the spanish football federation has accused women's world cup winner, jenni hermoso, of lying about a kiss by the federation�*s president. the organisation says it will take legal action against her, after the forward said she did not consent to being kissed on the lips by luis rubiales, following spain's victory over england in sydney.

rubiales has refused to resign, and now more than 80 players have said they'll boycott games until he quits. our reporter sergi forcada is in the newsroom — tell us more about what is happening. this is a story that has a new twist and turn every time this is a story that has a new twist and turn every time it this is a story that has a new twist and turn every time it seems this is a story that has a new twist and turn every time it seems to be dying down. the statement by the spanish football federation, there's a couple interesting things from this statement, they've released some pictures from the moment when the spanish national team was being awarded the medal is, the spanish federation says this lacks the president, remember mr rubiales had the press conference on friday in which he explained the sequence of events according to him and he said this was a consensual kiss, they say by releasing these pictures, this is obvious, according to them, that jennifer hermoso and the people

criticising him are lying. there's a second very interesting thing from the and it's this warning. the spanish upper federation saying they will initiate a corresponding legal action againstjenni hermoso, or her union. —— the spanish football federation. because it was her union that released a statement yesterday saying mr rubiales was lying. now the spanish football federation is warning they will initiate legal actions, and why? because they say opinions are rebutted with facts and evidence, and that is why they've released these pictures, and also, lies, they say, are refuted in court. ~ ., ., ., lies, they say, are refuted in court. ., ., ., court. what other reaction has there been around — court. what other reaction has there been around the _ court. what other reaction has there been around the world _ court. what other reaction has there been around the world to _ court. what other reaction has there been around the world to this? - court. what other reaction has there been around the world to this? as . been around the world to this? sis you been around the world to this? is you can imagine, this is a story that now is all over the front page in spain, these are examples of some front pages today, his pictures everywhere, and even though he is not resigning, in many headlines they are saying that at some point he will have to go. two examples

here, one from sport newspaper in spain saying that this is a global mess and a global embarrassment, and many others are comparing this to the #metoo movement, they are saying this is the #metoo movement for spanish football. but as i say, this is a story that far from being resolved everyday there is a new chapter, the being the statement by the spanish football federation saying they will take legal actions againstjennifer hermoso, her union, or basically whoever they feel that according to them is lying on this story. according to them is lying on this sto . . ~ according to them is lying on this sto . ., ,, , ., live now to semra hunter, a football journalist based in barcelona. thanks so much forjoining us, and as we heard from a reporter there, this is being portrayed in some of the coverage as spanish football's #metoo movement. what is your response to that? i #metoo movement. what is your response to that?—

to have open, healthy discourse and debate, which is actually happening here in spain right now, as to what we can do to make real, meaningful changes going forward.— we can do to make real, meaningful changes going forward. camping that, how much support _ changes going forward. camping that, how much support is _ changes going forward. camping that, how much support is there _ changes going forward. camping that, how much support is there for- changes going forward. camping that, how much support is there for rebelsl how much support is there for rebels at the moment within the football society and spanish society? —— countering that, how much support is therefore a luis rubiales? isid’itliin therefore a luis rubiales? within therefore a luis rubiales? within the football _ therefore a luis rubiales? within the football society, _ therefore a luis rubiales? within the football society, it's - therefore a luis rubiales? within the football society, it's clear - the football society, it's clear within the federation itself he still has a lot support and that was clear when he was bloody, given a standing ovation during his quite incredible speech —— he was applauded, during his speech, which he said he was not going to resign. so many are saying they're just as complicit, just as guilty in the behaviour and attitudes that have been exhibiting towards these women, and so they want everyone to go, not just lose rebels, they want the whole federation to be cleared out and for there to be a proper restructure put in place and bring in people who are adequate and suitable and fit for the job to actually raise the women's game and

treat them with the respect and dignity they design. he will of course have supporters across society, there are not speaking out as loudly as those who are completely infuriated and angry by him, there is far more support for jenni hermoso and for these women, everywhere, ranging from your average person on the street all the way through to the government levels. in way through to the government levels. ., ., ., , levels. in the federation has reliuious levels. in the federation has religious statement - levels. in the federation has religious statement they - levels. in the federation has religious statement they are | religious statement they are threatening legal action against her, how can they prove she is lying? —— in the federation's later statement. it’s lying? -- in the federation's later statement-— statement. it's a good question, i am not sure _ statement. it's a good question, i am not sure they _ statement. it's a good question, i am not sure they actually - statement. it's a good question, i am not sure they actually can - statement. it's a good question, i i am not sure they actually can prove it. and i think the most troubling thing about the photos that your colleague was talking about, they actually look doctored. they look manipulated. of course this will have to be properly investigated, they will have to confirm it as such. but if you compare the photos to the tv footage that we have seen, they don't match. and the photos show that its rubiales been lifted byjenni hermoso, not the other way

around, that's meant to support the claim rubiales was making the assembly to say that she was the one who instigated and there was consent, which she has vehemently denied. so i am not sure how come illegally, they can go on to prove she is not telling the truth, he is not telling the truth, but i would imagine they will have to look into the television footage, have to investigate these photos as well. and the sea where the chips full, i suppose. and the sea where the chips full, i su ose. ., ~' and the sea where the chips full, i su ose. ., ~ ,, h, and the sea where the chips full, i su ose. ., ~' ,, . and the sea where the chips full, i su ose. ., ~ . ., suppose. thank you so much for shannu suppose. thank you so much for sharing your _ suppose. thank you so much for sharing your thoughts _ suppose. thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and - suppose. thank you so much for. sharing your thoughts and analysis with us this morning.— russian authorities say they have recovered ten bodies — and the 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 there are still questions about exactly what happened to him, as our moscow reporter

will vernon explains. i don't think there's very much optimism here about those flight recorders. a lot of the russians i've been speaking to are pretty doubtful that the real truth will ever be known about what happened to that plane. you know, earlier i was on a conference call with president putin's spokesman. it's a daily call that happens with moscow based journalists here. and you can more or less ask any question you want. and i asked dmitry peskov for his reaction to accusations from various western officials that it was the kremlin that was behind the killing of yevgeny prigozhin. and it's notjust western officials who think that — a lot of russians believe it, too. this is what dmitry peskov said to me. he said, those claims were an absolute lie. and he said, when we talk about this issue, we should only be guided by facts. we don't have many facts at the moment. they need to be clarified during the official investigation. so a clear denial there by the kremlin. but will that be enough to convince those at home and abroad who believe

that the russian authorities were somehow involved in this incident? i don't think it will. and here's why. whenever the kremlin is accused of anything and they have been accused of a lot of things, right, from poisonings and assassinations to committing war crimes and organising coups, the standard response is always denial. and if we cast our minds back to the beginning of last year, when we saw that russian troop build—up on the border with ukraine, there were many accusations levelled against the kremlin then that russia was planning to invade ukraine. and what was the kremlin's response to those? yet again, a denial. our moscow reporter will vernon, there. meanwhile, ukraine's counter—offensive continues

its creeping progress, with ground taken in and around the village of robottinna on the southern front, near the city of zaporizhzhia. analysts at the us—based institute for the study of war say the advances are �*tactically significant�* as ukrainians begin to threaten the russian army's second line of defences. meanwhile, several of ukraine's western partners this week stepped up their support, with commitments from the netherlands and denmark on delivering fi6 fighterjets in the coming months — and the pentagon has promised to start training ukrainian pilots and ground crews in october. about 2,000 items are thought to have been stolen from the british museum, but some of the missing treasures have started to be recovered. that's according to the museum's chairman. the organisation is one of the uk's most prestigious cultural institutions, but revealed earlier this month that a number of treasures were reported missing, stolen or damaged. a member of museum staff suspected of involvement has been sacked. and hartwig fischer, the museum director, is stepping down after saying a 2021 investigation was mishandled. former chancellor, george osborne, is now chair of trustees

at the british museum and has been speaking to radio 4's today programme. on behalf of the british museum i want to apologise for what has happened. we believe we have been the victim of thefts over a long period of time and frankly, more could have been done to prevent them, but i promise you this. it is a mess that we are going to clear up and i can tell you today that we have already started to recover some of the stolen items and we are going to deliver the stronger leadership that the public and the dedicated staff of the museum deserve and make sure that we emerge with a stronger british museum that is fit for the 21st century. george osborne, speaking on the today programme earlier. there will be disruption to rail services across much of england today, as members of the rmt union take part in their latest strike over pay and conditions. there will be a reduced timetable in place for much of the country, with some journeys into scotland and wales also affected. it's on the same day as events including the notting hill carnival, and reading and leeds festivals. the head of the rmt union,

mick lynch, says the strikes will continue until a new settlement for workers is reached. the government says it's made "fair and reasonable pay offers". it's the 24th strike since last summer. let's get more on this with ellie price. she is outside euston station here in london. tell us more at. it is pretty quiet here, tell us more at. it is pretty quiet here. actually. — tell us more at. it is pretty quiet here, actually, because - tell us more at. it is pretty quiet here, actually, because there . tell us more at. it is pretty quiet| here, actually, because there are not as many trains as they normally are. i say that, you look around and you probably would not know there is a strike on. the departures board is obviously what travellers turn up and look at straightaway. there are the blue hands of doom saying wait on a number of trains but those are the trend is expected to leave today, the trains already cancelled will not appear on the boards. not too many irish travellers just yet because of course this has been highly publicised so people have been checking before they had been travelling. there's been a similar picture across england, there are 11; train companies involved in this strike, so pretty much all ends of england. scotland and wales, there

is no strike but of course services to those areas could affected on the cross—border services. this is a strike that has been ongoing for nearly two years now, strike centring around pay and conditions for train workers. the government said it has been facilitating a deal. the train operating companies have said they have already offered a 5% pay offer. the union say it does not go far enough, and this morning we've been hearing from mick lynch. a decent pay rise, we are not greedy. we haven't had an offer, a clean pay rise without strings attached. and we're not prepared to fund these very modest pay rises through job cuts and cuts to the services that will affect our members but will also affect the travelling public, and many people who accept... ..who should expect a turn up and go, accessible, safe and secure railway. asi as i say this is a strike that is affecting across england. the timetable here, we are told, is

going to be around half the normal services on a saturday. significant come of course, because it is a bank holiday here in the uk, this weekend, the last big weekend of the summer holidays for many. so a number of events will be affected. here in the capital we have the notting hill carnival tomorrow, which obviously many people travel to. there is an international rugby game at twickenham. and of course there's the leeds and reading festivals amongst a number of other music festivals. which may well be affected when people are trying to get to them. as i say this is a strike that has been going on and on, i may sound familiar in what i am saying, this is the 2a strike we have had since last summer, and there have been other strikes announced for next saturday, and a train driver is a strike on friday. so a bit of train misery ahead, i think, for travellers here.- think, for travellers here. ellie, thank you _ think, for travellers here. ellie, thank you for— think, for travellers here. ellie, thank you for bringing - think, for travellers here. ellie, thank you for bringing us - think, for travellers here. ellie, thank you for bringing us the i thank you for bringing us the details on that. our correspondent

ellie price there. 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're calling for 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. our correspondent david willis has more. on thursday, hawaiian officials released a list of 388 names of people who were known to have been living in the town but were still unaccounted for, in the hope that it would prompt some who had survived to register with the authorities so they could be eliminated from the search. well, last night at a news conference, it was revealed that more than 100 people who were on that list or their relatives of people on that list, had got in touch to say that those people, those 100 or so people were, in fact, safe and sound. and the authorities in hawaii are still now trying to verify those claims.

the search operation is almost at an end around the town of lahaina. but officials say that whilst the death toll still remains at 115, it is expected to rise. meanwhile, maui county has announced that it has filed a lawsuit against the local power generator, hawaiian electric, alleging that the company ignored warnings of high winds, which brought down power lines and sparked fires. they're seeking undisclosed damages and say that the worst wildfires in america's history in more than 100 years could have been avoided had those warnings been heeded. meanwhile, hawaiian electric is facing a separate lawsuit filed by some of its shareholders. our correspondent david willis,

there. four young people have died in a crash in county tipperary in ireland. the male driver, in his early 20s, and three female teenage passengers, were killed in the incident in clonmel on friday night. it's thought they had been on their way to celebrate after receiving the results of their exams. to seoul now, where south koreans have been protesting about japan's release of treated water from the fukushima nuclear plant into the sea. japan began releasing waste water from the crippled plant on thursday. officials insist what they are doing is safe — but that hasn't stopped a fierce backlash from china and south korea. japan intends on discharging around 540 olympic swimming pools' worth of water into the pacific over several decades. this is seen as a big step in decommissioning the still highly dangerous site, 12 years after one of the world's worst nuclear accidents. here in the uk, the expansion of london's ultra low emission zone, or ulez,

comes into force on tuesday, meaning owners of the most—polluting vehicles will have to pay a charge to drive anywhere in capital. the scheme aims to improve london's air quality. while around 90% of vehicles in outer london already meet the emissions standards, the expansion has proved divisive — with some expressing concern about the potential financial impact of the daily charge for owners of vehicles which don't comply. with me is claire mcdonald, a campaigner with mums for lungs, a non—profit campaign group against air pollution. thank you so much for coming in and being with us. first, tell me why you believe the expansion into all of london will make a difference. we know of london will make a difference. - know that the ulez has a huge impact on air pollution. air pollution is a public health crisis, 40,000 in the uk lose their lives each year because of it, that's millions worldwide. we know that once you introduce the thing that this reduces air pollution. carbon dioxide produced in central london

as a young pilot, he flew aircraft taking test samples. having flown through the clouds, the aircraft was badly contaminated — obviously — and so were we to a lesser extent, because you just can't keep all the types of radiation out of the cabin and, although the air—conditioning was specially modified to get as much matter out of it, we still were — radiation had collected on us. the uk tested its first atomic bomb in 1952 in the pacific. around 40,000 british personnel took part in testing of atomic and hydrogen bombs throughout the �*50s and �*60s. many veterans and their families say exposure led to serious health conditions. the ministry of defence has said four large studies have found no valid evidence to link participation in these tests to ill health. more than 1,000 british veterans and civilians are believed to be alive today.

their medals are being made by worcestershire medal service at their workshops in birmingham's jewellery quarter. the design is symbolic. the reverse has the atom and an olive branch. the ribbon represents the white of the blast, yellow and red from the fireball, the black of the fallout, and the blue represents the pacific ocean, the skies of australia where the tests were carried out. the veterans minister visited the factory to see production under way. it's taken years of campaigning for the government to agree to recognise the nuclear test veterans with a medal. there's a lot of people who campaigned on this over many years and, you know, i'm delighted. it's why you're in politics — to actually do stuff for people who need you to do it for them, and that's what we did with this medal campaign. these medals will be on display on remembrance sunday, when test veterans will march along whitehall. this award a recognition for their service.

to scotland now, 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 — sights on loch ness from vantage points on land this weekend. almost 300 people have signed up to monitor a live stream from the search. it's 90 years since the modern myth of nessie began. and finally to cape canaveral in florida, where nasa's spacex crew—7 is on its way to the international space station. the launch of the dragon vehicle, named endurance, is carrying four astronauts representing four nations and space agencies across the globe. the astronauts will spend about five days taking over operations from the spacex crew—6 astronauts. the mission is part of a commercial crew programme and is expected to last more than six months. hello. i have got a pretty changeable

weekend weather—wise for you. yes, there'll be a bit of blue sky and sunshine, but there'll also be some big shower clouds producing those downpours of showery rain both today and tomorrow. could be heavy and frequent at times. i think tomorrow slightly drierfor some of us, compared to what we'll see out there today. but we've got low pressure sitting to the east of the uk — weather front wrapped around that area of low pressure. quite breezy conditions around the edge of that low pressure, so breezy for scotland, northern ireland, through the english channel, for instance, as well. you can see these showers that are peppering up through the course of the day — almost anywhere, really, but i think they'll be most frequent for central and eastern parts of england. and it's here that we're likely to see some thunderstorms. could be some hail, some lightning mixed in. cloudier skies across the northern half of scotland into western parts of northern ireland, as well. temperatures high teens or low 20s. but we are likely to see some of those showers affecting both reading and leeds festivals at times today, but there'll be some late sunshine, i think, for both those areas, as the showers gradually fade away through the evening hours. overnight, many of us dry with clear spells, some mist and some fog patches forming, but we will see further heavy showers rattling in across parts of wales

and the south west of england, too, and then perhaps into the west of northern ireland by the early hours of sunday. a bit more cloud and rain spilling in because this weather front is slowly approaching from the west on sunday. for most of us, actually, a bit of a drier morning but, again, those showers will build through the afternoon and it'll be central and eastern england as well as eastern scotland that'll see the most frequent and the heaviest. slightly less numerous than today, i think, those downpours, but you still could catch one almost anywhere. a slight improvement for wales and for scotland, too. and sunday, of course, marks the start of the notting hill carnival, which may be a little bit damp, i think — perhaps some brighter spells at times — but it is into monday that the weather does start to improve. because we've got this area of high pressure in the atlantic that's nudging its way in from the west, so squeezing away the bulk of the showers for monday. it's a bank holiday for many of us — not everywhere — on monday, and we've got some sunshine, particularly for southern and eastern parts of the uk. a bit more cloud working in from the northwest and there could be the odd spot of showery light rain just working eastwards in the breeze through the day. temperatures around about 16 to 19

in the north, but perhaps up to 20, possibly 21 in the southeast. it should feel relatively pleasant in those spells of sunshine. a drier day for many of us, then, on monday, but the week ahead looking unsettled, pretty showery and rather cool. bye.
