We heard police cars and sirens and thought. Then another one, then another one. And then i came to the gate to have a look, and, you know. There was, like, ten, 12 police vehicles. For a while, there was concern more people could be hurt. It happened just after children had been let out of the village primary school. We were notified about 3 25 by the police that there had been an incident on main street, and a text was immediately sent out to all parents to advise that they were to bring their children and selves back to the school site.

It is a scene that has now been repeated thousands of times. I cant describe it, when you see peoples death. Maybe when you
After weeks of controversy, Luis Rubiales has resigned as president of the spanish football federation. It follows weeks of pressure for him to resign, after he kissed Jenni Hermoso on the lips after spains victory over england in last months world cup final. Hermoso said the kiss was not consensual.
