federation luis rubiales. he was widely criticised for kissing playerjenni hermoso after the final, which she said was not consensual. rubiales has refused to resign, but has been provisionally suspended by fifa, football's world governing body. most of vilda's coaching staff resigned and 81 players refused to play for spain in the aftermath. concerns over vilda's coaching methods and regime were reported to have been a key factor in 15 spain players refusing to play for the national team last year. marca journalistjuan castro outlines the reasons why he feels vilda had to go. the research was clear. let's say the new federation has nothing to do with all that with ruby alice. build

up with all that with ruby alice. build up was one of the main systems of rubiales. the new federation doesn't want to mix rubiales with the new federation. second thing, the government is pushing a lot to sac vilda. third, with vilda, no one spanish world player will go to the national team, so no way for him to be national coach. so it's montse tome who will now take charge — she had been part of vilda's coaching team. the former levante midfielder won four caps with spain and will take charge of their upcoming games against sweden and switzerland this month. england's men's football squad have been training at st george's park ahead of their euro 2024 qualifier with ukraine on saturday. amongst them isjordan henderson. he has given his first interview to the media after leaving liverpool tojoin the saudi pro league.

in the interview with the athletic, henderson says he was "really hurt" after being criticised forjoining al—ettifaq. he has been a vocal supporter of the lgbtq+ community — same—sex sex activity is illegal in saudi arabia. in the interview, he says: cricket, and england are taking on new zealand in the fourth t20 international at trent bridge. jonny bairstow hit 73 from 41 balls, while dawid malan and liam livingstone both got 26, as england made 175 for 8. in reply, new zealand have made a rapid response.

they are 96—3 at ten over so far. a win for england would give them a 3—1 series victory. to the us open tennis where the men's world number two novak djokovic is on court right now. he's up against american taylor fritz in the quarterfinals at flushing meadows. it didn't start well for the american ninth seed. picked up just a single game in the first set, djokovic winning that 6—1, and he's picked up the second set 6—4. djokoivic has won all seven of his previous meetings with fritz. and in the women's draw, american teenager coco gauff stormed into the semi—finals for the first time with a superb, dominant victory over latvia'sjelena 0stapenko. the 19—year—old won 6—0, 6—2, in just 67 minutes to become the first american teenager to reach the last four since 2001. you can keep up on all the latest tina's —— tennis on the btsport

website. that is all the sport for the moment. on this programme on thursday night, we brought you news of the worsening situation in the south caucuses. armenia and azerbaijan have fought two wars over nagorno karabach. it's home to 120,000 ethnic armenians. but internationally, it is recognised as part of azerbaijan. the area you see there shaded in red is controlled by the russian peacekeepers, where the armenian community predominantly lives. sincejune, though, they've been cut off by an azeri blockade of the lachin corridor. the only road linking the armenian enclave with the republic of armenia. azerbeijan claims the armenians have been using that route to bring in weaponry and to export valuable natural resources. the government in baku says they can deliver aid that is staged and ready to go from another route, aghdam, an area to the east that azeri's control. but the karabakh armenians say accepting it would be tantamount to surrendering their self—declared independence,

and so they have blocked it. in the meantime, there is no food, fuel, medicines and other essential items going into that region. these pictures from the main city — azerbijan call it khankendi armenians call it stepanakert — show empty shelves in supermarkets and long cues for bread. on thursday, we spoke to serj tankian — he is the lead singer of the armenian—american heavy metal band system of a down — and artak beglaryan, who has advised the self—declared leaders of nagorno—karabakh. part of it has to do with azeri oil going through europe. a lot of russian oil has been repackaged to go through the azeri pipelines to europe. a lot has to do with geopolitics, unfortunately. there is 120,000 people, 30,000 of which are children, there's 120,000 people, 30,000 of which are children, that are literally on the brink of starvation. this shop, one of the biggest shops of nagorno—karabakh is fully empty. and there is nothing.

the bread supply now on these days, already is over 15% of the whole demand. there is no flour because they are shooting to our agricultural farmers. we don't have enough fuel in order to transport the flour and the wheat to the capital city and many other problems. the former prosecutor at the international criminal court, louis moreno 0campo, said in his opinion, there is reasonable basis to believe that a genocide is being committed. he quotes a un convention that defines genocide as "deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction." he has recommended the security council refer it to the icc. that is an opinion the azeri government has fiercely contested and any reporting of it. they have hired the british lawyer, kc rodney dixon to contest it,

who is with us tonight. also here is a journalist and political analyst with caliberaz newspaper — which is based in azerbaijan — 0rkhan amashov. thank you both for being with us. you've been hired by the is erie government, if i'm right in saying this, just on the basis of the opinion that luis moreno 0campo has put forward. opinion that luis moreno 0campo has ut forward. , �* , put forward. yes, i've been commissioned _ put forward. yes, i've been commissioned by _ put forward. yes, i've been commissioned by the - put forward. yes, i've been - commissioned by the government of azerbaijan to review the report and the allegations made in its findings, because it was a very serious allegation that was called. just to be clear, you've not been on the ground, you've not spoken to people in this army and enclave. you're making yourjudgment purely on the basis of international law.

yes, also on the basis of what mr 0campo alleged and what is publicly available. looking at it in the independent way to determine whether or not this allegation is made out. what would you say in legal terms about the blockade and why it does not amount to a genocide in your viewed? it not amount to a genocide in your viewed? ., , �* ., ., ., viewed? it doesn't amount to aenocide viewed? it doesn't amount to genocide because _ viewed? it doesn't amount to genocide because mr- viewed? it doesn't amount to | genocide because mr 0campo viewed? it doesn't amount to - genocide because mr 0campo hasn't identified any evidence to show that you can't make an allegation as serious as genocide. we all know the historical basis of it and how important it is without there being very clear evidence. i highlighted the fact that the government of azerbaijan is offering food to the population in nagorno—karabakh. and

that's acknowledged fully enough, i don't think. renowned actor david harewood is descended from slaves, slaves owned by the current earl of harewood's forefathers. this is henry, the second earl. he's the guy who owned my ancestors. yeah. which is why you share the name. yeah. each slave was given the surname of the owner. my family's history and your family's history interlock in a weird and dark way, historically. the portrait in the frame. wow _ the room where it will end up. hey. david. — dude, how are you, man? good to see you. that is fantastic. now, this new work by the artist ashley karrell will sit amongst the harewood family portraits painted by the likes of reynolds and gainsborough. it's a commission for harewood house's missing portrait series to reflect a more truthful history. hundreds and thousands of people visit this house. when they see that, they're going to stop for a minute and go, "hang on a minute." "so what's he doing?" "what's he doing?" and that's exactly the question we want them to ask.

exactly. and then they will understand the legacy of slavery. i'm not responsible, but i am — and i feel this very strongly — i am accountable for the legacy of that time. and that's what we've tried to do in many ways here over quite a long period of time now. 230 negroes... what's that say, at £45... per person. ..per person. the archives itemise plantation property — enslaved people listed below horses, goats and cattle. and after slavery was abolished in the 1830s, the lascelles received £26,000 in compensation. that's more than £2.6 million today. slaves got nothing. and more widely, demands for apologies and reparations are increasing. do you think the british government should apologise for slavery? i'm100%... to acknowledge it is at least making, is going towards mending it. healing. and until you do apologise, that sense of healing, i think, will remain a bit of an open wound. there's a part of me

that just wants to scream, "burn the place down," but i'm not sure what that would achieve. it's a complex issue. at least we can talk about it, because i don't think being angry about it is going to achieve much. visitors to this house are now part of that growing conversation, about the brutality and enduring legacy of slavery. katie razzall, bbc news, west yorkshire. now to our ongoing coverage of the impact of the cost of living crisis, particularly on parts of the world that were already struggling. lebanon is one country that's acutely affected. before the country's ongoing troubles, families met $1.5 billion of the country's annual education costs, with government spending only 1.2 billion. runaway inflation has led to major drops in household income, spikes in private school fees and a nationwide teachers�* strike. now, 15% of households have taken children out of schools.

live now to laura frigenti, ceo of global partnership for education. why does cost of living affect education?— why does cost of living affect education? ., ,, , ., ., ., education? thank you for having me. it affects education _ education? thank you for having me. it affects education in _ education? thank you for having me. it affects education in many - education? thank you for having me. it affects education in many ways. i it affects education in many ways. it affects education in many ways. it makes the opportunity of sending children to school less affordable for parents because they have to choose between what they could see is more essential expenses like food, like the cost of housing, tools and support for work, etc. so one of the first things that needs to be cut is, in their view, obviously sending children to school, and i think as you were mentioning in your notes on lebanon,

the cost of sending children to school is pretty significant for poor households. in some cases, it accounts to 30% of their total income. 0bviously, these are decisions that are pretty dramatic for families to decisions that are pretty dramatic forfamilies to make. decisions that are pretty dramatic for families to make.— decisions that are pretty dramatic for families to make. does it affect uirls more for families to make. does it affect girls more than _ for families to make. does it affect girls more than boys? _ for families to make. does it affect girls more than boys? well, - girls more than boys? well, unfortunately, _ girls more than boys? well, unfortunately, yes, - girls more than boys? well, j unfortunately, yes, because girls more than boys? well, - unfortunately, yes, because what we have seen historically is that when there is a moment of difficulties and a family has multiple children and a family has multiple children and has to decide which one to pull out of school, the girls are always the first to be pulled out. the boys are the ones that are more protected. this is of course in this particular historical moment on the back of a very difficult situation that was created by covid—19. several children will pulled out —— were pulled out of school because of

schools closing, etc. so, the hope we had of children going back to school after the pandemic is now really a hope that is very, very cleansing. really a hope that is very, very cleansing-— really a hope that is very, very cleansin_ . . , ., , cleansing. what are the implications of this law? — cleansing. what are the implications of this law? a _ cleansing. what are the implications of this law? a country _ cleansing. what are the implications of this law? a country like _ cleansing. what are the implications of this law? a country like lebanon. of this law? a country like lebanon depends on its use youth and education and skills. is there a missed a generation here that can affect the country in the future? i'm glad you asked this question because when i talk to the leaders of the world about the crisis, there is always the impression that education crisis is a crisis that only impacts individuals. in reality, what we are seeing is that if the right set of skills are not used in a society and economy, that

economy doesn't grow. there is the impact on individuals, but there is also the fact that the society is impoverished, has fewer opportunities for growth and therefore is much more inclined to have social, economic and political instability. for example, pave the way for migration. so, there is a whole unfortunately negative circle that starts with children not being in schools. the other thing i wanted to stress is that when i visited, for example, some ethiopian schools, i saw that children in the school were being given much more thanjust education. they had school meals, they had health services, etc. not being in school takes away from them much more than just education. really important point. how much schools are in part of society. i'm

sorry to rush. laura frigenti, thank you for being with us. if you want to read more, there is plenty more on the bbc website. we're going to go to a quick break. we'll be back with our panel very shortly. hello there. it was another hot day today, particularly across central and southern parts of the uk. it looks like temperatures will build further over the next few days. the peak of the heat wednesday and thursday and we'll also see the humidity increasing as well, and that's going to make it feel a bit more uncomfortable, both day and night. 0ur area of high pressure sitting over scandinavia is drawing up the heat from the near continent. low pressure sits out towards the west. we're drawing this heat up from france mainly, where we're seeing some pretty high temperatures at the moment. now, as we head through the evening and overnight period, it looks like more extensive low cloud, mist and fog will roll into parts of eastern scotland, eastern england, maybe around maybe around the irish sea coasts as well.

elsewhere, it's going to be largely clear and dry and quite a muggy night developing, particularly towards southern counties. wednesday, then, we start off with that early mist and fog. low cloud across eastern areas will tend to burn back to the coast. it could linger across some eastern coast of scotland, but it's a dry, sunny day for most of us, and a hot one. england and wales, high 20s widely, could be up to 32 celsius or so across the south—east. mid—20s there for scotland, northern ireland. as we move through wednesday night, there's a chance we could see some showers and thunderstorms moving through central and western areas, though most places will stay dry again with clear skies. but it's going to be a warm and a muggy night, pretty uncomfortable for sleeping across parts of england and wales. into thursday, then, a bit of a difference. we will see the chance of further thundery showers out towards western areas in response to the high humidity. but i think for most thursday, it's going to be another dry and sunny one, with temperatures again reaching the 30 celsius mark or so across southern areas, but again, mid—to—high 20s widely across england and wales. friday, a similar story,

a bit of a misty start. that mist melting away quickly, and then it's going to be dry. plenty of sunshine again. chance of some thundery showers out west, particularly for northern ireland. but again, you can see it's going to be another hot day — high 20s for many, again, 30s or low 30s across some some south—eastern areas. into the weekend, low pressure starts to edge in a bit closer to the uk, so it destabilises the atmosphere for northern and western areas. so this is where we're likely to see the temperatures start falling, increasing chance of showers or thunderstorms, but it stays hot and sunny for most of england and wales this weekend. it's not until we get into next week that things start to cool down.

hello, i'm christian fraser. this is the context. there is a question mark now over whether this meeting will go ahead, because, as you say, kim jong—un rarely leaves the country. what it's confirming here, of course, is the prospect of deepening relations between the two countries. it's not going to reflect welli on north korea and they will pay a price for this _ in the international community. you heard it there.

the white house saying tonight north korea will "pay the price" if it delivers ammunition to the kremlin. the white house says it has intelligence that kim jong—un will meet with vladimir putin in russia later this month. we will discuss that with our panel tonight. paul waugh, the political editor of the i paper, is with us. alsojoining us, the best—selling author and professor of marketing at the stern school of business in ny, scott galloway. also on our programme: the leader of the far—right militia the proud boys, who led the violent assault on the capitol, is to be sentenced to prison. we think in the next hour. we will bring you live news on that. and a new law in ny that doesn't so much limit airbnb in the city — it bans it almost entirely. is this the start of a backlash against short—term rentals in densely populated cities? the north korean leader kimjong—un will likely pay a visit to the russian president vladimir putin later this month, most likely in the eastern port city of vladivostok. the white house says the russians are looking to source more ammunition from north korea to bolster their war effort in ukraine. russia's urgency to make new gains provides mr kim with an opportunity. it is notjust the recognition

from his big superpower
