is it the end of the road for rubiales? after the regional and territorial federations of the spanish football federation ask for the resignation of their president. it's success for swiatek in new york — and quickly too. she's into round two of the us open in less than an hour. but there are shocks on the opening day, as maria sakkari and holgar rune both crash out to lower—ranked opposition. and a year out from the paralympics, we're in france to see how things are shaping up ahead of the highly anticipated games. hello there and welcome along to the programme. lots to get through. and we start in spain, where it's been a huge day of developments in the story that continues to dominate world football, and the latest of which may finally spell

the end of luis rubiales�* time as the president of the spanish football federation, following allegations of an unwanted kiss on player jenni hermoso. it all happened after spain won the world cup over a week ago. rubiales said the kiss was consensual. hermoso said it wasn't. and now, after a week of criticism, rubiales has now lost the support of the country's football federation. in a statement, the rfef said: "after the latest events, "and the unacceptable behaviors that have seriously damaged "the image of spanish football, the presidents request "that mr luis rubiales immediately present "his resignation as president." they went on to say they will urge the corresponding bodies to carry out a deep and imminent organic restructuring in strategic positions of the federation, to give way to a new stage of management in spanish football. well, that all came at the end of a long day of developments where spanish prosecutors opened a preliminary investigation into whether the conduct of rubiales amounts to sexual assault. the spanish government earlier asked for the country's

sports tribunal to suspend him. and lastly, it's been reported the mother of rubiales, has locked herself in a church and gone on hunger strike over what she says is an inhuman hunt against her son. before the resignation was requested, hundreds of supporters of hermoso lined the streets of madrid to show their support and to protest against rubiales. many of the signs at the plaza callao, adorning the spanish phrase "se acabo" meaning "it's over" in reference to his time at the top of spanish football. there've been widespread calls from the footballing community for rubiales to be sacked, with more players, including alexis putellas and aitana bonmati speaking out on social media. the spanish labour minister yolanda diaz has spoken of "structural machismo" in the country and on monday, met with futpro representatives, the players�* union that looks afterjenni hermoso. translation: this is not a structural problem, - this is a problem of the organisational system

of the national football spain. and we have said that in the meeting we have just held. and briefly, we want to put the focus on that, that this is something that the female players are suffering every day of their careers. they have to face this type of discrimination and many others. well the controversy surrounding rubiales hasn't just stayed in the world of sport. the spanish government have also been involved, calling for rubiales to step away and the spanish secretary of state for sports insists what has happened over the last week shouldn't reflect spanish football as a whole. translation: i don't like to lie to people, i so i am worried. two weeks ago we were in a better situation to hold the 2030 world cup than we are today, but we are a stubborn administration and we are in a position of being able to explain to fifa, uefa, and the different international federations we must speak to, that spanish sport isn't what we've seen these past days.

and that spanish football isn't what we have seen these past days. away from the controversy in spain, let's get some of today's other football headlines. romelu lukaku looks as though he's heading back to italy once again — joining serie a side roma on a season—long loan. lukaku had been on loan at inter milan last season but now looks on the verge ofjoining up with former chelsea and manchester united managerjose mourinho. john herdman has quit the canada national side to take over at major league soccer outfit toronto. he spent seven years in charge of the canada women's team before switching to the men's side in 2018, leading them to their first world cup finals since 1986 last year. and roberto mancini has been unveiled as the new head coach of saudi arabia, less than a month after resigning from his previous position — head coach of italy. mancini's contract with saudi arabia is set to run until 2027. now to new york, where it took the defending women's champion iga swiatek less than an hour to cruise

into the second round of the us open. the world number one from poland was untouchable, beating rebecca peterson with no troubel in her opening match at flushing meadows. she won in straights sets as she aims for a fifth grand slam title. i am really happy with it. ifeel like i could play practically from the beginning and just didn't stop, so i'm just happy that this was such a nice first because first rounds are usually tricky, and also i'm happy that i had time to implement all the stuff i practised on. we have had a couple of early exits though, including the eighth seed maria sakkari. she was beaten in straight sets by spain's rebeka masarova, a player ranked 63 places below her. and a big shock in the men's draw too. numberfour seed holger rune out, beaten in four sets by roberto carballes baena — a player ranked 59 places below him. usa captain stacy lewis has announced her team for next

month's solheim cup, as they aim to win the trophy for the first time in three attempts. world number one lilia vu and second—ranked nelly korda are among nine automatic qualifiers, while lpga tour rookie rose zhang is also named. ally ewing, cheyenne knight and angel yin are named as the captain's picks. we are going overseas. we have lost the last two and this year the team is really good. their top six is as good as they've ever been, and we have a tall task ahead of us. so, on paper, yes, we have all these players high in the rankings but new york has a lot of things in their favour right now and we got to go break the streak. belgium's remco evenepoel has won stage three of the vuelta a espana, on the first summit finish of the race to move into the leader's red jersey. evenepoel pulled clear of tour de france winner jonas vingegaard with 200 metres to go in andorra, but then crashed through

a gaggle of camera people after he crossed the line, suffering a cut to his face. the paralympics get under way in exactly one year in paris, as great britain look to build on the success they enjoyed in tokyo two years ago. they won a total of 124 medals, including 41 golds. our correspondent, andy swiss, has been to find out more about how preparations for next year's games are going. ready to make an impact, britain's para table tennis team preparing for next month's european championships, but they know the ultimate goal is exactly one year away. rob davis won paralympic gold at rio in 2016 and after missing the last games through injury, he told me the paris paralympics can't come soon enough. yes, it's a huge motivation. paris is only over the pond and it will be nice to have my family will go over to watch me. that's been my fire, really, to get to paris, and i will keep

going and hopefully i'll qualify, and hopefully i can do some good. britain's recent paralympic form certainly bodes well, finishing second in the medals table in tokyo, winning 41 golds. so, what can they expect in paris? earlier this month the city held a test event in para triathlon. it wasn't entirely smooth — the swimming leg had to be cancelled because of the river seine's water quality, but it showed off the city's famous beauty and its sporting appetite. after covid meant there were no fans in tokyo, they're hoping for more than three million next year, a new paralympic record. to give to the athletes the platform they deserve, which is a full stadia, spectators, viewers around the world, but to feel the warmth of the crowds will be amazing for that and i do believe these games will be transformational, not only in paris, not only in france, but around the world. i can't wait for

the games to happen. and britain once again will be hoping to lead the way. this summer has been an array of impressive performances from dame sarah storey�*s 36th para cycling title, to another wimbledon crown for alfie hewitt and gordon reid. the challenge now is to make sure next year's celebrations are even bigger. andy swiss, bbc news. and finally, it might not be the easiest name to work into a song, but ange postecoglou's is already being sung on the tottenham terraces to the song angels by robbie williams. but the british singer supports english league one side port vale, so he wouldn't sing it himself. would he? # everywhere, oh, we'll play that we want to # with big ange postecoglou # whether i am right or wrong # it's big ange's ball,

# so you can keep your pochettino, # conte and mourinho, # and even christian gross # cos everywhere we go # i'm loving big ange instead.# guess i'm a spurs fan now, then. safe to say he is a fan of ange ball. thank you for watching. you can get all the latest sports news at from the bbc sport app, orfrom our website. thanks for watching. we will see you soon. take care. hello there. our final bank holiday weekend of the summer season was certainly dominated by sunny spells and scattered showers — some really potent ones on saturday, but by monday, fewer showers around, allowing us to get out

and enjoy some fresh air and glimpses of sunshine. quite a cloudy start, but into the afternoon, the cloud broke up and we closed out the day with some decent sunshine around. now, low pressure is set to dominate this tuesday and continue with that sunny spells and scattered shower theme. the trailing weather front here will certainly introduce more cloud across northern england, parts of wales and south—west england first thing in the morning, and some light, patchy rain here. we start off with sunshine across the north, but a few scattered showers will develop as we go through the day. and so, by the middle part of the afternoon, our weather front will be sitting across lincolnshire down into south—west england. ahead of it, still relatively mild, but behind it, we'll see some sunshine. there will be a few showers and some of these really quite heavy. for northern ireland, for scotland, it's a case of sunny spells and scattered showers — some of those showers could be really quite potent — the odd rumble of thunder and noticeably fresher, particularly on exposed north and west facing coasts. 15 or 16 degrees at the very best. now, that low pressure drifts away

and allows this brief ridge of high pressure to build as we move into wednesday. that means that showers will fade away and skies clear, and so, to start the day on wednesday, we could actually have a chilly—ish start with temperatures generally into single figures. but it will be accompanied by some spells of sunshine. a north—westerly wind still with us, and so that could just filter a few organised showers down through the isle of man, the irish sea into north—west england. but generally, it will be a quieter day with fewer showers around, but still, because of the wind direction coming from the northwest, those temperatures a little disappointing — 15—20 — that's 68 fahrenheit. thursday into friday sees rain across england and wales and just how far north that goes is subject to question. but after that, it looks likely that high pressure will build for the start of the first full week of september. so, yes, we are going to continue with that showery rain, but fingers crossed that high pressure builds and quietens

things down for the start of the following weekend.
