immediately shut buildings made with a specific type of concrete that is prone to collapse until safety measures are taken and are in place, according to sources that say they are expecting some sort of government announcement. are expecting some sort of governmentannouncement. some government announcement. some schools governmentannouncement. some schools will have to relocate children to other teaching spaces, more than hundred schools are being contacted before the start of the new term, and remember the new term begins next week for schools across england. they are being contacted, over 100 schools, and safety measures include propping up ceilings made with reinforced aerated concrete, and apparently they are worried about the safety of this type of specific concrete. the department for education has not given a timeline for replacing this but school leaders have now called for an urgent plan to fix buildings.
2:50 pm
there was a report injune which said the risk of injury or death from school building collapses, schools made from this specific type of concrete, as very likely and critical, so clearly the department for education is taking no chances on this and is asking schools whose buildings are made with this material to shut down those buildings are made it looks like some children across england will not be able to attend school or at least if they do will be attending school and being taught in space is different to the ones they are used to. this is a breaking story and we will bring you more on this as and when we get it. the goalkeeper in spain�*s world cup winning women�*s football team has spoken of her disappointment that a contentious kiss has overshadowed their victory. katalina koll said people who stop her on the street want to talk to her about the kiss rather than offering congratulations. during televised celebrations, the president of the spanish

2:52 pm
they don�*t know what is happening with this controversy. tell me a bit more about luis rubiales because the last i heard there was no sign of him coming out and saying he�*s going to step down. what is the latest with him, what more do we know? the last news we had actually is more about his mother, she has been released from hospital after receiving medical attention. let�*s remember that she declared herself on hunger strike and locked herself inside a church because it was a way of protesting about the situation of what is happening with her son and as an attempt to try to get jenni hermoso to change her stance so at the moment there�*s not much news about rubiales, he is still suspended by fifa, still under investigation by spanish prosecutors, and it remains the possibility also open for the spanish sports authorities to open investigations on him as well. finally, there was a video going around ofjenni hermoso laughing
2:53 pm
and joking about the kiss. that video was used by luis rubiales as a sign, if you like, to try and put forward an argument, tell me about that. i have to say, spanish media have not drawn relevant attention to it and the overall feeling is that the video doesn�*t really change the situation. the bbc could not verify the video yet, and rubiales, as you said, there are reports he could be using it as a way to defend himself against the allegations. more on that story, of course, on our website. how many moons can you think of? well — there�*s a full moon, a crescent moon, a harvest moon — to name a few — and every so often — you get to see a blue supermoon. that was the case last night —
