she accused him of "demeaning his office by opening the gates to whip up a public frenzy" against her. 11 members of the coaching staff from spain's women's team have resigned over the behaviour of the country's football federation chief. fifa has provisionally suspended luis rubiales after he refused to resign for kissing a world cup winner on the lips. rail passengers across england, scotland and wales are experiencing disruption today, as 20,000 staff have walked out over pay and working conditions. and the chairman of the british museum, george osborne, says some of the 2000 treasures — estimated to have been stolen from its collection — have already been recovered. now on bbc news, sportsday.

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 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. commentator: hermoso! jenni hermoso is now at the centre of a dispute with her own bosses.

last night, she said in a statement: but the spanish football federation responded, saying the president will show each of the lies that are spread either by someone on behalf of the player or by the player herself. they will now take legal action. the rfef say these pictures show rubiales is right and that this lift from hermoso meant she also gave consent. she has denied that action even happened. translation: is that so serious that i have to leave, _ having done the bestjob for spanish football? yesterday, mr rubiales had been expected to stand down but instead came defiance. translation: i will not resign. i will not resign. he said five times, "i will not resign." but this was the reaction in spanish papers this morning. the headline in marca 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 would like to give my unconditional support _ tojenni hermoso and the players of women's soccer. secondly, i want to condemn the conduct of the president of the federation which i find unacceptable. thirdly, i am sorry that the historical world cup milestone is not been talked about and 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. 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 fernandez 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 comeback. we got in some really good positions to score a goal but then you need luck to be on your side,

it's clear that that wasn't with regards to some things the game went. although... although the plays give 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. 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 another two 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 things still until the end of the market but the soul of this group of players, the quality, the results, the organisation, how we help them is here. it didn't go from last season, it is still here and we are going to show that during the season. of course, we need more numbers, more bodies, quality to help us to be stronger. it's back—to—back wins for tottenham now after they won 2—0 win at 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 bournemouth. life after harry kane is so far so good 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 we got the second goal, i thought we controlled the game really well. really pleased that, through most of it, we maintained our discipline. 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. everton remain bottom but its wolves' first points of the season. 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. brentford were good, asked a lot 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 were the team that 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. in the last hour, west ham have beaten brighton 3—1 at the amex to move to the top of the premier league. albion began the day as leaders themselves with two wins from two but went behind after a quarter of an hour when james ward—prowse scored his first goal for his new club. west ham spent the rest of the first half defending and after the break can thank alphonse areola for keeping out evan ferguson. not long after, the hammers broke and jarrod bowen ran practically the whole length of the pitch to double their lead. things swiftly got even worse for the hosts as michail antonio

made it 3—0 to the visitors. pascal gross pulled one back, but 3—1 it finished. 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 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.

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. 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 than summer. england in blue, quite like may though. commentator: jonny may! england 8—0 fiji. a first try by an 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 banned bunch could do nothing about it. the players on the pitch were helpless too. commentator: and england's hole gets darker and darker and darker! _ from the abyss into the light withjoe marchant�*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. despite trailing at half time, scotland go into the world cup off the back of a 33—6 win over georgia. duhan van de merwe scored two tries. gregor townsend's side face south africa in their opening pool match on sunday 10th september. 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. the brave are currently 170—1.

the winner 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. 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 0ur correspondence our correspondence is there. natalie, while trying to do sportsday i'm keeping an eye on the other screen here because ben pattinson has given us one of the moments of these championships. what a result for him in the 800 metres. absolutely incredible! he hasjust added world bronze to the commonwealth bronze he won last year and you know what? he really played down his chances. he got into the final and said to reporters, eighth

in the world, that's not so bad, is it? well, he went a lot better than that. he really run the race to perfection, really. he stayed on the shoulders of the leaders all the way round and then that kick down the final straight, round and then that kick down the finalstraight, he round and then that kick down the final straight, he is 21 years old from basingstoke, this must be the night of his life. he is actually still, over our shoulders celebrating, with the union flag around his shoulders. he hasn't actually come through to start talking to people yet so i'm sure we will try and grab a chat with him but, yeah, canada won gold, he was last year's but, yeah, canada won gold, he was last yea r�*s bronze but, yeah, canada won gold, he was last year's bronze medallist. a fantastic night already for great britain with potential more medals to come. ., ., ., ., ., to come. you mentioned, around about one hour's time — to come. you mentioned, around about one hour's time we _ to come. you mentioned, around about one hour's time we had _ to come. you mentioned, around about one hour's time we had the _ to come. you mentioned, around about one hour's time we had the for - to come. you mentioned, around about one hour's time we had the for both - one hour's time we had the for both finals for both the men on the women of the stop we have had their heats for the 4x4, men through but in the women's events, drama involving the united states?—

were just pipped on the line by great britain. remember tomorrow, were just pipped on the line by great britain. remembertomorrow, in the final, matt hudson smith fresh from his silver medal will come in for that race. hopes there as well, potentially of a medal.— for that race. hopes there as well, potentially of a medal. great stuff, we look forward _ potentially of a medal. great stuff, we look forward to _ potentially of a medal. great stuff, we look forward to the _ potentially of a medal. great stuff, we look forward to the finals - potentially of a medal. great stuff, we look forward to the finals of- potentially of a medal. great stuff, we look forward to the finals of the four by 100 in an hour or two. from hungary to poland where it's arguably the biggest night of daniel dubois life. he's hoping he can pull off one of the biggest shocks in british boxing history as he prepares to fight oleksandr usyk tonight. the wbo, wba and ibf titles are on the line in poland and our reporter ade adedoyn is there. penny further daniel dubois's thoughts at the moment, a joint task in front of him, how realistic is it that he pulls this off?— that he pulls this off? well, without a — that he pulls this off? well, without a shadow _ that he pulls this off? well, without a shadow of - that he pulls this off? well, without a shadow of a - that he pulls this off? well, | without a shadow of a doubt, that he pulls this off? well, - without a shadow of a doubt, this will be the toughest night of daniel dubois' professional career. he's up

against a man who was considered to be one of the best pound for pound fighters in the world at the moment, form a unified cruiserweight champion and unified heavyweight champion now. anthonyjoshua find out how tough it was in those two fights, particularly the second one in saudi arabia, oleksandr usyk showed how tough a fighter physically and mentally he is. daniel dubois has nothing to lose, he comes in here is a massive underdog. he's only been the distance once in his career and majority of the people i've spoken to say he has youth on his side and he has a puncher�*s chance, he is a hard puncher. the question is can he lands that punch that will cause one of the biggest shocks in heavyweight boxing history. he has been confident all week, as has oleksandr usyk, we can hearfrom both fighters now.

i'm grateful for my team, my wife, my lovely katarina. my country and ukrainian soldiers. thank you so much. applause my preparation is all good. we do a lot of work with swimming, we play football, we are dancing. prove them all wrong, shut them all up. - just do this one time - and that's it, argument done. the whole world will change, london will change. - no pressure on me, anyway, this fight, i this occasion, the scene is set. i'm feeling good, - i'm ready to cause an upset. we just heard daniel dubois say he wants to shut them all up where you are there, because of ukraine's strong connection with poland of course, it is fair to say the overwhelming support will be for oleksandr usyk tonight? without a shadow of a _ oleksandr usyk tonight? without a shadow of a doubt. _ oleksandr usyk tonight? without a shadow of a doubt. oleksandr - oleksandr usyk tonight? without a | shadow of a doubt. oleksandr usyk oleksandr usyk tonight? without a i shadow of a doubt. oleksandr usyk is a national treasure in ukraine. you are talking about a man who actually paused his career tojoin are talking about a man who actually

paused his career to join the front line with the troops. at the press conference on thursday, they presented him with an award, the army. this fight has been timed to coincide with ukraine's independence so it has been a very celebratory mood all week, lots of people waving the ukrainian flags and chanting his name and all the set piece media events that have been open to the public this week will stop he is a massive favourites, a huge global star, 40,000 fight fans shoehorned into this arena tonight and they have come to see their national hero in action. how this fight goes much will depend on how daniel dubois copes with the pressure, it is very intimidating here for some oleksandr usyk the massive favourite to win, for good reason as well. but if daniel dubois could win tonight, it will be one of the biggest upsets in heavyweight boxing history. bigger perhaps than when buster douglas knocked out mike tyson all those years ago. it knocked out mike tyson all those ears auo. , . , , years ago. it is a big if but we will wait and _ years ago. it is a big if but we will wait and see. _ years ago. it is a big if but we will wait and see. thank - years ago. it is a big if but we will wait and see. thank you. | novak djokovic says he has no hard feelings — after his vaccine status stopped him from competing at

last year's us open. he's been speaking ahead of the start of this year's tournament at flushing meadows on moday. he'll be hoping to end 2023 with three of the four grand slam titles. the first feeling that i have is excitement to come back because it is the biggest arena we have in our sport, biggest stadium and definitely the most fun, electric, exciting atmosphere out there in tennis. playing night sessoin in arthur ashe, no doubt. i am very excited and i will be able to play on the opening night on monday. one other person who's happy to be back at the us open is the former world number one caroline wozniacki — who's come out of retirement. 33 years old now with two children — she says she's happy to be joining a few other mothers on the tour. most of all, i am just proud that we are quite a few mums on tour that have paved the way for the future generation that it is possible to take a break, have a family and come back and, you know, the women have showed that you can still play at a very, very high level.

britain's domination in the women's kl2 finals at the para—canoe world championships continues, thanks to paralympic champion charlotte henshaw. she won today's final in just over 48 seconds— for her fifth gold in the event and her eighth world title overall. it was a british one two, with emma wiggs, taking silver. gb have won gold and silver at the last eight editions. i caught up with charlotte henshaw earlier. i started by asking her how she is feeling. i'm pretty sore at the moment, actually, it has not been long since i raced. immensely happy to win another world championship gold medal and more importantly, secure the slot for that event for the paralympic games next year. that was myjob coming in, the team all have jobs this week and that was mine. this is absolutely the first step on the ladder towards the paralympic games. we can't be selected if we don't have the quota spots come next spring.

but it would mean the absolute world, when i was ten years old i met a paralympic gold medallist and i knew it was what i wanted to do some day. so, to still be competing with the best in the world at the ripe old age of 36 having not known that my career would last this long, i feel immensely thankful and really privileged to still be able to do it and having had the career i've had so far. how special was it, charlotte, that it was a british 1—2 with emma wiggs in silver? yeah, emma and i have been racing each other since i came overfrom swimming in 2017, it was. thankfully, every major championship we have managed to get either one of us on the top spot step of the podium. the other in the silver medal position. we're immensely proud of that

and it is testament to the depths of talent in our british canoeing squad that we have world gold and silver medallists in this event and we are very proud to give up the tradition today. —— keep up the tradition. here's another one, i think i'm right in saying this that hope gordon got into para canoeing a big part because of you, charlotte, and she won her first gold yesterday. how proud did that make you? i mean, i remember when hope turned up at the gym in nottingham and it was kind of a, "what are you doing here?" she said, "it's because i saw your post about it on your social media," and i knew hope from my swimming days, we crossed paths many a time. i am actually usually in that race that hope won yesterday, because of the quota spot allocation i had to take a step back this time. it was tough for me to watch it without being on the start line, i always want to be out there, but i was immensely proud of her for winning that first gold medal and also, she did the job for the team and she brought that quota spot back to the uk and,

yeah, it was a brilliant afternoon of racing and, you know, there is a few of us former swimmers on the para canoe team so we like to think that kind of gave us a little bit of a step towards what we are achieving now in boats. charlotte henshaw speaking to me earlier. frankie dettori has won the ebor handicap at york on—board the 7—1 willie mullins trained absurde on his last apperance 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. that's all from sportsday. just remind you, the last 20 minutes that incredible story for ben pattinson taking bronze unexpectedly in the men's 800 metre final. the penultimate night there in budapest

at the world athletics championship, head over to bbc one or i play if you want to know what else is happening there with the finals of the four by 100 metre relay is, men and women still to come but for me and women still to come but for me and the team, that is all from sportsday. goodbye. 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. 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 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 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.
