when the taliban took power in afghanistan in 2021, the freedom and safety of women they immediately came under threat. it was especially true of female footballers at risk because they play the sport taliban considered un— islamic. after a campaign the british press, 35 players were evacuated to the uk and given the right to stay here. but last week an article on the bbc news website and report shown newsnight said 13 of those flown to britain were not top tier footballers as had flown to britain were not top tierfootballers as had been claimed. tier footballers as had been claimed. . . claimed. there is resentment amonu claimed. there is resentment among genuine _ claimed. there is resentment among genuine players - claimed. there is resentment among genuine players now. among genuine players now living under taliban rule in afghanistan. but others got out apparently pretended to play for teams they did not. i spoke to aisha and sara, not their real names, and their words are voiced by actors to protect their identity. it voiced by actors to protect their identity.— their identity. it is like a livina their identity. it is like a living hell. _ their identity. it is like a living hell. it _ their identity. it is like a living hell. itjust- their identity. it is like a living hell. itjust makes their identity. it is like a - living hell. itjust makes me feel— living hell. itjust makes me feel very— living hell. itjust makes me feel very neglected and very sad — feel very neglected and very sad. because we are the real

beenin the taliban, have basically been in fear of their lives, and they've come to a country that they are expected to be welcoming and understanding of their plight. instead, they come face—to—face with a headline like this. and i know it has caused consternation in their communities and, really, it was completely necessary. we asked bbc for someone to interview to respond to those points and our request was declined. a spokesperson gave us this statement:

as the bbc�*s new unified channel to replace the current domestic news channel and international world news approaches its launch, viewers have been noticing more changes in the schedules for uk audiences. as of last week, for example, the context presented by christian fraser has halved in length from one hour to 30 minutes. fans of the show were not impressed, with gillian sayer wondering:

well also spotted by a number of us has been a rise in the number of programmes repeated on the news channel. take this documentary about guide dogs and their importance to those who are visually impaired, such as its presenter, sean dilley. during the pandemic, the breeding programme shutdown overnight. the charity lost one third of its puppy raising volunteers. and the guide dog service was paused.— volunteers. and the guide dog service was paused. people need them so much — service was paused. people need them so much to _ service was paused. people need them so much to help _ service was paused. people need them so much to help people - them so much to help people like you _ them so much to help people like ou. . ., . like you. leaving more than 1000 people _ like you. leaving more than 1000 people waiting - like you. leaving more than 1000 people waiting to - like you. leaving more than 1000 people waiting to be l 1000 people waiting to be matched.

local radio, said of the run of interviews at the moment was iconic but perhaps ironic was the word as listenerjanet tweeted: thank you for all your comments this week. if you want to share your opinions on what you see or hear on bbc news, on tv, radio, online and social media, e—mail us. you can find us on twitter. you can call us. and do have a look at our website. that's all from us. we will be back to hear your thoughts about bbc news coverage again next week. goodbye. hello there. the month of march has been a bit of a roller—coaster, hasn't it? and friday was no exception. look at these contrasting weather conditions — a beautiful afternoon in scarborough, north yorkshire.

pleasantly warm as well. different story in wiltshire. in fact, there was just shy of an inch of rain by some torrential and at times thundery downpours that moved through the country. we have actually seen quite an unsettled month for many — some areas seeing double the amount of rainfall — and the month is not out with more wet weather to come before we move into april. now, as for the start of the weekend, we are going to see further showers, not quite as many as friday, but this little weather front will enhance the showers from time to time. it's going to be a mild start to the day. sunny spells and a few isolated showers during the morning become a little bit more widespread into the afternoon, but there will be some drier, brighter interludes and favoured spots for that is where we had the wettest of the weather, actually, on friday, so across southern and south west england, along with wales, 13 or 1a degrees. a line of showers from that front across east anglia, northern england and into northern ireland. a little bit more cloud but some sunshine into

northern scotland but noticeably cooler as that northerly wind starts to kick in — 5—9 degrees here. now, it looks likely that we are going to see some wetter weather, though, from saturday into sunday with this area of low pressure bringing some rain once again into the south—west and so, that brings a bit of a contrast first thing on sunday morning. milder air sitting down to the south—west but eventually as that rain clears, the cooler northerly flow starts to push further south across the country. so, a grey, potentially wet start across the south first thing on sunday morning, slowly easing away to brighter, sunnier skies. a few wintry showers in the far north of scotland — keir sitting in the cooler air with around a—6 degrees. further south, it will be noticeably cooler but not particularly biting with it. now, it looks likely that that cooler trend stays on monday with plenty of sunshine before more rain arrives for tuesday. and just before i say goodbye, don't forget, as we move into the early hours of sunday morning, it's the start of british summer time. we all lose an hour's sleep

but we gain more daylight. take care.
