league once again honours the life of a player who lit up the stage so many times before. it's nearly 40 years since hull kr's last major trophy. wigan, well, it's been a little over three weeks. guiding them to the brink of history, bevan french sending rovers the wrong way before taking the direct route. rovers coming storming out in the second half, but still unable to find the gap, squeezed out, no way through. in a game of such fine margins, this looked to be the moment we can would win it. the try seemed certain. jake waterman, though, agonisingly unable to hang on. his side, though, would cling on — just. on. his side, though, would cling on —just. heartbreak on. his side, though, would cling on — just. heartbreakfor on. his side, though, would cling on — just. heartbreak for kingston rovers, history for weekend warriors. french, were the first recipient of the rob burrow award, presented by his father, jeff

in pool 2, scotland were up against australia in a title decider, and it was the aussies who edged a close contest to win 31—22. this last—minute try from ashley marsters making sure of the win. scotland's winless run in the nations league continued with defeat to croatia in zagreb last night. they took the lead but couldn't hold on to it, andrej kramaric�*s header sealing a 2—1 win for the home side. it means that scotland have only won once in the last 15 games. northern ireland were held to a goalless draw by belarus in a match that had to be played in hungary, due to uefa restrictions. liverpool's conor bradley captained the side and his disallowed goal in the first half proved to be their best opportunity. five matches to come in the women's super league this afternoon, including a repeat of last season's fa cup final between manchester united and tottenham hotspur. yesterday, chelsea maintained their perfect start to the defence of their title with a 2—1 win over arsenal. sandy baltimore doubled chelsea's lead with just over quarter of an hour gone. chelsea are top of the table — at least until manchester city play

liverpool later today. it was a disappointing day on the water for sir ben ainslie and his ineos britannia crew as they lost twice to new zealand yesterday in the opening round of the america's cup in spain. they race again later today in the best—of—seven series. patrick gearey has more a voyage of british sailors have been trying to make 40 years. a competition they've been trying to win since 1851. the competition they've been trying to win since 1851.— win since 1851. the louis vuitton 37th america's _ win since 1851. the louis vuitton 37th america's cup _ win since 1851. the louis vuitton 37th america's cup is _ win since 1851. the louis vuitton 37th america's cup is a - win since 1851. the louis vuitton 37th america's cup is a go! - win since 1851. the louis vuitton 37th america's cup is a go! so . win since 1851. the louis vuitton - 37th america's cup is a go! so much behind sir ben _ 37th america's cup is a go! so much behind sir ben ainslie _ 37th america's cup is a go! so much behind sir ben ainslie and _ behind sir ben ainslie and britannia, but in front of them, to new zealand. the holders and soon the leaders. to achieve this speed, the leaders. to achieve this speed, the boats glide gracefully, while on board a sailors paddle frantically, providing the power for others to use their skill to turn the boats with the wind and the course. in race one, the kiwis did it better, putting a marker in the water. but you need seven winds to take the

6:36 am
fingers crossed. thank you, hugh. we will be back with headlines at seven o'clock, but right now it is time the travel show. all of our lives are defined by the places we're connected to... ..and the people we hold close. speaks vietnamese my name is william lee adams, and i'm a vietnamese—american journalist and an author. i was born six years after the vietnam war ended. i'm here to explore a country that's helped shape me. for me, it all flows from the war that brought my parents together. two people born, 12 time zones apart, thrust together to build a life. my family lived in america and my big brother, john, was my best friend. speaks vietnamese but two years ago, he passed away. i have a lot of unfinished business.
6:37 am
i want to bring him home, essentially. this is where he was born. this is where he was happiest. and this is where so many people who loved him and took care of him still are. i'm travelling across the country, starting in the capital city, hanoi, and ending over 1,500km away in ho chi minh city... ..where my family still lives in banana garden market. whispering: 0h, he's always so well—hidden. it's the most incredible journey i've ever taken. and i have to confront my family's difficult relationship with vietnam. my father and your grandfather would have been fighting against each other. yes. i lost my grandfather, right. will putting my brother to rest... ..help me make peace with the past?
6:38 am
i'm starting the second part of myjourney in ninh binh province. i've not spent much time in nature in vietnam. it's home to some of the world's rarest plants and animals. so i've come to the endangered primate rescue centre. hien is one of the rangers. 500kg! yeah. that's a lot. monkeys squeal never in my life have
6:40 am
these little guys are called delacour�*s langurs, and they're native to this part of vietnam. some of them are learning how to be wild again after surviving human entrapment. whistle blows hien does a daily check—up to make sure they're doing all right. monkey peeps whistle blows whispering: this is the only human contact that these langurs have every day. the delacour�*s langur is only found in vietnam, and there are fewer than 300 of them in the wild. that makes them critically endangered. hien takes me to the wetlands where langurs still live
6:41 am
in their natural habitat. quietly: 0h. whispering: we can hear them now. yeah, yeah. i definitely hear one. you see? over here. ah! whispers: yeah. yeah. yeah, yeah, yeah. yeah. 0h. green tree. yeah, yeah, yeah. they move so fast. isee... i see more one. one. 0h, he's so well hidden. yeah. there are four of them now. they've moved from the cave into the trees. here comes another one. they look like little panda bears on the rocks. you get a sense of how agile they are, but also how delicate they are. some estimates say over a third of the country's forests were affected by the vietnam war, making places like this even more important.
6:42 am
my dad was one of the 2.7 million americans who served here. fo many, da nang province in the middle of the country offered their first view of vietnam. but today, the area has been transformed. 0h, hi! hi, nice to meet you. nice to meet you. william. oh, i am my. my! my, my, my. ah, my... my is a tour guide... whoa! ..in one of vietnam's largest theme parks, ba na hills. i showed my mom a video of ba na hills, and she asked me, "where in europe is that?" and then when i told her it was vietnam, she was laughing. i think it piqued her curiosity because the vietnam she left is not
6:43 am
the vietnam that i'm returning to. ok, i will show you the golden bridge. before i got to ba na hills, i thought i'd be really dismissive of it. is it like this every day? but then, i stepped on to the golden bridge — the hands of god, as people say — to walk above the clouds. there's something really special about that. the most touring a day we do...serving...30,000. would you prefer it if there was a limit to how many people could come? no! of course no! everyone in the world knows we are amazing. we have a lot of things. the communists may have won the war, but it's very clear that capitalism rules the day. is it tacky? perhaps. but it's also monumental. vietnam is at a stage of development where that's a sign of growth and confidence. so, who am i tojudge? my shows me the european village, which includes a fake french cathedral. sort of feels like
6:44 am
a gothic cathedral. but when you knock, it's more like cardboard, or one of those tubes you put a poster in. hello, hello. vietnamese people can go to here. don't need to go to europe, don't need to go to england to see this building like this. we can see it in vietnam. it's cheaper, right? my wants to show vietnamese culture, vietnamese flare. that brings tourists, and those tourists have helped change her life. she now has opportunities that her parents didn't have, that her grandparents certainly didn't have. every family in vietnam was impacted by the war. yes. my father and your grandfather would have been fighting against each other. yes. does that stir anything inside you? sometimes. i lost my grandfather, right? so, this is ok. i don't fight you. i can make yourfriend, right? our generation don't want to talk about this too much. we just move in the future.
6:45 am
0h, raining! we need to go to... hold hands. yes. when i was a kid, my father refused to talk about vietnam. he would always say, "the last time i was in vietnam, "i was on a helicopter and people were trying to shoot me down." when i first came to vietnam, my mother was like, "why are you going there? "why do you need to go there? "don't ask questions." everything was about forgetting the past. and i know that they tucked away so much pain into that darkness. i feel like we've had four seasons in one day. yes. it's sort of like when you're on an aeroplane and you go through the cloud. yeah! that's right. that's a new experience, right? yeah. around 900km south from ba na hills lies the final
6:46 am
destination of myjourney, ho chi minh city. ho chi minh city is essentially a city with two names. historically, it was always known as saigon but after the war, it was renamed ho chi minh city in honour of the great communist revolutionary. many locals still call it saigon. i use both. saigon was the first place i ever came in vietnam. it's a place where i was first immersed in vietnamese culture, vietnamese language, and it's where my family is from. i haven't been back here for 18 years. i'm off to meet que mai — she's perhaps vietnam's most famous author and poet. a lot of her writing is set during the war, and i'm hoping she'll be able to tell me about the time my family never talks about. 0h. ohh! nice to meet you! hello, que mai. welcome home! oh, thank you so much! welcome home. i want to welcome you to saigon
6:47 am
and i hope you feel really proud being home. we are here on the book street of saigon. this street was established only in 2016, so all the main publishers have their little store here and they have their latest titles here. why do you think it's important to remember vietnam's history? the past has so much to offer us in terms of wisdom, in terms of knowledge, in terms of lessons. in vietnam, even though the country is developing really fast, but if you know, there are still hundreds of thousands of people still missing from the war, there are still millions who are suffering from the impact of agent orange. a huge part of vietnamese history is that americans, during the war, sprayed forests with agent orange — a poison which killed the leaves. it poisoned the soil. and this was to expose their enemies.
6:48 am
the official viewpoint is we won the war and there's no trauma, so that's why i felt the need to document such hidden trauma, sense of trauma, trauma which has been brushed aside, unacknowledged. do you remember much of the war? i was born two years before the war ended and i remember growing up playing hide—and—seek in the bomb shelter. and i remember how empty our village was of men. and at that time, you know, we didn't know much about the impact of agent orange yet — until years later. and i remember that in the mekong delta, there were so many deformed fish and fish that had two tails or that had two heads or that had twisted bodies. we grew up hungry, so we ate everything that we could find, including deformed fish. so, i remember that when i gave birth to my kids, the first thing i did was i was counting their fingers and their toes. the vortex of war sucks
6:49 am
many people into it and it doesn't end when one country wins and another loses. for my parents, john was a living reminder of the war. my mother had this beautiful son who, because of a lack of medicine, because of a lack of doctors, lost so much of himself. what's he saying? nam xuong, lie down? yeah! and then in the relations in our household, there was a lot of conflict, there was a lot of chaos — that's how the war lived on. because ifjohn hadn't suffered, i don't think the family would have suffered. and i think that if there hadn't been a war, john's suffering would never have started in the first place. i've left the centre of ho chi minh city and now, i'm in district 3. this is where my mom was raised. this is cho vuon chuoi — banana garden market. we're going to meet my aunt numberfive, yi nam.
6:50 am
left or right? i think it's right. and she was the primary caregiver to my brother after my mother left vietnam in 1973. he stayed with her until 1981. laughter hello. how are you? oh, still very beautiful, i see. this is my cousin and my aunt. they're pretty busy! this is where my family still lives. it's where my parents met. these are the streets wherejohn spent the first 13 years of his life.
6:51 am
it's incredible to know that he was walking, running, playing here when he was healthy. she asked how my partner was. khong sao! no problem! in 2006, i was living with my aunt for a time and my boyfriend visited. but at the time, i said that ben was just a friend. things were left a bit awkward. so, when i came back to my aunt's shop and one of the first questions she asked was, "how's your boyfriend?", i wasjust completely at ease. speaks vietnamese she's like a calculator, her brain... she's doing all of the math in her head.
6:52 am
cackles for so many years, i've thought aboutjohn in the context of my mother, my father and me. but the fact is, he had a whole separate life that i know nothing about. 0h... ooh! i spent a month here when i was 19 or 20. i remember this so well. the heat as well, and how opening the door brings in all the cool air. it makes such a huge difference. ah... as much as i'm here to fill in blanks, i hope it maybe opens a pressure valve for my aunt. i hope maybe it gives her a chance to talk freely aboutjohn, as well.
6:54 am
6:55 am
i needed to do this for her. i've had this inner turmoil about am i doing the right thing? is carrying someone's ashes from abroad and bringing them to vietnam — is that ok? but my aunt, she told me that she prays at the pagoda every day forjohn, and that having his ashes here will make it easierfor her. ma, we're in the van right now.
6:56 am
i will call you from london, yeah. now— i will call you from london, yeah. now it's — i will call you from london, yeah. now it's time _ i will call you from london, yeah. now it's time to _ i will call you from london, yeah. now it's time to do _ i will call you from london, yeah. now it's time to do it _ i will call you from london, yeah. now it's time to do it and - i will call you from london, yeah. now it's time to do it and that's l now it's time to do it and that's something _ now it's time to do it and that's something completely- now it's time to do it and that'si something completely different. now it's time to do it and that's - something completely different. that was reall something completely different. was really funny timing. see something completely different- was really funny timing. see somehow knew we were in the van. both speak vietnamese i'm not a practising buddhist but buddhism, sincejohn's death, has given me a way to see him, to see my family and to see the love they share. there were three layers — ground floor, the welcome. going up a level, where we were praying and chanting.
6:57 am
and then another level still, wherejohn's ashes will rest. i approached today with fear, thinking, "this is going "to be so sad. "this is going to be overwhelming." but it wasn't. it was a release. it was happy. and i heard my aunt chanting to herself. she said, "nam mo a di da phat. "nam mo a di da phat." and the more she said it, the more at ease i was. knowing that the monk thinks i did something right by my brother, for my brother — that's enough. it's enough. and that gives me peace. that gives me peace.
6:58 am
every time i've been to vietnam, there's been this sense of, something is now complete. some chapter is over. but i actually viewed this trip more like a new chapter's opening. vietnam has played such a central role in shaping my family, my sense of myself, and i hope it continues to do that. i don't want to leave it 20 years to come back here.
