it's been used, yes. it has been used. that was actually on a newspaper — the one—cent rate at the time was for newspapers and the four—cent rate was for letters. right, yes, i can see it now. it's a little bit scruffy if you don't mind me saying. it's... it's had a hard life in some respects. i mean, you know, it's 1856, it's very old. obviously it was, it was used, it was sent on a newspaper and luckily, luckily it was kept and it was found and there begins it's very rich and colourful story of how it then ended up here. actually, today it arrived at stanley gibbons in the strand this afternoon. it has taken me a little bit by surprise, this, because my old headmaster who used to run the stamp club at school and sold me some quite expensive stamps always told me that a penny black or a penny red was the most expensive stamp in the world. not the most expensive. certainly, the penny black was the most well known. 60 million plus were actually printed, so there's actually quite a few that survived to this day. what m

finally, the us signed a deal with the militant group last year. agreeing to fully withdraw foreign forces. they are leaving amidst rising violence. this is one of the roads that leads out of kabul. in the province just beyond, the taliban are battling afghan government forces. that's how close the fighting is to the capital. battles are being fought in more than half of the country's provinces. hundreds are dying every week. thousands being displaced. every day, more areas are falling to the taliban. but the group says there is no violence. it told the bbc that hundreds of afghan soldiers are defecting to the taliban — a claim the government denies. from their political office in doha, a taliban spokesman also told me that residual foreign troops would be considered an occupying force. all foreign forces should withdraw from the country, whether they are a contractor, adviser or trainers. because they were a part of occupation. that's a violation. we will react. but that reaction will be based on the decision of our leadership. he said embassies

cancellation would have been the easy way for us. we could have drawn on the insurance that we had at the time and moved on to paris 202a. but in fact, cancellation was never an option for us. in order to arrive at this day today, we had to give confidence. the ioc never abandons the athletes. south africa have named their team for saturday's first test match against the british and irish lions. and captain siya kolisi is back after recovering from covid—19. the 2019 world cup—winning captain only rejoined the squad yesterday after ten days in isolation. the side includes 11 players who started the world cup final with fly—half handre pollard set to win his 50th cap. elswhere, a premier league footballer has been arrested on suspicion of child sex offences. the 31—year—old man, who has not been named for legal reasons, was detained on friday by greater manchester police. in a statement, the player's club confirmed he had been suspended and added it would "continue supporting the authorities with inquiries and would not be c

thank you forjoining us. stay with us here in bbc news, plenty more to come on the programme. good evening. it's been another hot day across most parts of the uk, and in northern ireland, it looks like records have been broken once again. 31.3 degrees recorded at castlederg in county tyrone this afternoon. that is a new provisional all—time record for northern ireland. the previous record, well, that was only set last saturday. things are set to change over the coming days because to this swirl of cloud here, an area of low pressure out in the atlantic. that'll be moving in our direction in time for the weekend, but in the shorter—term, it's just going to nudge up against this area of high pressure, strengthening the easterly wind. it is that that is pushing the heat westwards, so these areas still covered by a met office amber extreme heat warning — the south west of england, parts of the midlands, the southern half of wales and also northern ireland. high temperatures by day, but also those temperatures staying pretty high at night. those temperatures not dropping quic
