what about us public opinion, david? well, it is interesting. support for remaining in afghanistan has been higher actually amongst democrats than it has republicans, but americans, of course, do not worry too much generally about foreign matters and i think a lot of people here have become somewhat ambivalent to what is going on overseas, especially given the problems that this country has experienced by itself domestically, in recent months and years. i think that there are signs anyway that a lot of people simply really do not care now and many would like to see the troops come home. and of course this all began at 9/11, didn't it so many years ago? indeed, yes, going in after 9/11 attacks and seeking to basically root out 0sama bin laden, to combat the taliban, which of course us forces were successful in doing but now they have regrouped and president biden made the point today or conceded at least, that the taliban is as strong now as it was when the mission began, as far as the us was concerned. he said, numerically of course, that the af

for wednesday, we still have the high with us. again, an indicator that to the east of england, just enough instability sits in the atmosphere for us to see some thunderstorms breaking out, perhaps earlier in the day, midday into the afternoon on wednesday. bit more cloud across the northeast of england, that, i think, will linger, actually, for north sea coasts. so cooler for the likes of newcastle and hull. you can still see plenty of heat elsewhere, mid—to—high—20s widely, those temperatures. and the extreme heat warning stands for those parts of england and wales on into thursday. friday is a different story — the temperatures are easing back, fresher air is arriving. where is it coming from? it's getting pulled in around an area of low pressure that will be starting to approach the southwest of the uk. overnight friday can they may start to throw in some showers, certainly it looks like there will be plenty of those circulating around in time for the weekend. hello, i'm ros atkins, this is outside source. after 16 mon

temperatures for many of us only in the high teens. this is bbc news with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. amazon is fined almost $900 million — the biggest fine ever — for breaking the eu's data protection laws. day eight of the olympics is kicking off in tokyo. we'll tell you what's coming up as the games reach their halfway stage. the tax returns of former president donald trump will be handed to congress — after a ruling by the us justice department. the cost of covid for pregnant women in brazil — the bbc has exclusive footage of a maternity ward treating women with the virus. turkey calls on help from neighbouring coutries — as it tackles wildfires on its southern coast.

let us all take a moment to remember all those friends and loved ones who are no longer with us, in particular because of the covid—19 pandemic. there was reflection, but the theme, too, was "moving forward". music. and a tribute to how athletes have had to adapt to 12 months of lockdown. at the front of it, japan's arisa tsubata, a boxer and a nurse who missed out on the games when her qualifier was cancelled. japan's flag, too, was brought on by key workers, waved on in the stands by around 1000 dignitaries. tokyo were last host for the games in 1964, when trees were planted. the wood's being used for these 0lympic rings. and so more than 200 nations converged on a city in a state of emergency. this games is a year late. the ioc�*s called it "the light at the end of a tunnel". the pandemic forced us apart. this separation made this tunnel so dark. but today, wherever in the world you may be, we are united in sharing this moment together. 0ver four hours, there was fun and, too, the sense of an 0lympics as a tv event. it's showtime. but tokyo's showpiece has come with the world still in a

it's going to be quite a mild night for most of us. now, by tomorrow, that low pressure is set to the east of us inside of the south—west, so, different distribution of the showers, more around southern and eastern areas circulating around that area of low pressure, but, equally, it's still low pressure, so there's going to be some sharp downpours further north and west, but, perhaps, here, some of the longer spells of sunshine. i think quite warm in the sunshine. of the longer spells of sunshine. now, the reason that we have got low pressure to the east of us is the jet stream has dived southwards, so that low pressure's developed across central parts of europe, it hangs around for much of the week, just drifting a bit further eastwards and allowing this ridge of high pressure, the azores high, to move in its place with some weak weather fronts in the north, but for tuesday, still the risk of a few lively downpours, particularly central and eastern areas close to that area of low pressure. wouldn't like to rule out some more persist

thanks forjoining us. after winning the hearts of brits across the country, emma raducanu's wimbledon has come to a sad conclusion. the 18—year—old was forced to retire in her last 16 match against ajla tomljanovic after a medical issue in the second set. joe wilson has this. emma raducanu's first lesson in when the second week was how to wait the practice courts in the afternoon, show court finally at 7:52pm and what we saw it looked like another example of remarkable composure. her opponent, top of the screen from australian ajla tomljanovic, is over a decade into her professional career. but look who was embracing the occasion. you could see how closely matched the players were every rally feeling tense. imagine being emma's mum. a 50 minute first set was settled like this. 6—4 to tomljanovic put in the second is at the tennis remained intense under the roof, requiring energy, demand concentration, everything. it became clear she was battling more than the score, medical timeout. nice deep breaths

with us? and, of course, we were the only g7 nation at the summit this summer to actually cut our budget. and, operationally, this saves lives. this money provide support for clean water, for polio vaccinations, for tackling hiv, and, of course, the critical humanitarian support in places like yemen, in syria and in libya. and those vacuums get filled either by extremists or, indeed, by other nations with very different agendas. if china or russia push in then they will pursue very, very different agendas — very difficult for us to get back in there. now it's time for a look at the weather. to ensure thundery downpours. that is what some of us are content with this afternoon. there are some sunny spells. if is essential, it will feel quite warm. you you'll certainly know about it. the greatest risk of disruption of these is in north wales, northern ireland, especially in the west, much of scotland away from the north—east. you can see bright colours showing up you can see bright colours sh

low pressure with us for the start of the week, hence that flooding rain in places. the low transfers out into continental europe, most of the thundery downpours are away the other side of the channel. but the low is close enough by to bring the threat of heavy showers towards the south east but generally, we have fewer, lighter showers, turning drier from the west, bit more sunshine coming through, so temperatures a little higher on tuesday. and it continues to dry out during wednesday as that rain pushes away. yes, we'll find a weak weather front arriving in the northwest, bringing more cloud, but otherwise dry and decent spells of sunshine. as a result, those temperatures up to 25 degrees. it won't get hot just yet, we have the high pressure building in towards the uk but this is where the air is coming from, more of a northerly breeze. but certainly an improvement as the week goes on. starting wet withflooding rains in places. from midweek onwards, much drier with sunshine and looks as though summer is coming home at last. this is bbc news, with the latest headli
