both his kissing or football or jenny her most so on. the lips has overshadowed spain's world cup when despite cools to resign, ruby alice has refused to budge, claiming the kiss was consensual in a defiant speech. for some time, it was a spontaneous ques, mutually full forward and consensual. that is the key. i found the vehicle is that so serious that i have to leave off to having achieved the best performance in the history of spanish football? do you think i should have to resign noble? well, i am going to tell you something wrong. i will not resign. i will not resign. i will not resign the double you ought to be the most. that was quick to categorically reject ruby outlets. his claim that she had consented to the case i felt vulnerable and the victim of an

impulse driven sexist out of place, act without any consent on my part. simply put, i was not respected most as teammates of backing her saying they won't play again until ruby y'all is, is gone. the spanish government is taking steps to make that happen, launching legal action to get ruby all is suspended from his post protest and say he should have quit already. the kevin, i think we should have resigned. and i also believe the putting the blame on the victim and trying to get away with it is a huge, a lot of right back all the things that i think he should have left after assuming his responsibility and okay, anybody ever say, you know, i mean there's, there's one's already at the stuff saying, no, so he's not only blaming the victim but playing the victim himself denying any wrong doing despite what i'm the pressure we're be all is and the football federation have double down again, insisting in a statement that the kid was consensual and threatening legal action.

let's bring in mark meadows from dw sports so market. let's review the spanish football federation is threatening legal action against its own players as a week after they won the world cup and all because of a disputed chest. in all the years that you've been a sports journalist, have you ever seen anything like this? no, it's quite incredible. even just in the last 24 hours let alone the week. we've had since the actual wilk of the final. and yesterday we were sure ruby ellis was going to resign. you didn't complete the opposite. then the players went on strike. and then we have this veneration statement where they're basically saying, i'm also his line. we uh brittany legal action. it was a consensual case. obviously the federation does what ruby alice says because of the moment will be out is, is still the president isn't clear at the moment. if it's so it will be alice against the players of the federation against the players. but this veneration statement had photographs and in which they say show that have most

o picked him up 1st and she kind of initiated the embrace. now some people in spanish thing, those pictures don't actually tally with the video evidence. so that's going to be interesting angle to it going forward, but it's, it's just such a mess. goodness gracious, as you well know, dozens of spanish players women in man or now refusing to play on the national teams. so this is mean that international games the upcoming will have to be altogether cancel. will the men play next in early september, the women in late september, and it is the nations league, women are playing and which is the most salubrious of, of, of tournaments. so i actually think actually they'll get it salty before then, but it's a too long play is now from men and women who said they won't play. so if it does die gone, then yes, it's a big possibility. to be honest, certainly seem determined to keep his job,

but it's very difficult to imagine him hanging on. it is, i mean, the reason last thing keeps going to get sorted before these international matches is because he's position is now untenable. unless remember, it's not just the case. there was a history of controversy. he was will be honest before the world cup. he actually faced another mutiny from the squad they wanted. the coach water gave them to to be sacked because they felt that he wasn't professional enough. they didn't like his methods. will be obvious to buy him with the others can say i'm vindicated. we will, the will cook, the people even at the time was saying, well, if the spanish maintenance team had said we don't have confidence in the coach that go through the whole, most certainly have gone. so how come the women's voice wasn't feeling of um, so people was saying that was maybe 6 is as well. then as the at the wilk final, when the final whistle went in spring beating them will know. it's probably celebration in the roll books. he actually grabbed hold of his corruption from the forwards. now he did actually apologize for that yesterday and the speech because

the queen of spain and adults who was very close to him. so we apologize to them for that. but, but you know, you've got visa, brittany, legal action against him. you've got the government to take them to a tribunal. i mean, any fed 90 person would say that case was not consensual if she didn't expect it. he thinks he's sort of going against the vote mob, but i'm pretty sure by the end of the week he will be gone. watch this space. so dw sports, mark meadows many 6 let's look at some of the other headlines from around the world at this hour. in india, 9 people have been killed in a fire in a train wagon official said it was sparked when a gas cylinder exploded, while being used to boil water to make tea, the train was stationed at a rail yard in the state of the terminal. now to the officials in hawaii have released the names of more than 300 people. still missing 2 weeks after the us states devastating fire the f. b,

i has asked people to come for to help reduce the number of possible casualties. at least a 115 or confirm dead. after a wildfire destroyed the town of behind on mountain new jersey, new military rulers have ordered frances in baset or to leave within 48 hours. but who to said the expulsion order had been given. as the envoy refused to engage with leaders, france has rejected the demand saying it doesn't recognize the military government's authority. while greek authorities have arrested 2 men for arson, as the country grapples with a wave of devastating wildfire. official said, the men had deliberately started fires on the greek island of area and in central greeks. firefighters are still babbling several blazes across the country, including one close to the border with turkey that has already burned through more

than 700 square kilometers of land. least 21 people have died in fires in the past week and thousands more. have been forced to evacuate our grease correspondence, sophia cliff talkie joins me now for more. hi, sophia, what's the latest? a lot of fires also raging across greece. michael and what is more the pollution of the air is on a very concerning level this morning. now, since you could see that just being transported by the wind from moans and bombing that were the big fire and nearby athens was an older people and other are advised . we're a face mask in order to protect it from the episodic evolution. now the garden um, regarding the efforts to, to put down and to control and the fires the batch, so continues to the age as the now as a new fires break out,

this time is expected to be because of a very heavy lightning strikes that we have and you breakouts on the out of am um those and then the south of athens in the area of buying and uh, we have many. so it does look um that a so uh, as of today, the government, of course, is blaming are saying that how is the absence of a long term wildfire strategy. fueling frustration with the government's response in greece as well. the frustration goes in general towards the handling of the government in a crisis when the, when the train crash happened and in greece, and that was in march in 2023. we finally got to, to practice was talking back then about a tragic human error as to this time again. and it's the human score we're blamed

by the greek government. but this is something that the fuse is the frustration, of course, as no responsibility is taken by the government. instead, it was stated more than once by the prime minister. um that the big authorities have done everything of their power in order to, to put down the place in order to contain them and, and that the government was well prepared. and so we acted immediately, ended that created everything, evacuated the settlements that were affected by the fire, but as for the population, this is not answered for what they asked for. and this is what we see and grow. so there is a dw, sophia, cuz i've talked the many, many things nasa and space acts have launched a 4 person crew to the international space station in a reusable dragon spacecraft. the 4 astronauts each from different countries lifted

off from florida, a top a fountain 9 rocket. they will dock with the space station after a journey lasting almost 30 hours engineers delayed the launch by day to review the capsule safety and live support systems. a part of the nation's goal is to examine the range of health hazards. astronaut states. its hope dick in shed light on, they hit their immune system steak, which has remained a mystery until now. space travel challenges, human health on many levels. the immune system also takes a hit, some astronaut on longer emissions to the i ss, developed persistent skin rashes, for example. many appear more susceptible to infections like colds, or coughs. it's hard to tell exactly what's causing the immune system problems because the body is also affected in very direct ways because of the fluid shift,

we have a higher training of the pressure, so more liquid in the brain and that, so this pressure also squeezes the uptick of enough at all, it might actually also squeeze the eye boards. so our vision acuity changes in space. so why does our immune system appear to work worse and space researchers in canada may have the answer. they studied a group of 14, i assess astronaut and found that many immune system james began acting differently after they arrived on the station. blood samples were taken before during and after emissions. they revealed remarkably similar patterns of how jeans were acting in the astronaut to white blood cells. white blood cells play a key role in fighting off infections, so changes in how their genes act could have an impact on overall health. from the list of genes that are expressed that are all have a reduced expression in space and those things that are related to immune functions

. and that coincides with a higher risk of infection. that after not swelling counter while in space around $100.00 immune system, genes grew less active in the astronaut white blood cells. soon after they reached space, $29.00 genes grew more active. gene activity returned to normal. soon after the astronaut to return to earth, the researchers think the changes caused the immune system to work less effectively in space. one hypothesis is that there spurred by the wait list, environment, spacecraft are a long way from the next doctor or hospital. so understanding what happens to our immune systems when we leave the fetters of gravity behind to keep astronaut as healthy as possible, will be key to planning longer space missions in the future, like those to the moon, mars, and beyond. and here's your reminder of our top story. these spanish women's

football team say they won't play unless they are football association boss steps down over a kiss he gave to player jamie, who most of she says the case was not concerned and we will end it there. of next shift living in the digital data, but to report on v, your tourism and travel for the future when you use at the top, the next the stay up to date. don't miss our highlights. the t w program online. d, w dot com, highlights the fast fashion as an environmental nightmare. a closing graveyard image of land desert. this is where things wealthy industrial nations no longer need and.
