oui’ our way. we've never had to fight our way. we've never had much money. we were cruelly voted out of the football league in 1972, thenit out of the football league in 1972, then it was a long run back to the football league, thanks to local owners. the manager at the time got us back into the football league to play some amazing football. then last season, we had ourfirst play some amazing football. then last season, we had our first season backin last season, we had our first season back in the football league in over 40 back in the football league in over a0 odd years. and we've got our fans, so everyone was massively looking forward to the season, the survival of last season has led to this season. itjust feels like a nice reward to get to aston villa, because we missed out on the celebrations of winning the league, winning the conference, coming back to the football league, and the celebrations of being in the football league. so it feels like in a small way, this has been a bit of a reward for the fans, to have a big game like this, to get that buzz back about football and full crowds.

it's been 12 days since the british sprinter cj ujah was provisionally suspended. he returned a positive drugs test at the olympic games, and the athletics integrity unit has commenced proceedings against him. he has denied any wrongdoing. he won silver in the four by 100 metre relay, and it's only today that one of his team—mates in the quartet has commented on ujah�*s suspension. let's speak to our sports correspondent katie gornall. we've been waiting for some kind of response from one of his team—mates, and what has he had to say? response from one of his team-mates, and what has he had to say?— and what has he had to say? that's riaht, so and what has he had to say? that's right. so hughes — and what has he had to say? that's right, so hughes has _ and what has he had to say? that's right, so hughes has put _ and what has he had to say? that's right, so hughes has put out - and what has he had to say? that's right, so hughes has put out a - right, so hughes has put out a statement on twitter today and, as he said, it's significant because it's the first time we've heard from one of ujah�*s team—mates since news of that shock positive test broke. hughes has described this as a situation out of his control, something that has not involved him but something he may be impacted on.
6:49 pm
he called for two things. he said... "this is vital, let the process run its course." so he's calling for fairness towards ujah. ujah has denied wrongdoing, he says he's shocked and devastated by what's happened. he tested positive for two banned substances which help build muscle. and unless he can provide an adequate explanation as to how those substances came into being in his system, he will face some hefty sanctions. he system, he will face some hefty sanctions-— system, he will face some hefty sanctions. ., ., . ., sanctions. he was also touched on the impact — sanctions. he was also touched on the impact it's _ sanctions. he was also touched on the impact it's likely _ sanctions. he was also touched on the impact it's likely to _ sanctions. he was also touched on the impact it's likely to have - sanctions. he was also touched on the impact it's likely to have on i the impact it's likely to have on him, if ujah is found guilty. the whole quartet will be penalised, won't they?—

6:51 pm
are caught up in all this through no fault of their own. and has never been stripped of a summer 0lympic been stripped of a summer olympic medal before, so if an anti—doping rule violation is proven in the case of ujah, then this potentially is the biggest doping scandal in british olympic history. katie, many thanks indeed. _ the third test between england and india starts at headingly tomorrow, india are one—up in the series after last week's win at lords. there were lots of verbals out in the middle in an ill—tempered match there. the india captain, virat kohli, says they were provoked by england. james anderson says the tourists "channelled their emotions well". cool heads will be required at headingly. 0ur sports correspondent joe wilson is there for us. for england's captain and coach, there's no perfect world, no ideal schedule. there'sjust there's no perfect world, no ideal schedule. there's just this test match here at headingly following the hundred. so a batsman has been

6:54 pm
some pretty intense scrutiny right now under way on the way cricket is being run. the stated aim of the hundred is to support all forms of cricket in particular, test match cricket. so bring back devon malan and bring on some different kinds of fireworks —— david malan. joe wilson, bbc news. you'll have seen the turmoil in afghanistan at the moment, with thousands desperately trying to flee the country. over the past week, we've touched on what it could mean for afghan sport. istiqlal hanif came to britain as a refugee at the age of 11 — he's now 20 and an ambassador for the afghan cricket association, where he continues to help youngsters in his community to play the game. grown definite dust growing up in afghanistan just wasn't easy. there were no other places to play cricket instead of street cricket. and even when you played at home inside, you are breaking most of the windows,
6:55 pm
which my family wasn't happy about. when afghanistan made it to professional cricket, there is no telly outside so we had to listen to the radio. when i first got in i couldn't speak english at all. i joined the high school then slowly, my english was getting better. the other students weren't as good at me —— as mia cricket. they asked me if we could make our own team, and i said yes, i would love that to happen. they made me the captain, as well. is a really good friend of mine, i'm very proud of what he's accomplished in a short amount of time. it's good to have a player who's playing internationally and he asked you how the international games work. being the ambassador of the afghanistan cricket association, we basically plan the events for the afghan cricket communityjust to bring everyone together. 0bviously
6:56 pm
bring everyone together. obviously you don't want to forget about your culture or your country. that's all from sportsday. just a quick reminder of our top story: the paralympics in tokyo, 12 days of competition lie ahead. we've had the opening ceremony, go to the bbc sport website for the full timetable, and there will be commentary on all the key events on five live radio. but for me and the rest of the team here, it's goodbye for now. hello. the weather is expected to remain settled for the foreseeable future, at least the next 7—10 days. and certainly for the rest of this week, it's a case of sunny spells, but for some of us, cloudy at times, as well. now this is a blocking area of high pressure — it stops the weather fronts, the rain fronts from making any progress eastwards, so hence it'll keep things
6:57 pm
dry for us. but it's not gin clear within this high pressure — you can see areas of cloud earlier on, but many areas of the country seeing some sunshine. so through the course of this evening and overnight, it's a case of clear skies across many western and southern areas. closer to the north sea coasts and also inland, it once again will turn cloudy as that north sea cloud drifts in — or persists, if you have already. that means that wednesday morning will start off grey in a number of areas. but, just like today, that cloud will give way to some sunshine eventually. so you can see through the morning, the cloudier skies, and into lunch time, the cloudier skies there into the east, the southeast as well, breaking up here, but sunshine along the coast and beautiful weather along the coasts of wales, the irish sea. there's some fantastic weather in the southwest of scotland, and in glasgow, up to 26 celsius with light winds and sunshine. now a subtle difference on thursday — a little cool front is expected to ride on the eastern edge of this high pressure here and bring some
6:58 pm
cool winds from the north. so here's that cooler wind blowing out of the north sea, bringing some cloud here. so i think on the coast itself, it could actually feel relatively chilly, temperatures could be around 15—16 celsius. 0ut towards the west where the winds are lighter and there's more sunshine, temperatures will be in the low 20s. and little change expected into friday, the high pressure's with us centred across scotland and the norwegian sea — so this is where the best of the weather will be once again. always a bit more of a breeze closer to east anglia and, say, the lincolnshire coast there. and the temperature's around 18 celsius in norwich, we'll probably get into the low 20s just across some western parts of the uk. so a quiet week ahead, and the quiet weather's expected to last into the weekend and probably into the bank holiday weekend. and it looks as though that high pressure is in no hurry to budge. bye— bye.
6:59 pm
7:00 pm
hello, i'm ros atkins, this is 0utside source. the taliban has said that afghans should not try to leave the country. with thousands still trying to fly out of kabul airport — a taliban spokesman also repeated their demand for all foreign forces to be out of afghanistan by next tuesday. they can take all the people that belong to them, but we are not going to allow afghans to leave and we will not extend the deadline. western leaders have been meeting to discuss that 31 august deadline — president biden looks set to stick to it. one other big story to bring you this hour: rolling stones drummer charlie watts has died at the age of 80. his publicist says he passed away
