between 19 and 21. thanks, ben. and that's bbc news at six. you can keep up with all the latest developments on bbc website. from the six team, it's goodbye — the news continues here on bbc one, as now it's time to join our colleagues for the news where you are. goodnight. hello and welcome to sportsday. it's friday night. i'm chetan pathak. coming up on the programme: refusing to resign — the president of the spanish fa says he won't step down despite coming under increasing pressure to go after kissing a player at the women's world cup final. can zharnel hughes become the first british man to win two individual sprint medals at one world championships? we'll be live in budapest. making progress — maclaren�*s lando norris heads max verstappen in second practice at the dutch grand prix as formula one returns from the summer break. also coming up on sportsday before 7pm: we'rejoined by manchester originals' phil salt, as this season's hundred comes to a climax. and how pulling cars and lifting weights saved his life — the man hoping to be crowned britain's strongest disabled man this weekend. welcome along, thank you forjoining us. spain's women's world cup win over england has been overshadowed since sunday by this man, luis rubiales, who today has refused to step down as president of the spanish football federation following his behaviour at the final. he's been strongly criticised for this moment — when he kissed strikerjenni hermoso on the lips as the players celebrated their victory. rubiales says it was mutual and consensual. hermoso has called his actions completely wrong and through the union that represents her stated that he shouldn't go unpunished. before that happened, this is ruby alice grabbing his crotch. spain's queen and her 16—year—old daughter stood nearby. the spanish government is looking to discipline ruby alice, calling it spanish football causing me to moment. ——'s #metoo moment. there were widespread reports in spain that rubiales was going to resign today. instead, at an extraordinary general assembly called by the spanish football federation, he defiantly vowed to fight until the end. translation: is that so serious| i have to leave while having done the best job for spanish football? do you really believe i have to resign? i will tell you something. i will not resign. applause i will not resign. our reporterjoe lynskey has been following the story. joe, defiance they from ruby hollis —— defiance there from rubiales. what has been the reaction to this speech today? chetan, this was a spanish squad that was facing issues. we know several players were left out of the world cup squad because of their issues with the conduct of the coachjorge vilda. but alexia putellas is one player who did travel to australia. figurehead of this team, the current holder of the women's ballon d'or. she tweeted to say, "this is unacceptable, it's over. i'm with you, partner, jenni hermoso." now, hermoso, the player who rubiales kissed on the lips, aitana bonmati won the world cup golden ball award for the best player — she said, "there are limits that cannot be crossed and we cannot tolerate this." the strongest statement from the men's game has ceom from real betis player borja iglesias, who played for spain as recently as march this year. he said... plenty of others in the men's game also commenting, including david de gea. but worth reflecting, chetan, finally on the words of one of the greats of the game in this country, the men's world cup—winning goalkeeper iker casillas, who said... joe, we have had comments from the spanish secretary of sport, saying he wants this to be spanish football's #metoo moment, and when it comes to this issue in spain, it is notjust about rubiales? yeah, as you can imagine, social media in spain has been full of conversation about notjust this one but a wider context. and one video that's resurfaced there today is this from a documentary called break the silence, which looked at the conduct of the coach shown in this footage, ignacio quereda, who was in charge of the spanish national team from 1988 to 2015. you do only need to scratch the surface to find more examples of problems sportswomen in spain have faced. at the madrid open, just three months ago, the organisers apologised after finalists in the womens' doubles event didn't get the opportunity to make speeches when they received their trophies. those in the men's doubles final were allowed to do so. and in the same month, in the same city, the winner of a women's mass participation road race was presented with a food processor. the race organisers apologised but said the prize wasn't sexist, adding, "this product is ideal for any athlete who wants to improve their nutritional habits. " but the spanish government's minister for equality, angela rodriguez, said it meant, if you won, you were a housewife. it is these kind of incidents that continue to frustrate those working for greater representation of women's sport in spain. sexism is very prevalent, unfortunately. it is something that is very normalised here, which is why you have someone like luis rubiales basically saying he doesn't understand what he did wrong and he feels as though he clearly didn't do anything wrong. and that is a major red flag, it is a major concern. and even pedro sanchez, the president of spain himself, said that this is a perfect example of the long road we have ahead of us in terms of achieving equality between men's and women's rights. hopefully, if any kind of good can come from this situation, we do have a reflection as a society, as a whole, and we try to find a better way forward as equals. so it's been a day where spain has been in sharp focus in the sporting world. and it all comes as the country bids to co—host the men's football world cup in 2030, the centenary edition, alongside portugal, morocco and ukraine. we wait to see now if fifa considers what's happened this week as they make that decision. act rubiales is still the subject of... governing bodies may be looking for reassurances from spain of change there. chetan. 0k, ok,joe ok, joe lynskey, this is not the last we will have heard of this. thank you for that. we're heading into a big night at the world athletics championships in budapest. five days after zharnel hughes became the first british man to make the 100 metres podium at a world championships for 20 years by winning bronze, he'll be racing in the 200 metres final, whilst british hopes in the women's event rest with dina asher—smith. our correspondent natalie pirks is there. shejoins us now. natalie, another busy night, talk about zharnel hughes looking to make history and become the first british man to win two individual sprint medals at one world championships after all the challenges he has had a sub this is some year he is having. it challenges he has had a sub this is some year he is having.— some year

wrote down in his diary that day he was going to run a macro it came to be. a month later he broke the british record in the 200, 19.73 a month later he broke the british record in the 200,19.73 so, yeah, he is having a contest season. the brilliant bronze in the 100. he is coming to the shooting really good form, but it is very, very difficult to see past noah lyles, he was crowned the 100 metres champion last weekend, and nobody has beaten him over the 200 distance since the tokyo olympics in that time, so come he looks in amazing form, despite being in a crash last night, a bizarre crash, but he is gunning for yacine boat's record. i don't think zharnel hughes... will beat him tonight. we will see what happens. you can see jamaica behind me, they came second in the form i wanted

the 100 metre final, stacked, so is this final. the defending champion got second—fastest time in history last year, then sha'carri richardson come the new 100 metre champion, also gabby thomas from the us, the faster time this year. i've got to be quiet because they are about to start the relays behind me, but i think it is going to be quite tougher dina. darryl neita is also writing that final

natalie pirks in budapest, thank you. right, on to football. they're close to spending a billion pounds on players since american businessman todd boehly tookover. not sure if it is going to be as loud as that at stamford bridge, we will see! tonight, chelsea will be hoping things click on the pitch and they get their first win of the season, having taken just a point from their first two games. newly—promoted luton town are the visitors to stamford bridge in the friday night game in the premier league, with chelsea boss mauricio pochetinno confident his new side's fortunes will turn around soon. we will win, we will succeed in the way that... the players are buying the ideas and philosophy and it is only a matter of time. it is a process, we cannot force to go quick on the time. it is all about the work and confidence. really looking forward to the game. this is what we have all worked so hard for, nights like this, friday night football at stamford bridge. it is a big reward for all the hard work that everyone in the football club has put in for a long, long time. that being said, we want to enjoy the occasion by putting on a really good performance. former premier league referee mike dean says that he intentionally overlooked a penalty incident whilst on var duty last season, to save his friend and fellow official anthony taylor from any extra "grief". dean was the video assistant for chelsea's 2—2 draw with tottenham in august 2022 and says he didn't send taylor to the pitchside monitor to review christian romero pulling marc cucurella's hair because it could have led to more interaction with both managers, who'd already been carded. dean was stood down for two months afterwards and subsequently retired as an official. these are the thoughts of former player kevin campbell. i think it is absolutely scandalous, absolutely scandalous, and ijust don't know why he would come out with it, because that is just showing you that he is not doing his job. i know there could be a caring element that he was worried about him, but used to have to do your job. it is a dereliction of duty, he is not doing hisjob, and that probably could have cost chelsea a big win in the london derby, considering spurs scored from that corner, and it was a draw. it has left a sour taste in my mouth them if i'm honest with you. kevin campbell speaking to ben croucher there on the latest edition of the football news show, which you can watch on bbc iplayer. staying with football, the new fifa women's rankings are out today, and off the back of the world cup and reaching the semis, sweden are up to number one in the world for the first time, whilst after six years at the top, the united states — who lost to sweden in the last 16 — are down to third. spain are up to second after becoming world champions. beaten finallists england stay fourth. let's have a quick look at some of the other stories making the headlines today. england coach sarina wiegman has been named on the shortlist for the uefa women's coach of the year award. the 2022 winner led the lionesses to victory in last year's euros, of course, before steering them to their first women's world cup final. jorge vilda, whose spain team won the final 1—0, and barcelona'sjonatan giraldez are the other nominees. arsenal striker folarin balogun is nearing a £35 million move to monaco, despite interest from chelsea and inter milan. negotiations are continuing, but the 22—year—old is expected to return to france, where he enjoyed a prolific loan spell with reims last season. and west ham have reached an agreement to sign midfielder mohammed kudos from ajax on a five—year deal worth £38 million. the ghanaian will travel to london on saturday to complete a medical. formula one is back after the summer break, with the two—time world champion max verstappen looking to pick up where he left off. victory at his home dutch grand prix would make it nine wins in a row, equalling the all—time record set by sebastian vettel, also for red bull, in 2013. but it was mclaren's lando norris who hated him in second practice. our reporterjennie gow will be back in the paddock for the first time — which is great news. she spoke to me a short while ago. iam i am really looking forward to it. the fact that there will be almost 300,000 fans going across the weekend, it's a max season, he has beenin weekend, it's a max season, he has been in superb form, all of that, plus the fact that is my first real race back since i had my stroke, yeah, it is a pretty special feeling. yeah, it

and pretty epic, and it was eventful that practice session today, especially that second one. they saw max verstappen go fastest in the morning of that and then as you say a pretty dramatic free practice two session with both of the ossie's in the barriers. oscar piastri went first, daniel ricciardo also crashed at the same point. they did not have any contact with each other but it looked like a mirror image of the same accident. daniel ricciardo has gone off to hospital for precautionary checks on his hands, but, yeah, it was a strange incident. it hands, but, yeah, it was a strange

not the first weaver that about formula 1 of course. where do you stand on it all in terms of verstappen's under domination at the moment? ~' ., ., . ., ~ moment? heekin metronomic leak deliver the

yes, it is a boring period for the sport in terms of the top of the field of battle, we have seen it before with lewis hamilton, sebastian vettel, michael schumacher. they deserve their place in history notjust because it is boring but because they dominated so wholeheartedly, and max at the moment is able to do just that. jennie gow, speaking to me. ican i can tell you, she mentioned daniel ricciardo there. he has now been ruled out the rest of the dutch grand prix weekend. he might be the big underdog hoping to pull off one of the biggest shocks in british boxing history, but heavyweight daniel dubois says he is ready to "prove to the world" he's the best as he prepares to fight oleksandr usyk tomorrow night. the wbo, wba and ibf titles are on the line in poland and our reporter ade adedoyin is there. dubois, won 19 fights, lost once, but this is going to be a different test for him against a tactical mastermind? what did we learn from today's way in? the mastermind? what did we learn from today's way in?— today's way in? the thing with usyk is a wild professional... _ daniel dubois has a punchers chance. he has youth on his side. the challenge is landing that punch. if he does come a huge moment in boxing, but it is going to be very, very tough task for him. oleksandr usykis very tough task for him. oleksandr usyk is a heavy favourite and for a good reason. they will be there to see the one man, the ukrainian national treasure in their country. should be fascinating. ade adedoyin in poland, thank you. sport and exercise can help people in many different ways as you know, but for matthew smyth from poole, he says it's saved his life. born without hip or knee sockets, matthew was struggling with his mental health during lockdown, until he picked up some weights. two years later, he's been crowned england's strongest disabled man and this weekend is looking to win the british title. logan lawson reports. when i was growing up, i always suffered with depression. i used to self—harm quite a lot. i've had multiple suicide attempts in my life. it's not a nice story, but it's my story. i'm proud of that. for matthew smyth from poole, becoming england's strongest disabled man has notjust been a battle of the body, but more so a battle of the mind. having struggled heavily with his mental health during covid lockdown, matthew made the decision to purchase a pair of dumbbells online, a decision that he says saved his life. i guarantee if i didn't get into sport, i would not be here right now. it's helped me accept my disability and work with it and incorporate it into me as a person, which has then massively increase my mental health just because i'm not anxious about it, i'm not ashamed by it, i'm proud of being disabled. getting into a gym, getting weightlifting, meeting other positive people around me who enjoy doing the same thing, it's genuinely kept me alive. a lot has happened since matthew first picked up some weights, including one of the proudest days of his life, when he became the english champion in may. they called my name. they go, "now introducing england's strongest disabled man, matthew smyth," and my tears just break. i go out, i wasjust... because i'd been training for it for so long, and it's something that i've always wanted to achieve. actually achieving it, it was just a whole �*nother level. i was just on top of the world. this weekend, matthew travels to somerset to battle it out against the best for the british title. tell me the emotions you'll be feeling if they call out your name and they announce you as britain's strongest disabled man. so much has happened in my last two years of training for this. britain's strongest disabled man was my first competition two years ago. i've always wanted this crown. and this year, it's going to happen. there is no doubt about it. it's just... it's going to break me emotionally afterjust hearing it. regardless of the result, matthew has achieved something that no trophy or medal can ever do justice and is proof that sport and exercise really can change someone's life. hopefully peak it's exciting as a player to play in it. you gotta make the decisions a lot quicker. it's really enjoyable from a players point of view.— really enjoyable from a players oint of view. ., ., ., point of view. you also, got them mall in the _

bbc sport website, but for now, good night. hello there. it's been a pretty decent day today across the south—east quadrant of england. plenty of sunshine around. elsewhere, we've seen lots of showers, and some of them have been torrential, with some thunder and lightning mixed in. that's how it's going to remain into the weekend for most of us — sunny spells, scattered showers — because of low pressure nearby. now, the winds will be stronger across northern and western areas for the next couple of days. lighter winds, though, further east. as you can see, fewer isobars there. so the showers which we've had through the day will tend to fade away across many areas, but they'll still continue across northern scotland, parts of northern england, northern ireland and around irish sea coasts. but other areas will remain dry. but a cooler night to come, i think, certainly under clearer skies, temperatures of 7 to 11 degrees. into the start of our week, and we start off with quite a bit of sunshine around. rain, though, showers from the word go across the northern half of scotland. showers will develop widely across england and wales and northern ireland through saturday afternoon and some of them will be heavy and thundery. lighter winds further east, a bit fresher further west. top temperatures, 21 or 22 degrees. mid—to—high teens further north, so it will feel cool, particularly when the showers come along. as we head through saturday night, most of the showers fade away. certainly the heavy ones will. but we'll continue to see thicker cloud, some patchy rain across northern and western areas. and, again, a fairly fresh night to come. i think out of town, temperatures in single figures for many, but just about double figures in towns and cities. and then as we head into sunday, we've got this weather front pushing into western areas. that's going to bring an area of more substantial, patchy rain and cloud to northern ireland initially, then to western scotland, but it's a weakening feature, very quickly weakening, so it will be no more than a band of cloud as it crosses the irish sea. but elsewhere on sunday, sunshine and showers once again. top temperatures, 21 degrees, mid—to—high teens further north. that weather front, then, literally fades away as it spreads across britain on monday. remember, monday is a bank holiday for many of us. so once we lose that weather front, that band of cloud, we could actually see quite a bit of sunshine around for england and wales. a bit more cloud for scotland, northern ireland. but even here, there'll be some sunnier moments. temperatures maybe a little bit higher on monday, 21, 22 degrees here, high teens further north. but with low pressure always fairly close by as we move through the rest of the new week, it will stay generally unsettled. sunshine and showers and feeling a little bit fresher than of late. live from london. this is bbc news. spanish players say they will
