while on international duty, he revealed that he is dealing with a number of personal issues and will seek "psychological help". no one has a perfect life. sometimes football do things well and they have the money they need and we think that's a perfect life but that does not make you immune from life itself. there is always something in football is not i mean. sometimes i think they fall into the trap of thinking they are, and they are not. i think for the most part people are understanding that that's the case and sometimes we just choose to ignore because it makes not a better story but it makes a more impactful kind of scenario that while... fantastic footballer has problems, they all do, mate. they all do. all up—to—date with the football. it's going to be a busy few days at the rugby world cup in france.

indeed, live from madrid. - should the next men's football world cup in 2026 be rescheduled due to the environmental impacts of climate change? that's what some leading sports scientists say the organisers fifa should now consider doing after a summer of record temperatures and wildfires in north america. here's our sports editor dan roan. from wildfires shrouding cities like new york in orange haze to soaring temperatures in the south of the united states, for many, this summer in north america has brought home the realities of climate change. and yet this is where football's next world cup will take place, injune and july in three years' time, with the us, mexico and canada co—hosting. a leading expert in the effects of heat on the body is worried. i would have concerns. and they would run from the players through to the officials and the spectators. many of the temperatures we're seeing now in the us would exceed the levels at which exercise would be encouraged.
6:54 pm
this is going to have to be looked at very carefully and consideration given to changing the location and the timing of these kind of events. and that's exactly what fifa had to do in 2015, when they took the unprecedented decision to move last year's qatar world cup to winter because of the country's extreme summer heat. five cities in texas and mexico are among those that will stage games in 2026. and it's here, where a stationary area of high pressure known as a heat dome brought record—breaking temperatures lasting weeks this summer. just take a look at some of them for those five host cities, mid—30s to low 40s of celsius. and when you add in humidity, something us forecasters call a heat index, it can feel much hotter. in 2017, lioness rachel daly collapsed with heat exhaustion during a game played in high
6:55 pm
humidity in houston, in texas. it's something that fifa really need to look at. in the next world cup, if they're playing in temperatures above 40 degrees, it makes life incredibly difficult. playing in mexico in the '86 world cup, it was unbelievably hot. i was actually kind of dizzy and wandering around and couldn't really perform, and most of the players were the same because it was ridiculous. in earlyjune, over100 million north americans were living with air quality advisories, with six world cup host cities affected by canadian wildfire smoke. it's bad for you. that will have health consequences. it's certainly going to be easier for the players i i and the spectators if it's held i april/may or september/october. fifa referred the bbc to controls and considerations already in place, which include the monitoring of temperatures by officials, with referees advised to take water breaks whenever, climatic controls and roofs in some stadia, and the allocation
6:56 pm
and scheduling of matches aiming to minimise the effects of high temperatures. football's far from the only sport being affected by heat waves, of course, making it harder to both stage events and compete in them safely. dan roan, bbc news. that is dani rowe in there and the concerns about climate change and heat. the next menworld cup. 142 on that the bbc sport website. reminder of our top story this evening, the return of the premier league this week and with a spotlight on man united tomorrow and their manager today talking about the bad culture at the club. he has had to deal with since he took over. the football new show on the iplayer looks at the club is being run. that's it from us, goodbye. hello there, good evening. it's been another day of contrasts across the uk, with a band of really quite heavy rain across southern scotland,
6:57 pm
the central belt, eastern areas of northern ireland and parts of northern england throughout the day. to the north of that weather front, some brightness towards the south, lots of sunshine such as here in bedfordshire. again, it was warm for the time of year, and it will turn more humid in the south over the course of the weekend. still, fresher conditions persist further north. some showers just about everywhere, particularly through the day on sunday. still some wet weather to come, too, overnight tonight, but that band of showery rain is gradually starting to weaken. some heavy, thundery downpours move in across the channel islands, maybe into the south—west of england, too in time for tomorrow morning. a range of temperatures mid to high single figures towards the north, 12 or 13 degrees celsius in the south, where we're drawing in more of a south—easterly wind, pushing that humid air towards us from the near continent. here, we'll see the best of the day, sunshine again tomorrow. and temperatures could rise to 26 or 27 degrees celsius, largely dry further north, but still a few showers across the north—west of england, where again, it is going to be feeling cooler. now we're going to see
6:58 pm
that humid air hang on through the day on sunday. it's going to help to spark off some heavy, thundery downpours towards the south of england. there could be some frequent lightning, particularly as we head into the evening, but that band of showers moves northwards and eastwards. some showers, too, approaching western scotland, where again, it is feeling fresher, but the humid air hangs on towards the south and the east. now, throughout the day on sunday, that band of thundery rain is just set to push northwards and eastwards. we'll see some cold fronts just push through from the west on monday. this is likely to give us some heavy rain at times, but it will sweep away that humid air, to be replaced with something a lot fresher as we head into the start of next week. various weather fronts waiting out in the atlantic. it is going to be really very unsettled, but some sunshine ahead of that band of rain on monday. some sunny spells behind, but also a rash of showers, too. temperatures starting to drop, and that humid air will be replaced by the cooler conditions as we head through monday night and into tuesday. so, the details still likely
