cans were captured but more education is needed because audits reveal that 80% of cans and plastic were still thrown in black bins even with recycling options nearby.
6:57 pm
we have had some success. we think it might take a few more years to really see the behaviour start to set in. we have 1.2 million people using the city centre per week. that is a lot of people, a lot of people from out of leeds who are getting used to this new system. one of the biggest problems with this project has been contamination. this is coming up to christmas, it is cava and it is actually full. elaine was in charge of monitoring how much extra rubbish was thrown in recycling bins. there's paper, food waste, a pair of pants, it is horrible. but are these types typical? they were much worse. now i think the contamination is reducing, it is becoming habitual. people are using them regularly. the trial in leeds has now finished but the council will continue running the scheme and it has also been rolled out in swansea and edinburgh. it is hoped that time and awareness will one day make recycling on the go as commonplace

as the morning cuppa. now it's time for a look at the weather with stav danaos. with high pressure and tending to hold on for at least one more day it seems things will be fine and settled certainly for england and wales. we have a weather front encroaching across parts of northern ireland and western scotland through the night. not quite as cold here is what it will be across parts of england and wales under those clear skies. some frost and fog to greet us skies. some frost and fog to greet us for wednesday morning. otherwise a largely dry day with some sunshine. weatherfronts a largely dry day with some sunshine. weather fronts in a largely dry day with some sunshine. weatherfronts in the north—west continue to move south east bringing some showers. behind that brightening up with sunshine
