in the women's world cup. kit is guy had to go, reporting from madrid. when the spanish team lifted the world cup last sunday, it was a historic moment. but the way in which the national football federation president, luis rubiales, celebrated, has made the last few days bittersweet ones for spanish football. the controversial kiss he gave star strikerjenny hermoso has been hogging the headlines. after days of mounting pressure, luis rubiales had been expected to resign. but at an extraordinary general meeting of the football federation, he insisted the kiss was consensual, and he remains defiant. translation: is that so serious that i have to leave, _ while having done the bestjob for spanish football? do you really believe that i have to resign? well, i'm going to tell you something — i will not resign, i will not resign.

i will not resign. this was supposed to be a week when spain celebrated women's football, in the greatest ever achievement by its national team. but instead, all of that has been overshadowed by one man's behaviour, and the backlash against him. translation: ., . against him. translation: .. ., against him. translation: ., ., ., translation: the fact that a man would decide _ translation: the fact that a man would decide to _ translation: the fact that a man would decide to give _ translation: the fact that a man would decide to give you _ translation: the fact that a man would decide to give you a - translation: the fact that a man would decide to give you a kiss, i would decide to give you a kiss, even for just would decide to give you a kiss, even forjust a would decide to give you a kiss, even for just a few seconds, because he wants to, that is something that shouldn't even cross his mind. for her as a teenager, it is even more shocking. fin her as a teenager, it is even more shockina. , ., , her as a teenager, it is even more shockina. , ._ ., shocking. on thursday, world football's _ shocking. on thursday, world football's governing - shocking. on thursday, world football's governing body - shocking. on thursday, world football's governing body fifaj football's governing body fifa announced it was opening disciplinary proceedings against which would—be aloes. it verbal weakened his position. it is unclear whether he can indeed remain as president. —— against luis rubiales. it is unclear whether he can remain as president of the federation for much longer. let's take a look at some reaction we have been getting to what is happening in in spain. alexia putellas, who has been twice

chosen as best player in the world by fifa and the women's game, and as part of that winning squad, has just tweeted this. this is unacceptable, it is over, we view, college and hermoso. —— with you. that some of the reaction. what should we make of all of this, and that unequivocal message from who's who bls? let's speak to someone from the not for profit organisation women in football. there has been a little reaction, hasn't there, about what is happening in spain?— is happening in spain? would you make of all— is happening in spain? would you make of all of _ is happening in spain? would you make of all of it? _ is happening in spain? would you make of all of it? while, - is happening in spain? would you make of all of it? while, luis - make of all of it? while, luis rubiales's speech today was an absolute deplorable display. it was really frightening look inside the organisation, and really goes to affirm the various concerns that there have been with the federation, that have come out from the players over the last year, which started with the 15 players who wrote to him, and route to the federation to say that their mental and emotional,

mental and physical health were affected by various different events. today, we have seen inside that organisation, and we have seen a man stand up and publicly victim blame. he clearly has issues with understanding consent, and he has really demonstrated the controlling behaviour which those 15 players a year ago were complaining of. and as you are seeing today, it is a very, very dark day for spanish football. and you are starting to see a real swathe of support for the players themselves, against luis rubiales, including male players as well as female players. this is largely started from the women's game, but it is really spreading out an hour, and the pressure is really on, as if it wasn't already, when he was under a fifa investigation, and had been told by his own prime minister to not... ., , told by his own prime minister to not... . ,., ”i told by his own prime minister to not... . ,., .,y �* told by his own prime minister to not... . .,y �* not... that his apology wasn't good enou . h. not. .. that his apology wasn't good enough- talk— not... that his apology wasn't good

behind closed doors, and this particular dreadful situation is really raising awareness of it. and now, we need to look at what we need to do to make football a more inclusive environment for women. lisa, it is good to talk to you. lisa, it is good to talk to you. lisa, the director of women in football. thank you so much for taking the time to speak to us. in russia, the kremlin says it's a "complete lie" that it was involved in the plane crash which is presumed to have killed the head of the wagner mercenary group, yevgeny prigozhin. president putin's spokesman, dmitry peskov, said discussion of the incident should be — in his words — "guided only by facts". mr prigozhin was on the passenger list of a private jet that came down near moscow on wednesday. but his death has not been confirmed. earlier, i spoke to moscow correspondent will vernon for more on this. there was the kremlin conference call today, this is a conference call with russian journalists and foreign journalists based in moscow. it happens most days here in moscow. it hasn't happened for about a week,

so it was the first one today since that plane crash near moscow that reportedly killed yevgeny prigozhin. and i asked the kremlin spokesman, dmitry peskov, what was his reaction to all these accusations, mostly from western officials, that it was the kremlin behind the plane crash that reportedly killed yevgeny prigozhin. this is what he told me, he said that it was a complete lie and that when we talk about this issue, we should be guided only by facts. we do not have many facts at the moment. the facts need to be clarified during the official investigation, which is being carried out now. so, in some ways echoing some of those comments that president putin made on russian television last night. he also urged people to await the results of the official investigation. he also, as you remember, expressed condolences to the families of those killed in the plane crash and also paid

tribute to yevgeny prigozhin but stopped short of unequivocally confirming that the wagner boss was killed in that plane crash. so, the kremlin spokesman today echoing president putin but also going further when asked by the bbc specifically about those accusations that it was the kremlin that was behind that, and a very firm denial from the kremlin spokesman there. i think we can listen to what the spokesperson from the kremlin said. let's have a quick listen. translation: in the west, of course, the speculation comes _ from a certain angle. it's all a complete lie. of course, when we talk about this issue, we should be guided only by facts. we don't have many facts at the moment. the facts need to be clarified during the official investigation, which is being carried out now. the president yesterday spoke about this. he said he's waiting for the results of the investigation, which will be completed in the near future and we will learn the details.

will, i think it's fair to say that some people consider russia's relationship with facts to be quite an interesting one. that's right. i'm sure this will convince almost nobody. if we're talking about those people of course who suspect that it was the kremlin, because if you watch russian television, obviously, there is no mention whatsoever of the possibility that, possibly, russian authorities, russian security services were behind this. on russian television, the message very much is that... well, it's pretty factual, actually. there was a plane crash, officials are looking into it, and that's about as far as it goes. but you're right, the kremlin doesn't have a great track record on this. whenever they are accused of almost anything, be it state doping of athletes, be it poisoning opponents abroad, poisoning the opposition leader alexei navalny, the list goes on. committing war crimes in ukraine.

of course, the kremlin tactic, the classic answer to all that is always deny, deny, deny, and that's exactly what they've done today. that was our man in moscow, will vernon. energy prices in england, wales and scotland are set to fall. the price cap for bills — that's the cost per unit of energy — for millions of households is set by the regulator, ofgem. the new — lower — price cap will apply from from october — though bills will still be higher than in the winter of 2021. the drop is because of lower wholesale gas prices, but prices will still be higher than they were two years ago. the chief executive of the energy regulater ofgem, jonathan brearley, explained why the price cap is coming down. what we do as a regulator is we look at the costs that the energy companies need to spend to get

the energy their customers need, and we make sure, through ourformulae, that that is reasonably reflected in the prices that they pay. and so, in essence, the price cap is a maximum that companies can charge, to make sure that they are not charging unfair prices over and above that. now, what we are announcing today is a £150 drop in that cap. now, right now, that applies to most households, and of course, for everyone, that will be welcome relief. and this is a step in the right direction, but we all need to recognise that, although that cap has come down, this is still much higher than prices pre—202i, when the gas crisis hit. and that is simply because we have a much tighter international market. the price of gas and price of electricity are still much higher than they used to be, and that is unfortunately reflected in our bills. are business correspondence mark ashdown explained why the price cap is happening, and what it means for customers. ofgem set this cap. they did used to do it every six months. then because of the wholesale gas

price jumping all over the place they started doing it every three months instead. from october, it will come down to £1923 a year. that saves the typical bill payer about £150 a year. not much on your monthly bill, but it is a milestone. it is the first time since april last year that it has come down below that £2000 mark. in terms of your bill, it is made up of two parts. the standing charge, what the supplier charges you just to hook everything up. that will go up with inflation, but this is the average amount people use, the unit price. it affects 29 million households across england, scotland and wales. it worked a tiny bit differently in northern ireland. in terms of affordability, it is about £500 or £600 less than last winter. but remember, those government subsidies, that universal help for all, everyone got money off their bill, adding up to £400 over six months. that has ended now as well. you might not see it change much in terms of affordability. it is now double where it was back in april 2021.

and charities are talking about so many people struggling with their bills and the cost of living. what advice is there out there? this is the big worry. these are the summer months, when everyone uses a bit less energy. they are saying that people are already in arrears, to the tune of £1,700 on average. so, winter could be even harder with more people taking out loans and credit cards to pay for their bills. universal government support has finished. there will still be help for about three million of the most vulnerable households. the advice is, if you are struggling, get in touch with your supplier. the regulator, ofgem, are pushing suppliers to give more help to people. there are slight changes to prepayment meters, so people will pay a bit less. the government will still be providing help for about 3 million of the most vulnerable households through their winter home discount. the best thing you can do though is be energy smart. look at your bill, see how much you are using. these average figures assume you use

11,500 kilowatt hours of gas and 2,700 kilowatts for electricity. so, look at how much you are using and see if you can cut down. the worry is that it will become difficult in the winter. analysts are expecting these bills to stay where they are, potentially until the end of the decade. that is mark ashdown from the business unit add to the bbc. our business unit add to the bbc. our business correspondence. around the world and across the uk, you are watching bbc news. now, let's go christmas is making headlines. a drink—driver who killed a cyclist and hid his body in an industrial estate has been sentenced to prison. he left tony parsons to die on the a22 in 2017. he and his twin robert lee to head mr parson's body, and his remains were not found for three years. there has been warnings that the asylum system is facing unsustainable pressure, after the course had nearly doubled in the year to nearly £4 billion. the prime

minister, who has made stopping small boats one of his top five priorities, said that the costs were unacceptable. home office aside and spending rose by £1.25 million in the year 2022 to 2023. travellers will face major disruption this bank holiday weekend, as rail workers across england are due to walk out on saturday. some 20,000 rmt union members at 14 rail companies are striking as part of a long—running dispute over their pay. you are live with me, and you are watching bbc news. in the us — donald trump has become the first former president to have his mugshot taken. the photograph was released after mr trump was formally charged with election interference in the state of georgia. he's one of 19 people accused of racketeering and attempting to overturn the state's election result in 2020. he denies 13 charges. he was among more than half of his co—dependence to hand himself in

before friday's deadline. —— co—dependent. mr trump was quick to post the image on social media — as part of his campaign for the republican presidential nomination. he remains the frontrunner. from atlanta, our north america correspondent sean dilley sent this report. a snapshot in history. this is the first mug shot ever taken of anyone accused of committing crimes as us president. it's not the first time donald trump has been booked, but in his three other criminal cases, he's been excused photographing. he is, after all, one of the most recognisable people on the planet. donald trump entered the jail house just after 7:30pm local time. he was technically in custody for less than half an hour, released on a $200,000 bond. what has taken place here is a travesty ofjustice. we did nothing wrong. i did nothing wrong. and everybody knows it. i've never had such support. and that goes with the other ones too. what they are doing is election interference. they are trying to interfere

with an election. there has never been anything like it in our country before. this is their way of campaigning. fulton county sheriff said donald trump would be treated like any other prisoner, but if you look over my shoulder here, you can see the security operation is huge. police vehicles, helicopters, drones for blocks around the jail. part of that is because he is a former president. part of that is down to the protesters and counter protesters, donald trump supporters among those who believe in the face of all of the evidence to the contrary thatjoe biden lost the last election. for these trump supporters, it is all part of a sinister plot to rob him of the white house. the rights of americans are being stripped away. today is one of the most obvious versions of it going on. putting a former president in jail. he firmly believes, and we do too, that the election was not fair, was not transparent. it is a lack of integrity. if donald trump was lying

on the beach right now, l on his beach, playing golf, this wouldn't be _ happening behind us. how do you know that? i know it for a fact. how? because i'm an intelligent person. how will history remember donald trump? as a criminal, and hopefully a convicted criminal. if, for some reason, he gets to be president because the dumb people in this country who are not using their brain cells elect him, i am going to fight against it for the next four years. i am hoping this gets recorded in history. i am hoping this is one of the last times we have to hear from this individual and the people that he represents. but i am not sure it will be. this will be a day america remembers. the first of a kind photograph destined for museum walls and the history books. sean dilley, bbc news in fulton county, georgia. lets speak to our correspondent barbara usher, who is in atlanta for

us. a pretty amazing image there, that was very quickly shared on social media by the former president. social media by the former president-— social media by the former resident. , ., , president. yes, that is right. he and his campaign _ president. yes, that is right. he and his campaign are _ president. yes, that is right. he and his campaign are going - president. yes, that is right. he and his campaign are going to i president. yes, that is right. he - and his campaign are going to make the most of this moment. you saw the face that he photographed, a very stern, sort of menacingly glaring show of strength. something that is very important to him. it has become an emblem of the campaign, along with the slogan no surrender. as you said, it was put on social media almost immediately, and it is also being used for fund almost immediately, and it is also being used forfund raising —— fundraising. so we expect to hear a lot of that rhetoric as the campaign unfolds. but i don't think this is an expense mr trump wanted. he has managed to avoid having a mug shot up managed to avoid having a mug shot up until now, even though he has been indicted on criminal charges in four different cases now. he is potentially facing serious jail time, and i think that this experience, more than any of the others, will have brought home to

him that this is a criminal case. he did get as much or taken, but more than that, he was booked in a jail, a notorious jail that is being investigated for unsafe and unsanitary conditions. he now has an inmate number. in this moment is now going to be captured for the rest of time. but as you mentioned, his campaign is promoting it, saying it will go down in history as a symbol of america's defiance against tyranny. i think those of his opponents would say it is a symbol that should go down in history as an example of someone who is not above the law. ., ,., , example of someone who is not above the law. ., , , example of someone who is not above the law. , ,., example of someone who is not above the law. , , ., the law. nobody is above the law. and et, the law. nobody is above the law. and yet. his _ the law. nobody is above the law. and yet, his campaign _ the law. nobody is above the law. and yet, his campaign goes - the law. nobody is above the law. and yet, his campaign goes on. i the law. nobody is above the law. j and yet, his campaign goes on. in many ways, people are saying it will be bolstered by this.— be bolstered by this. well, his campaign _ be bolstered by this. well, his campaign in — be bolstered by this. well, his campaign in the _ be bolstered by this. well, his campaign in the republican i be bolstered by this. well, his- campaign in the republican primary has certainly been bolstered by it. there is no question. he has been getting more support in the polls, after each indictment, and so, i think that we can assume that that will continue to go on, because it

is very much part of his message that he is experiencing a political witchhunt, he is being persecuted by the liberal left in washington, the washington establishment is out to get him, that sort of feeds into conservative resentment of washington. it feeds into personal feelings that many of those polled said, he stands up for people like me and fights for people like me. all of this plays into that message, and so, i think in terms of republican voters, this will help him, probably, not hinder him. but thatis him, probably, not hinder him. but that is not related question of how we get into the white house. the question is the general election, whether there are enough americans who would vote for him, including independence and swing voters, and so on, and the polls... although they are reasonably close between him and the incumbentjoe biden, they do shows that this could be a disadvantage for him. it is something that we will have to see how it plays out when and if the trial actually get you started, before the election, what sort of evidence there is, and how the

testimony is presented. it is an unprecedented situation, so nobody knows except me how it will play out. 2, ., knows except me how it will play out. ., ., ~ knows except me how it will play out. 1, ., ., ~ i., , . out. barbara, thank you very much indeed for — out. barbara, thank you very much indeed for that. _ out. barbara, thank you very much indeed for that. barbara _ out. barbara, thank you very much indeed for that. barbara usher- out. barbara, thank you very much indeed for that. barbara usher in l indeed for that. barbara usher in atlanta. more breaking news now for you. a police officer in nottinghamshire is in a serious conidtion after being hit by a train as he tried to help a distressed man on the tracks. the events happened on thursday night in the village of balderton. that is 20 miles away from the city of nottingham in nottinghamshire. what is the latest? this of nottingham in nottinghamshire. what is the latest?— what is the latest? this is in the midlands of— what is the latest? this is in the midlands of the _ what is the latest? this is in the midlands of the uk, _ what is the latest? this is in the midlands of the uk, and - what is the latest? this is in the midlands of the uk, and as - what is the latest? this is in the midlands of the uk, and as you | what is the latest? this is in the - midlands of the uk, and as you say, bolton is a small town just to the north—east are nottingham. —— balderton. the police say they were caught there just pop or seven o'clock last night to report the very distressed man on the track. it is not clear exactly what the sequence of events is, but the substrate to help that man, and at some point, he was struck by a
