Luis Rubiales has refused to step down as president of the Spanish football federation

Luis Rubiales has refused to step down as president of the Spanish football federation.

The head of Spain's football federation is being taken to court by the government after refusing to resign over his controversial kiss at the Women's World Cup final. Our Europe regional editor gives the latest, and we hear reaction from Spanish football fans.

After nearly two decades, our Africa correspondent Andrew Harding is leaving the continent. He has been telling James what he will remember most about the stories he covered and people he met.

Race walker Hana Burzalova was crossing the finish line at the 2023 World Athletics Championships -- only to be embraced by her team-mate on one knee with a ring in his hand. The couple joins with another couple who had a similar experience. 

And two BBC experts talk about the aftermath of the presumed death of Yevegny Prigozhin. 

Presenter: James Reynolds.
