football 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". donald trump protests his innocence, after becoming the first former us president to have his mugshot taken. hello, i'm sarah campbell, welcome to verified live, three hours of breaking stories, and checking out the truth behind them. ijust want i just want to bring you ijust want to bring you some breaking news we have this hour. this relates to that long running story regarding the british museum, and a number of thefts of artefacts from there. it'sjust and a number of thefts of artefacts from there. it's just been announced that hartwig fisher has announced he is stepping down from his position, with immediate effect. let me just redo his statement. it says, over the last few days, i have been reviewing in detail, the events

around the thefts from the british museum and the investigation into them. it is evidence that the british museum did not respond as, copperhead civilly as it should have donein copperhead civilly as it should have done in response to warnings in 2021. -- done in response to warnings in 2021. —— as comprehensively. responsibility for that failure must ultimately rest with the director. i also misjudged the remarks i made earlier this week about doctor grice l. i wish to express my sincere regret and withdraw those remarks. i have offered my resignation to the chairman of the trustees. just to reemphasise that, hartwig fisher, who is, or was the director of the british museum, has now resigned. resigned his position after the thefts that it it emerged that potentially thousands of artefacts had been stolen from the british museum. we will bring you any more as we get it. let's return to our

top story. we start in spain, where the head of the country's football federation has sparked outrage, insisting he will not resign over his behaviour at the women's world cup. luis rubiales gavejennifer hermoso, a player with the women's national team, an unsolicited kiss on the mouth. it happened moments after spain's victory in the women's world cup final. among those reacting to the statement from mr rubiales today was hermoso�*s world cup—winning team—mate and three—time ballon d'or winner alexia putellas. she posted a message on social media, saying: "this is unacceptable. "it's over. "with you, jenni hermoso." well, despite a wave of criticism, mr rubiales shows no sign of backing down. from madrid, guy hedgecoe sent this report. 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, mr 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, just 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, further weakening his position. it is unclear whether he can remain as president of the federation much longer. let's talk to pedro malabia sanchis, strategy director for liga f. that's the organisation that regulates female professional football in spain. hello to you, pedro. what is your reaction and the reaction of liga f to the very clear point of view from luis rubiales that he will not resign? luis rubiales that he will not resin? , .

don't need to say how the kiss was. everybody saw this. the only point was that the world saw our president, not our president but the president, not our president but the president of the federation, we knew how he was, but now the whole world knows how he is. the thing is that this is not spanish football. he was elected but he will be fired. these kind of people should not be in football and should not be in sport. when the whole world should be celebrating this big event that was the women's world cup, not only to spain, but for the whole women's football environment, once again, it is unacceptable. find football environment, once again, it is unacceptable.— is unacceptable. and what did you make of the _ is unacceptable. and what did you make of the pictures _ is unacceptable. and what did you make of the pictures from - is unacceptable. and what did you make of the pictures from the - make of the pictures from the meeting today, earlier, where luis rubiales was applauded by the room, applauded by those including the coach of the women's team? this is

said discussion of the incident should be — in his words — "guided only by facts". mr putin is rating for the results of the investigation into the crash, but will be ever know the facts? —— he is waiting. let's ask bill browder. he's the founder hermitage capital management, which until 2005 was the largest foreign investor in russia. and he's a leading campaigner against russian corruption. always good to talk to you. thank you for coming on the programme. your reaction to the events of the last two days�*s first of all, whenever the kremlin denies something, you should assume it is true. , , ., ., true. they denied shooting down an ace true. they denied shooting down an are 17, true. they denied shooting down an age 17. and — true. they denied shooting down an age 17. and they _ true. they denied shooting down an age 17, and they obviously - true. they denied shooting down an age 17, and they obviously did - true. they denied shooting down an age 17, and they obviously did it. i age 17, and they obviously did it. they denied boys in italy lit when young, with polonium in london, and obviously, they did it. they denied using doubletalk and salisbury, and the bisley did it. this could not be

a more obvious situation. yevgeny prigozhin was a rebel who challenged vladimir putin's power. people who do much, much less to putin end up either dead or injail. and he did the worst thing, which was basically trying to overthrow the regime. and for that, there is not a person that i know that would not have expected him to be dead. the only thing surprising in the story, and the whole story, is the fact that yevgeny prigozhin survived for two months before putin killed him. {iii months before putin killed him. of course, you are referring to the fills mutually back injune. after which, the fort was at the time that but it may putin had to come to some sort of agreement ordeal. —— the failed mutiny back injune. some sort of deal with yevgeny prigozhin, but obviously, that deal was never going to stick. 50.

but obviously, that deal was never going to stick-— going to stick. so, vladimir putin cannot forgive — going to stick. so, vladimir putin cannot forgive him. _ going to stick. so, vladimir putin cannot forgive him. the - going to stick. so, vladimir putin cannot forgive him. the reason i going to stick. so, vladimir putin l cannot forgive him. the reason for thatis cannot forgive him. the reason for that is that putin has been in power for 2h years now. he is a dictator. nobody is allowed to challenge him. and the way he has succeeded in staying in power, is by showing anybody that if you do anything that is a challenge to his power, or anything that is just loyal, bad things will happen to you and you will die. —— anything that is disloyal. that is the way he has gone about things. and he now had a person who challenged his power in the most profound and dangerous way. there is no chance he could just forgive him, because by doing so, whether yevgeny prigozhin was going to be around or not, somebody else would have come and said, you know what, it is not so dangerous any more. look, the let prigozhin off the hook. that is why, my opinion, vladimir putin had to do something. it isjust unusual that vladimir putin had to do something. it is just unusual that they would

have waited two months, because every day, during these two months, putin was looking weak. he was looking humiliated. and that is a very dangerous thing for a strongman dictator to look like. 50. very dangerous thing for a strongman dictator to look like.— dictator to look like. so, in your assessment. — dictator to look like. so, in your assessment, why _ dictator to look like. so, in your assessment, why do _ dictator to look like. so, in your assessment, why do you - dictator to look like. so, in your assessment, why do you think | dictator to look like. so, in your i assessment, why do you think you dictator to look like. so, in your - assessment, why do you think you did wait two months, if indeed, it turns out, as the kremlin are denying, that they had anything to do it, but if your assessment is true, why did they wait two months? i if your assessment is true, why did they wait two months?— if your assessment is true, why did they wait two months? i suspect that yevaen they wait two months? i suspect that yevgeny prigozhin — they wait two months? i suspect that yevgeny prigozhin was _ they wait two months? i suspect that yevgeny prigozhin was too _ they wait two months? i suspect that yevgeny prigozhin was too important j yevgeny prigozhin was too important to kill right away. he runs the private military company. wagner is involved in providing mercenaries in 17 different conflicts in africa. it means that effectively, this is the russian foreign policy in africa. they are also involved in syria, libya, venezuela, and i suspect that they had to do a bit of due diligence to figure out how they are going to replace him, or what they need to do, who they need to find. and i think that they also wanted to come up with a really spectacular way of getting rid of prigozhin,

which allowed them some plausible deniability, and so, two months is a long time from one perspective, which is a long time for putin to be humiliated. two months is not that long a time when it comes to planning a really spectacular assassination, which they did. find assassination, which they did. and we know that _ assassination, which they did. and we know that the investigators are at the sight of the plane crash as the moment. how much detail do you think we will ever learn about what actually happened?— actually happened? well, the russians control _ actually happened? well, the russians control the - actually happened? well, the - russians control the investigation. the russians have a history of deception, misinformation, cover—ups, etc. so, we will not learn much from what they tell us, but the one thing that is very different about russia than other places is that no matter what the government says, there isjust places is that no matter what the government says, there is just an incredibly leaky amounts of information coming from all different sources. and so, i think we are ultimately going to get so

much informationjust from nonofficial sources, that we will be able to say definitively what happened here over the next few weeks and months. bill. happened here over the next few weeks and months.— happened here over the next few weeks and months. bill, it is always aood to weeks and months. bill, it is always good to talk — weeks and months. bill, it is always good to talk to _ weeks and months. bill, it is always good to talk to you. _ weeks and months. bill, it is always good to talk to you. i _ weeks and months. bill, it is always good to talk to you. i just _ weeks and months. bill, it is always good to talk to you. i just wonder, l good to talk to you. i just wonder, as somebody who has yourself challenge the kremlin, do you worry for your safety? i challenge the kremlin, do you worry for your safety?— for your safety? i absolutely worry for your safety? i absolutely worry for my safety- _ for your safety? i absolutely worry for my safety. vladimir _ for your safety? i absolutely worry for my safety. vladimir putin - for your safety? i absolutely worry for my safety. vladimir putin has i for my safety. vladimir putin has written me with death and kidnapping, and they have made eight interpol arrest for me, they have just me around the world and threatened me, etc. putin has a very and she never forgives and never forgets. and so, it doesn't matter how long ago you cross putin, if you are on his list, you really have to watch your back. it are on his list, you really have to watch your back.— watch your back. it is really good to talk to you. — watch your back. it is really good to talk to you, bill. _ watch your back. it is really good to talk to you, bill. thank - watch your back. it is really good to talk to you, bill. thank you i watch your back. it is really good| to talk to you, bill. thank you for talking to us. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. let's look at some other stories making news.

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 doubled in a year, to nearly £4 billion. the prime minister, who has made stopping small boats one of his top five priorities, said the cost was "unacceptable". home office asylum spending rose by £1.85 billion in the year 2022 to 2023. travellers will be facing 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 1a rail companies are striking as part of a long—running dispute over pay. you're live with bbc news.

in the us, donald trump protested his innocence after becoming 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 overwhelming front runner. well, his supporters are already making t—shirts and mugs using mr trump's mugshot, so will the latest legal action help or hinder his campaign? let's ask dr steven hurst of the department of politics at manchester metropolitan university. thank you for talking to us on the

programme. that is the question. is this mugshots the first ever of a us president, do you think it will help or hinder him at the polls? it president, do you think it will help or hinder him at the polls? it will or hinder him at the polls? it will help them _ or hinder him at the polls? it will help them win — or hinder him at the polls? it will help them win the _ or hinder him at the polls? it will help them win the nomination i or hinder him at the polls? it will| help them win the nomination for republican party, for sure. i think there is no question about that. every indictmentjust there is no question about that. every indictment just seems there is no question about that. every indictmentjust seems to increase, more money comes in, building up stronger against his opponents on the republican side, and makes it very difficult for his republican opponents to criticise him, because by criticising him or having a go at him, they risk being painted as part of the democrat's plot. it helps on that side. whether it helps and when the general election next year is a much more tricky question. the evidence there is much more ambivalent. it looks as though it's probably hurts him rather than helps him. i though it's probably hurts him rather than helps him. i think,

unfortunately, _ rather than helps him. i think, unfortunately, doctor- rather than helps him. i think, unfortunately, doctor stephen j rather than helps him. i think, - unfortunately, doctor stephen hurst, we will try to sort your line out and come back to you. we have some issues with the sound. so, we will try to sort that out and get back to you. but ijust want try to sort that out and get back to you. but i just want to try to sort that out and get back to you. but ijust want to bring you some breaking news that we told you about a little earlier on, and that is that the director of the british museum has resigned. you will remember that the british museum has beenin remember that the british museum has been in the news for much of the last few weeks, after it emerged that various artefacts were missing. there has been a lot of concern over that, and just in the last few minutes, we hope that hartwig fischer, who was the director of the british museum, said he will be stepping down from his position with immediate effect. he basically issued quite a long statement, saying that he had been reviewing in

detail the events around the theft from the british museum, and he said in a statement that he did not respond as comprehensively, or the british museum didn't, as it should have done, in response to the warnings back in 2021. and so, he has offered his resignation to the chairman of trustees, and will step down as soon as the board have an interim leadership arrangement in place. he will remain in place until a new director is chosen, but hartwig fischer, director of the british museum, will be stepping down. now, let's look at some other news. a busy day today and there is other news from the united states. the authorities in hawaii have published the names of almost 400 people who've been missing since wildfires swept the island of maui earlier this month. they want any survivors on the list to come forward, so the number of people unaccounted for can be reduced. teams are still searching the charred remains of the historic

town of lahaina and other areas. some 115 people are known to have died. are terrible scenes there in hawaii. we were talking to stephen hurst, doctor stephen hurst, a moment to go about donald trump and his appearance yesterday, and that mug shot that was taken. hopefully, we have sorted your sound out, doctor hurst. if you could just remind us what you are saying. this mugshot has been released, and we were talking about is whether this was a good thing or a bad thing. how would he use this app as part in is campaigning? == he use this app as part in is campaigning?— he use this app as part in is campaigning? he use this app as part in is camaiuanin? ., ., , campaigning? -- how would you use this as part — campaigning? -- how would you use this as part of— campaigning? -- how would you use this as part of his _ campaigning? -- how would you use this as part of his campaigning? - this as part of his campaigning? presumably, he would use it as anything else, that is to say, is further proof that the deep state and the democrats, and anyone else he doesn't like at any given time is out to get him, and that is why republicans should support him. the evidence of a spa is that when he does that, is plays very well with

his core voters. —— the evidence thus far. it is helping him to win the nomination for the republican party and a nomination for presidency next year, because his voters are convinced that he is right, and it is a witch hunt, and they are to get him, and these cases are all cooked up for that purpose. it also makes it very difficult for his opponents to actually attacking within the party, because implicitly, by attacking him, they side with the democrats, and that doesn't make them popular with republican voters, so it is good for him getting the nomination, for sure. it him getting the nomination, for sure. , him getting the nomination, for sure, , ., sure. it is good for him getting the nomination. _ sure. it is good for him getting the nomination, and _ sure. it is good for him getting the nomination, and doctor— sure. it is good for him getting the nomination, and doctor hurst, - sure. it is good for him getting the nomination, and doctor hurst, you alluded it might be good with the nomination in terms of republican voters that perhaps support him, but in terms of the wider electorate? that is much more... we are a long way out and a lot can happen yet. these cases have to go to court, and those cases, because they are in court, we will see what happens then. but so far, the evidence with then. but so far, the evidence with the wider public is that this does

not play out in the same way. there have been small dips in his favourability to the general public when this cases have come up. it certainly isn't helping him in any like the same way, when it comes to the general public. it seems as though what evidence we have is probably hurting him.— probably hurting him. probably hurtin: probably hurting him. probably hurting him- — probably hurting him. probably hurting him. looking _ probably hurting him. probably hurting him. looking at - probably hurting him. probably hurting him. looking at the - probably hurting him. probably- hurting him. looking at the mugshot itself, and the fact that he himself almost immediately posted it on social media, making his first post on next, formally known as twitter, for the best part of two years. he clearly sees this as part of his political strategy, which presumably must be a first in terms of political campaigning for the white house. i think that is fairly safe to say. house. i think that is fairly safe to sa . ., ., ~' house. i think that is fairly safe to sa . ., house. i think that is fairly safe tosa. ., , ., ., to say. looking at the photograph, ou have to say. looking at the photograph, you have to _ to say. looking at the photograph, you have to give — to say. looking at the photograph, you have to give him _ to say. looking at the photograph, you have to give him some - to say. looking at the photograph, you have to give him some credits| you have to give him some credits that you can see he has thought about, i have to use this before it is taken. he has posed himself quite carefully, to create an image that you can use, and that his supporters

immediately, but he says he will be stepping down as soon as the board of the british museum have established an interim leadership arrangement, and that will then stay in place until a new director is chosen. he was living in the near future anyway, but obviously, the events of the last we at hastened his departure. obviously, he made a statement earlier this week, where he criticised the person that had actually come to them, saying that treasures were missing from the british museum, that he believed had been sold online. in a statement, the director of the british museum actually said that this person didn't actually tell us how many of these items they had. we now believe they had many more items than they initially actually told us about, and that was unfortunate, and it is impeded to the british museum's investigation into what has been going on. he has now withdrawn those remarks, and describe those remarks is being misjudged, and said he

wished to express his sincere regret, and withdraw those remarks to doctor cordell, the art dealer who first brought the attention to the museum does the treasures were missing and had been sold online. what we don't have much time, but this is a cute story for the british museum. there isjust one line this is a cute story for the british museum. there is just one line after another. well, yes, there are two brew big british museum is for the british museum to deal with. one is the actual loss or theft or damage to valuable treasures in this connection, and especially those being sold, allegedly, online. and two, how the british museum actually coped and reacted to the situation, when they were confronted with those facts. ., ., ., facts. 0k, we will have to leave it there. facts. 0k, we will have to leave it there- plenty _ facts. 0k, we will have to leave it there. plenty more _ facts. 0k, we will have to leave it there. plenty more on _ facts. 0k, we will have to leave it there. plenty more on the - facts. 0k, we will have to leave it there. plenty more on the refusalj facts. 0k, we will have to leave it i there. plenty more on the refusal to resign from luis rubiales. to stay with jose on resign from luis rubiales. to stay withjose on bbc news. —— to stay

temperatures of 21 and 22 degrees, and into high teens further north. it will feel cool as the showers come along. as we had three saturday night, most of the showers fade away, so to meet with the heavier ones, and we will continue to see patchy rain across northern and western areas, and again, a fairly fresh night to come. i think, out of town, temperatures in single figures for many. butjust about double thinkers in towns and cities. —— but just about double figures. we have this waterfront are pushing into western areas on the weekend, which will bring an area a more substantial rain in parts of northern ireland in western scotland. but it is a weakening feature, very quickly we can, so it will eat no more than a band of cloud as a cross of the irish sea. elsewhere, on sunday, sunshine and showers once again. top temperatures of 21 degrees. mid to high teens further north. that weather fronts then literally fades away as it spreads across britain on monday. remember, monday is a bank holiday for many others. so, once we lose that weather fronts, that band of cloud, we can actually see quite a bit of sunshine a run for england

and wales. a bit more cloud for scotland, northern ireland, but even here, they will be some sunnier moments. temperatures may be a bit higher on monday, with 21 or 22 degrees here. high teens further north. at a bit higher on monday, with 21 or 22 degrees here. high teens further north. at low pressure always fairly close by as we move through the rest of the new way, it will stay generally unsettled. sunshine and showers, and feeling a —— the rest of the new week.
