BBC World Service - Newshour, Spain’s World Cup-winning coach sacked amid kiss row

Jorge Vilda, a close ally of suspended Spanish football federation president, fired

Jorge Vilda, a close ally of suspended Spanish football federation president Luis Rubiales, fired.

Spain's football federation has sacked Jorge Vilda, the head coach of its World-Cup-winning women's team. He was a close ally of Luis Rubiales -- the suspended president, who has been under fire for kissing the player Jenni Hermoso on the lips, she says without her consent, as the team celebrated winning the tournament.

Also on the programme: why the North Korean leader seems likely to visit Russia's far east to meet President Putin; and why the hosts of the African climate change summit are being sued for inaction.
