be across east tonight likely to be across east anglia, where we will have clearer skies for longer. even here, it will cloud over. tomorrow, high pressure to the south—west of the uk. this is the wind flow around it, a long sea track coming across the atlantic, picking up the moisture, the cloud, and with that weather front in the picture as well, we have rain and drizzle, wetter weather to start their day in some areas on tuesday, most of which will pull away but still some dampness, particularly in the hills, but we could see brighter skies and may some sunshine in parts of wales and the west country, and may be parts of scotland. under cloud, temperature struggling to 18 or19 cloud, temperature struggling to 18 or 19 celsius. similarfor wednesday, many places dry, not much sunshine, and still quite cool. the breeze does tend to ease a little, and by the time we get to thursday, instead of high pressure in the south—west, we have weather fronts coming in from the atlantic, meaning

more cloud and patchy rain running east across southern england, wales, the midlands, towards east anglia. not much rain for the north, drier and may be brighter, still could be some patchy rain in northern parts of scotland, and still only 17—20 c. could be worse, but it could be an awful lot better. a reminder of our top story... there have been chaotic scenes at kabul airport as afghans try to flee the taliban who have taken control right across the country. that is all from the bbc news at six. we now join the bbc news team where you are. hello there. i'm olly foster. it is

a nailbiter at lord's, as england look to save the second test. is this the end of an era? at the age of 40, can federer return to the top after his latest knee operation? tom daley�*s also considering his future, but what an inspiration he has been so far. any young kids out there that feel like they're never going to achieve anything just because of who they are, they know that, with hard work, you can achieve anything, no matter who you are, where you come from. hello there. welcome along. what a brilliant's days _ hello there. welcome along. what a brilliant's days cricket _ hello there. welcome along. what a brilliant's days cricket we _ hello there. welcome along. what a brilliant's days cricket we have - brilliant's days cricket we have had, and they are still going at lord's, just. england's hopes of victory were ended pretty quickly with some brilliant batting from india. it is the taurus now pushing for the

win. let's head to lords and speak to our sports correspondentjoe wilson. i think there's been another roar of another wicket, just one more required for india. they have been brilliant. what's the latest? absolutely, if you're a big noise behind me, any second now, it is probably going to be the indian fans celebrate in victory, because the indian spectators have come to this ground, particularly today and yesterday, making for a great atmosphere. i think for some indian players it will have felt like a home game. while we were waiting possibly for that last wicket to fall, i think we should run through a kind of brief summary of what has happened today for sober member england came to lord's this morning thinking they could establish a winning position, wanted to take quick wickets to dismiss indian their second innings. what we saw was some real tail and heroics from mohammed shami in particular and from bumrah. mohammed shami in

the end getting 250. the right —— directly into the lunch period to feel accountable to declare for some the chances then of england winning the chances then of england winning the match were basically gone, but what happen when they came out to bat? they lost wickets right from the word go, both their opening batters, rory burns and dom sibley, dismissed for a duck. both opening batsman effort zero in a home test, is the first time that has happened. there are a few unwanted records for england during this test match. but defiance for england, as you would expect, came from captainjoe root, who got to 33 when he was dismissed, virat kohli taking that catch. we did have a decent partnership between jos buttler and did have a decent partnership betweenjos buttler and ollie robinson, lots of aggressive towards

ollie robinson in particular, but about 20 minutes ago ollie robinson came the eighth wicket to fall, leaving india about half an hour to take the final two wickets, and if i just look over my shoulder, towards the big screen, and train my ears to what is going on inside lord's, the big screen, and train my ears to what is going on inside lords, i think i'm on to tell you the tenth wicket has been taken, the players are shaking hands, india are so the rating victory in this test match stop what you are spot on, you predicted it. == stop what you are spot on, you predicted it— predicted it. -- there was that roar. in predicted it. -- there was that man in the — predicted it. -- there was that roar. in the taking _ predicted it. -- there was that roar. in the taking a _ predicted it. -- there was that roar. in the taking a lead - predicted it. -- there was that roar. in the taking a lead in i predicted it. -- there was that l roar. in the taking a lead in the first one was drawn, the rain scuppered india there. —— india taking the first one. they head onto headingley next with their tails up. they head onto headingley next with their tails up— their tails up. definitely, i was thinkin: their tails up. definitely, i was thinking earlier— their tails up. definitely, i was thinking earlier of _ their tails up. definitely, i was thinking earlier of a _ their tails up. definitely, i was thinking earlier of a word - their tails up. definitely, i was thinking earlier of a word to i their tails up. definitely, i was . thinking earlier of a word to really sum up the indian dynamic amongst disc above players, and ethic it has to be resilience. because if using a

long time ago, about 11am, but really it was included with the upper hand. a member they had a lead after the first innings, and then they got the pant out earlier. for them to then... you know, the kind of in—your—face crickets would normally associate here with the australian touring teams, they bring that african very much to india. and, look, for them to have run through england's team in two sessions here on the final day to win, that is famous stuff. how england comeback from this, i really not for semifinal thought — if we are really honest, who are the england players who would get into the india team? joe root, anderson? any others?

michael vaughan very critical ofjoe roofs michael vaughan very critical ofjoe root�*s tactics in the field. joe wilson, live from lord's, india winning that second test to take a lead in the series. we've got the last few matches this week before the hundred comes to a close. southern brave women were already sure of a place in saturday's final, the oval invincibles guaranteed a spot in friday's eliminator, so not an awful lot riding on the game. brave kept up their good form. he won it. —— they won it. sophia dunkley scored an unbeaten 58. lost their last 1a wickets as the clubs for just 85 their last 1a wickets as the clubs forjust 85 all their last 1a wickets as the clubs for just 85 all out. they're going to have to up their game in that eliminator. you will have seen in the news how the taliban regime have re—gained control in afghanistan. before they were overthrown 20 years ago, the islamist group restricted the freedoms of afghan women,

denying them education and also banning them from playing sport. i've spoken to khalida popal, who helped found the afghan women's league and also captained her country. now living in denmark, she says she fears for the future of women's sport and also the safety of players and athletes still in afghanistan. it is so heavy. i have been unable to sleep and i have been crying, feeling helpless. when i receive messages and voice messages from the players from afghanistan, crying and saying that, we are abandoned and we are just stuck at home, where we are not able to get out, we are too afraid, all the things, all the dreamsjust gone, it'sjust afraid, all the things, all the dreams just gone, it's just like a nightmare. all i have been saying to my girls in afghanistan, the women

who have been part of the programme, ijust who have been part of the programme, i just kept writing who have been part of the programme, ijust kept writing them and just say, please take out your photos from social media, please close under social media, to have some sort of safety, because your identity, they will not find you. i have taken down the national team account, the twitter account, we have taken down all the accounts, just to make sure they are protected and their information is not out. that's what we have been doing the past two days. and this is very sad, because what we are... we did everything possible to be there, and now we are going against what we said. we did everything, like myself, to encourage women and girls to stand up, to stand, to be loud, to stand up, to stand, to be loud, to be bold, now i'm trying to tell them, take your photos down the shutdown your computers, shut down your social medias, try to shut down

your social medias, try to shut down your voices. and that is so much pain, because it wasjust your voices. and that is so much pain, because it was just nothing. all the lives of those people who went in our country, all the soldiers who went to our country and died in war, and the people in the country did everything possible. their life and time has been wasted. khalida, i can see how it upsetting this is for you for some the priority is the safety and well—being of your friends and female sportspeople within afghanistan at the moment, but going forward, do you call on people like fifa, like the international olympic committee, these international bodies, to see if they can help in some way?— some way? yes, i have sent yesterday, _ some way? yes, i have sent yesterday, and _ some way? yes, i have sent yesterday, and active - some way? yes, i have sent yesterday, and active on - some way? yes, i have sent i yesterday, and active on social media, i have been calling people, i've been calling internationals, i have been calling people,

individuals, to raise their voices and ask questions. push people to take responsibility of protecting those lives, those people who trusted those big promises. you cannotjust promise and just leave cannot just promise and just leave the cannotjust promise and just leave the country and think only about national interests and our people will so what about those people who trusted you, you promised. it was a big promise. whati trusted you, you promised. it was a big promise. what i want from people outside afghanistan, sports organisations like fifa, like the olympic committee, help us protect those women, their identities are exposed, their identities are out there, people know them. we can shutdown your social media, but we cannot shut down the people's memory

who know them. help us get people, keep our players safe. khalida popal speaking to me earlier. today, afghanistan withdrew from next week's paralympics in tokyo. they were due to be represented by two taekwondo players, with zakia khudadadi set to become the first afghan woman to take part in the paralympics. because of the chaos at kabul airport, they are unable to travel. the shift omission has been speaking to laura scott. u nfortu nately, unfortunately, i have not been in contact with them because the power cuts in couple, lack of a connection... —— in kabul. whati can imagine, it is devastating for both of them, because they were training in the back garden, at the local clubs to prepare for this. they really exciting. it local clubs to prepare for this. they really exciting.— local clubs to prepare for this. they really exciting. it was so soon she was going _

they really exciting. it was so soon she was going to — they really exciting. it was so soon she was going to become - they really exciting. it was so soon she was going to become female i she was going to become female paralympian to represent pa ralympian to represent afghanistan, paralympian to represent afghanistan, and both for women and paralytic athletes, that was such a similar moment, and i wonder how you feel —— paralytic athletes, that was such a similar moment for fermi, this was history in the making. first female athlete to compete, first paralympian, the growth of paralympians. we wanted to use her zero modern future case, give her publicity, and say, if she is able to do it, you can do it as well. staying with the paralympics, the decision was made today that no spectators will be allowed, just like the olympics. that's because of a state of emergency in the country, with rising numbers of coronavirus cases. as well as stadiums, fans are also requested not to attend road events. the games start a week tomorrow. the japanese government has proposed expanding and extending the country's state of emergency,

due to the ongoing pandemic, time to take a look at some of the day's other headlines. harry kane was left out by tottenham for their premier league opener yesterday, intensifying the speculation that he is leaving the club. but he has been included in the squad for this week's europa conference league tie in portugal. spurs boss nuno espirito santo says kane is "getting ready to help the team." john higgins made a 147 break in his first frame of british open in leicester. the four—time world champion did it against swiss player alexander ursenbacher — it's the 12th maximum of his career. mark cavendish is the first british rider to be confirmed for the tour of britain, which begins in september in cornwall. he equalled eddy merckx's record of 3a tour de france stage wins last month. the final cycling grand tour of the year is well under way.
