Coming up this evening we look at the winners and losers in world cup qualifying as lionel messi fires argentina into next summers tournament. We speak to Northern Irelands Carl Frampton as he looks forward to his homecoming fight in belfast next month. And sir Bobby Charlton at 80 on his birthday we celebrate one of englands most iconic footballers. Good evening. Lets start with some breaking news, and the england all rounder ben stokes has apologised to katie price and her disabled son, harvey, after a video emerged of the england all rounder impersonating the pair. In the last hour he has released a statement on social media apologising to katie price and her son. He said in a statement he should never have done this, he is sorry, it was never my intention to offend harvey, katie or anyone else. He goes on to say he has written to them and offered to meet them in person with a view to getting behind their petition about
So really looking nice. Nahar was 15 when she rejected the advances of a teenage boy in bangladesh. Then one night, he came to her house and doused her in acid. After my attack, i started my life off. I had to go back to my studies, but now im more confident and i think i cannot change my face, but i can change my life. This is your dress, its beautiful. Sonali was just two weeks old when she was splashed with acid as she slept between her parents. That was over a dispute about land. Disfiguring a girl is seen as robbing her of her most valuable asset, her beauty. Bangladesh has made some progress, the government there has put restrictions on the sale of acid which has helped reduce the number of attacks to fewer than 100 every year.

Also in the past few minutes it has been confirmed that 82 buildings have failed those new fire tests for cladding. That includes these in salford. 47 of them are in local Authority Control run by housing associations. All the details of the findings of those particular tests have only just been released, just in the last few minutes. So our correspondents arejust reading few
Start to his debut and it got far better as they also followed. Perhaps it was time to shoot the wickets around. Enterjimmy anderson. The captain Faf Du Plessis out and three Modesty Mates also. Stuart broad getting a brilliant wicket on a brilliant day for england. A pretty special day and coming and we knew we wanted to try to push ourselves as hard as possible. Still pretty testing conditions at times and i thought it was outstanding. We always felt it would be pretty competitive in the game, so it is very hard when you have got guys at the end of year mark with the experience ofjimmy and stuart and they were pretty calm and stuart and they were pretty calm and guided me through the opening few overs and then the adrenaline to keep me going. More bad news for south africa because their fast bowler Vernon Philander is spending the night in hospital on a drip after missing large spells of the match so far with a stomach bug.
