The Labour Run Council is struggling to pay off a huge bill for equal pay claims that dates back more than a decade. It has also had major issues with a new it system. Our Midlands Correspondent navteonhal is there. The first thing to say is that the city council here has not stopped functioning, it has a legal duty to provide Certain Services and they will continue, but this is a signal to government ofjust how dire the financial situation is here, and admission that the council here cannot pay its bills. The people i have spoken to around birmingham say they are worried about what the future may hold. But for those who have been watching the saga closely, in some ways today has felt inevitable. The pressure on this citys finances has been rising and rising, and europes biggest local authority is now in big trouble. The news that their council is, in effect, declaring itself bankrupt has left many People Living in birmingham shocked and angry. Oh my god, ive never heard of such a thin
Not have been so many consequences after that kiss. News coming in that jorge vilda has been fired. So much pressure on lewis row be our lawyers, who has insisted he will not resign despite all that pressure from fifa, from the team, internationally piling up. Of course the team coach had stayed in place, but that news just filtering in that he has been fired in at the aftermath of this. Our correspondent guy hedgecoe is there. We dont know a great deal of detail about the sacking ofjorge vilda, other than the stand and president of the Spanish Football Federation at the moment while Luis Rubiales are suspended by fifa, that he told the coach that he no longer held the post.

That they hope to spook kim jong un by making this meeting so public and putting the eyes of the world on him and on this travel, that he will decide it is just too dangerous to go, and by thwarting the meeting they probably hope they can thwart the arms deal. The us priority in this right now seems to be to stop these weapons getting to the front line of ukraine. But here in south korea the concerns run much deeper.

Translation i would like to iterate our principal position, we will be ready to consider the possibility of reviving the grain deal, i told the president about it today and we would do it right away. As soon as all the agreements recorded on lifting sanctions on the export of russian Agricultural Products are lifted. Ukraines black sea ports are now effectively blockaded by russia, experts say it will have to rely heavily on its ports along the danube river to export grain into neighbouring romania from where it can be transported further afield as romanias ports remain open.
