Diagnosed with Breast Cancer. Hello and thanks forjoining us. The afghan Resistance Leader Ahmad massoud says he is ready for Peace Talks to end fighting in the Panjshir Valley. The Northern Province of panjshir is two hours from the capital kabul, and is now the only region not controlled by the taliban. They claim they have reached panjshir� s provincial capital, after securing the surrounding districts. But massouds national Resistance Front disputes this. Posting on facebook, Mr Massoud said that to reach a lasting peace, the nrf is ready to stop fighting on condition that the taliban also stop their attacks and military movements on Panjshir And Andarab a district in a neighbouring province. Its not clear if the taliban are likely to agree to the truce proposal. Ali nazary is the head of foreign relations for the national Resistance Front of afghanistan. Speaking to me from an undisclosed location outside of the country, he gave his assessment of the Talibans Assault on The Valley. We are present throughout panjshir at the moment. Panjshir is in a small province or valley. Panjshir has many semi valleys, from the southern part up to the northern part of The Valley. Right now, the taliban are only in a few locations. They are facing difficulties. Our forces are resisting and defending their people, their honour, their home and their values. This isnt a resistance that will end with the taliban entering panjshir. Panjshir is the lions den. Any enemy who enters panjshir will not leave alive. But its true, isnt it, that there are a number of key commanders of the nrf that have been either injured or killed in this battle . Fahim dashty, for Instance Reports of emerging that hes been killed. What details are you able to give us on this . Can you tell us more about who he was, what he represented . In war, there is always casualties on both sides. This is something normal. We are not going to deny that weve had casualties. Two of my colleagues, Mr Dashty the spokesperson, and general zara, who was a formidable military officer, who served under and was the nephew of the late commander massoud, were martyred tonight. Unfortunately, they were martyred, however, their spirit is going to be alive and the people will resist. Just tojump in, mr nazary, why are you offering a truce now, given the fact youre saying the taliban have not made the encroachments in the Panjshir Valley as they claim . Weve always extended an olive branch, whether it was 27 years ago, when the Taliban Movement first formed, whether it was ten years ago, when rabbani, the head of the peace council, was assassinated by them. Whether its today. This has always been our legacy, because we prefer peace over war. We prefer reconciliation and negotiations over conflict. This has always been valued by us, and we will always. But the taliban are unlikely to want to share power with you. Isnt that right . They dont want to bring in non taliban members, they dont want to bring outsiders into the government. That doesnt seem to be on the cards right now, so what kind of Compromise Or Peace Sharing Agreement is possible . Well, they need to read afghanistans history. Afghanistan is a country made up of ethnic minorities. One group, one Politicalforce Cannot dominate the country. What the taliban are doing Today Isnt going to bring peace and stability. With their operation, their aggression against panjshir, they deepen social cleavages so much in our society that its irreversible. We will see the negative impact inside afghanistan in the years to come. The taliban with their narrative of dominance will never rule afghanistan. This isnt the approach to bring peace and stability, and we are completely against this. So, mr nazary, does that mean that the resistance in the Panjshir Valley, are you saying that will continue, despite the fact theres been this offer of a truce, and the taliban say they now control the area . Of course. Look, from 1979 up to 1992, or 1989, when the soviets were in the country, the soviets entered panjshir nine times, nine major offensives. Every time they came into the panjshir, they left The Valley defeated. The taliban are not as strong as the red army. If we were able to manage that in the 1980s, when we were able to defeat our enemies, were able to defeat the taliban. Yes, it is going to be a struggle and a challenge, but weve overcome these challenges before and well overcome it in the future. In other developments, a heavily pregnant Police Officer in afghanistan has been shot dead by armed men inside her home. Witnesses said Banu Negar had been beaten the previous day, after taking down a taliban flag. The taliban have told the bbc they had no involvement. Meanwhile, across the country, people are adapting to life under the new regime. Our Correspondent Secunder Kermani has travelled from the capital, kabul, to the province of logar, from where he sent this report. Theyve grown up along the Front Line but their first taste of peace is bittersweet. In the final weeks of the war, government forces flattened these houses after coming under fire from taliban fighters somewhere nearby. The home of this School Cleaner was closest to the army base. Its nowjust A Pile of rubble. The Afghan Army frequently accused the taliban of firing from residential areas. Either way, civilians have often been caught in the middle of this conflict. Everywhere we go in this village, people are trying to show us signs of the war where the army used to fire down on the bazaar, where the taliban used to be based, the Ceiling Hit by bullets, that shop over there hit by a rocket. This man saying to come with him. The signs of destruction might not look that much, but theyve had a devastating impact on peoples lives. Now youve got peace, but what other challenges do you have here . And we are here, and i dont see any women around us, so is that because of the taliban . In more conservative areas like this, social attitudes do align more closely with those of the taliban. What local women think remains unclear. Elsewhere today, a female Police Officer was allegedly killed by the taliban, though theyve denied that. By the time we arrive, the local girls� school has already closed for the day. Across much of the country, classes are taking place but, for now, only for primary pupils. This village boys� school is under resourced and overcrowded, with most taught outside. In the past, lessons would often be interrupted by clashes, the principal tells me, with children cowering inside classrooms. In villages like this, an end to the violence was the biggest priority. But so many other challenges still remain. Will the taliban be able to take them on . Secunder kermani, Bbc News, logar province.

A Football World Cup Qualifying Match between Brazil And Argentina has been stopped minutes after kick off, following a dramatic intervention on the pitch by brazilian health officials. They accused four argentine players of having broken brazils Covid Quarantine rules. Sports journalist tim vickery, whos in brazil, told me why they entered the pitch when the game was already under way. It is indeed bizarre, one of the Worlds Rate Sporting rivalries reduced to the level of absolute farce. The uk is on brazils Red List for covid, just let us the uk is on brazils Red List for covid, just as brazil is on the uks, and four of the argentine squad, including three of the starting Line Up, live, work, play in the uk. When they arrived in brazil, they had come down from venezuela, but they had to fill out forms saying where they had been. Had they been in Red List countries over the last 1a days. It appears, according to Brazils Health Authority, the four argentine players did not include this information, did not state they had been in a Red List country. This would have required them to spend 1a days in quarantine. It was clear on saturday that there was a problem, the Brazil Health authorities had been alerted to the fact that incorrect information had been given at the airport. They wanted those four argentine players to be quarantined and deported. What happened then is argentina it seems receiving the backing of the Football Authorities in south america, that argentina decided that they would play the game only if their players, all of their players, could play. They went to the stadium and started the game with the starting Line Up featuring three of these players, Brazils Health Authority to apprehend these players. Argentina would not carry on the game without them. I see. Just briefly, what does this mean for World Cup qualifiers now . Its a huge problem for fifa, who have to decide what to do.

She was part of one of the most successful british female bands of all time, with 20 consecutive top ten singles.

Our Enterainment Correspondent Lizo mzimba looks back at her life. His report contains some flashing images. After three months of competition, the moment her dream came true. Sarah. Cheering. But Sarah Harding could scarcely have imagined the success that would follow. Every one of their first 16 singles, a top ten hit. Thanks to a collection of irresistibly catchy songs, they were soon selling thousands of singles. Sound of the underground. And performing to sold out audiences. If i had a promise from you. Sarah brought powerful vocals and a willingness to be portrayed. Makes me wanna break the rules . As the bands most outrageous personality, the headline grabbing party girl. She also acted. There were small parts in coronation street. Actually, i dont suppose by any chance you know a Tracy Barlow . And the second of the st trinian� s movies. I predict a riot, i predict a riot i has it been fun . Its been great fun. We have a real giggle, actually, in between takes. We really are naughty schoolgirls. We have to be kept getting told, girls, Shut Up Nadine Coyle led the tributes, saying. And Pop Starsjudge Pete waterman paid his tribute this afternoon. She was a Girl Next Door who had got it all. She was identifiable by the audience that were going to buy her records. That was the beauty of sarah. When the singer discovered an enlarged Lymph Node just before covid began, the pandemic was a factor in her delaying seeking treatment. Breast cancer is, in fact, a very curable illness if its diagnosed early, but the unfortunate thing in Sarahs Case is that she was diagnosed with stage four Breast Cancer, where it had already spread to her body. And you can only survive it for as long as the treatments are helping and stalling the Breast Cancer from spreading any further. Sarah and the other four members of Girls Aloud went their separate ways in 2013, but not before theyd entertained fans for the best part of a decade. Sarah harding was a crucial part of the group. A woman who achieved so much in a Life Cut short at such a young age. The tokyo 2020 paralympics have ended with a dazzling closing ceremony, after 12 days of extraordinary sporting achievement. But, as with the Tokyo Olympic Games which preceded it, the paralympics have been overshadowed by the pandemic. Our correspondent Rupert Wingfield hayes gave us his assessment. Well, i think in terms of the sporting achievement, these games will be seen as a success. We have seen tremendous sporting achievements over the last 12 days, Sports Experts say, on a level that we havent actually seen before at the paralympics. And so, i think it will be claimed by the government here, by the ioc, by the Olympic Movement in the paralympic movement that these games have been a tremendous success. On the other hand, they have come at a time when the Pandemic Injapan has really continued to spread very fast. And so, i think how it will be seen by People Injapan looking back in a month or in a year or in a few years time is still hard to say. But i think the questions that were there at the beginning, before the games started, still remain today as the games close, and those are why did they decide to go ahead with this in the middle of a pandemic . Why did the japanese government not move faster to get its population vaccinated before the olympics and the paralympics began . And a lot of japanese people consequently still feel very ambivalent about the whole thing. It was put very well, i think, in the financial times in an article yesterday, asking about prime Minister Suga why did he decide to risk the health of the nation for a 25 Billion event, the memory of which will be forgotten fairly quickly .

Sunday was a warm, sunny day for most, hot for some along the south coast. We saw temperatures peaking at 27 celsius in West Sussex thats 80 fahrenheit. We havent seen temperatures like that in england since the end ofjuly. Now, there was some cloud around, and you can see in the highland, the cloud thick enough for some rain, some of it heavy at times. And in fact, that Weather Front still continues to bring some outbreaks of rain as it moves its way steadily south into the north of england. It is weakening off as it bumps into this area of High Pressure, so a band of cloud and a few spots of rain towards dawn. A mild start for all, maybe some Mist And Fog lingering across South Wales and southwest england. But once that lifts, therell be plenty of sunshine for england and wales once again, and the temperatures are set to climb. Even a weak Weather Front will start to ease away and some sunshine comes through eastern England And Northeast scotland. A Light Breeze coming from a southerly direction. That means its driving up that warm, dry air, so temperatures peaking potentially once again at 27 degrees. Now, as we move out of monday into tuesday, will High Pressure influencing the story, and as the winds move around in a clockwise direction, well, that means that the Wind Direction is coming from a southeasterly, driving in this warm, dry airfrom the near continent. In actual fact, with a little bit more of the breeze around potentially on tuesday, thats going to break up that cloud. The sunshine is going to be fairly widespread right across the country, bar the exception perhaps for the western isles. Temperatures will be a little bit warmer in scotland, peaking at 25 celsius. We might see 28 or 29 somewhere across central or southern england. Now, as we move out of tuesday into wednesday, again, still plenty of warm, sunny weather, but there is the potential for a few sharp, thundery showers towards the end of the day to develop down into the southwest, tied into another area of low pressure. So, here, not quite as warm, but again, were still likely to see those temperatures peaking into the high 20s. That means that thursday will start to see a change as areas of low Pressure Move in off the atlantic, the Wind Direction changing once again and well see some outbreaks of rain. Now, not widespread, but it does mean that there will be a change as we move towards the end of the week. So, turning from warmer weather into Something Cooler with rain on thursday
