luis rubiales has resigned as president of the spanish football federation following extensive criticism for kissing the spain forward jenni hermoso at the women's world cup final presentation ceremony. hermoso said the kiss after spain won the final was not consensual and she filed a legal complaint last tuesday. speaking on piers morgan uncensored, rubiales said he can't continue his work. joe lynskey reports. it was the image that overshadowed spain's world cup ending moment. a kiss from the

federation president that has brought three weeks of fallout. now lewis rubiales has stood down from his post. yes because i cannot continue _ down from his post. yes because i cannot continue my _ down from his post. yes because i cannot continue my work. - down from his post. yes because i cannot continue my work. in - i cannot continue my work. in this situation now it is the more intelligent thing to do. the player he kissed said it was not consensual in football's world governing body had already taken action. rubiales is currently suspended by fifa from all football activity. he added any statement tonight that waiting and holding on is not going to contribute to anything positive. neitherfor contribute to anything positive. neither for the federation north of spanish football. last month ruby alice —— rubiales refused to resign but as he stayed at the helm, more and more spanish players said they would refuse to play. much of the women's squad remain on strike. rubiales now follows the winning coach in leaving his position. the former president says he wants to

bring stability as spain bid to host the men's world cup. for the women's team this was a trophy that brought a split like numberfour. now the man at the centre has stepped back from the game. onto the rugby world cup and the joint favourites and defending champions south africa put in a typically ruthless and powerful display to beat scotland in their opening game in marseille. after a physical first half, two quick springbok tries took the game away from gregor townsend's side. it's the perfect start to their title defence for south africa who face minnows romania next sunday. scotland meanwhile, have a two—week wait to right their wrongs when they take on tonga. it was a very good performance from ours and i think in the second half i think the first half we didn't do so well and in the second half we came out and took our opportunities that were there and managed to put

on scoreboard pressure to them but a good win all in all. it does not matter how you win at a world cup as long as you do. wales held out against a dramatic late fiji fightback to edge their world cup opener in bordeaux. wales led 32—14 through tries from josh adams, george north, louis rees—zammit and elliot dee. fiji responded with four tries of their own before centre semi radradra dropped the ball with the wales at his mercy with the final play of the game. wales face portugal in nice next saturday before further group games against australia and georgia. this japan won a242 against tournament debutants chile. amato fakatava was player of the match after scoring two first—half tries. japan's bonus—point victory lifts them to the top of pool d, above england. but it was an impressive performance from chile on their debut. for me it is exactly what we thought we would get from

chile. first time at the world cup, are very proud country. you could tell it from their anthems and their fans and they were always going to be spirited but they exceeded that and put us under a lot of pressure. germany have sacked hansi flick as manager of the men's national team. flick�*s position was under pressure after a poor showing at the 2022 world cup in qatar where they crashed out of the tournament at the group stage. and then a 4—1 defeat to japan on saturday proved to be the final straw. so germany on the hunt for a new bossjust nine months out from hosting euro 202a. and talking of euro 2024, the qualifiers continue and there was an another defeat for northern ireland, they lost to kaza ksta n. the netherlands stay second in group b with a win over ireland. just ahead of greece who had a big win. albania are now top of group e after beating poland. serbia won in lithuania to move up to second in group g

and wins for slovenia and denmark leave them joint top of group h where northern ireland remain second from bottom with virtually no chance of qualifying. less than a month until the cricket world cup and holders england comfortably beat new zealand to level their one—day series. poor weather meant the game was reduced to sa overs per side and england started poorly — at one point they were 55/5. but all—rounder liam livingstone rescued them with an unbeaten 95 as they closed on 226/7. england's bowlers then made sure new zealand got nowhere near the target and went on to win by 79 runs. the four—match series continues at oval on wednesday. the four—time fi champion sebastian vettel was back in a red bull car this weekend, taking part in an environmentally focused motor racing event at the famous nurburgring circuit in southern germany. vettel brought an end to his 16—year formula one career at the end of last season. he was joined by both current and former fi stars —

including yuki tsunoda, david coulthard and ralph schumacher. the event is part of a push for motorsports to switch to fossil—free synthetic fuels in an effort to protect the environment. the big omission today was to continue to race without trace. a race without trails trace is feeling the car with synthetic fuels rather than conventional fuels rather than conventional fuel so we had no extra oil that needed to be pumped out of the ground and as you can hear and see the car is working on performing and we all had the same amount of fun, maybe even more fun. it is great to start telling a story. i have kids and i care about them and their future so i think it is up to all of us, to take small and big steps collectively and, yeah, shift into the next gear. one of britain's greatest athletes — sir mo farah — was given a spectacular send—off in his final race, the great north run.

it was an emotional ending for the four time olympic champion who admitted — running is all he knows. joe wilson reports. britain's best ever run. at the conclusion of the. aged a0 with nothing left to prove, urge to win was still there. it is instinctive for sir mo farah. the teenager at the mini marathon, the unmatched champion on the track for great britain. ten global gold medals and stride by stride didn't we live those moments with him? no half marathon put on a show like the three run. some 60,000 participants making their way through newcastle to south shields on a day too hot to be comfortable. among the elite runners, victory was impossible for mo farah but that did not diminish the occasion. find for mo farah but that did not diminish the occasion. and this is a fitting _ diminish the occasion. and this is a fitting place _ diminish the occasion. and this is a fitting place to _ diminish the occasion. and this is a fitting place to end - diminish the occasion. and this is a fitting place to end it - is a fitting place to end it all. ~ . , ,

threw away a 5 shot lead on the back 9, before recovering to force a play off with england's charley hull which she won on the second hole. great britain's dressage riders have capped a successful week at the european championships with two more medals. reigning world champion lottie fry narrowly missed out on gold in the final event — the freestyle to music, scoring a personal best of over 92 per cent on glamourdale, just behind germany's — jessica von bredow—werndl. charlotte dujardin came third on the ever improving imhotep — her second bronze of the week. charlotte is back competing after having her first baby. britain won the team gold medal last week. and before we go if you want the latest news and reaction to the men's us open tennis final, head to the bbc sport website and app. and there you will find all the latest sports news as well — that's bbc.co.uk/sport. from me and the rest of the team at the bbc sport centre, goodbye.

morning, all. a stormy end to our weekend of what has been quite a remarkable week of weatherjust passed. on sunday, we saw highs of 33 degrees yet again, so that, coupled with last week's temperatures, saw seven consecutive days where we've seen 30 degrees or more — a record for september. but our week ahead is certainly going to see a change. yes, we'll have some warmth on monday, but a noticeable, fresher feel for all of us. these are our maximum temperatures expected as we go through the week ahead, so low 20s quite widely. we've got a weather front then still pushing in from the north. it's a cold front, and this will gradually introduce the change to the weather story. eventually, that front is going to push its way steadily south and the wind direction swing around to more of a northwesterly, cooler, fresher air tucking in behind. so, to begin with,10—ii degrees in the north west of the great glen. a mild start once again for england and wales, still feeling quite

humid out there. and this is where we'll see the best of the sunshine and the warmth on monday. a showery band of rain through northern england and north wales. cloudy and sunny spells and scattered showers following in behind. fresher here, but ahead of that front, we're still likely to see temperatures peaking at 27 degrees — that's 80 fahrenheit. now, as we move out of monday into tuesday, that weather front is still there and it's still meandering its way slowly south and east, taking its time in doing so. ahead of the front is where we'll keep the milder conditions, so first thing on tuesday morning, 16 degrees fresher behind single figures for scotland and northern ireland, the front will gradually sink its way south. it could bring some much needed rain actually across the midlands, east anglia and southeast england. behind it, some sunnier spells and clearer conditions. so we're looking at 13—18 degrees here, highest values if we're lucky of around 22 celsius. then as we move out of tuesday, finally,

that frontal system eases away. high pressure is set to build and keep things quite quiet. that means a chilly start potentially in the far northeast on wednesday morning. maybe temperatures low enough for a touch of frost in sheltered glens of scotland, but it will lead to a largely fine bright day on wednesday, noticeably fresher with showers for the end of the week.
