been accused of kissing a world cup winner on the lips without her consent. investigations into thefts at the british museum continue — as the institution says some of the two thousand items believed to be stolen have started to be recovered. more disruption to uk rail services expected today — with workers in england walking out over pay and conditions. plus, we're bringing you all the action and taking you behind the scenes at this years edinburgh festival fringe. hello. welcome to the programme. starting with some breaking news out of spain, all to do with the fallout from spain's women's football team

winning the world cup and then the football chief in spain luis rubiales kissing a spain player and the accusation being that it was done without consent. a couple of developments in the last couple of hours. the first is that several members of the coaching staff have resigned, a statement from 11 members of the coaching staff saying that the statement are luis rubiales offered a story that does not reflect in any way what was felt by jenni hermoso who felt she was the victim of aggression. that development coming in the last hour orso development coming in the last hour or so and the second main development is that luis rubiales himself saying we will defend himself saying we will defend himself after fifa have provisionally suspended him as president of spain's football

association. he releasing a statement saying we will legally defend himself after fifa have suspended him provisionally so to major updates in this case and we are getting developments hour by hour. a quick summary now from our corresponded in madrid. world football's governing body, fifa, has suspended luis rubiales, the president of the spanish football federation, from all football related activity, national and international for 90 days. and that is pending some disciplinary proceedings that fifa has brought against mr rubiales, which are related to his behaviour. at the end of the women's world cup final last week, when spain beat england in sydney, australia, at the end of that final, mr rubiales grabbed one of the spanish players. jenni hermoso kissed her on the lips and he says that was a consensual act. yeni hermoso has since said that it was not, and this has created

a huge backlash against mr rubiales government ministers. senior figures within the sporting world and other public figures have all come out criticising mr rubiales. in many cases calling on him to step down. however, he has refused to do that. he says that the kiss was consensual. he did nothing wrong and he has promised that he intends to stay on as federation president. however, there is pressure on him from the players themselves in the national team. they have said that they will not represent their country until mr rubiales is removed from office. and this latest suspension by fifa, of course, just puts more pressure on the federation president and makes this more of an international incident for spain, more of a worry on an international level. let's get the latest now, crossing

to our newsroom. our reporter sergi forcada is in the newsroom — tell us more about rubiales�* response to fifa's provisional suspension. yes, claims and counter claims, and plenty of statements, this is the latest one by the spanish football federation which includes the view after luis rubiales was provisionally suspended and he said we will fight the accusations and legally defend himself in the competent bodies that he trusts from fifa saying it will give him the opportunity to start defending himself in what he says in order to prevail and make sure the truth prevails and make sure he is seen as someone who did not do anything wrong, that he is complete the innocent and that innocence is proven. this is something that was said in the past few days that the kiss was consensual even though jenni hermoso who we've heard

monetary union saying that was not the case. another statement earlier today by fifa in which he has been temporarily suspended for 90 days, three months, and not only this but also being asked to refrain from himself or third parties to get in touch and contactjenni hermoso. this is something that the federation had tried in the past few days to get in touch with the player saying it was not possible and now fifa is saying while there is this investigation going on, please do not contact her.— investigation going on, please do not contact her. interesting. bring us u- to not contact her. interesting. bring us up to date _ not contact her. interesting. bring us up to date was _ not contact her. interesting. bring us up to date was more _ not contact her. interesting. bring us up to date was more of- not contact her. interesting. bring us up to date was more of the - us up to date was more of the reaction to all this, getting the news in the last hour about coaching staff and mass resignations. yes. staff and mass resignations. yes, another statement _ staff and mass resignations. yes, another statement and _ staff and mass resignations. yes, another statement and let - staff and mass resignations. 1&1: another statement and let any case, 11 members of technical staff across spain's women's football team have now resigned, basically what they say is they align with whatjenni

hermoso has said that they are not backing luis rubiales any more. it is interesting to see who the people are involved in this statement. there is not the name of the manager, ofjorge vilda, on the site of luis rubiales, but another coach, the men's coach, is starting to become a bit critical with him, even though it is interesting to say this because yesterday he was in the press conference where luis rubiales was defending himself and he was clapping the words of luis rubiales so lots of changes, lots of going on in spain, also in media a very hot topic, wildly debated now in the country and even though luis rubiales has said he has no plans to resign and we will actually defend himself and his views, many media are considering this not being a

matter of if we will go but when because of pressure from fifa and other national institutions in spain were also looking into this issue but lots of attention and many wonder when we will go. thank you for that, keeping _ wonder when we will go. thank you for that, keeping across _ wonder when we will go. thank you for that, keeping across all - wonder when we will go. thank you for that, keeping across all the - for that, keeping across all the developments for us. thank you. around two thousand 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. there's 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's 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. vivienne nunis reports. it is the first day of the bank holiday weekend but it is misery for many hoping to get away. 20,000 trained workers are on strike and

there is also planned engineering works with the end result was used services across the three days. we were going to an art exhibition and were going to an art exhibition and we bought tickets at the wrong time so it was a bit of a shock to find out our trains were cancelled. i understand why but from a selfish point of view it is difficult. going on too long- _ point of view it is difficult. going on too long. time _ point of view it is difficult. going on too long. time to _ point of view it is difficult. going on too long. time to sit - point of view it is difficult. going on too long. time to sit draft - on too long. time to sit draft should the table and sort out. the railway wrote to the train operator setting out what it calls a road map to end the current deadlock as well as a backdated pay offer and a guarantee of no compulsory redundancies, the letter calls for each train company to set out full details of the plan to change working practices with the industry saying the reforms are needed to form pay rises. we saying the reforms are needed to form pay rim-— saying the reforms are needed to form pay rises. saying the reforms are needed to form -a rises. ~ ., ., . form pay rises. we want a decent pay rise, we form pay rises. we want a decent pay rise. we are —

looks a long way off. let's get some of the day's other news now. 39—year old ian connell has been charged with murder after a body was discovered by police called to reports of a dog being stolen from a house. donald patience had been dead for days when he was found at the property in bury by manchester police. the london fire brigade says several homes have been severely damaged in a blaze at a building in east london. crews spent nearly three hours tackling the fire which took hold at the property after 6pm on friday. fifteen people were removed from the building uninjured. three 18—year—olds and a 24—year—old have died in a car crash in county tipperary, northern ireland. they ran into a wall in clonmel on friday evening. irish broadcaster rte understands they were on their way to meet friends to celebrate receiving leaving cert exam results. monday marks 60 years since 250 thousand people gathered

on the national mall in washington, dc, and heard reverend dr martin luther kinng deliver his celebrated "i have a dream" speech on the steps of the lincoln memorial. this is the scene live in washington, six decades on from the original speech. this is the seen live in washington. today — mr king's family, civil rights leaders and members of the public are gathering to mark the anniversary, which was the largest demonstration for human rights in us history and a display of unity among five of the nation's largest civil rights organisations. this is the seen live in washington. looking now at the lasting legacy of those famous words. the speech itself was part of a much wider civil rights movement, as we well know, which was campaigning for the end to segregation, as well as and what

is not as commonly known as the economic kind of rights that black people in america were denied at the time. and the speech, as we well know, and we very much hear the last 5 minutes of it, but it's a 17 minute long speech and the start of it is a really challenging indictment of the american system. and the system it criticizes are not only the civil rights which did go on to be won through the legislation that was created in the in the years afterwards. but it also talked about the economic injustice that was experienced and that, frankly, today still in america hasn't hasn't been resolved. and in terms of its importance for britain, clearly it was very inspiring and nourishing for lots of the civil rights movements that were developing here. but britain did have its own very specific history and geographies. if we think back to the 1960s, in the time of martin luther king speech, britain was still an imperial power. it was still facing challenge and independent movements from from colonies in the caribbean and in africa. we had our own civil rights movement that was developing very much within the domestic context and inspired both by the american

civil rights movement, but also by those wider independence movements as well. and sorry, justjust tojump in there, —— and sorry, just tojump in there, just because it's fascinating, you talking us through the points of that speech before the famous five minutes, because, like you say, that's not what is concentrated on so much. that's really interesting. just on the speech itself, before we come on to some of the wider points, what was it about the speech or the timing or that moment that allowed it to become this huge, huge moment in history? again, i think that the moment that it has become is not what it was at the time. there was a huge amount of hostility and tension at the time. so the favourable way we kind of now celebrate it, that definitely wasn't the opinion or the consensus at the time.

clearly, there was a lot of tension. there was efforts to try and have the march completely kind of banned. so it wasn't celebrated at the time. popular opinion actually was very much against it. it's only with the passage of time and the victory and the kind of the security of those civil rights that were won that we've now come to celebrate it. so i think that the words the delivery martin luther king himself, the the the power of that occasion has only really been kind of fully realized in the decades afterwards. a bit of sports news now — and the formula one world champion — and championship leader — max verstappen, has taken pole position at his home grand prix in the netherlands. it means he remains on course to equal the record of nine consecutive wins. the race is taking place in the seaside town of zandvoort — and it's banned formula one fans from arriving by car.

the event is aiming to be the most sustainable race on the fi calendar. 0ur correspondent, anna holligan, used a bike and the train fans have been flocking to the dutch fi by bicycle. this is a petrolhead event, without the usual levels of petrol. and that's because the town of zandvoort is mostly shut down to vehicles with just a few exceptions. so, the orange army is here propelled by pedal power and the desire to see the home—grown hero max verstappen in action. almost one third of supporters are expected to arrive by public transport, about one third by bicycle or mopeds and the rest by coaches, cabs and alternative modes of transport. more trains have been put on — a train is running between amsterdam central and zandvoort every five minutes. there's a whole fleet of electric buses and bike parking is everywhere. of course, one part of zandvoort isn't going green and that is the race itself. fi globally is under enormous pressure to try to improve its green credentials. there is a goal to achieve climate neutrality by 2030. efforts promoted by the dutch demonstrates how tracks can do more to preserve the environment without sacrificing pleasure or profits.

these examples, though, many of them will be hard to replicate in countries that haven't yet developed a cycling culture and infrastructure to support green travel ambitions. there is a goal to achieve climate neutrality by 2030. efforts promoted by the dutch demonstrates how tracks can do more to preserve the environment without sacrificing pleasure or profits. these examples, though, many of them will be hard to replicate in countries that haven't yet developed a cycling culture and infrastructure to support green travel ambitions. just taking a back to our main story this hour because we are getting developments pretty much every hour on the latest one being that 11 members of the women's team, the

hello, part one of the week has saw flashes of lightning. mostly heavy showers and thunderstorms who had through the rest of the day which will fade out through the evening in many ways of telling dryer with lengthy, clear skies and some cloud, one or two showers across western coast and later in the night we start to see this elephant working into western parts of northern ireland, that will bring outbreaks of rain here but under the clear skies, it will be fairly cool i think for the time of year. this weather front very slowly pushes its way eastwards across northern ireland, eventually crossing the irish sea where it will be a weak feature, no more than a band of clouds i think for northern ireland, sunday, we will see the cloud and light and patchy rain skipping in with scotland, england and wales seeing sunshine and showers with some of the heaviest across eastern scotland, eastern parts of england. some rumbles of thunder as well. top temperature

21-22 c thunder as well. top temperature 21—22 c was fighting for most. expect showers of part two of the weekend both for the reading and leeds festivals. and for the notting hill carnival a great chance of catching a shower on sunday which looks largely dry on monday with some good, sunny spells and temperatures in the low 20 celsius. as we head through sunday evening, looking like the weather front continues to push its way eastwards into western britain with a band of cloud, one of two spots of rain and for most places the showers will fade away and we are in with another clear and fairly cool night to come. that is sunday night out of the way and let's head into monday and for many of us money as a bank holiday and this front, weather front, is a very weak feature as across england and wales so patchy cloud and one or two spots of rain on it as it pushes its way eastwards otherwise quite a bit of sunshine around on either side of the front which means we will start to see the sunshine appearing in abundance

across scotland and northern ireland with temperatures of 21—22 c in the south—east then the high teens further north and west. staying showery unsettled across the country for this upcoming week though we will see a quieter spell with some sunshine and warmth across england and wales for a time.
