hello and welcome to saturday sportsday — i'm chetan pathak — coming up on tonight's programme: most of spain's coaching staff from their world cup win resign — but luis rubiales still refuses to go for kissing a player — despite fifa now suspending him. all smiles in the end — but manchester united suffer an almighty scare against nottingham forest. and england's nightmare preparations for the rugby world cup end in another defeat — as fiji beat them for the first time. welcome along, thank you forjoining us. the president of the spanish football federation has today been provisionally suspended
6:32 pm
by football's world governing body fifa. the pressure continues to grow on luis rubiales who is refusing to resign after kissing player jenni hermoso on the lips following spain's women's world cup final win over england. in the last few hours, spain's entire coaching staff from that world cup win, except for head coachjorge vilda, have resigned over the row. joe lynskey reports. spain's winning world cup moments could soon become a legal battle. this was the kiss from their fa president that overshadowed the week they became world champions. luis rubiales has refused to resign, but football's world governing body has now taken action. they have also ordered him and the federation not to contact the player involved. ., , .,

will not resign. he said five times, i will not resign. but this was the reaction in spanish papers this morning. the headline here read global embarrassment. all of the world cup winning coaching team, except for the head coach, have now stood down in protest. while 81 female players say they won't play for their country until the president is gone. the coach of the champions of la liga gave this message. translation: i message. translation: ., ~' message. translation: ., ~ ., , translation: i would like to give my unconditional— translation: i would like to give my unconditional support _ translation: i would like to give my unconditional support to _ translation: i would like to give my unconditional support to jenni - unconditional support to jenni hermoso and unconditional support tojenni hermoso and the place of women's soccer. secondly, iwant hermoso and the place of women's soccer. secondly, i want to condemn the conduct of the president of the federation which i find unacceptable. thirdly, iam federation which i find unacceptable. thirdly, i am sorry that the historical world cup winners not been talked about and that this conduct is intolerable. it isjust six days that this conduct is intolerable. it is just six days since women's football in spain had its greatest night. but a world cup win meant to unify a nation has instead brought a bitter fallout.
6:35 pm
next to an eventful day in the premier league, nowhere more so than at old trafford where manchester united came from 2—0 down to beat nottingham forest the visitors had a dream start, with taiwo awoniyi putting them a goal up afterjust two minutes and it got even better when willy boly doubled that lead two minutes later. but united recovered from their worst start in premier league history, christian eriksen pulled a goal back before half time, casemiero equalised early in the second half. forest had a player sent off before bruno fernandes got the winner — to the relief of manager erik ten hag. horror start, but then the character of the team was brilliant. stayed so calm, so composed and get back in the game, stick to the belief, stick to the plan. and then you see, we played some very good football. scored three good goals so brilliant
6:36 pm
comeback. we got in some really good positions to score _ we got in some really good positions to score a _ we got in some really good positions to score a goal but then you need luck to _ to score a goal but then you need luck to be — to score a goal but then you need luck to be on your side, it's clear that— luck to be on your side, it's clear that that — luck to be on your side, it's clear that that wasn't with regards to some _ that that wasn't with regards to some things the game went. although... although the plays give everything in the performance, we still come — everything in the performance, we still come away disappointed. after the full time whistle at old trafford, thousands of manchester united fans remained inside the stadium to protest against the glazer family, repeating their calls for the owners to go. they'd indicated last year that they could sell the club but negotiations are believed to be continuing with prospective investors with no clarity on when they might end. there was drama at arsenal today as well — as they dropped points for the first time this season — as fulham fought back to get a draw. joao palhinha with the goal that made it 2—2 with three minutes to go, all the more impressive because fulham had a player sent off before that. mikel arteta's side were a goal down inside a minute before saka and nketiah turned the game around, but there was one final twist with the points shared.
6:37 pm
we dominated the full game, we created i don't know how many chances, i lost count. we should have scored five, six, seven goes easily. the most difficult thing is to get back in the game against a team that is well organised. you have to defend your box in one corner, the only chance they have to score and you don't and then you get penalised, punished and you get to make chances, don't score and that is the story of the game. the amount of things we did do merit to win the game very comfortably, we end up with one point. we know what we need and we need many— we know what we need and we need many things still until the end of the market but the soul of this group — the market but the soul of this group of— the market but the soul of this group of players, the quality, the results. _ group of players, the quality, the results, the organisation, how we help them — results, the organisation, how we help them is here. it didn't go from last season, — help them is here. it didn't go from last season, it is still here and we are going — last season, it is still here and we are going to— last season, it is still here and we are going to show that during the season — are going to show that during the season 0t— are going to show that during the season. of course, we need more numbers, — season. of course, we need more numbers, more bodies, quality to
6:38 pm
help us_ numbers, more bodies, quality to help us to— numbers, more bodies, quality to help us to be stronger. so it's not arsenal but tottenham who are top of the early premier league table after their 2—0 win over bournemouth. james maddison opened the scoring early on in the first half after getting on the end of a lovely ball from pape sarr. ange postecoglou's side making sure they started the game on the front foot. and it only got better for spurs in the second half. a well—worked team goal meant dejan kulusevski was able to take the game away from a bournemouth. life after harry kane is going so far for new manager ange postocoglou. i thought first half was really good. some of our football and intensity and play and tempo was excellent. we knew bournemouth would put us under a bit of pressure, but i thought we handled it really well. didn't start the second half too well, first ten, 15 minutes but once well, first ten, 15 minutes but once we got the second goal, i thought we controlled the game really well. really pleased that through most of it, we maintained our discipline.
6:39 pm
more problems for sean dyche and everton, its three defeats from three at the start of the season for them, as they were beaten 1—0 by wolves at goodison park. wolves' first points of the season, everton remain bottom. all premier league wins are massive. especially on the road. especially your first one with a new group. so, it had a feeling about it, but, yeah, not because it was everton or because we were both on zero points, just really because it's a premier league game away from home working with a new group trying to instill belief in what we do. which they have, but there is nothing like a result to convince you that you're on the right lines. joachim andersen's second—half goal secured a valuable point for crystal palace at brentford. the home side had taken the lead in the first half but both teams lacked a cutting edge and palace were deserving of the draw after stepping it up in the second half. bre ntford brentford were good, i asked a lot
6:40 pm
of us. we didn't concede that many goal chances but i thought they had the better of the play during that period. luckily, we came out in the second half and changed that around. i thought for large parts of the second half, we with a team that were in control, looking as though were in control, looking as though we might get an equaliser even before we did. when we got one, of course, it was our centre back making a corner run in the six yard box which is quite frankly something i'd like to say we work on but we don't. confirmation of all those results here — arsenal's perfect start to premier league season has ended after that draw with fulham. one match going on at the moment on the south coast. west ham have the lead, james ward—prowse with the goaljust before the 20 minute mark. kemar roofe showed why michael beale talked up his importance to rangers with the opening goal in a 2—0 win at ross county in the scottish premiership. the manager spoke on friday about the striker being key to his plans this season despite nine new signings — and he opened the scoring
6:41 pm
with this volley — marking his first start in 16 months. james tavernier�*s strike sealed rangers victory, four days on from drawing 2—2 with psv at ibrox in a champions league play—off. and rangers' gap to the league leaders celtic is just a point after brendan rodgers side were held to a 0—0 draw by stjohnstone. hibs remain bottom, its three defeats from three for them after they lost 3—2 at home to livingston. motherwell in second beat kilmarnock 2—1. right, england's preparations for the rugby world cup have gone from bad to worse today — with fiji beating them for the first time ever. it finished 30—22 to the pacific islanders at twickenham, meaning england go into next months world cup having lost five of their last six matches. ben croucher was watching. there's not been much for england to smile about before the world cup,
6:42 pm
defeats, suspensions and injuries but against fiji, one last chance to head to france with some form. with the rain falling, it felt more like autumn or spring and summer. england in blue quite like may though. janna:t in blue quite like may though. jonny ma , in blue quite like may though. jonny may. england _ in blue quite like may though. jonny may. england eight _ in blue quite like may though. jonny may. england eight - _ in blue quite like may though. jonny may, england eight - zero - in blue quite like may though. jif?�*u�*u}' may, england eight — zero fiji. in blue quite like may though. jonny may, england eight - zero fiji. a. may, england eight — zero fiji. a first tribe in england back in more than six hours of rugby. the heavens opened but the scoring dried up, for england anyway. nayacalevu when fiji had a player in the sin bin and some of england's band bunch could do nothing about it. the place on the pitch were helpless too. and pitch were helpless too. and england's — pitch were helpless too. and england's hole _ pitch were helpless too. and england's hole gets - pitch were helpless too. fific england's hole gets darker and darker and darker!— england's hole gets darker and darker and darker! from the abyss into the light _ darker and darker! from the abyss into the light with _ darker and darker! from the abyss into the light with joe _ darker and darker! from the abyss into the light with joe marchand'sl into the light withjoe marchand's converted score pulling england to within one until they weren't. 30—22 it finished. a famous first fijian victory over england and with that world cup just a fortnight away, england willjust have to grin and bear it. scotland are playing georgia in theirfinal warm up match before their first
6:43 pm
world cup pool match. they lead 1a—6 into the second half. duhan van de merwe with the scots first try. actor gerard butler enjoyed that one too! time now for some of the day's other sport stories and northern superchargers are through to the final of the hundred women's competition after rain ruined their eliminator against welsh fire. the superchargers advance to play southern brave in tomorrow's final at lord's by virtue of having finished higher than fire in the group stage. in the hundred we're now under way with the men's eliminator — manchester originals against southern brave. originals won the toss and decided to bowl. the winners will face oval invincibles in sunday's final at lord's. red bull's max verstappen beat mclaren's lando norris to pole position in a crash—strewn qualifying session at the dutch grand prix. mercedes driver george russell was third, while team—mate lewis hamilton could manage only 13th.
6:44 pm
there are eight gold medals to be won on day eight of the world athletics championships in budapest with great britain hoping to win more medals on the penultimate night. our correspondent natalie pirks is there. we were speaking last night, slightly noisy when we spoke then, in terms of these relays. two events we have our eyes on in particular, let's start with the four by 400 metres. ., . ., let's start with the four by 400 metres. ., .., .,. ., , let's start with the four by 400 metres. ., ., , ., metres. you can actually hear it behind me. _ metres. you can actually hear it behind me, this _ metres. you can actually hear it behind me, this is _ metres. you can actually hear it behind me, this is heat - metres. you can actually hear it behind me, this is heat two - metres. you can actually hear it behind me, this is heat two of l metres. you can actually hear it l behind me, this is heat two of the men's four by four. we just had heat one which was with great britain and they have qualified for the final, they have qualified for the final, they came third behind the usa, of course, in first, the reigning olympic and world champions. in second was india with a national record and the tokyo bronze medallists botswana were just pipped on the line by britain. it was a great race. their sprinter on the anchor leg just getting them on the line to ensure the european
6:45 pm
champions, great britain, are into that final. in the final, matt hudson smith, fresh from his silver in the men's 400 individual event, will come into that line—up. coming up, we have the heats of the women's four by won bronze at last year's world championships, they are in heat two against the usa who have won seven of the past eight world titles. that should be a great race as well. remember, britain already have a silverfrom as well. remember, britain already have a silver from the mixed relay which was on day one.— have a silver from the mixed relay which was on day one. natalie, we were with you _ which was on day one. natalie, we were with you last _ which was on day one. natalie, we were with you last night _ which was on day one. natalie, we were with you last night when - which was on day one. natalie, we were with you last night when we | which was on day one. natalie, we i were with you last night when we had the heats for the four by 100 metres relay and we have dish interest in the final for both the men and the women. , ,., the final for both the men and the women. , �* ., �*, ., , women. yes, so, britain's men are up first in the _ women. yes, so, britain's men are up first in the four _ women. yes, so, britain's men are up first in the four by _ women. yes, so, britain's men are up first in the four by one. _ women. yes, so, britain's men are up first in the four by one. as _ women. yes, so, britain's men are up first in the four by one. as arnel- first in the four by one. as arnel hughes got fourth in the agonisingly 200 individual event but he will come into that line—up. britain qualified only seventh fastest for that race after a bit of a scruffy
6:46 pm
but on exchange, it should be quite a fascinating final. the reigning champions canada didn't qualify. olympic gold medallists italy were the fastest in the heats, also the fastest in the year so far. obviously, usa are the team to beat, they will have the double champion from the 200 to come into this team. remarkably, they have only one won olympic or world title in the last 15 years. at 8:53pm, the women's four by one. great britain in a medal position last year but you might remember they pulled up with an injury. they could get the bronze but all eyes in that one, if it all goes to plan for them, will be between the usa and jamaica. they have been trading world titles between the two of them, america are 5-4 between the two of them, america are 5—4 up, there is a lot of fans here who would love to see jamaica equalise, essentially. should be a fascinating final. it equalise, essentially. should be a fascinating final.— fascinating final. it should be, we look forward _ fascinating final. it should be, we look forward to _ fascinating final. it should be, we look forward to it. _ fascinating final. it should be, we look forward to it. thank -

at the knavesmire. dettori overcame a wide draw to claim victory inside the final furlong over sweet william and live in the dream. the 52—year—old had earlier won the city of york stakes on the 9—4 favourite kinross for trainer ralph beckett. detorri is set to retire at the end of the flat season. ican i can tell you just before we go that west ham now lead 3— nil. you can keep across it over on the bbc sport website, i will be back in around 30 minutes with sportsday but for now from in the team, good night. hello there. part one of the weekend has been very showery indeed. we've seen some torrential downpours in places with flashes of lightning, rumbles of thunder. we can expect much of the same for part two of the weekend as well. now, most of the heavy showers and thunderstorms which we've had through the day will fade out this evening and many places to turn dry with lengthy, clear skies.
6:56 pm
still some cloud, one or two showers across some western coasts. later in the night, we'll start to see this weather front working into western parts of northern ireland. that'll bring outbreaks of rain here. but under the clear skies, it'll be fairly cool, i think, for the time of year. so, this weather front then very slowly pushes its way eastwards across northern ireland, eventually crossing the irish sea, where it'll be very weak featured, no more than a band of cloud. so i think for northern ireland for sunday, although it starts bright, will see the clouds build and a light and patchy rain will move in from the west through the day. for scotland, england and wales, it's a day of sunshine and showers and again, some of the heaviest showers will be across eastern scotland, eastern parts of england, with some rumbles of thunder, flashes of lightning there as well. top temperatures, 21 or 22 degrees. otherwise, it's the high teens for most. and expect a shower as well for part two of the weekend, both the reading and the leeds festival, some good sunny spells in between, temperatures around 19 or 20 celsius
6:57 pm
for the notting hill carnival, where the greater chance of catching a shower will be on sunday. it looks largely dry on monday with some good sunny spells and temperatures in the low 20 celsius. now, as we head through sunday evening, it looks like that weather front continues to push its way eastwards into western britain. a band of cloud, one or two spots of rain on it. but for most places, the shells will fade away the showers will fade away and it'll be another clear and fairly cool night to come. so that's sunday night out of the way. let's head into monday. and for many of us, monday's a bank holiday. this front, this weather front, will be a very weak feature as it crosses england and wales. so, patchy cloud and one or two spots of rain as it pushes its way eastwards. otherwise, quite a bit of sunshine around on either side of that front. and we'll start to see this sunshine appear in abundance across scotland and northern ireland. temperatures 21, maybe 22 degrees in the south—east. again, it's the high teens further north and west and it stays quite showery and unsettled across the country for this upcoming week, although we will see a quieter spell with some sunshine and warmth across england and wales for a time.
