prigozhin's private jet is recovered as the kremlin denies involvement in his death. spain's world cup winning football team says they won't play again while the head of their national federation stays over the kiss controversy. and donald trump seeks to make the most of his historic georgia mugshot with campaign branded items now being sold. the russian authorities say they have recovered 10 bodies and flight recorders from the site where yevgeny prigozhin�*s private plane crashed two days ago. they added that tests would be carried out to identify the victims. the plane crashed exactly two months after the wagner group boss led a short lived rebellion — but questions remain about exactly what happened to him. the kremlin has denied ordering his death describing

such speculation as a �*complete lie�*. our correspondent will vernon has more from moscow. i was on iwas ona i was on a conference i was on a conference call a little earlier with president putin's spokesman. these happen every day with a select group of russian and international journalists where you can ask any question you want. and i asked whether the kremlin had something to do with this plane crash two days ago which reportedly killed yevgeny prigozhin. it's notjust western officials who think that. many russians believe it too. he said the claims were an absolute lie and he said we should be guided only by facts. we have no facts at the moment. these need to be clarified during the official investigation. he was echoing

some of those earlier remarks by president putin calling on people to wait for the results of the official investigation. will that convince people at home and abroad who believe that there is some sort of link between russian authorities and the death of the wagoner bass? i don't think it will and this is why. time and again when accusations are levelled against the kremlin there is only one tactic and that is to deny. if we cast our minds back to the beginning of last year when there was that build—up of russian troops on the border with ukraine, then there were accusations levelled at the russian president, that he was preparing to invade ukraine. what was the response then from the kremlin? yet again, another denial. in the wake of yevgeny prigozhin�*s presumed death, questions swirl about the future of

the organisation he led. one african country where wagner is active is mali. the group is thought to have about 1,000 soldiers there. they've filled a gap left by french forces, who ended their military operations in the country about a year ago. feras kilani from bbc arabic is the firstjournalist to travel to northern mali since then — he sent this report. the start of a i,000—mile journey across vast deserts to an unseen conflict where wagner fighters clash with jihadist and rebel groups. it's impossible to operate here without a convoy of heavy security and dressing to blend in. but it's the only way to reach camps like this one. this is the only school in the area. these children are being taught to recite verses from the koran. it's the only education they are ever likely to receive. they are orphans who lived in

an area controlled by al-qaeda until the islamic state attacked and killed their parents. we have spent five days on the road to reach this remote camp. these children's stories may have been hidden from the world, but they are another generation whose lives were destroyed by the so—called islamic state. fatima, along with her daughter and grandchildren, walked hundreds of miles from the village they lived in to reach the camp. translation: islamic state forced us to come here. - they forced us to come here. all our men were killed. they burned all our food. there's little in the way of medicine or food. and some of the children are suffering from a fever. jihadists may be on the retreat in the middle east, but their grip of the african sahel region is growing, and it's had a big impact here. last year, help from the west was pushed aside as support

on the streets for russia grew. the military operation by the french ended as wagner fighters took up arms in mali. just days ago, prigozhin appeared in this video promising to rid countries of islamist threats. some of his supporters claim the clip was filmed in africa, possibly even in mali. we are forjusticej and happiness for the african peoples. we terrify islamic state, - al-qaeda and other gangsters. but the west has accused wagner of human rights violations in africa. these pictures released by the french military before they left allegedly show fighters burying bodies in a mass grave in eastern mali. this month, un bases like this started pulling out leaving more areas in mali under

islamic influence. the big question now is what role can wagner play in africa and who is left to stand up to this islamic threat? more than 80 spanish soccer players will boycott games for spain's national team until football federation president luis rubiales is removed from his post. rubiales has refused to resign after intense backlash for kissing forward player jenny hermoso, and also grabbing his crotch in celebration after spain's win over england in the women's world cup final. guy hedgecoe's sent this report from madrid and a warning, it contains footage some may find 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 just feet away from spain's queen letizia. after days of mounting pressure, mr rubiales had been expected to resign. but at an extraordinary general meeting of the football federation, where he still appeared to enjoy some support, he insisted the kiss was consensual and he remained fiercely 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 am going to tell you something, i will not resign. i will not resign. applause 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. the world cup winning squad has issued a statement in whichjenni hermoso insisted that the kiss was not consensual. the episode has fed into an intense debate in spanish society about gender equality and sexual consent. translation: 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 totally ruined what was supposed to be the most special moment probably in hermoso's career, and spain's career. the government says it's taking action to remove mr rubiales from office and this should be spanish football's #metoo moment. mr rubiales's celebrations have triggered an institutional crisis in spanish football.

the question now is how much this episode may have damaged spain's image as a modern sports superpower. guy hedgecoe, bbc news, madrid. donald trump continues to protest his innocence after the release of his mugshot thursday. hours after the former president was proccessed at the fulton countyjail in atlanta his campaign website began selling mugshot branded mugs, tshirts, and wine coolers. then for the first time in two years trump posted on x, formerly known as twitter, to share the mugshot and the address of his website, with an all capital letters caption: "election interference. never surrender!" our correspondent barbara plett usher has the latest. donald trump is making the most of his mugshot. he's already turned it into a symbol of his campaign which may galvanise more republican support because it's increased

after each indictment. the mugshot may drum home his message which he is a political martyr and he will never surrender. but when it comes to the campaign and how it will play out, there is no doubt his legal cases will force him to burn more cash. also create nearly impossible logistics. it's hard enough to run a campaign, never mind when you have 91 felony counts in four restrictions. it's complicated because of all the defendants. this means all sorts of legal manoeuvres.

for example, location. many of the defendants plan to request a separate trial so that they are not all lumped together and one of the defendants has got such a deal so you are looking at the possibility of multiple trials in multiple locations. all this legal wrangling can probably be wrapped up in trump's campaign message as he goes along. his goal is to try to delay the trial is in the hope that he may be able to win the white house before any possible convictions. but, the next most immediate step is when donald trump will formally be able to enter his plea of not guilty and that is expected to happen in early september. 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.

115 people are known to have died. canada is experiencing its worst wildfire season on record, with tens of thousands of people evacuated from their homes. the federal government has had to deploy the military to several regions but more than 1,000 fires still burn across the country. our correspondent wyre davies reports from the town of kelowna. that's my house on fire and i think, my love, that's yours. that's big. joanna and duncan have been friends and neighbours for decades. i think that's us. the okanagan valley residents had never seen anything like the inferno that tore through their community, destroying almost everything in its path, including their homes. it was blindingly bright and it would get into a house and then you've got this raging fire with this kind of skeletonised dwelling in the forefront of it, and it was just moving from one to the next and then, at one point, there were just dozens. duncan lost most of what he'd built and owned, including his dad's war medals, but his family's safe

and the yorkshire native remains positive. i'm very philosophical about this stuff. it happens and it's terrible. in my case, i wish that i had thought it through better to get stuff out and put it in... i've got a pick—up truck, for god's sake. it is still too risky for residents to return here. but from the lake, the devastation is clear. this shows just how indiscriminate these forest fires are. here you have got three or four waterfront properties that have been completely gutted. just above them, and apparently right in the middle of the fire as well, all the houses are safe, completely pristine. in some places, the fire line is right up to the front door. via security cameras, some residents watched helplessly in real—time as their houses burned.

others witnessed firefighters saving their properties. it's a testament to local rescue services that no lives were lost. there were situations where our staff were surrounded on all sides by fire, and they would not like me to tell you they were trapped. there is no question it's been dangerous. we saw fire behaviour, winds that ripped trees out by their roots and just laid them down like toothpicks. on a visit to a local evacuation centre, i asked the regional premier, david eby, if he thought climate change might be to blame for the record number of wildfires. without a doubt, the ferocity of the fires, the extent of the burning, the historic nature of the forest fires we're seeing, notjust here in british columbia, just devastating fires that are clearly linked to human—caused climate change. the biggest fires may have been tamed but there is still a significant threat. if the speed of the fires

has been relentless, so has the response of the emergency services. chopper after chopper dropping buckets in the lake here to take water up to the hill to douse out fires that are continuing to burn. this crisis has undoubtedly strengthened the bond between the fire crews and a grateful public. but most here expect these events to become much more common in the future. wyre davies, bbc news, kelowna. let's take you to southern syria now, stay with us here on bbc news. let's look at some other stories making news... denmark is proposing to ban the burning of holy books, after a series of incidents involving the koran which have led to anger and protests among muslims. the country'sjustice minister anounced the move.

the ban would also protect religious symbols like crucifixes but only applied to public places, and to broadcasting such actions to a wider audience. the french government is setting aside more than 200 million dollars to support struggling wine producers and shore up prices. a fall in demand is causing problems in several wine producing regions, including bordeaux. and 120 gold bars found on a train in switzerland four years ago are being given to the red cross after all efforts to trace their owner failed. a rail employee discovered the gold weighing three point seven kilos in a plastic bag on a train. the package was labelled, �*icrc valuables'. prosecutors ruled out any connection with crime, and say they assume the owner wanted the red cross to have the gold. you're live with bbc news.

the city of sao paulo is having to think of ways to house people before winter hits. we report now from sao paulo. here in brazil's biggest city the cost of living crisis has become so acute that some estimate that 50,000 people are living rough in sao paulo. this is a country known for its poverty and inequality but homes are becoming unaffordable for some but the city is coming up for some but the city is coming up with ways to get families off the streets. the difference between having have—nots could not be clearer in this biggest city in the southern hemisphere. can you believe people can't afford to live here. in sao paolo's largest

slum. this is paradise city in english. forthose slum. this is paradise city in english. for those who live here it's hardly idyllic. this couple pay £58 a month for this room but they can't afford it. their six—year—old granddaughter has a heart condition. the little they earn goes on medicine keeping her alive. by the landlord is understanding its getting harder. despite being given food and aid from local charities.— food and aid from local charities. g . , ., ., charities. my dream is to have m own charities. my dream is to have my own house _ charities. my dream is to have my own house of— charities. my dream is to have my own house of course. - charities. my dream is to have my own house of course. to . charities. my dream is to have i my own house of course. to earn money and keep pushing through because today we don't make ends meet without help, things would have been incredibly difficult. ., , . difficult. even more difficult are the lives _ difficult. even more difficult are the lives of _ difficult. even more difficult are the lives of these - difficult. even more difficult| are the lives of these family. their home is the busy streets of sao paulo. those who sleep under canvas of the lucky ones.

many have to make do with just a blanket, each day getting harder as winter sets in. the city council is struggling to fix the crisis is the number of people sleeping on the street grows. authorities are getting creative. this is being touted as the solution to the problem of homelessness here in sao paulo. these boxes behind me are known as micro—houses, 18 square metres and can take as many as four people. they are cropping up across the city. daniela lives in one with her two children and her husband. the pandemic hit them hard. neither work and they were living in a shelter until this opportunity cropped up. they can stay here for two years for free. it's a way of looking after people on the well—known concept of housing first. we

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've been able to discuss with many other families the impact on them and their own lives. and, of course, also focused on us trying to get some justice for the deaths of our sons and daughters. but also try and ensure that other families aren't impacted by similar. this is the man tom bought it from, kenneth law, arrested in canada and charged with two counts of aiding suicide. we're aware that packages were shipped to over 40 countries. we're aware of 1200 packages that have been shipped. the national crime agency now says 272 people in the uk

bought from the canadian. 88 of them later died, and although it's not possible to say the chemical was the cause of death 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. we have been investigating this world for two years. users encourage suicide. they 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 all the time. i know how much the people

on there are struggling. - another death too soon. holly's brother michael, one more of kenneth law's customers, another victim of the suicide forum. right now, i'm a bit of a mess cos this is all i seem - to be talking about, - but i'm not going to stop. like, i just can't. .. i can't live in a world - knowing this stuff exists without trying to stop it. michael and tom parfitt, two of the many who looked for help online and instead found poison. angus crawford, bbc news. the director of the british museum says he is stepping down, after admitting he failed to respond "comprehensively " to warnings about thefts from the museum in 2021. david silitto reports. the british museum, one of the greatest repositories of the world's treasures, and someone has been stealing them. it's understood more than 1500

objects have 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 that he'll 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 of is that they failed to take your warnings seriously when you made them. they refused to listen or have engagement with me. they had no questions to ask me. they never wanted to include me in the so—called "thorough investigation".

it's 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's been stolen and how it all happened are questions yet to be answered. david sillito, bbc news. the us state department has confirmed that the us and best of myjar has not been asked to leave the country. —— niger. he has not been asked to leave the country in 48 hours.

hello. we'll take a look at the forecast for the weekend in a moment. but i want to look back, first of all, at some of the dramatic weather we saw during friday. because in parts of scotland, vicious thunderstorms spawned some funnel clouds — this one here in fife looking like it touched down on the ground, making it a tornado. and you can see the extent of those intense thunderstorms across eastern, central, and southern parts of scotland through friday. but there were plenty of showers and storms elsewhere, as well. now, there are more showers in the outlook for the weekend, but i think they will tend to become a little less intense, a little less potent. there'll be some spells of sunshine, too. low pressure in charge of the scene, around the western flank of the lows, some quite brisk winds coming down from the north — you'll feel the effects of that across northwest scotland, parts of northern ireland. some rain in the north of scotland tending to spill southwards as the day wears on. cloud amounts increasing for northern ireland,

again, some showers here. for england and wales, sunny spells, scattered showers, and particularly for central and eastern parts of england, some of those showers will be heavy and possibly thundery. 22 celsius in the southeast corner, cooler than that further north and west. at reading and leeds, forfestivalgoers, i think some showers will be in the forecast, but there'll be some spells of sunshine in between. and, as we go through saturday nights, it'll actually be quite a cool and fresh affair. some showers will continue, particularly in western areas. temperatures even in the towns and cities down to 9—10 celsius. and then, we will see a band of cloud and rain starting to push in across northern ireland. now, this will make very slow progress eastwards, it'll also peter out as it goes, sojust turning cloudy and damp for northern ireland. elsewhere, sunny spells and showers, but the showers should be a little bit less intense by this stage. and temperatures, north to south, 14—21, maybe 22 celsius in the southeast. so for the notting hill carnival on sunday, a chance for a shower.

i think there should be some lengthy, dry gaps in between any showers. and monday looks like being a largely dry day — because this area of high pressure will try to build in. so monday, which is a bank holiday for most of us, of course, looks like a mostly dry day. there will be one or two showers, some spells of sunshine, too, and temperatures in the high teens or low 20s.

this is bbc news. we'll have the headlines
