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. This is something i think many people had been expecting for a while, especially since the Luis Rubiales scandal blew up a few days ago. He was seen as a very close ally of Luis Rubiales. Jorge vilda also has had quite a tumultuous relationship at times with spains womens Football Team. Around a year ago there was a Player Rebellion against him and the coaching set up. There is a lot of speculation back then about whether he would hold on to his post. It seems this latest affair surrounding Luis Rubiales has just been too much. Even now he is a world cup winning coach, he has now lost hisjob. In world cup winning coach, he has now lost his ob. ,. , world cup winning coach, he has now lost his job lost his job.

After all, that has been about this. After all, that has been a lot of tension there in the past between jorge vilda a lot of tension there in the past Betweenjorge Vilda and some of his players. I think certainly there will be other players he used to play for the spanish team and who have essentially been boycotting the spanish team for the last few months because they were protesting against the coaching methods, i think they will certainly be happy about this and it might open the door to some players coming back into the team again. I think in that sense, i think we are likely to see anything, possibly some approval of this decision. I think it is unlikely we will see a great deal of support for jorge vilda in the coming hours.

In the days that father, the uproar that followed that case. It became an international uproar. That really overshadowed what was a remarkable world cup when fully spanish womens team, the first time they had one the world cup. There was a feeling that the celebration she would normally see with that kind of sporting achievement, you didnt really see them in the days that followed. There was a parade through the streets of madrid, there were some celebrations, but all of that was very much overshadowed by the Luis Rubiales affair, because it became so big, it became a national and political social issue first up beyond that it became an International Social issue, if you like, about sexual content and other related issues.

We start with the war in ukraine, because a high level and high stakes meeting could happen this month between north koreas leader kim jong un and russian president vladimir putin. According to us officials, Kimjong Un Is expected to make a rare visit overseas and discuss the possibility of north korea providing moscow with weapons to support its war in ukraine. The exact location of the planned meeting is not clear. In a statement, Us National SecurityOfficials Say that Arms Negotiations between russia and north korea are actively advancing. But when asked about this possible summit, the kremlin spokesman said he had nothing to say on this and couldnt confirm the meeting. We go live now to andrei lankov, who is a professor at kookmin university, in seoul, and a specialist in korean studies. Your assessment, first of all, of the story did it surprise you . It sort of surprises me, because i expected that after covid restrictions period, which lasted three years in north korea, kimjong yn will play his First Official visit to china, but he chose russia instead. It is a bit surprising. In terms of what both sides want, what is your sense . Is a pretty transactional, moscow wants weapons, be on gang wants money .

Because shipment of weapons from north korea to russia has been reported for about a year, there have been reports of shipments, but not a single shell has been by the russian side. Basically, north korea has a very small economy, a tiny economy. Yes, they have stuck powers of the ammunition, but their capacity to much is highly doubtful. Yes it probably will sell something but i believe it is largely about politics. After all you cannot escape an impression that both sides are do literally trying to create an impression that theyre going to talk about military cooperation. Even though, north korea simply cannot produce enough ammunition to make a serious difference. If it is not that basic equation, tell me a little bit more about what you think it is. , �. ,.

By supporting north korea, may be hinting that some kind of Military Technology will be provided to north korea.

There will be talks about it as a way. The Russian Ambassador to north korea essentially said that some kind of joint Military Exercises will be held soon. So, it is a kind of Military Activity which is much emphasised by both sides. The russian goal is to send the message to washington, and the north korean goal is to send the message to south korea that it also has russian backing, not only chinese backing, but russian backing, and it is probably getting more dangerous and north korea should be taken more seriously. Also to break through international isolation. Talking about money, labour. North korea workers to russia is going to happen. That is going to be more important than weapons. Just happen.

Lets take you to ukraine now, where footage has emerged on social media, showing a british made Challenger 2 Tank apparently destroyed on the ukrainian front line. Here it is. Its believed to be the First Sighting of one of the 14 challengers since they were sent to kyiv earlier this year. The location is reported to be near robotyne, in the zaporizhzhia region, where heavy fighting has been taking place. Here are the pictures again. This is thought to be the first time a challenger tank has been destroyed in combat since they were introduced in 1994. It was crewed by ukrainian soldiers, and its not known if any were injured. Europes biggest Local AuthorityBirmingham City council has effectively filed for bankruptcy. Its issued something called a section 114 notice which prevents all but essential spending. Earlier this year, the council began talks with the government, after revealing it was struggling with outgoings including equal pay claims and the implementation of a new it system. Lets go lie down to our correspondents, alex forsyth. This is effectively correspondents, alex forsyth. This is effectively a correspondents, alex forsyth. m 3 is effectively a process that some of the councils have a ready gone through. But as you set this is the Largest Council in europe. Excuse the noise. What they have done is essentially issue a section iii one when which means they cannot pay their bills, cannot balance the books. There are a couple of issues here, one is an outstanding equal pay claim which has landed the council with a really big bill. There is another issue around an it system here which is of control and cost the council a lot of money. There are issues with providing services, things like social care when there is a real crew into mind. The council has been sounding warnings about this for some time, but they have got to a point were they are saying they cannot keep the books balance. It does not mean that council services. Running. Books balance. It does not mean that councilservices. Running. Councils council services. Running. Councils cannot councilservices. Running. Councils cannot officially go bankrupt. Things like social care for the most vulnerable, then collection, recycling services, they will also function. But the council will have to get together and work out where it is going to make cuts to the nonessential, non Legal Services that it has to provide to try and get its books in order.

No 10, the Prime Minister as official spokesperson was asked about it this morning and said they were aware of the difficulty is that Birmingham City council is fine saying. But it pointed out to the fact that increase the funding received this year. They effectively are looking at how they have managed to get themselves into the situation. Across the board, despite the fact that local funding has increased for this year and next year, local authorities had been warning for some time that because of inflation, the cost of providing services as well as the man, that other councils are saying that they too are facing budget shortfalls. It does not mean that we get to the same city council that Birmingham City council is in. That has long been a call for another look at the way that local authorities are funded. During that period of austerity, local authorities were hit pretty hard, a lot of their services already. When it comes to making cuts, that can be quite difficult. Also worth mentioning that across councils in england, there have been questions about whether councils have manage thei
