association refuses to quit over giving a player an unsolicited kiss on the mouth. the kremlin says allegations that the wagner boss yevgeny prigozhin was killed on its orders are a "complete lie". and energy bills in england, scotland and wales are set to fall from october — under a new price cap. after his arrest in georgia — donald trump becomes the first former us president to have his mugshot taken. he insists he's done nothing wrong. hello, i'm sarah campbell. welcome to verified live, 3 hours of breaking stories, and checking out the truth behind them. we start in spain, where pressure is building on luis rubiales, the head

of the country's football federation, who today said he will not resign, despite an outpouring of criticism for his behaviour at the women's world cup. mr rubiales sparked outrage for an unsolicited kiss on the mouth ofjennifer hermoso — a player with the womens�* national team. it happened in the moments following spain's victory at the women's world cup. in the past half—hour, jennifer hermoso�*s world cup winning teammate — and 3 time ballon d'or winner — alexia putellas posted a message on social media — saying: "this is unacceptable. "it's over. "with you, jenni hermoso." despite the outrage, mr rubiales has remained defiant and has shown no sign of backing down. our correspondent guy hedgecoe

reports from spain. 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 remained 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, and 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: the fact that a man

i would decide to give you a kiss, l 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. on thursday, world football's governing body fifa announced it was opening disciplinary proceedings against mr rubiales. it further weakened his position. it is unclear whether he can remain as president of the federation for much longer. what a day. it's fair to say, that we were expecting luis rubiales to resign, but he is not expected to do that. ., ,., , . ., that. the reason we expected him to resin is that. the reason we expected him to resign is because _ that. the reason we expected him to resign is because that _ that. the reason we expected him to resign is because that is _ that. the reason we expected him to resign is because that is the - resign is because that is the message we got from his entourage, and that is what everybody expected, because he has two days left in the job, and that is the extraordinary thing. but he wants to say goodbye,

before he gets pushed by the government, and i can expend to you by very quickly. by saying, you know what, i didn't do anything wrong. those apologies, i didn't really mean them. it was a consensual case, even though mean them. it was a consensual case, even thouthenny had marceau already said that wasn't the case. —— jennifer already said that wasn't the case. ——jennifer hermoso. already said that wasn't the case. —— jennifer hermoso. and already said that wasn't the case. ——jennifer hermoso. and he blames feminism and the directors of newspapers, everybody else but him. it is not our fault, newspapers, everybody else but him. it is not ourfault, and newspapers, everybody else but him. it is not our fault, and what we all consider, the majority in spain, a disgusting behaviour and he should have resigned. disgusting behaviour and he should have resigned-— have resigned. extraordinary. and what is the _ have resigned. extraordinary. and what is the reaction _ have resigned. extraordinary. and what is the reaction been - have resigned. extraordinary. and what is the reaction been in - have resigned. extraordinary. andl what is the reaction been in spain? we know that two of her team—mates have come out in support of her and a male player now has also come out and said he will quit the national men's team over the refusal to resign. so, there is a real groundswell building against him. it is the spanish me too. and out of really bad things, very good things

can come off. players were in the world cup, going to write a statement that is going to be published, and it will be signed by historic figures of the women's national side. everybody is saying enough is enough. it is time to change things. the government wants to do that, and the way to basically do that is that the political arm in sport, the superior council of sports, will put her official complaints to the highestjudicial place in sport. they will basically ask for the removal of luis rubiales. what happened straightaway, is that if that get investigated, the removal is automatic, and could happen in a day or two, and after that, there is no comeback from luis will be others. but it is notjust luis rubiales, did you see the pictures of everybody around him clapping every word that he said? the federation is corrupt and needs to change. all

these people were clapping because they depend on the money that luis rubiales himself determines where it goes. he has been increasing the budget of the federation massively, and has been giving money around all these guys, mostly men, were clapping because they want to survive and keep getting that money for their federations or their own pockets. so, it is the system. the system that is wrong. find pockets. so, it is the system. the system that is wrong.— pockets. so, it is the system. the system that is wrong. and we were seeinu the system that is wrong. and we were seeing the pictures _ system that is wrong. and we were seeing the pictures you _ system that is wrong. and we were seeing the pictures you were - system that is wrong. and we were | seeing the pictures you were talking about people applauding, including the women's coach, and there were other issues in the run—up to the women's world cup itself, between the team and the coach. can women's world cup itself, between the team and the coach.— women's world cup itself, between the team and the coach. can you link these together? _ the team and the coach. can you link these together? absolutely. - the team and the coach. can you link these together? absolutely. it - the team and the coach. can you link these together? absolutely. it is - these together? absolutely. it is all part of the same thing, and basically, the players are saying it is notjust basically, the players are saying it is not just a basically, the players are saying it is notjust a matter, that's for instance, just before england in the european championships, there is no video analysis. it is notjust that, but also the fact that generally, they are surrounded by people that do not get it. this includes the national coach. the national coach, who hopes for the first time from luis rubiales, that he had

renewed... the president of the federation said, i hope you don't mind me saying this, but i will renew your contract, and you will own... and a pity figure there, which i think was i own... and a pity figure there, which i think wasi million own... and a pity figure there, which i think was i million euros. —— he put a figure there. it is basically about them trying to back themselves into a corner. i don't know this is double change, but certainly, the faces in the next few days will change. find certainly, the faces in the next few days will change.— days will change. and am i right in thinkin: days will change. and am i right in thinking that _ days will change. and am i right in thinking that spain _ days will change. and am i right in thinking that spain is _ days will change. and am i right in thinking that spain is looking - days will change. and am i right in thinking that spain is looking to i thinking that spain is looking to potentially host the world cup in 2030? how does this all feed and, as a reflection of the spanish game, and do you think other countries will be looking and saying that spain has a problem? because, as the sanish me spain has a problem? because, as the spanish me too. _ spain has a problem? because, as the spanish me too, it _ spain has a problem? because, as the spanish me too, it is _ spain has a problem? because, as the spanish me too, it is an _ spain has a problem? because, as the spanish me too, it is an opportunity i spanish me too, it is an opportunity to go beyond football, and to say, you do not understand. this is not equality. you are talking the wrong way and using the wrong words. you live in a different world. you're absolutely right. 2030 is a world cup that spain wants to host of morocco and portugal, and it is in a good place to do so. and it has been

done by this federation, you have to say that. but now, it will receive an impulse, especially if the government manages to get rid of luis rubiales, and the people does come in get it, in the bigger sense of the word, and also to continue with the good work that has been put in on that. , , , ,, in on that. very briefly, in your oinion, in on that. very briefly, in your opinion. came _ in on that. very briefly, in your opinion, came luis _ in on that. very briefly, in your opinion, came luis rubiales i in on that. very briefly, in your- opinion, came luis rubiales survive this? ihla opinion, came luis rubiales survive this? ., . ., . ., . ., . this? no chance! no chance. the government _ this? no chance! no chance. the government has _ this? no chance! no chance. the government has said, _ this? no chance! no chance. the government has said, even - this? no chance! no chance. the government has said, even the l government has said, even the federation will get rid of him, we will. that's micro if the federation will. that's micro if the federation will get rid of him, we will. goad will get rid of him, we will. good to talk to you. _ will get rid of him, we will. good to talk to you. great _ will get rid of him, we will. good to talk to you. great to - will get rid of him, we will. good to talk to you. great to get - will get rid of him, we will. good to talk to you. great to get your| to talk to you. great to get your insights. we will be across all the developers of the story, and we will speak to the chief executive of the organisation women in football. do stay with us.

in russia, questions continue to swirl around what exactly happened to the wagner chief yevgeny prigozhin. the kremlin says that it's a "complete lie" that it was involved in the plane crash which is presumed to have killed mr prigozhin and all nine other people on board — just two months after mr prigozhin led a failed uprising. 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. here's dmitry peskov speaking earlier. translation: in the west, of course, this 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 nearfuture and we will learn the details. with more on this, i am joined by bbc russia editor

vitaliy shevchenko in london. hello to you, the tally. we heard is very clearly there that russia, the kremlin is saying that it definitely wasn't a state—sponsored assassination. what else do we know, almost 48 hours on, about this plane crash? ~ ., , ., almost 48 hours on, about this plane crash? ~ . , ., ., , almost 48 hours on, about this plane crash? ~ ., , ., ., , ~ ., crash? while, as far as we know, official investigators _ crash? while, as far as we know, official investigators are - crash? while, as far as we know, official investigators are still - official investigators are still looking out of the plane. earlier today, they recovered a wing and wheels from the plane, some distance from the actual crash site. but the biggest piece of the jigsaw that everyone is looking for is any sort of official confirmation of whether yevgeny prigozhin was in fact on board the plane. as we have heard from dmitry peskov, the presidential spokesman, he was asked at his call with journalists this morning whether he could confirm or deny

that yevgeny prigozhin was on board the plane. and he said, we are still investigating it, and it takes time. so, we haven't got that official confirmation. but dmitry peskov and vladimir putin yesterday, and various social media accounts associated with the wagner group, they all spoke of yevgeny prigozhin in the past tense, and the social media accounts have been carrying reports which are best described as obituaries across russia. there are memorials to the wagner group, with people bringing flowers to them. so, there appears to be a mounting consensus that he is no longer with us. ~ ., consensus that he is no longer with us, ~ ., ., consensus that he is no longer with us. ~ . ., , ., consensus that he is no longer with us. what do you make to the line cominu us. what do you make to the line coming out _

us. what do you make to the line coming out today _ us. what do you make to the line coming out today that _ us. what do you make to the line coming out today that the - us. what do you make to the line | coming out today that the russian paramilitary groups which presumably includes the wagner group, will have to swear allegiance to the russian flag? we were talking yesterday about what happens to the wagner group now, if yevgeny prigozhin is in fact dead. you were talking then about the troops being assimilated into the wider russian army. do you see this as along that stage? while, the timin: see this as along that stage? while, the timing of — see this as along that stage? while, the timing of this _ see this as along that stage? while, the timing of this presidential- the timing of this presidential decree is interesting. it now requires volunteers joining the war, the special military operation in ukraine, and requires them to swear an oath of allegiance to the russian flag, the russian federation, the russian constitution. but frankly, it is probably little more than a formality, and it doesn't really answer the question of what happens to the wagner group now. as far as we know, which is something that president putin said earlier, this

year. it was funded by the state, so, unless the wagner group fighters joins the russian official army, it is hardly likely that they will be paid by the states, so it is fair to assume that this is probably the end of wagner as we know it, especially if it is true that its top commanders have been killed. —— paid by the state. the question now is what happens to wagner's operations in africa, which, as we know, had a slightly different source of funding, for example, gold mining operations in the central african republic, sudan and oil and gas operations in countries like syria and libya. so, that is a slightly bigger?. but at this moment in time,

everybody is waiting to hear official statements about the fate official statements about the fate of yevgeny prigozhin. —— a slightly bigger question. dmitry peskov, the presidential spokesman, was asked about the future of wagner act as morning call today, and said he didn't know. morning call today, and said he didn't know— morning call today, and said he didn't know. ., ~ , ., ., ., . didn't know. thank you for that. we will have to — didn't know. thank you for that. we will have to leave _ didn't know. thank you for that. we will have to leave it _ didn't know. thank you for that. we will have to leave it there. - didn't know. thank you for that. we will have to leave it there. around l will have to leave it there. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. let's take a look at some of the other stories making the news today. a drink—driver who killed a charity cyclist and then hid his body in a shallow grave on a remote scottish estate has been sentenced to 12 years in prison. alexander mckellar was speeding when he hit 63—year—old tony parsons, and left him to die on the a82 in 2017. mckellar and his twin brother robert later hid mr parsons' body. his remains were not found for three years. rishi sunak has warned the uk's asylum system is facing unsustainable pressure after the cost almost

smith has more details. she has been gauging opinions at a theme park. not many of us are prepared to face this autumn head on. thomas and jay are brothers, and like so many, they've been struggling to keep the bills under control in their homes, but in different ways. jay runs a barber shop, and he and andrea pay for their energy via direct debit. we're still in arrears, but we're going to get back on top of it. ready for this winter. so that's all we can do. yeah. thomas and his partner jenny are both nurses, and they're on a pre—payment meter. it's going to be the same this year. obviously, we are worried about it and we're thinking ahead. but we've got to sort of plan financially, especially with the mortgages on top. i mean, we're on a good wage, me and my partner. so i feel sorry for the people

who are getting paid minimum wage. that's the people who i'm sort of thinking about coming into this winter. today's announcement limits the gas and electricity unit prices, which energy companies are allowed to charge. almost all households in britain and the cap is going down, but not by much. so, a year and a half ago, people were paying around £1200 a yearfor their bills. but then gas per unit in the market was about 50% of the sort of prices we're seeing this winter. and that's why prices still remain high. because we're not getting that extra government support this year, that £66 in monthly payments, despite the small drop in price, what we're all paying out this winter is going to feeljust as tough as last year. labour say the government isn't doing enough to help while costs are still so high. but the government say they are still giving extra to those struggling most. pensioners are receiving an extra £300 this winter alongside their winter fuel payment, and everyone on universal credit is receiving £900 in direct cost of living support. because i want to make sure the most vulnerable in our society do

get that extra help. but campaigners say that's not enough to help those most in need. we are really concerned about that. we know that single parents are already very worried. they are using credit to pay for basics like food. we know that the complexities around energy and increasing energy debt is going to make a really complex situation a whole lot worse. there are lots of useful tips about how to keep energy bills down in your home on the bbc news tackling it together pages, because we can't breathe easy. because we can't breathe easy yet. another price rise is still on the cards when the regulator decides the new rate forjanuary. bbc news at gulliver's world in warrington. and we will be speaking to someone who really— and we will be speaking to someone who really understands the challenges of living in fuel poverty

iaten _ 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. 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. our 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

the system here. two of the charges is facing are about when he was in office, the case relating to january the 6th, and the one relating to georgia. but the difference is with the georgia one, it is a state case, so they will allow cameras in the courtroom, in the way that they won't allow for the federal case. so, the expectation is that we will see donald trump arrange live on camera for the first time. 50. see donald trump arrange live on camera for the first time.- camera for the first time. so, in our camera for the first time. so, in your role _ camera for the first time. so, in your role as _ camera for the first time. so, in your role as a — camera for the first time. so, in your role as a historian, - camera for the first time. so, in your role as a historian, you i camera for the first time. so, in j your role as a historian, you can tell as this would potentially... we are obviously a long way away, but it is possible for someone to run for office from prison? it is happens not once but twice. absolutely. it happened within a 70 year span twice, the first time was of eugene dabbs, a socialist who ran five times for the presidency, and he ran as a prisoner. he was actually campaigning as prisoner 9653, and again, that was part of his campaign. the highest you got was 36% of the boat, but he was in

prison for violating the sedition act, part of the espionage act, speaking out about world war i at the time. very different circumstances in 1982, where you have an infamous mangled linden lab roach, who had run a times, another prolific campaigner, and third—party candidates. we ran a times between 1996 and 2004. he was injailfor five years, he was convicted for 15 and served five. it was crimes of mail fraud. and served five. it was crimes of mailfraud. he had really built to supporters, out of a lot of money, to enrich himself. the only good 0.02%, but he is someone who was interesting, in the sense that he really was a conspiracy is to before that became popularised as we now know today. it is so much part of the hyper partisan ship that we see in america is a continual struggle. it is fascinating, and we have donald trump facing four indictments. whether or not he obviously denies all the charges

against... 91 charges in total against... 91 charges in total against him, but the calendar is crucial to all of this. in your opinion, will any of these cases be heard before that presidential election next year? i heard before that presidential election next year?— heard before that presidential election next year? i think that the chance, election next year? i think that the chance. as — election next year? i think that the chance. as you _ election next year? i think that the chance, as you said, _ election next year? i think that the chance, as you said, we _ election next year? i think that the chance, as you said, we have i election next year? i think that the chance, as you said, we have four| chance, as you said, we have four indictments, 91 charges. i think that absolutely, we will see something. even though new york was the first want to come through as an indictment, to be charged, i think that you see the sort of prosecutors tend to work with each other when it comes to the calendar, so you could see changes in terms of which case comes first in terms of priorities. each case has its own complications as well. take the documents case in florida. you have a lot of sensitive material. ., ., ., ,, , material. doctor laura smith, it is lovel to material. doctor laura smith, it is lovely to have _ material. doctor laura smith, it is lovely to have a _ material. doctor laura smith, it is lovely to have a bit _ material. doctor laura smith, it is lovely to have a bit of _ material. doctor laura smith, it is lovely to have a bit of a _ material. doctor laura smith, it is lovely to have a bit of a history i lovely to have a bit of a history lesson. absolutely fascinating. thank you so much forjoining us. stay with us here on bbc news. there's plenty more to come.
