Spanish FA chief refuses to resign

Luis Rubiales has refused to step down following his behaviour at the Women's World Cup final

Luis Rubiales has refused to step down as president of the Spanish football federation following his behaviour at the Women's World Cup final on Sunday. Rubiales, 46, kissed forward Jenni Hermoso on the lips after Spain's 1-0 victory over England. We’ll hear from a Spanish sports journalist on how the scandal is playing out in Spain, as well as reaction from Spanish football fans.

Also in the programme, three-time WWE world champion Bray Wyatt has died at the age of 36. We’ll hear how the news has hit the industry.

And we’ll be joined by two BBC colleagues to look into allegations and counter-allegations of who was responsible for Russian mercenary leader Yevgeny Prigozhin’s death.

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.
