spanish football federation president faces a boycott after refusing to design to resign after giving a member of the team. rail delays expected today with workers working off the job after pay disputes and authorities say they have recovered bodies from the site where wagner boss yevgeny prigozhin�*s plane crashed. welcome to the programme. i am samantha simmonds. more than 80 spanish soccer players will boycott games for spain's national team until the football federation president luis rubiales is removed from his post. he has refused to resign after backlash for kissing jenni hermoso and grabbing his crotch in celebration of spain's win over

england in the world cup final. 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 has 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, he stunned onlookers by insisting 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. 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. jenni hermoso condemned the kiss. many other public figures including government ministers called for him to face sanctions. 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 is what we're 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 is taking action to remove mr rubiales from office and that 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. let's get more on this with zoe conway in the newsroom. a defiant luis rubiales. any sign of this being resolved?- of this being resolved? know, there isn't- — of this being resolved? know, there isn't. in _ of this being resolved? know, there isn't. in fact, _ of this being resolved? know, there isn't. in fact, if- there isn't. in fact, if anything, mr rubiales's position has hawed hardened overnight. it is reported that the football federation has backed up his version of events

and it is reported they are standing by him and five times in that conference today he, in that emergency conference, said he would not resign. so, there is no sign at the moment. it is an extraordinary situation. we had what looked like notjust a victory for the women of the spanish team but a victory for women all over the world, that was certainly the hope, but now it has broken down into recrimination, so we have now got a war of words between luis rubiales and jenni hermoso, who is adamant that his version of events is not true, and she is standing by her statement that she did not consent to him kissing her.— she did not consent to him kissing her. and comensoli, what has — kissing her. and comensoli, what has the _ kissing her. and comensoli, what has the wider - kissing her. and comensoli, what has the wider full - kissing her. and comensoli, what has the wider full lap l what has the wider full lap into this saga?— what has the wider full lap into this saga? what has the wider full lap into this saua? ~ ., ., into this saga? well, we have a statement _ into this saga? well, we have a statement in _ into this saga? well, we have a statement in the _ into this saga? well, we have a statement in the last _ into this saga? well, we have a statement in the last few - into this saga? well, we have a statement in the last few hours from the england team, the lionesses, who was spain's

fiercest rivals on the pitch but off the pitch they have become their greatest allies. they have issued a statement where they say abuse is abuse. we have all seen the truth. the behaviour of those who think they are invincible must not be tolerated. "we all stand with you." that is the statement issued by the lionesses in the last few hours and there are people in football federation's all over the world now, and the governing body fifa, who want to see mr rubiales stepping down. so, at the moment, the temperature is going up and there is no sign of this being resolved. there is no sign of this being resolved-— there is no sign of this being resolved. ~ . ., resolved. ok. we will continue to follow that _ resolved. ok. we will continue to follow that for _ resolved. ok. we will continue to follow that for us _ resolved. ok. we will continue to follow that for us for - resolved. ok. we will continue to follow that for us for now. l to follow that for us for now. there will be disruption to rail services today is around 20,000 members of the rmt union take part in their later strike over pay and conditions. they will be a reduced timetable in places for much of england with some journeys into scotland and

wales also affected. it comes on the same day nottingham carnival. the strikes will continue until a new settlement for workers is reached. the government says it has made fair and reasonable pay offers. it is the 24th strike since last summer. russian authorities say they have recovered ten bodies and the flight recorders from the site where yevgeny prigozhin's private clean— where yevgeny prigozhin's private clean plane crashed. they said — private clean plane crashed. they said that _ private clean plane crashed. they said that tess - private clean plane crashed. they said that tess would i private clean plane crashed. | they said that tess would be carried — they said that tess would be carried out.— they said that tess would be carried out. the plane crashed exactly two — carried out. the plane crashed exactly two months _ carried out. the plane crashed exactly two months after - carried out. the plane crashed exactly two months after the i exactly two months after the wagner group boss led a short lived rebellion. questions remain about exactly what happened. the kremlin has described speculation about ordering his death as a complete lie. ukraine's counteroffensive continuing its progress with developments overshadowed earlier this week, as we just overshadowed earlier this week, as wejust mentioned, overshadowed earlier this week, as we just mentioned, by reports of the man who led the

recent community being killed in a plane crash. ukraine made gains around a village on the southern frontier zaporizhzhia. analysts at the us institute for the study of war says it is significant as they begin to threaten the russian army second line of defences. meanwhile, several of ukraine's western partners stepped up support with commitment from the netherlands on f—i6 fighter jets and the pentagon promising to start training ukrainian pilots and ground cruz in october. elizabeth is with us, 0ctober. elizabeth is with us, a senior fellow with the american enterprise think tank in washington. bring us up—to—date with what is happening with the offensive in ukraine. where is it up to? $5 ukraine. where is it up to? as ou ukraine. where is it up to? es you said, ukraine. where is it up to? is you said, it is making incremental progress from the ukrainian perspective and what

is interesting as well is we are beginning to see russian soldiers complaining about not being relieved, not getting resupplied, and that matters because one side is highly motivated, the other side not so much, the russian side is not so highly motivated, understandably because they are not fighting to defend their country. so, when you are not highly motivated, challenges like not getting resupplied, actually matter more that if you are on the defending side and you are fighting for your own country. so, that i think is significant in itself and then of course we have seen incremental gains, although significant, by the ukrainian side. . ~ . significant, by the ukrainian side. ., . ., ., . side. yeah. what about how much su ort side. yeah. what about how much suaport the _ side. yeah. what about how much suaport the west _ side. yeah. what about how much support the west has _ side. yeah. what about how much support the west has had - side. yeah. what about how much support the west has had to - support the west has had to offer over the past few months? we have seen president biden in the past they also said they will offer training and an

update from the netherlands and denmark but have they given enough considering that training will take some time? it will take some time but this was a bumper week for international support for ukraine because denmark and the netherlands did commit to sending the f—16 netherlands did commit to sending the f—i6jets netherlands did commit to sending the f—16 jets to ukraine. the danes were saying they would donate them. they were discussing whether it would be a commercial donation oran would be a commercial donation or an arrangement but nevertheless the ukrainians will get the f—i6s. the first time they will be able to buy western fighter jets time they will be able to buy western fighterjets in this war. so, it is really a remarkable week fought the ukrainians. and on top of that in sweden now the debate is shifting to the point where there is consensus for sweden to send fighterjets which are perfectly suited for ukraine. now, that can only be done when

swedenjoined nato. so, president 0da one, if you are listening, you can do a great deed for ukraine without any expense by letting sweden into nato. so, it has been a really good week for ukraine terms of international support. we good week for ukraine terms of international support.— international support. we have the us election _ international support. we have the us election campaign - the us election campaign ramping up. that is more than a year away but will come into the conversations and the debate. how much of a political issue do you think support for ukraine could become in the us? it was interesting to see the presidential debates, or the republican side of that contest this week, were surprisingly many opinions were offered to the point to the effect that "oh, it is too costly to keep supporting the ukrainians, sending military aid" and that is discerning because we all know that if ukraine were to lose this walk then that russia

would take from was not a good idea but a productive idea to attack a neighbouring country because you may win and that is the idea — that the russians should not and it is in everyone's interest to support them and the fact that there is division in the republican party and the democratic party about the best path ahead means that ukraine will become a divisive issue in this debate and ijust hope that americans remember that they are very lucky that it is not them, that it is the ukrainians who just happen to have a geographically disadvantageous position. thank ou ve disadvantageous position. thank you very much — disadvantageous position. thank you very much for _ disadvantageous position. thank you very much for your- disadvantageous position. thank you very much for your analysis | you very much for your analysis from washington. the british museum is without a director after he stepped down after he failed to respond

comprehensively to warnings about thefts from the museum in 2021. he previously said there was no evidence to substantiate claims of theft when estimates suggest more than 1500 objects are missing, stolen or damaged. 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:

he has also made an apology to the man who raised those warnings. dr ittai gradel. it was not that i accepted. 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". thatin that in a quote. it's unbelievable what happened. the museum now needs a new director and some answers. a police investigation is under way.

it is no wonder that greek media has been taking a keen interest, but for politicians tasked with the job of oversight of the museum, there are more urgent issues. this oversight of the museum, there are more urgent issues.- are more urgent issues. this is all about finding _ are more urgent issues. this is all about finding the _ are more urgent issues. this is all about finding the object, i all about finding the object, first of all, accounting for how they went missing and ensuring that everything else in the british museum is absolutely secure.- in the british museum is absolutely secure. the museum is carrying _ absolutely secure. the museum is carrying out _ absolutely secure. the museum is carrying out a _ absolutely secure. the museum is carrying out a review- absolutely secure. the museum is carrying out a review of- absolutely secure. the museum is carrying out a review of its . is carrying out a review of its security at a police investigation is under way. one person has been interviewed but questions about exactly what has been stolen and how it all happened remain unanswered. a police officer is in a critical condition after being hit by a train while trying to save a distressed man who was on the tracks. nottinghamshire police were called to an area near new archon trend which is part of the east coast mainline on a thursday night. the man on

the railway lines suffered injuries but they are not believed to be life—threatening. they both remain in hospital. the cost of living crisis in the brazilian city of sao paulo has left 50,000 people without a place to live. local authorities say around 30,000 people are sleeping on the streets this year, a number that has risen considerably since the pandemic. the city is having to think of ways to house families, especially before the winter hits. america correspondent katie watson reports from sao paulo. here in brazil's biggest city, the southern hemisphere's biggest city, the cost of living crisis has become so acute that some estimate that as many as 50,000 people are living on the streets here in sao paulo. now, this is a country known for its poverty and inequality, and expensive favelas, but even those are becoming unaffordable for some, and so the city is coming up with different ways of trying to get families of the streets. the difference between the haves and have—nots couldn't be clearer. in this,

the southern hemisphere's biggest city, expensive apartments tower over favelas. can you believe, people can't even afford to live here, in sao paulo's largest slum? this is paradise city, but for those who live here it is hardly exilic. this woman and her husband pay £58 a month for this room, but they can't afford it. their six—year—old granddaughter has a heart condition. the little leon goes on medicine that keeps her alive. while the landlord is understanding, it is getting harder. despite being given food and aid from local charities. �* ,, �* g charities. translation: my dream is to _ charities. translation: my dream is to have _ charities. translation: my dream is to have my - charities. translation: my dream is to have my own - charities. translation: my- dream is to have my own house, of course, work to earn money, keep pushing through, because today paying rent, we don't make ends meet. without donations, things would be incredibly difficult.-

globe, canada is experiencing its worst on record. 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. around two—thirds of them are concentrated in the western province of british columbia and the northwest territories, where hundreds of homes have been destroyed. 0ur correspondent wyre davies reports from kelowna. so that's my house on fire and i think, my love, that's yours. ooh, that's big, eh? joanna and duncan have been friends and neighbours for decades. but i think that's us. the 0kanagan 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 then 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 werejust dozens. duncan lost most of what he'd built and owned, including his dad's war medals. but his family is 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 mean, i've gota 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've got three or four waterfront properties that have been completely gutted. and just above them, and apparently right in the middle of the fire as well, all the houses are safe. they�* re 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. 0thers witnessed firefighters saving their properties. it's a testament to local rescue services that no lives were lost. yeah, 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's no question it's been dangerous. like, 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. well, 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. cheering and applause 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. the dutch brewer heineken has left russia by selling its operation there for i left russia by selling its operation there for 1 euro. this is 1.5 years after pledging to do so. many western firms, including mcdonald's and

starbucks, stop their operations in russia when the country invaded ukraine last february. 0ur reporter has been looking at the big brands making that same move. so what can i making that same move. so what can 1 euro by you in russia? apparently seven breweries that employ 1800 people. earlier, another be a giant, carlsberg, couldn't even get that price and completely lost all its assets, being seized by the russian government, as well as food company danone. britain has signed a decree saying that the russian state would manage shares belonging to danone, and now it is owned by this guy, a nephew of the church in leader. in another1 euro purchase, in october last year, car manufacturer nissan sold its operations for this exact price, and they were estimated to be worth over 600 million

euros. brands have been exiting the russian market since the full—scale invasion of ukraine, losing profits and assets. mcdonald's close doors to its 850 restaurants, only to be reopened under a new russian brand. here, spot the difference, starbucks versus star's difference, starbucks versus sta r�*s coffee. difference, starbucks versus star's coffee. the logo is similar and so is the menu. 0nly similar and so is the menu. only the owner is no longer american, so starbucks was sold to a rabbit named timothy who is advertising his new business on instagram despite a crackdown on the social media network by russian authorities —— rapper. while a lot of brands like ikea and h&m have left the russian market, many still remain. tobacco giant philip morris, drinks manufacturer pepsico, nestle

mars, procter & gamble, they operate, make profit and what is more important, pay taxes in russia. that is according to ukrainian authorities, who claim it makes them sponsors of war. it calls on them to be boycotted anywhere in the world. so there are businesses who are still waiting and deciding whether to leave the russian market, so maybe a few more cheap sales are expected anytime soon. finally to scotland, where hundreds of people willjoin scotland, where hundreds of people will join what scotland, where hundreds of people willjoin what has been described as the biggest search for the loch ness monster in more than 50 years. 200 volunteers are planning to help record natural and any unusual sites on loch ness, from vantage points on land, this weekend. we will keep you up—to—date on any sightings, of course, here in bbc news. that's it from me. 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 low, some quite brisk winds coming down from the north. you'll feel the effects of that across north—west 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 degrees in the south—east corner, cooler than that further north and west. at reading and leeds forfestival—goers, 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 night, it's actually going to be quite a cool and fresh affair. some showers will continue, particularly in western areas. temperatures even in the towns and cities down to nine or 10 degrees. and then we will see a band of cloud and rain starting to push in across northern ireland. now, this is going to make very slow progress eastwards. it's also going to peter out as it goes, so just 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 degrees in the south—east. 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 is going to 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.

the headlines — the spanish football federation refuses to resign after kissing a member of the world cup winning team. the players confirmed they would not play for spain's women's team until he is removed from his post. so far he has declined to comment stop passengers across england faced disruption on saturday as staff begin a strike over pay and working conditions. workers from 1a train operators are taking part in saturday strike which is its 24th since last summer. the authorities in russia say they recovered flight recorders and ten bodies from the site where yevgeny prigozhin's plane crashed and killed all the kremlin has denied ordering the association of vladimir putin's former close aid. now on bbc news, it
