three weeks of fallout. now, luis rubiales has stood down from his post. you're going to resign? yes, cos i cannot continue my work. in this situation now, i think i have to do. the player he kissed, jenni hermoso, said it wasn't consensual and football's world governing body had already taken action. rubiales is currently suspended by fifa from all football activity. tonight, he added in his statement: last month, rubiales had 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 none before. now the man at the centre has stepped back from the game. joe lynskey, bbc news. 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 marseilles. 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. it was a very good performance. i think the first half he applied a lot of pleasure onto scotland but we did not get a lot of reward for that. in the second half, we took our opportunities that were dead.

we put some scoreboard pressure on them. overall a good win. it does not matter how you win, as long as you win. 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. 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 were going to get from chile. first time at the world cup — a very proud country. they were always going to get a spirited and hearty performance but they actually exceeded that by a long way 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 kazakhstan. 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 before 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 li—match series continues at the oval on wednesday. the a—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 mission today was to continue racing without trace. that is having the car filled with synthetic fuels rather than conventional fuel. with synthetic fuels rather than conventionalfuel. so with synthetic fuels rather than conventional fuel. so we had no extra oil that needed to get pumped out of the ground and as you could hear and see, the car is working and performing and we all had the same amount of fun, maybe even more fun. it is great to start telling a story and i have kids, i do care about them and i care about their future. so kids, i do care about them and i care about theirfuture. so i think it is up to a small and big steps to take them collectively and, yet, shift into the next gears. 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 a—time olympic champion who admitted — running is all he knows. joe wilson reports. britain's best ever running. age a0 with nothing more to prove, the urge to win was still there. it is instinctive for sir mo farah. the teenager at london's mini marathon, the unmatched champion for britain. ten global world medals and stride by stride didn't we windows moments with him? no half marathon puts on a show like the great north run. some 60,000 participants making their way from newcastle to south shields on a day too hot to be comfortable. among the elite runners, victory was impossible for sir mo farah. that did not diminish the occasion. the great north run is a fitting place to end it

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. as extreme weather conditions intensify, wildfires have been breaking out across the globe.
