spanish players say they will boycott matches until the head is removed after kissing a player on the mouth and refusing to resign. the director of the british museum resigns over the way the institution handled a series of thefts during his tenure. and donald trump protests his innocence after becoming the first former us president to have his mugshot taken. what next for wagner group mercenaries in africa? we have a special report from mali. hello. welcome to the daily global, where we'll bring you the top stories from around the world. we start in spain where the government is taking legal action to suspend the head of the country's football federation. the

five days ago, spain's women's football team were the toast of the world after beating england to win the world cup. but the behaviour of luis rubiales, the head of spain's football federation, has caused controversy and outrage. this image of him kissing the player jenni hermoso on the lips during the presentation ceremony has gone viral. in has gone viral. the last few minutes she has confirmed in the last few minutes she has confirmed she did not consent to the kids. he was also seen to be grabbing his crotch as he celebrated at the final whistle. he says a social assassination is taking place and has refused to resign. guy hedgecoe�*s report from madrid contains footage of some of the material that people have found offensive. 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 strikerjenni hermoso has been hogging the headlines. so too have this image of him celebrating the world cup victory. 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 it so serious that l i have to leave while having donel the best job for spanish football? do you really believe that i have to resign? well, i am going to tell you something, i will not resign. i will not resign. this was supposed to be a week when spain celebrated women's football, 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. jenni hermoso had condemned the case and many other public figures have called for him to face sanctions. the episode has fed into an intense debate in spanish society about gender equality and sexual consent. this is a critical moment in this country. people are moving towards more gender equality but this looks like an abuse of power and that's what we are fighting against. players from other countries have also spoken out. it's really sad that it ruined what was supposed to be the most special moment in spain's career. the government says it's taking actions to remove him from office and this should be spanish football's #metoo moment.

it has triggered an institutional crisis in spanish football. the question now is how much this episode may have damaged spain was image as a modern sport superpower. the spanish government saying they should be a new era for spanish football. �* ,, �* should be a new era for spanish football. �* ,, ~ ., should be a new era for spanish football. �* ,, �* ., ~' football. translation: we would like to say wanting — football. translation: we would like to say wanting to _ football. translation: we would like to say wanting to him, _ football. translation: we would like to say wanting to him, between - football. translation: we would like to say wanting to him, between the i to say wanting to him, between the is over from today. we are pushing for him to give explanations. if the court agrees and we will suspend him from his functions we would like this to be the meet you of spanish football into lead to a change. the government wants to make clear it will be very strict about the fact that there are things that happen again. the players did not deserve what happened this week. professor stacey pope is from the

that bastion of male domination. that space of being the last male preserve for that we are seeing women increasingly as players and fans in writing of the sport, doesn't mean these issues are going away. that's reflected in the research that you mentioned that i've been undertaking, which sadly found thatjust under 2000 men be involved in a study by far the largest proportion were in the misogynistic group.— largest proportion were in the misogynistic group. largest proportion were in the misoa nisticarou-. ., misogynistic group. what do you make ofthe misogynistic group. what do you make of the way that — misogynistic group. what do you make of the way that rubiales _ misogynistic group. what do you make of the way that rubiales tried - misogynistic group. what do you make of the way that rubiales tried to - of the way that rubiales tried to defend himself? he said it was a spontaneous kiss, a consensual pack should not be enough to get me out of here. a very defiant stance they are. he actually tried to draw parallels between his treatment and that of the spanish coach saying we've experienced the same thing, trying to widen it out. what do you make of the way he has defended himself in this? it’s make of the way he has defended himself in this?— himself in this? it's 'ust untenable. i himself in this? it'sjust i untenable. unfortunately, himself in this? it'sjust - untenable. unfortunately, what himself in this? it'sjust _ untenable. unfortunately, what we

are also seeing is we just don't have these in quality diverse inclusion policies in place. if we did it wouldn't have taken so long to get to a situation where we are looking at potential investigations to happen. there needs to be mechanisms in place to protect the players in the first place. in terms of his actual response to this, it's probably reflective of the research that we've done looking at leadership roles in men's football and now these are completely in the game more widely but how they are typically dominated by men. and when we have women remove our babel footballing decisions and key decision roles this is a typical makeup then that's out male dominance in the sport is maintained. and these kinds of things can go on to be seen as acceptable. we know football doesn't occupy i mean operate in a vacuum, thatis occupy i mean operate in a vacuum, that is obviously going to transfer into football. the good thing about it is where having conversation. important part two bottles of beer

and wine. when making it clear that society isn't turning a bite i do this. the media are reporting on this, fans are speaking out, people are widely criticising it and public is voicing objections loudly. i think also this is reflective of how when we see advances in doing that gender equality we always get back last. perhaps that's more severe and male—dominated places like football. perhaps it also helps to explain some of this response of what we are seeing. some of this response of what we are seeina. , ., , some of this response of what we are seeina. , . , ., , some of this response of what we are seein. , ., , ., , , seeing. rubiales remains in his 'ob at the question �* seeing. rubiales remains in his 'ob at the question is d seeing. rubiales remains in his 'ob at the question is for d seeing. rubiales remains in his 'ob at the question is for how i seeing. rubiales remains in his 'ob at the question is for how long. h at the question is for how long. just to remind you of the latest lines of the story in the last few minutes, we've heard from jenni hermoso who received back is saying that she has confirmed that she did not consent to the kids. of course mr macro one reset the kiss was —— rubiales dozens of the spanish women's national team and said they

will not play any matches for the country until luis rubiales has been removed from his job. country until luis rubiales has been removed from hisjob. does country until luis rubiales has been removed from his job. does the latest lines coming out of that scandal. we will bring you more as we get it. the director of the british museum says he is stepping down with immediate effect, after admitting he failed to respond "comprehensively " to warnings about thefts from the museum in 2021. hartwig fischer had previously said there was "no evidence" to substantiate claims of theft, when estimates suggest more than 1500 objects are missing, stolen or damaged. david silitto reports. the british museum, one of the greatest repositories of the world treasures and someone has been stealing them. it's understood more than 1500 objects disappeared and two years ago a danish and took the dealer told the museum directors he'd seen some of their treasures on sale on ebay, and it's that warning that has led to the director of the

museum, hartwig fischer, announcing he will be leaving museum rather sooner than he'd been planning. in a statement, he said... i spoke to the man who first raised those warnings, dr ittai gradel. the essence is they felt to take your warnings seriously. they refused to listen or have engagement with me to stop they had no questions to ask me. they never wanted to include me in the so—called thorough investigation. it is unbelievable what happened. the museum now needs a new director and some answers. a police investigation is under way. one person has been interviewed

but exactly what has been stolen and how it all happened are questions yet to be answered. let's speak to lucio ms. above. what are we expecting next with the various and investigations under way? this various and investigations under wa ? �* , ., various and investigations under wa ? ~ , ., . various and investigations under wa ? a ., . ., way? as we heard the police have interviewed _ way? as we heard the police have interviewed a _ way? as we heard the police have interviewed a man _ way? as we heard the police have interviewed a man about - way? as we heard the police have interviewed a man about the - way? as we heard the police have i interviewed a man about the current situation. we are not expecting the running commentary from the metropolitan police in london into that investigation but obviously people will be waiting to see if that does result in any kind of criminal charges. there is also an independent inquiry by a former trustee and a member of the british transport police into the security arrangements at the british museum. that was the initial parameters for that investigation, possibly the trustees and there might be pressure from external. but they want to expand that into looking at how the

british museum responded when they were alerted to these missing treasures popping up on ebay back in 2021. because of course that is one of the areas of deep concern that the british museum not only was seeing treasures missing but when they were alerted to the fact they didn't appear to respond as proactively or as strongly, decisively as people expect. horse decisively as people expect. how lona can decisively as people expect. how long can it _ decisively as people expect. how long can it be _ decisively as people expect. how long can it be before a new director is in place and what will their main priorities be?— priorities be? hartwig fischer was already leaving — priorities be? hartwig fischer was already leaving in _ priorities be? hartwig fischer was already leaving in 2024 _ priorities be? hartwig fischer was already leaving in 2024 and - priorities be? hartwig fischer was already leaving in 2024 and the i already leaving in 2024 and the process of looking for another director to replace him was already well under way. director to replace him was already well underway. hartwig director to replace him was already well under way. hartwig fischer is staying in place until an interim director is appointed for that we are expecting that probably within a matter of days. their main priority and the new permanent director when they come in will be to oversee the

trying to recover the missing treasures. looking at security, implementing the recommendations made by the independent review into security and just as importantly, reassuring the public and people around the world that the british museum is a safe place for some of the most valuable, some of the most irreplaceable objects on earth to be to positive. because a reputation for guarding those treasures correctly has taking a dreadful battering over the last week. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news. let's look at some other stories making news. they head of nhs england has called for a meeting next week to consider regularisation of managers in the wake of revelation and saluti lucy b trial. the letters as final decisions will this is the right

deliberate attempt to stop and being reelected president. election interference he calls it. which is ironic as that is exactly what he's being charged with here in georgia. sarah smith, bbc news, atlanta, georgia. british police are investigating the deaths of 88 people who bought a poisonous substance for a man and candidate was accused of helping people take their own lives. kenneth law is due to appear in court after being arrested in toronto accused of assisting suicide and selling products to people in 40 countries around the world. the uk's national crime agency has launched an investigation. bright and kind, tom wasjust 22 when investigation. bright and kind, tom was just 22 when he ended his life using a chemical he bought from a website in canada. his father david distraught and angry says tom should never have had access to it. i

in every case, the nca has launched a criminal investigation. but how did they know about kenneth law and the chemical? here's the answer. a pro suicide website that we had been investigating for two years. users encourage suicide. swap tips on methods and suggest sellers like law. accessible to anyone with a couple of clicks. we found one supplier who offered us a package of chemicals and pills. he even sent us a picture, told us he often shipped to the uk. and new sellers appear over time. i know how much the people on there are struggling. - another death too soon. holly's brother michael, one more of kenneth's customers, another victim of the suicide forum. right now i'm a bit of a mess

across the south—east quadrant of england. plenty of sunshine around. elsewhere, we've seen lots of showers, and some of them have been torrential, with some thunder and lightning mixed in. that's how it's going to remain into the weekend for most of us — sunny spells, scattered showers because of low pressure nearby. now, the winds will be stronger across northern and western areas for the next couple of days. lighter winds, though, further east. as you can see, fewer isobars there. so the showers which we've had through the day will tend to fade away across many areas, but they'll still continue across northern scotland, parts of northern england, northern ireland and around irish sea coasts. but other areas will remain dry. but a cooler night to come, i think, certainly under clearer skies, temperatures of 7 to 11 degrees. into the start of our week, and we start off with quite a bit of sunshine around. rain, though, showers from the word go across the northern half of scotland. showers will develop widely across england and wales and northern ireland through saturday afternoon and some of them will be heavy and thundery. lighter winds further east, a bit fresher further west. top temperatures, 21 or 22 degrees.

mid—to—high teens further north, so it will feel cool, particularly when the showers come along. as we head through saturday night, most of the showers fade away. certainly the heavy ones will. but we'll continue to see thicker cloud, some 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, but just about double figures in towns and cities. and then as we head into sunday, we've got this weather front pushing into western areas. that's going to bring an area of more substantial, patchy rain and cloud to northern ireland initially, then to western scotland, but it's a weakening feature, very quickly weakening, so it will be no more than a band of cloud as it crosses the irish sea. but elsewhere on sunday, sunshine and showers once again. top temperatures, 21 degrees, mid—to—high teens further north. that weather front, then, literally fades away as it spreads across britain on monday. remember, monday is a bank holiday for many of us. so once we lose that weather front, that band of cloud, we could actually see quite a bit of sunshine around for england and wales.

a bit more cloud for scotland, northern ireland. but even here, there'll be some sunnier moments. temperatures maybe a little bit higher on monday, 21, 22 degrees here, high teens further north. but with low pressure always fairly close by as we move through the rest of the new week, it will stay generally unsettled. sunshine and showers and feeling a little bit fresher than of late.
