i saw him just a few weeks ago. he told me he had hoped to come back to work one last time, to say thank you and goodbye right here live on air. he didn't get the chance. so we have done it for him. i'll leave you with george alagiah in his own words. my life is, for what it's worth, is divided into pre—cancer and post cancer. yeah, the weird thing about a bowel cancerjourney is you don't really know the beginning and you don't really know the end. so i know the day i was diagnosed with bowel cancer, but i don't know when it started, because i was at the top of my game, i was having a fantastic time at work, at home. then suddenly, you hear those words, "i'm sorry to have to tell you, mralagiah,

"you've got bowel cancer. " at first when you're told, you don't know how to kind of respond. it took me a while to understand what i needed to do. for me, i had to get to a place of contentment and the only way i knew how to do that was literally to look back at my life. actually, when i look back, i looked at myjourney, where it all started, looked at the family i had, the opportunities my family had and the great good fortune to bump into fran, who has now been my wife and lover for all these years, the kids that we brought up, it didn't feel like a failure. i wish i hadn't had cancer, obviously, but i have cancer and i'm glad of the things i've learnt about myself and about my community, my friends and my family as a result. i have got to a place to see life

as a gift and rather than kind of worrying about when it is going to end and how it's going to end, i've got to a place where i can see it for the gift that it is. i feel that gift keenly every morning. brazil in germany and present in the women's world cup openers using past panama the first hat trick of this tournament. former england burning in city striker has died at the age of 69 it will be reflecting on his life is britain's first million pound footballer. in the inquest into england's drop begins in the

points in the bag, it did raise more questions than answers in the big questions than answers in the big question is was thatjust rescued us from england in the opening theme of the tournament and a new partnership having to go all of the pitch wasn't a sign of things to come? we get our thoughts and a former england captain who believes partly down to the fact that england of a target on their backs there before. it’s the fact that england of a target on their backs there before.— their backs there before. it's the ressure their backs there before. it's the pressure that — their backs there before. it's the pressure that in _ their backs there before. it's the pressure that in a _ their backs there before. it's the pressure that in a way _ their backs there before. it's the pressure that in a way of- their backs there before. it's the pressure that in a way of hoping | their backs there before. it's the i pressure that in a way of hoping for her wanting because you want to become champion, if they're going to become champion, if they're going to become world champion, they have to become world champion, they have to be used to that and having that target on the back in the performances against them just like i used to do construe many and the european champions from the plate them and it is a good thing to have, i think it is a positive.— i think it is a positive. thinking back to the _ i think it is a positive. thinking back to the last _ i think it is a positive. thinking back to the last world - i think it is a positive. thinking back to the last world cup, - i think it is a positive. thinking i back to the last world cup, there i think it is a positive. thinking - back to the last world cup, there is a big score line in the group stages, particularly involving the usa in this time around in australia and new zealand, the matches seem to be a lot tighter, competitive which

is a sign that this could be the most open and exciting world cup yet. hoping that won't be too much excitement when they take on denmark on friday night and on paper, it's the toughest match of the group and a win in that game will go a long way to secure qualifications for the last 16. away from the world cup when the taliban took over a couple nearly two years ago, many of the afghan national women's team escaped to australia they settled in melbourne and are continuing to play but because the taliban have banned women in sports, fifa refuses to recognise in this national team. a correspondent is been spending time with the players. this is not prep for a world cup game, but these women have already come a long way. two years ago, they were running for their lives, fleeing their home country after the taliban takeover. they're safe now, following their dreams. but it's not lost on them that millions of their country women can't do the same.

everything you see here, the jerseys they're wearing, the hairstyles. even the laughter is enough to get them severely punished or killed, had they stayed in afghanistan. now, there are many people who are in a voiceless journey, and i have to be the voice for them. i have an obligation to represent those ladies back in my home country. those who cannot study, those who cannot work, and those who cannot play soccer or do anything they like. so, now i'm representing them, and i feel more strong and proud, and it will be awesome to represent that country that women and ladies are banned from everything there. it's a bittersweet moment for these players representing afghanistan nearly two years after they fled their home country. many say this is much more than just about football for them. we play for afghan women, they tell me, and we pray for theirfreedom. none of them take this moment for granted. the taliban government has banned women's sports,

which means they're not officially recognized by their country or fifa. the taliban government has banned women's sports, which means they're not officially recognized by their country or fifa. i'm very sad. i was expecting a lot from the governing bodies of football to stand with these women. when taliban say women of afghanistan belong to the kitchen. these women sacrificed a lot to change that mindset, that women don't belong to the kitchen, women belong to everywhere in the society. and that's what we want — the leadership. we want a strong voice to stand with us and just don't keep silent. we've asked fifa for a response, and they sent us this statement saying that the selection of players and teams representing a member association is an internal affair, adding that fifa does not have the right to officially recognise any team unless it is first recognised by its own association.

they also said that they'll continue to closely monitor the situation of the afghan team. doing what they love comes at a heavy price. the constant anxiety about the safety of family and friends back home and the loneliness of having left everything behind. these players have given up a lot for football, and they're hoping that football doesn't give up on them. set news, trevor francis, the england forward has died at the age of 69, the first footballer to be sold for £1 billion back in 1979 was a two—time european cup winner for nottingham forest. arriving in 1979 is the first million pound player under the watch of manager brian clark. it was a price tag but even

thank you forjoining us and we'll see you next time. hello. the mixed bag continues after what was a very mixed weekend and for some of us an absolute wash—out on saturday. the weather was more typical of autumn and indeed little change expected for the rest of this week and quite possibly into august as well. i want to show you the weather systems developing across the north atlantic and heading in our direction on this wide picture here, this wide map. let's have a look at this animation and once again you can see the cloud and the outbreaks of rain and this undulating jet stream, and where we see these troughs in the jet stream that is where the low pressure tends to form. crucially over the next few days the jet stream will be generally to the south of us, an autumn—like pattern, hence the colder air comes in from the north and keeps things very fresh for us. today, a lot of cloud across the uk, thicker cloud in the second half of the day in southern areas and this is where the showers will be more frequent.

it is not raining all the time today and there will be decent spells, but it is on the cool side with the jet stream to the south of us generally. temperatures will be around 16 to 18, peaking this afternoon. tonight it is the same pattern, there will be clear spells and showers become more frequent in scotland and there will be a few showers elsewhere. not too cold in the city centres, around 9 to 11, but in rural spots it will be a little bit colder. tomorrow starts off quite bright, even sunny in some areas, but this is what we call unstable air, so the cloud will grow quite quickly and produce sharp showers. some of them will be quite heavy across northern parts of england and southern scotland. but in this situation the best of the weather tends to be up towards the south—west, particularly coastal areas. i showed you the animation with the jet stream and the developing weather systems and this is a different look at it. this is early on wednesday and early in the day there will be decent weather, particularly in northern and eastern parts of the country, but then quickly this next weather front will sweep in and bring outbreaks of rain and at times it will be heavy.

it has already been a very wet month in parts of north—western england. if you look at the outlook through the week into the weekend it is unsettled. live from london. this is bbc news. tributes are paid to george alagiah — one of the bbc�*s most
