captured and kept captive by the Taliban, a hard-line Islamic | :00:24. | :00:29. | |
group that's been fighting US But after long negotiations he's | :00:30. | :00:32. | |
been released in exchange for five Afghan prisoners, and his | :00:33. | :00:37. | |
family can't wait to get him home. My name is Bowe Bergdahl. I was | :00:38. | :00:57. | |
born... For nearly five years, videos like this one released by the | :00:58. | :01:01. | |
Taliban were the only glimpse the world had off Bowe Bergdahl. He was | :01:02. | :01:06. | |
handed over to US special forces in Afghanistan yesterday, fit and well. | :01:07. | :01:10. | |
For his parents, a phone call from President Obama brought the news | :01:11. | :01:15. | |
that their long I -- ordeal was long and well. Sign at the | :01:16. | :01:21. | |
telecommunication words we heard this morning from the president. We | :01:22. | :01:29. | |

Qatar won the vote to become hosts back in 2010. | :02:09. | :02:13. | |
But now the Sunday Times newspaper claims it has got secret documents | :02:14. | :02:16. | |
that suggest former FIFA executive Mohammed Bin Hammam paid some | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
of the people voting to make sure they backed Qatar's bid. | :02:22. | :02:25. | |
Qatar and Bin Hamam have denied similar claims in the past. | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
But politicians say if it's true, the decision | :02:31. | :02:32. | |
on who hosts the tournament should be looked at again. | :02:33. | :02:40. | |
If the allegations prove to be true, the consequences are very | :02:41. | :02:46. | |
serious, and it begs the question as to whether we should rerun the whole | :02:47. | :02:51. | |

forced to give birth to the couple's The majority of people | :03:16. | :03:20. | |
in Sudan are Muslims. The country has had strict Islamic | :03:21. | :03:25. | |

because Meriam's dad was a Muslim, But she refused to change her faith | :03:31. | :03:33. | |

The UK's Prime Minister David Cameron criticised the decision too. | :04:03. | :04:07. | |
He said it was barbaric and out of step with the world today. | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
But last night there seemed to be a change of heart. | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
A senior official in Sudan told the BBC that Meriam would be | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
But until that happens, the pressure on Sudan to change | :04:17. | :04:21. | |

We beat them in the league cup in 2008 as well in the final there, so | :05:04. | :05:10. | |
historically, we are pretty good in finals against them. Getting to the | :05:11. | :05:15. | |

And some of the team explained what it's like to be up that high. | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
I usually can't hear anything else. I am so focused on one move at a | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
